Interesting question. Would you rather be a Sonny or a Michael.
Burn red hot with intensity and emotion. Leave a legend behind you and die young in the prime of your career. No regrets. No old age pains. No compromises. No regrets.
Sit and stew in the shadows as you lose your family and your friends. Most of whom you drove away or even killed. No one really cares. About your. Or what you have done. You have power. You have money. You have fear.You have nothing. But four walls and your pain.
Who would you rather be? Sonny or Michael

Yeah he was a hot head. He lived. He loved. He died. He was true to his family. He was killed because he wanted to protect his sister.
Michael lived a long life. Because among other things he killed his brother.
Which is better?
Connie's hairbrush
Michael - because a live dog is better than a dead lion. As for living fast and dying young, lets not forget Fredo who was "banging cocktail waitresses - two at a time".
False dichotomy - Vito was the man. He lived a grand life, died in his garden with his grandson.
James Caan isn't even Italian. But I like how he handled a garbage can.
I don't like the idea of Barzini taking over the five families
Michael was left paranoid and alone at the end of Godfather II (don't get me started about III) but was Sonny's path better? So the old man got to see his oldest boy killed and Michael got to see his Sicilian wife killed in I and daughter killed at the end of III. Does that forebode for Trump's Slovakian wife Meliana and Ivanka?
Trump is a self-obsessed clown and the media are having a field day with his Mexican comment.
It's not so much the comment - it's what the predictable hack press do with it to tear him down.
Hickenlooper was on mic laughing at Trump for all to see on local news. Hickenlooper is on Hillary's short list for VP. Hickenlooper used to say he thought Hillary had ethical problems. Funny - No footage of that.
You could make the argument that Hillary is more of a Tataglia and Obama is Barzini. Newt could be Tom Hagen, Pantangelli, or Tessio, depending on the day.
So who is Moe Green? Bernie?
It's an interesting question. Michael didn't look like he had much fun.......Here's another question: Why do Italian-Americans choose gangsters to dramatize their odyssey in America. Why not the DiMaggio brothers. I think their story would be far more epic and revelatory of the Italian-American experience here.
