Discussing
Mob Rules

From Mean Streets to The Irishman, Martin Scorsese’s gangster movies depict organized crime as a religion of inviolable laws, devoid of mercy and grace.

I rewatched Casino today and was thinking about how much the editing reminded me of The Age of Innocence. Then I thought of this article and realized that The Age of Innocence would completely fit in this piece. The rules that must be followed to protect a way of life, the lack of grace, even people being constantly watched.

Love this observation, Andrew. I've long wanted to revisit Age of Innocence. You've given me yet another reason!
