		<description>This is a quiet and subtle sequence which I think goes under appreciated because it is so quiet. Like the best gangster movies this film explores tensions in our moral framework - we sympathize with and even grow fond of criminals - their virtues of friendship and brotherhood resonate with us. We temporarily overlook their criminality even brutality.

The meta-referential shift when the stills turn into snapshots/ film and back again is not only an analog of the main character&#039;s duplicit persona-shift, but is also an abrupt refocusing of our own moral camera. Check out the uncanny kerning. It is the familiar ineffably not quite right - easy to initially overlook but unmistakable once discovered. The type acts not only as a metaphor of the gangster&#039;s overlooking Donnie Brasco&#039;s true self but it simultaneously makes our point of view coincident with the gangsters; and ultimately forces us to confront our moral oversight.</description>
