Subject: TEACHSOC: crime as work-- Film?
I know sopranos is a good tv program for this topic, but
could anyone please suggest a popular full length film that would be highly
relevant.
have been slacking on my sociological duty to go to the movies
for a while now.
In
solidarity,

Depending on the nature of the
project, you also might want them
tolook at a show like the Sopranos as
well as other "gangster
films".The Sopranos is especially good at showing
how folks
rationalize theircriminal activities. It has a lot of
flaws,
but David Simon's book"Tony Soprano's America: The Criminal Side
of
the American Dream" mightbe a good place to
start.
