I decided that my entertainment choices as of lately had been lacking testosterone, so I finally convinced myself to sit through The Godfather. Yes, every single male on this planet goes on and on about how this is the greatest movie ever made since cave drawings were invented, yet the idea of watching guys shoot each other for 3 hours never seemed appealing to me. Nevertheless, I felt that now it was finally time. So after you get through the first hour and a half, the movie becomes more bearable (dare I say almost enjoyable) and you can start to understand the full scope of the philosophy that the authors are trying to convey. So what did I learn from this?
1. When you want to get something from people, always make them an offer they can't refuse.
2. Always side with the family.
3. Protecting your family is the most important thing. This can sometimes include getting involved with drugs and killing people.
4. Si tu fiul meu Brutus? aka always expect to be killed.
5. Women are naive and innocent creatures that need to be perpetually protected and honesty is overrated.
Overall, I can't say it was as painful as I initially expected it to be. However, if this is what reality is like (and I have a good feeling it is), then I am only left with this one phrase that has become legendary through the powers of 9gag and facebook: I don't want to live in this world anymore...
