Plot Summary

Once upon a time, an inventor (Vincent Price) created a man with scissors instead of hands called Edward (Johnny Depp).

Deeply touched by Edward’s situation, she decided to bring him home with her. Then, Edward got to know Peggy’s family and neighborhood. Everybody was quite impressed at first, but when they realised how kind he was, they finally welcomed him into their community. They even tried to help him starting his own business since he could cut trees and style women’s hair with his scissorhands. Nevertheless, not everyone accepted him. When Edward fell in love with Peggy’s daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder), things began to get out of hands when Jim (Anthony Michael Hall), her boyfriend, took advantage of him.

Donnie Brasco

Filmography by Carey

Year: 1997

Directed by: Mike Newell

Written by: Joseph D. Pistone, Richard Woodley

Music by: Patrick Doyle, Gary Schreiner, Curt Sobel

Johnny Depp playing: Donnie Brasco/Joseph D. ‘Joe’ Pistone

Runtime: 127 min.

Release Date: February 28th, 1997

IMDB


Plot Summary

Starting in 1975, FBI agent Joseph D. Pistone is assigned to infiltrate the New York City–based Bonanno crime family. Calling himself Donnie Brasco and posing as a jewel thief expert from Vero Beach, Florida, he befriends Benjamin “Lefty” Ruggiero, a low-level mob hit man whose personal life is in tatters, and Dominick “Sonny Black” Napolitano, the boss of Lefty’s crew.

Lefty can’t seem to make enough money, his son is a drug addict and he is continually passed over for promotion to a higher position within the crime family. He continually reminds Brasco of his growing disillusionment about having spent 30 years in the Mafia (and killing 26 people), with little to show for it.

In Donnie, at least, Lefty sees a young protégé who might be able to succeed where he failed. He takes Donnie under his wing. Donnie quickly becomes accepted by the other family members, as an “associate” (the lowest Mafia rank describing people who have criminal ties to the Mafia but are not actual members) and is later nearly officially inducted into the mob as a “made man.”
