Francis Ford Coppola in an 1970s interview compared Don Corleone with Europe and Michael Coreleone with the New World. The new world looks at the old world and thinks, I am better than that and will not engage in the old violent ways of thinking and acting I will do better, but in the end, the new world is actually more violent and more blood thirsty than the old world
Don Corleone, I'm gonna leave you now, because I know you are busy.
Sonny: Mickey Mantle? That's what you're upset about? Mantle makes $100,000 a year. How much does your father make? If your dad ever can't pay the rent and needs money, go ask Mickey Mantle. See what happens. Mickey Mantle don't care about you. Why care about him?
