Lo sapevi?
- QuizMichael is the name of Don Corleone's (Marlon Brando) son in The Godfather. He describes himself as different from his father, but fate draws him into the "family business", and he takes his father's place. Michael is played by Al Pacino, and the character Michael in this episode resembles him.
- Citazioni
Lisa Simpson: [Michael has just told Fat Tony that he successfully killed a gang of rival mobsters] Michael, why didn't you tell him the truth that it was an accident?
[suspiciously]
Lisa Simpson: It was an accident, wasn't it Michael?
Michael: [a la Michael Corleone] Don't ever ask me about my business, Lisa.
[the Godfather theme starts playing as Michael shuts the door in her face]

Recensione in evidenza
Conflicting Memories and Changing Tones
I watched the first two Godfather movies, and I didn't like them. They seemed boring to me, and their plot wasn't as clear while watching, and the victims weren't as terrified as they're portrayed in this episode of The Simpsons. Besides, that kind of cinema is mostly enjoyed by the kind of people I dislike - the ones who used to bully me in school.
Being a popular show, The Simpsons became a favorite of those who mocked me and socially isolated me. When I watched The Simpsons in my perpetual loneliness, I questioned whether I should continue watching, since it was also enjoyed by my enemies, who outnumbered me. I felt like I was alone against a larger group, thinking that the show and other popular works were made for people who had friends and a socially healthy mindset.
So, not only do I believe this episode is overrated due to annoying comedic details that miss the mark, like ending the episode with Michael, Fat Tony's son, in an absurd way by playing with toy cars, or Bart and Homer laughing in front of Michael while changing weapons in their hands - jokes that are out of tone and style compared to the show's golden era - but also because I remember someone I didn't get along with in school really enjoyed this episode.
I'd like to be like Michael if I ever encounter one of those people again. But the truth is, it's an episode with a good plot, but it's tainted by my childhood memories and those jokes that no longer follow the classic style of the series.
It's a pity to have to partially judge an episode for something the writers couldn't control, but when it comes to rating, I have to consider the emotions that the works I consume evoke in me.
