Every once in a while, people always ask us to look at things from a different angle. "People become criminals because of the circumstances and not are mostly not inherently evil". We see no such pleading in the film.. Coming after the release of the very successful first half, the movie tells the backstory of the patriarch.

We can see the setting of the United States when the first wave of immigrants had rushed to New York City from the Old World. Rather than being intriguing as the first film, this delves headfirst into telling the story of how power was built from almost nothing.

I saw this film only for the excellent acting and direction. Apart from this, I do not condone violence or organised crime, much like almost everyone who rate these films highly. Yet, I still feel bad that such films were at times misused by "Cosa Nostra" as propaganda for hiring men.
