>>221405662the godfather movies have virtually zero correlation with reality and are pound for pound some of the most unrealistic films ever created. But that has no bearing on their worth as films. American gangster flabbergasted the detectives and police that worked on the actual cases. The real Frank Lucas was an illiterate bully that behaved like an ogre and was about as sophisticated as one. scarface is a meme. the rest, yeah more true than false, but with a lot of liberties of course.
>>221405662actual former mobsters claim that the whole thing about the Italian mob having a code of honor, being a family etc. is utter bullshit and always was. Everyone will rat you out to save their skin.
>>221405990That's because real mafiosos didn't like the gidfather book. Made them look bad. So they made sure the script was rewritten to make them look good. And were present duromg the filming.
>>221406021didnt they just hate how italians were portrayed as racists ?
>>221406129No.

>>221405835Legit fucked up. Little kids looking up to these guys in the restaurants."Hey kid, go warm up my car." All excited not knowing they were afraid of car bombs.Assholes.
>>221405662I like how it was presented in Donnie Brasco - essentially thugs with delusions of grandeur caught up in a pyramid scheme.
>>221407711That's ebery profession ever.
>>221405759>>221405662They have to be retarded right?Just extorting and doing scams in their local neighborhood.Didnt even just use the money to flip it on the stock market or legit housing.
