The narrative is succinct, clear, powerful, and finally less chatty.
Reminds me a little bit of Melville, only the shots are less stylized. Relatively simple, but also more popular.
The theme of immigration, ethnicity, is a period feature of this film, and Melville's gang has nothing to do with it.
At the end of the film, the protagonist walks out of prison after his six-year sentence is completed. A group of brothers get off the bus and wait. He walks to the wife and child of his friend who came to greet him, and walks with her to the bus station to return home. The cars behind followed slowly. This moment is the birth ceremony of the 25-year-old new godfather. Although not as emotional as the famous passage of Michael's Godfather's baptism and massacre in parallel, it's all under the hood.
