The movie the godfather depicts the life of vito corleone, head of a mafia family. the mafia family is a criminal secret society
strojnjashka [21]
As such, the mafia is a counterculture.
Take into consideration the counterculture of the 60s - the hippie culture who opposed wars and fought the government in a peaceful way.
