	Mafia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sicilian Mafia's power in the United States peaked in the mid-20th century, until a series of FBI investigations in the 1970s and 1980s reduced the Mafia's influence.
		It is wrongly known as the "original Mafia", although it was neither the oldest criminal organization, nor the first to act in the U.S. In 1986, according to government reports, it was estimated that there are 1,700 members of "La Cosa Nostra" and thousands of associate members.
		Mafia activities were restricted until 1920, when they exploded because of the introduction of the prohibition.

		“Mafia could be classed as two games in one, racing and action, but linked by the background story.” In the film The Usual Suspects, the main suspect told police in flashback sequences what had happened in return for immunity: that same scenario is played out in Mafia.
		Because the Mafia are trying to get him and his family ‚concrete overcoats’ and he wants protection.
		What we believe makes Mafia different from other similar titles is that ours not only tries to recreate the atmosphere of the times, but it mustn’t be classed as an action game.

		The last decade or so has seen the emergence of a spate of American Mafia movies representing an evolving genre which seems not to be taking itself very seriously.
		What is present in the United States but generally absent in Italy is the vast range of Mafia novels --though the police stories of Andrea Cammileri have perhaps filled this void to some extent.
		An interesting angle that might have been further developed is the theme of the American housewife who discovers her bizarre roots and must evolve into something which, on a cultural and emotional level, she is not.

		It has returned to the screens, but what you see on screen is the mafia that was, not the mafia that is. Film director and producer of a documentary on the Italian mafia, Armando Ceste, sees plain profits as the reason behind the renewed interest in making mafia-related movies.
		Amongst the numerous mafia-related movies produced lately, 'Alla Luce del Sole' (Under the Sun), released in 2004 tells the story of Don Pino Puglisi, a parish priest assassinated in 1993 for his involvement in the battle against the mafia and its grip on the people of Sicilian capital Palermo.
		We can keep producing movies and documentaries on the mafia but we can no longer ignore and avoid representing the present political liaisons between the mafia and the political system.” *Paola Pepere in Rome contributed to this report.

	Mafia Movies by Murray N. Rothbard
		Unfortunately, the Western movie is no more, felled perhaps by endless and unimaginative repetition, but possibly, too, by the dogged leftist insistence in the later Westerns for the Indians to be the Good Guys and the whites the Bad.
		The more recent innovative Hollywood genre, ranking with the Western, is the Mafia movie: the clash of heroes and villains against a mythic but reality-grounded world, updated to twentieth-century America.
		But the great classic, the definitive, superb Mafia movie was The Godfathers I and II, in which Francis Ford Coppola poured out a work of genius, grounded in his own and novelist Mario Puzo's cultural history, which he has never approached since.

	Rap Influences Toronto Gangs
		Inspired by the lifestyles of Mafia bosses, the Scarborough street gang has evolved from drug deals and robberies to credit card fraud and making counterfeit money, say several police officers who spent years investigating the gang.
		But the Malvern Crew's businesses were shut down yesterday when 65 alleged gang members and associates were yanked from their beds across the Toronto region in a series of early morning arrests that were part of the largest anti-gang takedown in the city's history.
		The movies have so influenced the Malvern Crew and other Scarborough gangs that one of the most popular street names for local gangsters is Scarface, inspired by the 1983 film starring Al Pacino as a brutal character who builds an empire in Miami's violent drug trade, the officer said.

		Apparently inspired by the movie parodies in Mad magazine and the comedies of Mel Brooks, Abrahams has skewered disaster flicks, police sagas and military movies.
		In "Mafia!" he pokes fun at mob movies, particularly the "Godfather" epics and Martin Scorsese films like "Casino" and "GoodFellas." And because the movies are so stylized and take themselves so seriously, they're easy targets.
		"Mafia!" is funniest in the early going but eventually runs out of steam, as the jokes become more obvious.

		Mafia is also available on: PlayStation 2, Xbox
		Visually Mafia looks amazing; textures on buildings feature some very crisp and intricate details, whilst there’s some very nice lighting and shadow effects seen beautifully in the games day-night cycle.
		We’ve tested it on both a GeForce 2 and GeForce 3 equipped PC’s and both versions look superb, it’s worth the investment to a GeForce 3 as the full-scene anti-aliasing combined with the higher resolution and improved lighting really add to the atmosphere.

	Why do guys like Mafia movies? - DiscussAnything.com - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		I was talking about movies that glorify the Mafia, drugs, senseless violence, etc. But if that's what you meant, then I don't agree that it's healthy.
		I think men like mafia movies because the mafia guys live by their own rules.
		I think the attraction of mafia movies is the suspension of rules, even if for the moment, (both Goodfellas and Casino pointed out the error of their ways in the end), but there is something enticing about being able to thumb one's nose at the conventions of life, if even only for a short time.

		Let me start out by saying that I'm the type of person who is open to all kinds of comedy, whether it's dumb or smart, that's just me. Though I'll admit, this movie was the kind of dumb comedy that my 8 year old brother would laugh hysterically at simply because of the physical humor.
		As for me, I found the movie to be funny despite what others may say.
		In short, this movie would only be considered funny, or even good, depending on the type of person you are.

		The movie is based on the book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, the true story of Henry Hill, whose career in the mafia lasted three decades.
		The strength of this movie is in its realistic portrayal of criminal life.
		As with many Mafia movies, though, this contains a considerable amount of violence and pervasive strong language.

		Within 20 minutes, all the accumulated romance of scores of Mafia epics washes away, and all the accumulated nonsense about "men of honor" and "men of respect" circles the drain.
		The phrase "excellent cadavers" is a too-literal translation of an Italian expression more accurately rendered in English as "eminent corpses." It used to be that the Mafia, shunning public attention, made it a point to avoid killing prominent people outside Mafia circles.
		At the state funeral, she directly addresses the Mafia, knowing they're present at the church.
