A Bronx Tale

I loved that movie A Bronx Tale it really showed life lessons. It showed how much C's father and Sunny, C's role model influenced C's life. C's father tried to teach him what he viewed was the right way to grow up and the right way to treat others. While on the other hand Sunny was more power hungery in the sense he wanted everyone to fear him and his gang. Then once he met C at a young age he taught C how to protect himself and how to be a gangster. C was pulled in two different directions and wasn't sure which one was the right one for him. He later then balanced out between both his father and Sunny. Unlike Sunny C couldn't fight people because he knew it was wrong and he didn't want to harm anyone. However unlike C's father C was not prejudice. I just thought how interesting it was throughout the movie to see C grow up and how he was like both his father and Sunny. I thought to myself how much people have an influence on your life. One person is all it takes to turn your life around. That's exactly what happened in A Bronx Tale, C changed tremedously after meeting Sunny. Ever since we were little our parents always influenced us to make the best choices as possible for us, but is it really the better choice? If we hang out with someone that our parents don't approve of is it really bad? C's father highly disliked Sunny but in the end Sunny saved C's life. So my question is are all parents right when the tell their children to keep away from a certain person?
