They weren't wealthy legitimately though lol definetly a crime drama. I get the respect your going for though for the movie, but like the underground railroad was a thing. The Godfather wasn't lol

I see your point though, it's just a well made movie

Idk though! Part of the reason the film is so legendary is how much it sums up 20th century American history.

The replacement of family values with soulless capitalism WAS a thing that actually happened, like the Underground Railroad.

I think to separate the history from the film is to not understand why it’s so often held up as The Great American Film.
