I could not help but sympathize both of them only to realize that I am feeling warmth for two mobsters. The scene with these two is funny and almost adorable. There is a scene at the beginning, in which, during his daughter's wedding day, one of his associates, Luca Brasi (Lenny Montana) practices his speech that he is going to give to the Don when he meets him. He avoids conflict until it is absolutely necessary. But for people like him, who do not fully embrace this world, it's not easy. He is the most honest of these men, sitting right on the edge. It all revolves around the Corleone family led by Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando). From the outside, we would only witness the horrifying, disturbing manifestations of their well-thought out actions.
We are surrounded by its inhabitants-cold-blooded murderers, men who see crime like a 9 to 5 job masquerading as honorable men. It is also the reason why it's so welcoming. Coppola puts us straight in the smack-dab center of what is, admittedly, a society made by criminals for criminals. This film works so well because it takes place in an underworld in which we are so embedded that we do not even observe it. Now that I have seen it three times, the opportunity of sharing my thoughts and refreshed insights are too much of a good offer to sit on. But not early enough to postpone writing these lines. It's late and tomorrow I have to wake up a bit early. It is now past 1 PM and I just finished watching Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather".
