Built on Fire and Brimstone Gangster films have always operated, but rarely explored, the paradox of mass life. Gangs are created to rebel against society and to its institutions, yet they themselves act as micro-governments Most films have illustrated these institutions through the portrayals of their protagonists, such as Henry Hill's "Goodfellas", however, exists in this paradox its multiple plots that act as a means of representing the structure of the mob in a different way, Gomorrah, unlike most gangster films, explores the way in which the establishment itself, rather than rebellion against the establishment, causes the gears of the mafia keep going. The structure is part of everything, movies, books and. It's so integrated into someone's life; it's such a basic concept, that Garonne is almost never explored in a truly unique way. Unlike the film Il Divo, Gomorrah does not only focus on structure and hierarchy. Garonne chooses to probe the structure of the mafia, revealing the intricate connections that keep it from falling apart. After all, although the skeleton is the foundation of the human body, it is the fibers and muscles that hold it together. Matteo Garrone chooses to divide Gomorrah into several storylines, covering all aspects of gangster life, featuring the mafia hierarchy rather than just a single person. The film begins with a scene that has nothing to do with any of the plot lines; a montage of murders, is the director's way of introducing the crowd to the audience. The mobsters in this introduction have no depth and never reappear on screen. Unlike Scorsese's "Goodfellas," Garonne is more interested in gang structure. “Well… halfway through the card… the audience is more interested in Roberto than Roberto's actions. We can tell from his grandfather that Roberto is not destined for this type of work, and this characterization is reinforced when he leaves his job after throwing away the peaches (symbols of innocence). Garonne, through this unusual characterization, shows the audience that Roberto does not adapt to mafia life. Garonne is also connected in the plot to Toto, a young teenager who, like Henry Hill, is attracted to the mafia. Toto is shown betraying his best friend's mother, ending in her death soon after being initiated as a gang member. Toto is also shown working for this businessman, driving cars in preparation to fill a huge quarry with nuclear waste. In one small scene Garonne connects this extremely wealthy businessman with a young teenager just starting out, showing the audience how everything is so interconnected.
