Godfather: Friend or foe?


What do you make of the Godfather, Friend or foe? He hired Hazari for rickshaw pulling, but the son of the godfather wants to demolish the slums.

The Godfather was amoral. The SOG was a SOB.

He was both friend and foe. He ran the slum, and kept things in order in the absence of any form of law and order. He provided jobs, took care of his "people" (sort of) and collected protection money from everyone. In the book he could be compassionate and generous, knowing that keeping on the right side of everyone worked best, but his son did not understand that. He could also be cruel to those who defied him or refused to pay kickbacks.

Speaking of the Godfather, am I the only one who noticed that the son looked exactly like John Cazale? When I saw him, I immediately thought of Fredo Corleone.

Ha ha. I didn't think of Art Malik looking like John Cazale, but he kinda does.
