Does family matter? Yes, family always matters. You need to have some sort of family structure to have a stable foundation. This need for stability and structure is how the family survives and children find security. In the films The Godfather and Scarface we will discover how the two differ when it comes to family and family business. These two patriarchs have different views on family and how the family is involved in the business. In this discovery you struggle to gain and maintain power, but in the process you lose everything. While the other supports the family through peace negotiations and understanding that business and revenge cannot always go hand in hand for the family to survive. Watching the movie The Godfather here we see a man who is the head of the entire Corleone family. All those who are part of the family (Italian or Sicilian) and the extended family come from Don Vito Corleone also known as the Godfather. At the beginning in the second scene we are welcomed to a wedding. This wedding is significant as the entire family is present. This is the wedding of the Godfather's daughters. Yet the Godfather is busy with family business but one of the traditions of this wedding, especially for Sicilians and Italians, is that the bride has what is called a wedding purse where each of those present at the wedding will give money of any amount to put in your bag. So, even with business going on, those who come to visit the Godfather still bring money for the bride's wedding purse. This is done out of respect for the head of the family. Right here from the beginning we see that family is important and that no one disrespects any member of the family or goes against the wishes of the head patriarch. It is the Godfather who asks the family to stay with the family and never side with anyone outside. of the family, whatever the situation. Vito the Godfather would remind them that family is family and no one will fail to treat or use any family member. He proves this point when his godson comes to him about a problem with a director named Jack Woltz. Since Jonny Fontane is the godson, the Godfather Corleone will send his stepson, the family's advisor, to California to advise the director to give the part to Fontane..
