I'm in the middle of watching the 1974 movie. I'm really into it. I do have one question about what I just saw. Right around the half way point...
During the Robert DeNiro segment, when big balled young Vito decides to branch out and claim territory, he kills the current leader of the neighborhood. Okay, that part I got. But then he goes over and puts his pistol in his mouth and fires a final shot. It seemed significant somehow. I have one theory, but it seems far-fetched. Can anybody explain why the director had the Vito character do this? Thanks!
