Gangster Movies

I think that americans like gangster movies because it's something that pulls there interest and is different,it's basically a whole different life that is the opposite of most peoples from good to bad. The popularity of these movies does say something of us as people,it says that we like more than one persona of life you can be good but everyone has a bad side to them. I guess it says something of our culture that we like violence and peace. Some of my favorite gangster movies are "Menace 2 society","Boyz n da hood", and "American me". What usually happens in the end of gangster movies is a tragic end or a revelation and the main character becomes good.
