he'll favor putin as the good lap dog that he is
in a leftist-taliban-like direction, but true. he's stronger than ever
funny thing that all the tariffs he wants to impose is an essentially leftist idea. Government interference in the economy. I thought free market was the way, what happend?
i never really understood this thing about questadt being Roth's man. what's the implication of that?
1) the funny thing is that, according to IMDB, Danny Aiello ad libbed that line
2) That's subtle. Few minutes after that, we see Tom giving Rocco an order "get rid of the bodies" and then Rocco answers "where's Michael?", like he only answers to Michael and doesn't know yet who's the new boss. Tom then swiftly says "Rocco!". So this is, to some degree, that thing "in play" here. But most importantly, i think the film wants us to see that 1) Michael wants to use the eagerness of Tom to be seen as a brother. He knows that that will make Tom never betray the family, because it will hit his guts. (By the way that contrasts with what Michael says just earlier "all our men are business men, their loyalty is based on that") 2) Even though Tom is the don and we have to assume all the capos learn that at some point, we still see some hesitancy in them to follow Tom's commands. Rocco's example i just mentioned is just one. The other one is on the motel's room when he signals with his head for Al to leave the place, and Al takes quite a moment longer to actually do it. All that reinforces the idea that this Tom as a don thing is just a play by Michael.
It's funny that intentionally or not, the movie tries to show us that the most fit person to be don was Tom all along. Dude was balanced, wise, brave, loyal as fuck ("can't do that, Sally"). He just wasn't sicilian.
no. the share of his voters who are still minimally sane will jump off the boat with these convictions
didn't the defense participate in choosing the jurors? they had the power to dismiss candidates who they thought were biased
12 people disagree with you
didn't the defense participate in choosing the jurors? didn't they have the power to veto jurors based on background?
what's cc, by the way, that the doctors asks the nurse while treating Kay?
he lost the election
suppose you were inside a reproduction clinic and it caught fire, and the time you had available were enough to either save yourself and a 5 years old child OR save yourself and a container containing 5000 human embryos.
Are you fucking tell me you would even think about what the right thing to do was?
so, in order to APPEAR not to be a chinese asset, Biden will take, on an issue that's EXTREMELY important to china (Taiwan's independence), an unfavorable stance towards them and when it comes to a weather balloon (that was taken down), he's allegedly pro China? Are you paying attention to what you're saying?
if Joe Biden works for China, do you mind telling me why the US is trying to enforce the point of view that Taiwan is independent?
also, after 2 and a half weeks riding a camel, you're not in the best of your faculties
remember the phrase
" our prisoners are treated (by the turks) harshly"
"how harshly?"
"more harshly than i hope you can imagine"
the film also hints at this when the second kid is about to die "if they take him, you know what they will do to him" (what they're gonna do to him isn't mentioned)
I think Ali's expression is linked with that
not an american, but i'd be terrified if i were and he had leaked top classified documents to foreign powers. We'll never know if he did. He certainly could and we wouldn't know.
what made me very angry was the fact that he spoiled her biggest dream, by asking her that spirituality question for the whole world to see, just so he could keep her from risking her life.
how selfish can this piece of shit be?
went to see it and it does look like deniro, only in the late 80s. In mean streets (1967) he was skinny and this cab driver is somewhat chubby
