The movies' display of corporate greed is compelling even though Mr Shaw must have signed over any patent rights as a condition of his employment.The fact that Mr Shaw actually went to prison for attaching his equipment to the Bell system phone lines (are you kidding me?) for a misdemeanor demonstrates an example of obvious corporate influence.His relationship with organized crime is, I surmise, a combination of naivety and poor judgment and nothing more. Mr Shaw Sr is clearly a martyr but his son is definitely not. He is a life long criminal who appears to have reconciled with his father in order to exploit his unfortunate situation for financial gain. Think of Brian Williams, Al Sharpton; some things are so obvious.
