Discussion Question:
Do films like The Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, and Donny Brasco glorify the lives of those involved in organized crime?
What about HBO's award-winning series The Sopranos?
Why do so many people find Tony Soprano to be a sympathetic character?
Discussion Answer:
The darker side of humanity has always been glorified in films and organized crime is no exception. The Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino and Donnie Brasco are just a few films about organized crime where they are glorified by showing a lifestyle of excess, without consequence and where a lot of money can be made. The HBO's award-winning series The Sopranos is no different, but the title character Tony Soprano has been found to be a sympathetic character because he is essentially a family man just trying to provide for them.
