Why do we all look up to Don Corleone?

He was a businessman involved in some let's say 'bad' situations.

Is he really any different that the Senators and congressmen Presidents and Prime Ministers around the World?

And I mean other than the Tax paying issue!

Is he different than the leader of a country who is there not through the will of the people in a democratic vote but by means of force?

I don't have the answers to the question. I do know that 32 years after it's release we're still talking about the Godfather.

Says something no?!
