why are people so sensitive?
I’m Italian American and I love The Godfather I and II and Goodfellas. And a Bronx Tale and The Sopranos.
If someone out there is STUPID enough to think that they make up more than a very small percent of a percent of Italian Americans, why should I care?
Besides, we all know there’s no such thing as the La Cosa Nostra :)
I’m part Italian too. Most of my family from my Dad’s side hails from Naples. But don;t worry, we’re a friendly family. We’re so friendly we make you an offer you cant refuse if you cross us ;)
Michael in Godfathers I had one of the most impressive character arcs ever put on film. The only one I can think of that comes close is Walt in Breaking Bad.
You listed movies that I can watch over, and over again (the same goes for Casino).
I don’t know how old you are but I remember very well the Italian-American clubs and Italians in general getting upset at how Italians were portrayed. The Untouchables was particularly offensive to a lot of Italians. I also remember my father who was first generation and born in 1913 telling me how he was excluded from a lot of jobs. But he never complained. He just worked harder.
