Anyone else feel sorry for Caesar ?

Everybody seems to root for Cesaer. But let's not forget that the women weren't clear as water either. Somewhere down the line they will just do it again with some innocent unsuspecting civilian.

I felt a bit sorry for Cesar and anyone who had to interact with Johnnie Marzzone. Guys like him exist outside of the Cosa Nostra-spoiled,arrogant,legends in their own minds-and they are always hell to deal with. Cesar and Johnnie might have tried to kill each other even if Violet and Corky had not schemed and stolen the money. Total clash of egos waiting to happen.

Violet and Cesar were using each other-this was not a betrayal of true love.

Caesar lost it early on and the two ladies deserve the money. Violet took a lot of grief from Caesar for five years and he was a sadist. So when they planned the theft Caesar was suppose to run, they didn't plan to kill Caesar but after he threaten Violet, she was forced into live or die situation... I loved the interplay of the women, great love scene...

Yes, I did feel sorry for Cesar and I did root for him. Certainly more than Violet or Corky.

First of all, he is not a sadist, Johnnie and Mickey are sadists. It was made pretty clear that Cesar was uncomfortable with the torture, and moreover, he never tortured Shelly. Being desensitized by a life of crime and taking pleasure in inflicting pain are not the same thing. Sure, you could say he was complicit in the torture, but so were Violet and Corky. Why didn't they just pick up the phone and call the cops?

Cesar is a murderer, since he killed Gino, Johnnie and the body guard, but so is Violet (for killing Cesar), and any case that could be made for her killing him in self defence would equally apply to Cesar.

Corky is a thief who picks up odd jobs for the mob. I'm not saying she's worse than Cesar, but she's no saint either. She also had no problem with framing a guy who was only ever nice to her and getting him killed.

Violet is a manipulating murderer who's fine with framing the guy who gave her everything and, as far as we know, never mistreated her, because she's bored with him. Lots of people get sick of their partner, but they just leave, they don't have them killed by the mob (which was essentially what she was doing). She could have just walked out and disappeared, but she saw a 2 million dollar payday and just had to snatch it whatever the cost.
