"Its a harsh world at times. Discussing political power structures, corruption, revolution and sacrifice to little kids is a tough task. So why not let these talking animals do the work to get the ball rolling. Based on the George Orwell book of the same name (which I also loved as a kid)."

"Christian Bale is the sexiest yuppie of all. He is smart, successful and has great status in social circles... we'll just forget about the fact that he is also a psychotic killer who rapes, murders and dismembers both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or purpose. Learn from his success not his failures."

"So, Robert DeNiro is only as good as a character Scorcese writes for him. Casino presents DeNiro and Pesci doing what they do best... playing DeNiro and Pesci. In my opinion if you want to experience the best of Martin Scorcese and see what makes Robert DeNiro, Robert DeNiro then watch these: 1. Casino 2. King of Comedy 3. Goodfellas 4. Mean Streets 5. Taxi Driver 6. Raging Bull Oh and it..."

The strands of thriller and social realism are inextricably tied together in the film.
