As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I’d say Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece, “Casino,” transports his passion for crime from the gritty streets of New York City to the glitzy Las Vegas Strip. The stark deserts mirror the city’s vibrant energy, yet hide its sinister undertones just as effectively. The dazzling neon lights can make you forget about Vegas’ darker secrets, and the endless desert vistas might conceal a hidden burial site. Unlike Scorsese’s iconic “GoodFellas,” where Joe Pesci met his untimely end, “Casino” sees him back with a vengeance, channeling unrelenting fury. Robert De Niro, on the other hand, swaps his sharp suits for a vibrant collection that mirrors the intensity of his new environment.
