that lasted many years but it made the mafia in New York seem as if they were the powerhouses of the city. That they were in control of everything that was going on and even glorified the life of a mobster. They portrayed the mafia life as one full of luxury and fun times. They even made the killing of rival mafia members seem cool or necessary. This show portrayed to everyone that being in the mob was the life to live. Even though this show portrayed the mafia as this great thing and made it…

After reading and viewing the mob mentality pieces, I conclude that being in a mob make people’s actions more harsh and unrelenting. For example Smith writes that “These factors sometimes make a person believe that they can act a certain way within a group and not have the same consequences that the same actions would have if he or she acted alone.” This quote means that when people in a group commit a crime, they believe that they are more likely to get away with what they are doing. Since…

they watched suspenseful action crime films. The Godfather and Goodfellas are just two of these popular and commonly known crime action films.

By using first person point of view for telling the story, the audience has the opportunity to feel a personal connection to…

The 1972 film, The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is a perfect example of feudalism. With Vito Corleone as the king pin and the rest of his family as major players in the New York mafia. The Godfather is not the normal gangster film or a film about Italian immigrants. Two social movements occur in The Godfather, the aristocratic court, and the coup. While the film takes place mainly in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s, there are no democratic institutions seen. There are no…
