Was The Godfather Racist?

Speaking of the godfather the dude who played Connie's husband was apparently some legit mobster I guess. He claims to have killed a pedophile at age 11 and f*cked Marilyn Monroe at age 15(when she was 33).

He for real did shoot and kill a guy in the 1980s in self defense in some casino he owned, but it turned out the guy worked for Pablo Escobar. So Escobar was after him and he says he went down there to Mexico to plea for his life and they tortured until they found out he was in "The Godfather". And apparently they made him re-enact the scene where Michael grills him about Sonny's death. And then drove him t the airport.

Lol. I'm not making this up, this is what the guy claims. His name is Gianni Russo.

None of this is crazy.

Not compared to a theory like

Spoiler:
a claim that American jews are really an Italian American Mafia invention, and all jews in America are Italians..

Marlon Brando f*cked Richard Pryor.

It's a well made movie, I just don't find it engaging at all. It has the same problem that almost all mob movies have for me (besides Goodfellas and Casino), and that's that I just find all the characters obnoxious and annoying and have no sympathy for them and want them to die.

YOU ARE A LIAR!!!!!!

Falling out of the chair at death is foreshadowing the shadow force of life that is goodness.
The days were different then but the shadow force of life goes on without us if we choose.

Maybe I'm just racist against Italians.

Well the Fredo scence is like saying that Judus pushed Peter in the water.

Bottom line is it's a great movie. But pt 2 is better.

And yes, it actually is somewhat racist.

I just don't like mob movies in general. Goodfellas is amazing. Casino is fun.

In the Sopranos they did a great job with Tony Soprano, he was a really compelling and sympathetic character, I hated everyone else though.
