Indeed, here's Pauline Kael on The Godfather in the New Yorker:

    Organized crime is not a rejection of Americanism, it’s what we fear Americanism to be. It’s our nightmare of the American system. When “Americanism” was a form of cheerful bland official optimism, the gangster used to be destroyed at the end of the movie and our feelings resolved. Now the mood of the whole country has darkened, guiltily; nothing is resolved at the end of “The Godfather,” because the family business goes on.

    Wow, it's nice that that doesn't feel at all relevant in this, the year 2024
