Whitey Bulger’s life and historical reconstruction of the events on theaters sept 18th 2015

Black Mass released sept 18th 2015

 

 

Warner Bros. at the end has booked a special release date for the upcoming and first, Whitey Bulger’s historical reconstruction of his criminal life starring Johnny Depp and based on the book written by Gerard O’Neill and Dick Lehr, former Boston Globe reporters

 

 

  Black Mass:  Whitey Bulger, the F.B.I. and a Devil’s Deal.

 

Both reporters and writers, truly passionate of mafia and irish mob, previously the two had written together another book:  The Underboss: The Rise and Fall of a Mafia Family reconstructing the end of Jerry Angiulo’s clan in the city of Boston thanks to the good action at that time of powerful agent of the F.B.I. John Connolly.

 

An agent had surprised everyone for this investigative talent able to cut down and forever powerful italian mafia but not only. Thanks to his work it was revealed maybe for the first time in the history of  investigation involving italian mafia a lot about the secret structure of this powerful organized criminal association, still unknown at that time, involving vows and modality of recruitment. All facts incredibly precious for investigators.

Later, it seems (Connolly repeats he is innocent) Connolly was involved in this Devil’s Deal with Whitey Bulger, irish and boss of the South Boston’t irish mafia. Whitey became it seems, in fact the most important informant of the F.B.I. although he was the boss of the irish  mafia of South Boston and so a contradiction in terms because in general for destroying a powerful and well organized criminal structure, agents tend to using littlest “fishes”.

 

Whitey Bulger’s defense is preparing the appeal and they will try to proving that the story Whitey was an F.B.I. informant, was a falsity. All the people in fact involved in this story are still alive and so Whitey’s story and the one of the other people connected and involved in various ways with him is still in progress revealing everyday continous surprises. Whitey is 84 years and in jail with two life sentences.

Directed by Scott Cooper, the movie, Johnny Depp apart in the role of Whitye Bulger  will involve: Joel Edgerton as John Connolly , Benedict Cumberbatch as Will Bulger,  Whitey Bulger’s brother.

In the cast there are also: Jesse Plemons, Sienna Miller, Dakota Johnson, Rory Cochrane, Julianne Nicholson, Adam Scott, and Golden Globe Winner Prize Kevin Bacon

A Golden Globe winner joins, a news of just few hours ago the set of the still unnamed movie (hope that at the end it will be called Black Mass) Black Mass: Kevin Bacon .

 

This prestigious new arrival will add for sure other precious lymph at this stunning reconstruction of Whitey Bulger’s life, portrayed wonderfully by an unrecognizable Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger   .

 

Bacon is an actor very well-known in Boston where he filmed in fact Mystic River and R.I.P.D.

Whitey Bulger: this terrible mafioso and gangster consecrated his life to crime. He terrorized in particular South Boston during the 70s and 80s. An Era and Season of Terror, where crime and illegality had found great humus. Whitey brought terror and panic all around an area where lived mainly irish catholic people. A place without peace. Elderly people are remembering that years without any regret and when they talk about that moments and years they still remember and feel a big fear, terror.

Thanks to a Whitey’s friend, John Connolly, a very powerful F.B.I. agent in Boston in pension at that time, Whitey Bulger was in grade of going away from the city, when the situation started to be too much difficult and maybe some protections were falling.

 

Connolly in fact it seemed he said him of leaving Boston as soon as possible because in big danger. Connolly at that time was in pension but someone from the F.B.I. of Boston let him know this news. Wind was changing and someone wanted to put Whitey in jail as soon as possible. Whitey and other three of his men were risking a lot and just one of them was captured.

Whitey went away and found a secluded place in a Santa Monica’s apartment, where, when discovered only 16 years later in 2011 agents found a real arsenal of weapons, 30 in total and something like 800.000 and more cash dollars. A man, Whitey, betrayed fundamentally by a  Miss Iceland 1974, a passion for poor abandoned, homeless cats , and Bin Laden’s capture.

A fatal mixture of events, brought him directly in jail and this time forever.

The role assigned to Kevin Bacon will be the one of Charles McGuire.

This character, never existed, is the sum for what understood, of the various agents served as supervisors in the Boston F.B.I. office during the period when John Connolly was working at the F.B.I.

John Connolly knew Whitey Bulger and Whitey’s family since he was little. He later became a very good F.B.I. agent and he started to be very much appreciated and grew up enormously when he arrested and de facto defeated all the italian mafia clan located in Boston, discovering very interesting fact regarding the internal recruitment and structure of the same one. An impressive work for sure.

No one so would have thought or imagined that maybe as said also by Lehr and O’Neill in a portion of the title of their book “Black Mass : Whitey Bulger, the F.B.I. and a Devil’s Deal“, there would have been a “Devil’s Deal” with the irish mob.

In fact later Whitey Bulger became thanks to Connolly the main informant of the F.B.I This fact can be considered a bit weird because in general informants, as also reported by several old F.B.I. agents, can’t never be any boss of any criminal organization because theoretically the main idea should be the one of capturing them trying to defeated their criminal organized structures. That’s why in general informants are more little criminals with good connections with criminality.

Thanks to this friendhsip it seems with the F.B.I. agent Connolly (John Connolly repeats he is innocent) Whitey Bulger was in grade to become the most powerful mafioso of the area.
