So Enzo was kinda of a a-hole.

So Enzo was kinda of a a-hole

He was a deeply flawed, flesh and blood mortal, just like the rest of us. For going on a decade, we've gorged ourselves on so may superhero and Star Wars flicks, we've forgotten that real life ain't as polarized as Good guys vs half-dimensionally evils

Yeah, he fathered a child while married, as is common in many cultures, including Mediterranean ones. He also provided for/was active in his son's life + kept his word to not acknowledge him publicly until his wife and long-time supporter died. That's life.... No one is Peter Parker, Iron Man, or Thor in reality

He wasn’t an angel but he really wasn’t out of the norm.

Movie is shit, Mann’s worst to date!

I liked the message of the movie. Why shouldn't a great man have great things? It was a very old world take on modern ideals, in line with the Italian setting. I thought they juxtaposed the old world and new world agendas nicely. It was the meat of the picture.

Somebody who had to fight left and right to keep a company going like that is going to have issues. The 1970's being my favorite movie decade, I am personally okay with flawed characters. Not for everyone, though.

Can you name a boss of a big company that achieved great things and wasn't an asshole?

Steve Jobs is a famous world-class asshole, the founder of Facebook was an asshole in The Social Network.

Ya know MLK was a philandering a-hole as well right?
