The Big Apple May 2021 Deke (Denzel Washington): It's the little things that are important, Jimmy. It's the little things that get you caught. ---The Little Things (2021) New York has long served as inspiration for filmmakers. It's easy to see why: the city has been a backdrop for some of film's most hilarious, inspiring, suspenseful and deeply moving moments for decades. Sources have pegged the city as a location for well over 1,000 movies since the film industry 's beginnings at the dawn of the twentieth century. New York also has its own life and personality; in fact, it often plays the dual roles of a film's supporting character as well as its physical setting, and its identity touches upon all walks of life. How would you write your own cinematic Big Apple story?
