A few years after Goodfellas, director Martin Scorsese made another soundtrack-heavy mob film starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. This time around, it was called Casino. And although some critics complained that the film was a retread of Goodfellas, I don’t think that’s entirely true. Casino has its own charms and some compelling themes that make it an enjoyable movie.

One of those themes is the idea that nobody escapes their past. This is an important theme in many Scorsese movies, especially his westerns. But in Casino, it takes on a more sinister form. Almost every character in the film has some kind of flaw that they’re trying to hide behind a veneer of glamour and success.

Another theme is voyeurism and the fact that everyone is being watched. This is also a theme in some of Scorsese’s work, but it is much more prominent in Casino than in his other films. This is because the story centers on a place that relies heavily on gambling, a form of entertainment where money is constantly changing hands.

Finally, the film is a bit of a cautionary tale about gambling. The bottom line is that it’s a dangerous business. If you’re not careful, you could end up losing all your money. That’s why it’s so important to set a budget for yourself before you enter the casino and to stick to it. And remember that a casino isn’t a charity organization that gives free money away; it’s a business that has a built-in advantage that ensures that it will always win in the long run.
