I agree to a point but the profanity makes these programs more realistic. This is how these guys act and talk. The Godfather is a very romantic view of the mob - smart, intelligent, family men. In real life though they are thugs.
I disagree with Turi, because the Godfather was convincing enough to me how ruthless the mafia is without all the profanity. Look at The Godfather III, Lo and behold more profanity and what do we have here? Lower ratings! ***gasps***
My point is simply this: profanity, sexual content, and violence can be pressent without display, take Casino for example. The "vice scene" that was terrible and never should have been permitted. That is way too graphic and inhumane. This story is naratted by DeNiro and Pesci, they could have easily informed the audience what happpened without showing that!
