I know that there are posts about this subject in previous years, but after watching the Epic several times in the last few months (and re-reading the novel), I thought I'd bring it up again.
Did Vito have contempt for America or loathe America? We all know about the deleted scene when he sarcastically refers to Michael's military medals as miracles for strangers. We all know that he refers to Kay as Michael's American girlfriend. Of course, the novel has him stating that he has been good to them when referring to his button men enlisting in the Army as payback for America being good to them.
As far as I can tell, there's nothing in the novel or Epic which illustrates that to Vito America was nothing more than a money-making opportunity.
"Generosity. That was my first mistake." "Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us." "Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."
