  1. movie gangsters always die near symbols of their broken dreams.

    Vito Corleone dies in his garden, Tony Montana/Carmonte dies near a sign saying THE WORLD IS YOURS, carlito brigante dies near a poster showing a beach, Ben Siegel dies watching his screen test. Stringer Bell dies in his unfinished building.
