on the waterfront

I thought On the Waterfront was decent movie. It was an easy movie to follow and figure out the message it was trying to send. I disliked the music they chose for it. My favorite scene was at the end when Terry and Johnny in the fight at the waterfront. It was my favorite because you actually got to see Terry's fighting skills that he talked about. I feel this movie has been so highly acclaimed over the years because of how controversial it is. The mob had so much control over the community. Everyone knew what they were up to, but no one would speak up because they feared for their lives.
