Scorsese and his ilk have equated the real-world saga of Italian immigration with the mafia mythos — ignoring the mass lynchings, internments and widespread discrimination endured by the scions of Italy in their trek to America.

Just trimming scenes could have cut it by 15 minutes but I'm not complaining. “It’s the American Dream by any means necessary,” proclaims Academy Award winner Depicting Italian Americans as a congenitally violent underclass has morphed into a billion-dollar industry. Like his fellow filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, Scorsese traffics in filmic intolerance. Rather than infringing on the freedom of expression of other directors, Scorsese should more closely scrutinize his own movies-— and the insidious role they have played in the demonization of a people.

Hypocritically, Scorsese has castigated fellow filmmakers, calling Marvel’s superhero movies “theme parks” devoid of “aesthetic, emotional and spiritual revelation.” And Francis Ford Coppola labeled the Marvel cinematic universe “despicable.” Contrary to the luridly intolerant worlds of Scorsese and Coppola, Anthony and Joseph Russo — the directors of the wildly successful Avengers films — have helmed aspirational sagas promoting tolerance, comity and, yes, adventure.

Indeed, Scorsese, Coppola and Co. — including the likes of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, David Chase and Chazz Palminteri — have institutionalized anti-Italian bigotry on the silver screen for nearly half a century. One real-life mobster Palminteri played was Gotti victim Paul Castellano, who, like Chazz, was tall and (relatively) thin. Bumpy Johnson sets his enemies against each other in this exclusive clip from Godfather of Harlem. The tiny state isn’t a hallmark for cinematic settings, but Vault is the exception to that rule. Chazz Palminteri and Robert De Niro attend The Irishman NY Tastemaker at the Whitby Hotel on November 19, 2019 in New York City.
