黑帮片是好莱坞一个最为重要的电影类型。从早期的强盗片开始,黑帮片沉浮八十年,几度高潮,几度式微,被认为是美国电影史上最富有美国社会特征的影片样式。因为不能忍受强盗和黑帮分子在银幕上赚足人们的掌声和泪水,黑帮片曾几度引起美国政府和司法部门的不满,这一电影类型曾一度消失过。随着《迈阿密风云》的热映,黑帮片再一次引起关注。 Gangster films are one of Hollywood’s most important movie genres. From the early bandits, the gangster has been on the upsurge for eighty years, with several orgasms and degrees of sophistication, considered as the most iconic American film in the history of American cinema. The movie had disappeared when it was unmanageable for how far the robbers and gangsters were making applause and tears on the screen. The gang films have aroused grievances on several occasions by the U.S. government and the judiciary. With the “Miami situation” of the heat, gangster film once again cause for concern.
