Casino just left no room for Bugsy.
Are you not comprehending what she's saying? She said that the director should have made a movie with the character Bugsy in it or at least mention the man.
He's not doing it any justice cuz Bugsy was the guy that had the vision..organized crime like that in Vegas wasn't a concept until Bugsy made that happen.
Pay attention. Know you're history.

But it's a movie set around real events that happened after Bugsy was long dead.
Exactly. The whole point of the movie is chronicling how the mob lost its hold on Vegas, which happened many decades after Bugsy was dead. It'd be like making a movie about the Clinton Presidential scandal and being upset that JFK wasn't featured in it.
There's really no need. The story works fine as is.
So many stories, so little time. -

Wow, eventually you got your message across. -

I can't believe it took more than this:
Can't hold that against the movie. Bugsy was dead for decades by that point.
The movie just wasn't about how the mob got established in Vegas. Had that been the story, then yeah, for sure Bugsy would've been a part of it. But that just wasn't the case. That's not the story the novel told, and that's not the story Scorsese told.

You really are clueless. You keep talking about the story Scorsese made up and saying it's based loosely on events.
But what she's saying is that it would have been more authentic to have Bugsy in the movie about the mafia and vagas since it was his idea.
Now people associate Casino with Goodfellas.

I'm so sick of people changing the subject to insult Donna.
The facts are the facts. Scorsese totally ignored Bugsy. He makes it seem like Nickie and Ace brought organize crime to Vegas and they brought it down.
Not true.

Not true.
And I'm sick of people who support animal abusers. 🦜🦜🦜
Please gamble all your money away in Vegas, you copycat.
