  3. jdalefan says

    We will never really be understood.

    Most people either forget the quality, artistic values, or both of photography. It's not something you can do by just getting a "good" camera. It is nice to see this list though.

  25. Mick Burrow says

    The Public Eye (1992) Joe Pesci plays 'The Great Bernzini a news photographer, and a portrail and dramatized version of real life photographer Arthur Felig aka: Weegee. Bernzini finds himself caught in the middle of a mob war by photographing he aftermath of murders committed by two rival gangs. Berzi who knows all the cops and all the criminals in his town uncovers a plot of mass murder done by one mob against the other for control of black market fuel during World War 2. Bernzi wanting to do the right thing, but still get his pictures, gets the idea of wanting to photograph the killing as it happens and expose the mob war and all it's wrong doings. The film also follows Bernzi's desire to be recognized as an artist and not a poperattzi; and his struggles to battle lonliness as he falls in love with a posh night club owner and unattainable mob mistress played by Barabera Hershey. The film seems to be a lost and hidden amd gem that didn't seem to make this list of top 10 movie photographers.
