I agree with that.Take note of Michaels face when Fredo acts naive.Michael starts to smile,as he probably reconfirmed trust in his brother for the time being.

The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato
