      1. Has anyone written an essay on the ways that the Godfather is misunderstood. It's a rich topic.https://twitter.com/brianbeutler/status/889175601965346817 …

      Beyond the widely noted terrible framing, I can't get over the White House's obsession with and misunderstanding of this Godfather allusion. pic.twitter.com/UvURVGipDJ

      2. Brian goes into the way the phrase "go to the mattresses" is misunderstood. Narrative context in which phrase used also important.

      3. In film, phase is used by Sonny, hothead who launches stupid open war that gets himself killed. "A bad Don," in words of his father.

      4. In film, smart play is not Sonny style open war but Michael-style sneak attack. Also larger issue that Corleone's aren't role models!

          Isn't this why Coppola made a sequel? Too many people liked the corleones?

          5. If we just take first 2 films, Corleone's story is a tragic one: violence adopted to defend family ends up tearing family apart.

          On a similar note, too many people think "go get your shine box" is a sick burn, forgetting what happened to Billy Batts in Goodfellas.
