Hey, this is a site where movies are critiqued and that's what I did. I gave MY opinion. As far as the mispronunciation of the Italian language is concerned, I guess that is because many Sicilians are of an Arabic background, and many Sicilian words are Arabic, and since Sicily wasn't even part of Italy until the 1800's, I guess that is why they speak the language so poorly. Not to mention the fact that even in the book, Puzo said many of the Sicilians were illiterate. You cannot learn a language properly just by hearing it. I guess Gabbagool is Capicola courtesy of an Arab.
