Vito embraced the Mafia life “I don't apologize that's my life†whereas Michael to Geary “we're both part of the same hypocrisyâ€
An astonishing admission from someone as self-deluded as Michael.
Vito was astonishing on all counts
Vito was instrumental, contributed and caused the death / gloom / doom of every one of his children
Vito was slipping even in business including his handling of the drugs trade “Ten years ago could Sollozzo have gotten to Vito"
The official Mario Puzo Library The Godfather is Mafia leader Vito Corleone, benevolent despot who stops at nothing to gain and hold power
The Godfather is a friendly man, a "reasonable" man, a just man -- and the deadliest gang leader in the Cosa Nostra
Finally the truth!
