Real Case Makes Point in ‘Sopranos'

Submitted by Hawaiianboy, Jun 15, 2007 20:06

David Chase is not as smart as most people think he is. Sure, the Sopranos is on the lips of every one. Let me point out that most of his scripts comes out of books from guys who lived to tell about it. Joe Bonanno, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello, even nobodys like Joe Luparelli and the list goes on. Not only does he gets ideas from books but also from certain court documents which can be accessed to the public. And we all no that he mostly gets it from the Decalvacante Clan. Even a guy from way out here can see all of that. But hats off to David, he does real well in his homework. Then again, I thought that he could have gotten better writers and scripts considering his resoureses. Hey Jerry, I love your articles, we all have to make a living. Aloha !
