Gangster Genre Changes

The gangster genre changed over time. At first they weren't allowed to show the gangster or bad guy succeeding, and they weren't allowed to show how they robbed.  Now, gangster movie are a lot less censored. They show lots of blood, and sometimes nudity, and in certain movies, the bad guy will prevail. Some of the movies portray the bad guy as a lovable character and it's sad when they die or when something bad happens to them.
