Tom Hagen User ID: 530832 United States 11/17/2008 05:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | America’s Hidden Power Brokers &The GODFATHER CHARACTER ----- Original Message ----- From: Stan H [ link to www.forward.com] “Supermob: How Sidney Korshak and His Criminal Associates Became America’s Hidden Power Brokers.” and indeed, he allegedly inspired the Tom Hagen character, played by Robert Duvall, in “The Godfather.” (Incidentally, Korshak was instrumental in securing Al Pacino for the film’s title role, as well as in staving off interference from the Mafia and the Italian-American Civil Rights League.) ** Notice ,folks, how the Tom Hagen character becomes a German/Italian, instead of the real life fixer, Jewish Sidney Korshak. In the film , The Godfather, Hyman Roth’s character was inspired by the real life Jewish gangster of the 20th century Meyer Lansky nee Majer Suchowlinski. Michael Collins Piper and his eye opening masterpiece, Final Judgement , points to Lansky’s loss of his casino millions in Castro’s Cuban revolution as a determining factor in the assassination of President JFK. Stan H. BTW, the Godfather films I & II are case studies of how politics works in the U.S. I recently saw the new James Bond film “Quantum of Solace”. It is delicious with Mossad and so-called Russian Oligarch references and non semitic Arabs as bad guys. . |
