Traditional family values innit.😊 One of the things that makes the film fascinating is its morally neutral study of family, religion, tradition, agrarian blood feuds and loyalties all interweaved together. It's like a piece of social anthropology with a Catholic assumption of the inevitably fallen nature of mankind underpinning it. From a non-puritanical perspective, I find that outlook civilising and it's something that makes the film infinitely more interesting than the standard puritanical Hollywood battles between goodies and baddies. Because it is morally ambivalent it is humanly insightful.

If that's your last scene you're going to go out the right way 😂

Google the Medici family. They were into banking and were considered the first crime family in Italy.

The baby’s an actress now!

You and my wife. She went to parochial school from K-8. Once she escaped into a public HS, she took her uniform into her backyard and burned it. Like most girls who went to the same Long Island parochial school, she married a Jewish guy... me 😁😁😁 On the other hand, her predecessor was also Irish Catholic as is my wife. Difference is...the ex was also antisemitic. Night she dumped me after 11 months, he words were "I'd rather be with a nice Catholic boy now." Her voice and eyes were cold. She dumped me for this fat worm who was going to go into the priesthood but instead he decided to split me and her up. Got sick from what happened. When I met my wife almost 4 years later, I had warning bells go off in my head. I sure as hell didn't want a repeat of the ex. Luckily she wasn't. Wife would love to meet the ex and send her to the moon.

What arcane rituals? Don’t see any, I’m a recent convert and I’ve been doing heavy research, don’t see anything arcane here.

​@@Vifffavonk The whole baptism ritual is as arcane as witchcraft, so are the halloween costumes worn by priests and bishops. And if there truly is such a thing as "sin", it's the amount of money lavished on material things such as museum-like cathedrals, instead of devoting that money to caring for the poor. Don't you know the Catholic church is the biggest landowner in the world? That the Catholic church is first and foremost a political organization that grew from the ashes of the Roman Empire? That the Catholic church's inquisitions were responsible for the torture and murder of hundreds of thousands? Do you really think God endorses a religion that does that? Do you really think God is so REMOTE from you, that you can't directly know God, and that you need a priest as an intermediary? I'm truly sorry to hear you are a recent convert -- I offer my condolences. Instead of putting your faith in some religion -- any religion -- I urge you to learn true spirituality and make your own choices. Don't let some church tell you what to believe. Find God on your own and develop a direct relationship with God, instead of putting intermediaries between you and the Creator. God is with you right now, and you don't need a church to come between you and God. I pray for you.

Islam was never a religion of peace accepted that, baptisms are holy and you do know this is a movie about the mob? The church has nothing to do with what Michael taking out the families here.

It’s film mate! It wouldn’t be that interesting if none of these heads of the families died.

The best scene was 3 hours long!
