TASK 12: HISTORICAL TEXT

For my historical text i decided to relate my text to the movie called the "god father" 1987;because i found out that there are many similarities in way that it is a gangster movie and it also includes drugs and crimes;etc...
it is a good text to refer to when writing my study because it is also named the number one gangster movie ever made.
The similarities between the two texts is that they both use the issues of crimes and drugs and they both have the same type of of genre which is the gangster genre; and also both of them use black actors and gangsters.
the differences is that this movie is based on a life of soldier who just came back from the second world war but needed money so he started getting involved into gangster groups and also started getting into drugs etc...
the texts show something in common is that both characters are in need of money so they both start getting involved into gangsters and crimes;in order to get money;and also the similarity is that both main characters seem to follow their family which were already involved into drugs and crimes etc...
for example Michael in God Father after coming back from the war finds that all his family is involved in the mafia, and 50Cent mother is involved in drugs and crimes and that she was being killed by a gangster.
The difference that these two movies is trying to show is that they are showing that the society has changed over the years; when this movie was filmed in 1987; there wasn't that much gangsters and crimes compared to our days now; but also on the other side we can see the progress at that time when 50cent was in his early years started to get involved in crimes and that was the period when God Father was shot and this shows that was the period that this gangster genre started to become really popular even if it was such as in the movie Shaft; but during that period of the 80s it was the period that the gangster genre became popular and the society started to face those problems such as drugs and crimes; which is also shown by mentioning being the n1 gangster movie and that is the reason that it became successful because it was the start of the gangster and crime period; and that what the movie 50cent shows when he was in his teenage years.
but it wasn't that popular and surprising when it was out in 2005; because there were already movies such as God father which really developed the genre and gave us a view of what was going to happen in the society during the 90 and 00 which started happening in 50cents movie and in the society.
