It’s a dark yet a human portrayal of men who were greatly feared in that time period. This classic Francis Ford Coppola film authentically portrays mobs like we’ve never seen before. The theme of the movie can almost be summed up in one line from the film, “It wasn’t personal, just business.” This relation between family and business is what pops up throughout the film.
