"You can act like a man! (slap to Johnny's face)... What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood finocchio that ah cries like a woman? What can I do?! What can I do? What is that nonsense? Ridiculous... You spend time with your family? Good. 'Cause a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."
Vito Corleone, played by Marlon Brando (1924-2004)
Perhaps intended more for entertainment than wise counsel. That is, amid early 1970s' fads and trends to emotionally express even rant while blaming parents and society for one's adult choices, as encouraged by daytime talk show psychologists promoting their latest paperback of nonsense.
"Nonsense?" one would question. Judge and compare the psychological as well educational, social, political encouragement then and since to today's adolescent behaviors among adults of all ages of all professions. Astonishingly pathetic! As Jordan Peterson would suggest more professionally without the expletive, clean your goddamn room and grow up.
