However, I don't feel like thinking hard right now.<br /><br />Malik was so sexy to me. Hmmph, Hmmph he could whisper sweet nothings in my ear in French or Arabic. I am a dirty old woman what can I type?<br /><br /><br />Okay, so I want to touch on this loyalty thing. I agree Malik was fiercely loyal. However, I think his loyalty was to himself and his survival. He was respectful to others. And he definitely scratched the back of those who were kind to him. He was quiet and unassuming, so many could build a rapport and eventually bond with him which led to loyalty. I loved that he was a watcher. I loved that he took mental notes.<br /><br />Another aspect of the movie is his duality of two cultures. While to me it seemed like he embraced both. It seemed that throughout his life he had been an outcast because of it which left him vulnerable.<br /><br />I don't know if it was loyalty to Lucianni. I think it was necessity for survival. Malik could've been loyal to the Corsicans had they shown him some respect. However, as his errands & jobs grew and more 'trust' was given; he was still treated with disrespect. I don't believe they ever trusted Malik. They trusted in his fear of them. They felt like, 'We got this dirty Muslim's life in the palm of our hands.' For Lucianni he was his favorite mutt. And as odd as this will read, I think Lucianni had love for Malik as if a nephew or younger cousin. However, he could not show it in front of the other Corsicans. Lucianni's had to remain loyal to his own kind. To do anything else would cause him to lose his power. <br /><br />I could go on and on. But I really enjoyed your take on this Underboss.Mob Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05445366653000349199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462257661555495097.post-87585837548886895892011-06-11T12:11:24.652-07:002011-06-11T12:11:24.652-07:00Once again a riveting blog, Underboss.
