I agree. That's where I learned a lot of Italian.

May I suggest a mortician? He did wonderful work on Santino Corleone.

Gee, I guess you represent the West, the MidWest, and the South, so if you say The Godfather isn't part of American culture, we have to take your word for it.No. But if you think that a study of mob life is representative of American culture I disagree. Not everyone thinks the mafia is something to revered.

The end of GF I is another reference to Sicilian culture in the film. Michael is killing all of his enemies at one time. Also done in GF III. It is referred to as Sicilian vespers.
Every evening at 6 the church bells ring and evryone looks up to the cross on top of the church and prays. One evening when the occupying French soldiers looked up, each had their throats cut by a Sicilian.

If all you see in the GF is mob life, then I think you missed half of the point.

"No. But if you think that a study of mob life is representative of American culture I disagree.",I don't think the intent was to say thet the GF movies are representative of American life but they are, quite clearly, a cultural element of American life the way John Wayne is a cultural element of American life.
Just a part, a bit of the flavor, a cultural reference that most people understand.

I just simply can't stand the way mafia movies are held in such high esteem. They stand for a way of life that is to be reviled not revered as so many seem to do.

Well it was the highest grossing film of all time upon release so I would say it made pretty serious inroads into American culture. And previously the novel was a publishing phenomena.

They don't revere Mafia life any more then Macbeth reveres its title character. If you had seen the 2nd one you'd see that the descent into Mafia life is treatest as stark human tragedy.
