Yes, I know. I didn't say he had her killed. She dies because of him, though. If there wasn't someone trying to kill him, she wouldn't have been blown up. He got her killed. By the way, what happens to the body guard? The movie makes it seem like he just gets away with it. You'd think a guy who went ahead and killed two people for shooting his dad would go find the guy that blew up the "love of his life." Instead, it just seems as if he gets away with it. Nothing happens to him.He doesn't get his wife killed,
Okay, so supposedly his father takes him under his wing and turns him into a mafia guy. Why do they not show anything that happens over the year that he is supposedly back? It's terrible writing. They skip a whole year's events where they could have shown his transformation. Instead we get one line where he says he has been back a whole year.he is betrayed by one of his guards and someone else has her killed. He decides to come back to the US because his only reason for being in Sicily is that he is in hiding. His father negotiates with the five families and makes it safe for him to return, then takes him under his wing as the heir to the family business.
How does that make any sense? You're the head of a mafia family. You last wife was blown up in a car. The thing to do is to get another wife? Why? Maybe if they had shown some of the stuff that happened during the year he was back, they could have shown the character develop. As it is, there is no reason for him to get another wife.I think it makes complete sense that as part of that transition he would want to take a wife and have kids. I do not understand why this is so baffling to you.
He doesn't seem to reject his families lifestyle much. He still goes to the parties. He knows everything they do. He takes his date to the wedding at the start of the movie.he is an anti-hero because he starts our as spmeone who rejects his family's crimiinal lifestyle and by the end he becomes the leader of a criminal empire.
We are discussing he first movie. What happens in the second movie does not matter. The first movie should be able to stand on its own. If you require the second movie to show 'character development,' the first movie has done a poor job of character development.In the second movie he even goes to the point of having his brother killed. He basically saves the family in the first film. I do not at all see poor character development here.
