The Cinematic Downfall: Analyzing Frank Costello's Moment in Film
The journey of Frank Costello, a character enveloped in the grittiness of the New York City underworld, serves as an encapsulating lens through which one can examine the intricacies of film storytelling. The tension escalates early in the narrative when Costello faces an assassination attempt in the elevator of his condo – a moment brimming with suspense, reflecting a brutal reality he inhabits. However, it opens up debates regarding narrative techniques, particularly the utilization of voiceovers, and shifting audience perceptions tied to current events and celebrity interactions.
