"Si hay que medir las películas sobre mafiosos sería así: El Padrino es el retrato idealista de la mafia por excelencia; Buenos Muchachos muestra un punto medio con el extasis del mafioso (ascenso y descenso); y El Funeral es quizás la antitesis de la mafia por demasía. Todos y cada uno de los personajes son patéticos y no están para nada glorificados ni son para nada masculinos en sus acciones como las demás de su tipo. Pero eso no quiere decir que sean unánimemente odiosos como si todo"

"Ever since The Godfather, it seems like mafia families just don't get it. Living "the life" means "la familia" of the mob gets priority over the family of your blood. And making the life of "la familia" a family bizaness usually translates into the idea that the family that shoots together, dies together. Next thing you know, whenever a big event that involves the relatives comes along, you won't be able to tell whether you're at a family reunion or at a family funeral. "
