Example
In the movie American Gangster Denzel Washington plays a drug king pin named Frank Lucus. He makes is reign in Harlem stronger by employing crooked cops, politicians, and other members of the mafia to do his dirty work and to buy from him. This movie is full of realism because it shows a drug epidemic and the way that un-honest cops help to keep it going. The way that he uses is power is almost ingenious. He imported large quantities of heroin in from Southeast Asia by flying them in on American military planes. He sells a better product than his competition for a price lower forcing them to go in to business with him thus making the drug epidemic worse than it was. He is finally caught and is arrested. He was sentenced to 185 years in prison but got it reduced to 15 on account of him helping to put all the politicians, cops, and judges he employed in jail.
