Is Vito Corleone heartless, or does he just have a weird way of showing respect?
>>219872193He clearly cared about Native American rights.
Can someone please make a fanart of the part in the Godfather/Scarface crossover fic where he chloroforms Tony Montana while talking to him softly?
>>219872193>welcome to the family business carlo>i'm happy for you>also i hope you didnt sprain your wrists beating my daughter all those times
>>219872193When on earth is he heartless in the film?He consistently shows he cares:>Doesn't want Michael involved in the business>Cares about family, loves to play with his grandchildren >Refuses to bring drugs into the business because it will ruin livesIf anything he is actually a representation of the old money of America whose values were being eroded by the new money which didn't have the same compassion of value set
>>219872305Chloroform is dangerous. How would I make it clear that he's just putting him to sleep and not murdering him?
>>219872547Using chloroform to put people to sleep is such a common thing in fiction it would already be clear.
>>219872530he also raised his oldest son to be a temperamental, unfaithful degenerate. he raised his middle son to be a retard and then allowed years of spite to ferment by allowing him to be abused in the family business. he idiotically thought his youngest son would have any shot of being a senator or governor with the reputation of the Corleone last name. he raised his daughter to be a vapid, idiotic hole and couldnt even be bothered to step up when she was being used as a literal punching bag because of le traditions. then he leaves that family to pickup the pieces after he walks out unprotected (except for the retarded middle son) into the street to buy fruit during a literal fucking mafia war. shit father through and through
>>219872305
>>219872193A person would have to act pessimistic and self assured if you're in that business. Michael has to carry the torch after his dad passes away
>>219872193How was he heartless?
>>219875466He ordered numerous, brutal murders.
>>219872193He cares a lot about his family and friends. As for everyone else it's an entirely different story
>>219875284That’s not what I asked for.
Michael ends up the heartless one. Vito grew up rough but had to be hard in that business.
>>219875705War is war, he was no more heartless than the other side only soldiers were dying>>219872530Not getting into drugs was probably partially because he was smart to know it was bad for business
>>219877274This. Vito intimates by putting a horse's head in a guy's bed. Michael has a prostitute killed to intimidate a senator. This contrast was on purpose. In fact, the whole point of the Vito flashbacks is to juxtapose Vito's humble start helping out his Italian ghetto by getting rid of actual exploitative bosses and corrupt landlords while Michael grows so evil he ends up killing his brother.
>>219875705Also the nature of his business is shaking down innocent people.
>>219872305Try >>>/wsr/ They do fetish art.
No one fingers the cat because no one expects the cat to be the real boss.
>>219880620Weird to imagine the smell of piss soaked kitty litter and catturds permeating the corleone household during these scenes
>>219872530>Sicilian peasant gangster >representative of new England old moneyLiterally what could anon have meant by this
>>219880620the cat should have talked like salem
>>219880862if cats aren't trapped inside they will shit and piss outdoors. they will even kick dirt to cover it up and go out of their way to do it far from home. you can't truly bond with a cat unless it has the free will to just leave forever so indoor cat owners are punished for their sins with the piss soaked kitty litter smell and toxoplasmosis. the funniest part is that the kick dirt to cover it up instinct doesn't fade. they literally kick pissy litter around with their two hind legs like a horse just to further punish the indoor cat owners of the world
