‘Men who would never dream of breaking a law in their lives have watched these obsessively. Some of them dozens of times.’ Nah, they’re dreaming about, it’s why they are obsessed with it, they might never do it or not know how to access that part of themselves, but the dream about it, they sometimes probably wish they could ‘pay someone back’ like that, force someone who they feel wronged them to honor the ‘omertà’ or receive the consequences of the ‘reglas’, so I think that is the attraction for most people, especially men, since it is a very chauvinistic realm of operation…

“the gangster symbolises the version of themselves they'd unleash if the rules disappeared.“. Yep. Great article. Thanks.
Men love gangsters because of their strength in the face of fear. That’s what makes us feel our power.
I enjoyed this!
Well, because “Damn it feels good to be a gangster”
Great article like usual! 👏🏻
