The Godfather- for those who haven’t seen it… I have no comment – luckily your reading this blog and have chosen to leave your hiding place of under a rock. So I welcome you to an enriching entry regarding The Godfather.No, this is not a movie review but just to set the quote in perspective I will give you some background on the film. The epic plot takes place over many years, telling the story of Vito, his family--including Michael (Al Pacino), Santino (James Caan) and Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), his associates, and their interactions with other mob syndicates.
Now for the quote.
Michael Corleone (Al Pacino): My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a President or senator.
Kay Adams (Diane Keaton): Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed.
Michael Corleone (Al Pacino): My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a President or senator.
Kay Adams (Diane Keaton): Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed.
Michael Corleone: Oh. Who's being naive, Kay?
Amazing quote- simple, blunt and direct.
Even if you haven’t seen the movie the quote is self-explanatory. From these few lines of dialogue it is implied that presidents and senators have people killed just as a mob boss would. The only difference between the two is the preconveived notions that come with each title.
When one hears ‘Mob Boss’ or ‘The Godfather’ the assumption is money hungry, drug abusing, Armani suit wearing, business driven, killing machine.
However, when one hears ‘President’ or ‘Senator’ the assumption is a leader, a good person with the ability to make good decisions to benefit the greater good.
Reality Check.
The only difference between a ‘mob boss’ and a ‘presidident’ is the mob boss is honest about what there doing. No sugarcoating oversensationalized speeches- just the truth- raw and honest. Personally, I’d want the honest version apposed to believing someone cares about you.
The Presidant is a job title. Meaning money is being made. In the world in which we live everyone is out for them selves even the president. Presidents are deceiving liars who pay speech writers to make the worst things sound good.
Wars are started how? Presidents getting to comfortable and sitting and the comfortable chair and oak desk.
“Whats on the agenda today…..nothing (spins globe)…Hmnm France- A war against France?”
Presidents are killing innocent people. How? Who is funding the military? Presidents… If the budget didn’t allow for the military there would be no massive wars.
In the world of organized crime, murders only happen when one betrays the orders given. When in that situation its do or die and one joining the organization knows this.
When electing a president – you don’t think that you will be sent into war.
Mob Boss or Preisdent
The Godfather or the Senitor
Either way- money is made, people are hurt.
The end product is the same in either title.
