As stated in my title, not sure why people said there are no subtitles. There are. Maybe they were to busy listening to the documentary and not actually watching it.
That aside it was a great documentary. I have heard of his name but never really knew much about him, his family or mafia connections. Being italian, I've always had a interest in the mafia of course. I'm sure some of my uncles were involved in the american one. But it's a subject they often won't talk about.
I feel for Buscetta. He is both villian and hero. And I feel for his son that wanted nothing do with him. I can understand why he hated him, but at the same time I can understand that all Tommaso wanted to do was protect his family so they could lead a normal life. Yes, he may have been bad in the past, but he was trying to "atone" for his sins. I am not in the sons shoes so obviously I can never understand what it's like.
In the end, and I don't say this as if anyone should die like this, its as if the cancer was sort of the price to pay for Tommaso's past life. At least he died naturally and not by someone trying to kill him.
