Product Description
Product Description
Warren Beatty and Annette Bening star in the incredible true story of Benjamin Bugsy Siegel, the playboy gangster who betrayed the Mob for love. A cold-blooded killer who dreamed of Hollywood stardom, a crazed patriot who plotted against Mussolini, and the brilliant visionary who carved Las Vegas out of the dry Nevada desert, Bugsy had it all. Until he fell for the one woman who wanted more. A critical masterpiece, BUGSY is a remarkable collaboration of Hollywood's best: director Barry Levinson, screenwriter James Toback, and an all-star supporting cast that includes Harvey Keitel, Oscar(r)-winner Ben Kingsley (Best Actor, Gandhi,1982), Joe Mantegna, and Elliott Gould. But at the center of itall is the white-hot romance between Bugsy and the insatiable starlet, Virginia Hill.

Bugsy represents an almost miraculous combination of director, writer, and star on a project that represents a career highlight for everyone involved. It's one of the best American gangster movies ever made--as good in its own way as any of the Godfather films--and it's impossible to imagine anyone better than Beatty in the movie's flashy title role. As notorious mobster and Las Vegas visionary "Bugsy" Siegel, Beatty is perfectly cast as a man whose dreams are greater than his ability to realize them--or at least, greater than his ability to stay alive while making those dreams come true. With a glamorous Hollywood mistress (Annette Bening) who shares Bugsy's dream while pursuing her own upwardly mobile agenda, Bugsy seems oblivious to threats when he begins to spend too much of the mob's money on the creation of the Flamingo casino. Meyer Lansky (Ben Kingsley) and Mickey Cohen (Harvey Keitel) will support Bugsy's wild ambition to a point, after which all bets are off, and Bugsy's life hangs in the balance. From the obvious chemistry of Beatty and Bening (who met and later married off-screen) to the sumptuous reproduction of 1940s Hollywood, every detail in this movie feels impeccably right. Beatty is simply mesmerizing as the man who invented Las Vegas but never saw it thrive, moving from infectious idealism to brutal violence in the blink of an eye. Director Barry Levinson is also in peak form here, guiding the stylish story with a subtle balance of admiration and horror; we can catch Bugsy's Vegas fever and root for the gangster's success, but we know he'll get what he deserves. We might wish that Bugsy had lived to see his dream turn into a booming oasis, but the movie doesn't suggest that we should shed any tears. --Jeff Shannon

This is my hidden best film of all times next to <Time of the Gypsies> and <Double life of Veronique>.
Also I feel like it is sometimes even better then the <Godfather trilogy> in some way.
It has more passion in acting, good lighting, camerawork, great music by Ennio Morricone, and above all unforgettable ending.
As everybody knows Bugsy is the one who discovers the Las Vegas and build the first casino hotel there and named it a flaminco. It is still there in Las Vegas although it is running by a different guy now.
Bugsy<Warren Beatty> is a guy who is very quixotic, idealistic guy who does not interested much about money. He is rather interested in making or doing something that is not tengible but something that can be something to be hailed in the future.
Also his moto is Everyone needs a second chance and anyone can be changed.
That's what he believed about Vigrinia<Annete Benning> who everybody think is a whole who hangs aroung with anything that move.
He is also very sanguine and if he is mad, no one can stop him. He can kill anyone, I, men anyone that he wants. He has no fear at all.
But when he got an eye on Virginia<Annete Benning>, he gave up anything and spends everything to have her. Time, money and even his reputaion and his neck.
Virginia<Annete Benning> found out he really loves her and for the first time she changed herself and falls into him. She even gives up the stolen money and comes back to him when he was about to fly to LA when he has trouble building LAS VEGAS bacause of lack of money.
When Bugsy<Warren Beatty> was murdered, she returnes all the stolen money to Meyer Lansky<Ben Kingsley>, Busy's true friend who tried to protect Busy from being murder, and she killed herself in Europe.
There are so many beautiful shots in this movie and the most beautiful moment I remember was when Virginia<Annete Benning> first visits to Bugsy<Warren Beatty>'s new house in LA and when he was watching a pantomime through the film projected through the screen, When two of them are behind the screen the light from the projector enlights two of them and make them look like shadow animation and when they kiss with each other with the most beautiful music composed by Ennio Morriocone, that was the most enchantng moment from the movie that I can never forget. They were fighting and talking with each other saying if this relationship goes on, there will be nothing but pain and angony. And Busy says there will be a fresh start and we will be ok, something like that which will not be it at the end.
As time goes by, Virginia<Annete Benning> slowley becomes like Bugsy<Warren Beatty> and when Bugsy was in a prison for a short time and Virginia was taking care of the construction area in Las Vegas, Meyer Lansky<Ben Kingsley> visits and says you are becomming more like Bugsy everyday. She sure does. She talks like him and acts like him.
This movie is about love and the idealist's sad ending.
It's a beautiful sad tragedy and when I saw THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS winning the OSCAR over this movie, I was so angry that I couldn't even sleep. I remember that day so well. This movie should have won at least 10 Oscar.
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was just a boxoffice his movie.
This movie on the other hand should be remember forever.
It is a true masterpiece.
Bugsy tells us this tale, plus the tale of The Great Love Affair between he and Virginia Hill. It is a tumultuos, passionate affair that unfortunately did not end on a happy note. Due to outstanding building costs ( and the fact that Virginia stole money from "the boys") Bugsy was killed and Virginia commited suicide a few years later in Austria. The film is amazing to look at. The production design, editing, and writing recapture the Classic Warner Bros. gangster flicks of the '30's and '40's. Warren Beatty has never given a more fine performance than he does here. His Bugsy is a handsome, charming, cruel, seductive, rabid, passionate killer. The "Bark like a dog" scene is classic! The always brilliant Annette Bening makes us believe that she is from this time period in the way she talks, walks, and flirts. I would like to single out the music. The score is written by Ennio Morricone (Sergio Leone films, The Untouchables et al). It is a romantic melody with dissonant notes that underscore the violence of the relationship. If you have not seen this movie, you owe it to yourself.

La interpretación de Warren Beatty es magnífica en su papel del gangster estadounidense Martin "Bugsy" Goldstein (1905–1941).
La biografía de este mafioso es interesantísima y está narrada con gran maestría, tanta que parece un documental.
Annette Bening borda su papel también, lo mismo que el resto del reparto ((Ben Kingsley, Harvey Keitel, Bill Graham...). Rodando esta película Warren y Annette se enamoraron y su unión aún perdura.
Esta producción de 1991 fue candidata a 10 Oscars de los que sólo se hizo con dos: mejor vestuario y mejor dirección artística, ambas merecidísimas. Warren Beatty estaba nominado como mejor actor, pero se lo llevó Anthony Hopkins por "El silencio de los corderos".
Muy recomendable para adultos, no para niños por el tema que trata (mafiosos, violencia, crímenes, juego...)
