When Martin Scorcese tells me what a gangster looks and acts like, it means something to me because he grew up on the streets of New York city, and lived among and knew gangsters. On the other hand, when someone who has spent years in the mafia/gangster havens of Brazil, Sanibel Island, and Oregon tells me a certain gangster film is better than another gangster film because the former is more realistic than the latter, I smile. Your experience with real life gangsters is what, exactly?
