   Is Legend a gangster biopic?

   • As a gangster biopic, Legend is deeply flawed, but as a showcase for Tom Hardy -- in a dual role, no less -- it just about lives up to its title. Legend really does waste the majority of its potential, Helgeland never tapping into the story of the Kray brothers in a way that is essential or lasting.

   What does the gangster symbolize in American films?

   • “The gangster in Americans films is a mythical figure, a symbol of man’s aspiration and man’s hubris. “He is often an immigrant rising through the ranks of the mob, and then having a tragic fall; that’s what you get in The Godfather and Scarface. These films are about people who live out the American Dream in the purest sense.

   Nov 20, 2015 · Legend. Crime. 131 minutes ‧ R ‧ 2015. Glenn Kenny. November 20, 2015. 5 min read. The Kray Brothers, Reggie and Ronnie, were such ostentatiously violent and vulgar gangsters that they practically constituted a self-parody.
