Talk about the character's transformation in the film?

Hello.

I saw this film for the first time a few days ago, and what I was really taken aback by is how gradual and comprehensive the protagonist's transformation is.

Marlon Brando's character, in the beginning of the film, is shown to be firmly on the side of the mob even though he does have a conscience. Over the course of the film, we see a turn around taking place that's almost as comprehensive as that of Ebenezer Scrooge.

What incident from the film leapt out at you that showed a definite change in Marlon's character? I felt it was the scene where the Father's speaking beside the dead worker's body and people keep heckling him. Marlon gets so annoyed by this that he shows his hostility openly, surprising the boss.

Come on! Out with your opinions. :)

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world
