I don't agree with Barack Obama about much, but we might agree on this point.
The Godfather II is, without question, the best movie ever made about power and how it works in the real world.
Think about this: Obama was raised without a father.
The only male role model was his layabout grandfather.
He studied the two Godfathers, closely.
They were a major part of his political education.
I plan on writing a in-depth thread on Obama and The Godfather movies, after I finish with the Spygate series (which you may have noticed has a lot of Italy in it).
The Godfather I & II are just as relevant today as they were 40 years ago.
