The Other McCain is shocked. Israel and ‘The Godfather’
In the comments on yesterday’s post about the Hamas attack on Israel, we learned something new: Dianna Deeley has never watched The Godfather, which is why she didn’t get a reference to a key plot point in the movie, when Don Corleone finally realizes that “it was Barzini all along.”
After I saw the comment, I actually called Dianna to express my shock that she’d never seen The Godfather. “I don’t like mob movies,” she said. And I was outraged. The Godfather is a “mob movie” in roughly the same sense that Casablanca is a “World War II movie.”
There is even a scene in You've Got Mail in which Tom Hanks tells Meg Ryan, "Go the the mattresses," and she asks, "What is it with men and The Godfather?"
So you can file this under the heading "Life Imitating Art." Or maybe it should be filed under "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus."
