the images.The opening of the video shows a group of formally dressed men walking down the street, seemingly involved in some sort of formal event, foreshadowing the solemn and organized nature of the story.The camera then pans to a man lying asleep on the floor, suggesting that there are two sides of the story where peace and conflict coexist.Multiple clips in the video depict the inner workings of the mafia, including men in towels and men with severe facial expressions, in scenes that emphasize the atmosphere of violence and tension within the organization.The subtitle refers to "the inner workings of the most violent organization outside the criminal paradigm", further revealing the secrets of the Mafia and its nature as a criminal organization.As the video progresses, the images and subtitles begin to explore the importance of drugs to the mafia and how their criminal activities have influenced crime patterns around the globe.The video also features scenes from the construction site, where people join forces to lift heavy objects, symbolizing that the mafia is not only involved in violent crime, but also in legitimate economic activity, showing its complex social role.The video about the world's criminals in the 1950s deepens the viewer's perception of the violence and secrecy behind the Mafia with images of a nighttime parking lot and a man holding a gun to the camera.Documentary footage from Al Jazeera, in particular, provides a more specific perspective on the influence and functioning of the Mafia on the island, emphasizing its silent and secretive nature.The video also reflects the great social and economic differences between the north and south of Italy and the impact of industrialization on the social fabric through a series of contrasting scenes, such as farmers digging up their fields, high buildings in the cities, and people moving collectively in public spaces.These scenes are interwoven with the story of the Mafia and show how this criminal organization has found its place in a changing society.Finally, the video mentions the experiences of Italian immigrants in the United States, including the language barriers they faced, social exclusion, and how they eventually integrated into American society by accepting the most dangerous jobs, while some were also involved in Mafia activities.They not only enrich the historical context of the Mafia, but also explore the complex relationship between crime and immigration and social integration.Through rich visual and textual information throughout, the video builds a multi-layered narrative about the Mafia and its influence, not only showing its side as a criminal organization, but also revealing its role in history and social change.[00:10:00->00:20:00] The video screen switches to a group of formally dressed men riding through narrow streets as if it were a solemn parade or walk, with background music adding a nostalgic atmosphere.Next, the camera pans to a man sitting in front of a bookshelf, his glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, and he is talking eloquently to the camera, seemingly discussing something to do with books, as the subtitles suggest that here it is about a criminal trade organization that controls agriculture and public safety, which reveals the socially controlling side of the Mafia.The scene shifts again to a group of men in hats standing in a line talking at what appears to be a formal gathering or business meeting, and the caption suggests that these men dominate the transportation department's cooperation with the police, and even at times dominate police operations to protect private property and land.This further demonstrates how the Mafia has consolidated its position in society by using both legal and illegal means.The video then shows an older man in a pink shirt sitting in a room talking to the camera, with subtitles referring to how members of the mafia or the wealthy middle class use violence to seize land, even without fear of confrontation with the authorities.This passage emphasizes the toughness and ruthlessness within the Mafia and their determination to do whatever it takes to protect their interests.The video then shows an old man in a white shirt sitting in a room talking to the camera, seemingly telling a story about himself or someone else.The subtitle mentions that the mafia or the rich middle class does not hesitate to use violence, and even the central government is not exempted, which shows the depth of the mafia's influence at the political and social level.The video continues to progress, showing a series of black-and-white scenes, including a man in a hat and coat smoking in the street and a group of men talking in the street, which further deepen the viewer's understanding of Mafia activity and the social context of the early 20th century.Then a man in a cap and gown stands in front of the camera, seemingly posing for a portrait, and the caption mentions how Mussolini's government attempted to suppress the Mafia but ultimately failed because of a hardline figure named Cesare Mori.The video also includes a segment on the Fascist government's attack on the Mafia, showing the tension between the Italian government and the Mafia at the time.Mayor Murray, known as the "Iron Mayor," is prominently portrayed as a ruthless fighter against the Mafia, but ultimately fails to eradicate the organization.As the story progresses, the video shifts to the development of the Mafia in the United States.The footage shows hundreds of Mafia members claiming to be victims of the fascist regime and then quickly integrating into the Little Italy community as members of the criminal world.In particular, the implementation of Prohibition brought huge profits to the Mafia, making them a major force in controlling the supply of alcohol on the black market.In the wake of Prohibition, the video depicts a time of conflict and violence, where the flow of money sparked fierce competition for wealth and the streets of Little Italy were filled with bloody wars.Two leaders, Mazen and Maya, stood out during this period, and by forging alliances with rival gangs and betraying their chiefs, they finally put an end to a long and bloody conflict that marked the change of power between the old and the new.At the end of the video, a young man's face appears on the screen as young Salvatore Lucia, and the caption mentions that he came to New York when he was nine years old and eventually became an important figure in the Mafia.This passage not only demonstrates the transition between old and new within the Mafia, but also foreshadows the role the Mafia may play in broader social change in the future.[00:20:00->00:30:00] The scene in the video switches to a group of well-dressed, hooded men walking slowly down a staircase, their steps appearing dignified and rhythmic, as if they are attending an important ceremony.The caption at the top of the screen explains their behavioral approach, arguing that "the best way to run a business is to be at peace and decide to adopt the Italian rules that apply to Italy or the Blood League."This hints at the calmness and sense of rules with which members of the Mafia conduct their affairs, while also emphasizing their respect for tradition and culture.The scene then shifts to an older man in a red jacket, sitting alone in a room, who appears to be talking to someone, but the camera does not catch the other person.The subtitles reveal the development of the Mafia in the United States, emphasizing that "the New American Mafia stays organized at all costs, for the organization, and the individual price is not included."This shows that Mafia members are loyal to the organization far more than their personal interests, and that they are willing to give everything for the goals of the organization.The video then shows a group of children playing in the street, their laughter contrasting with the seriousness of the previous paragraph.The subtitle refers to "the birth of the worldwide Italian-American Mafia under the name 'Our King,'" which signals the internationalization of the Mafia and their growing influence on a global scale.In another scene, a group of formally dressed men gather in a room where a man in a hat appears to be in a leadership position as they conduct a secret meeting.The caption explains that "'The Law of Silence' was Luciano's main goal in establishing 'Our King,'" revealing the strict secrecy within the Mafia and Luciano's position at the central position in the organization.The video then switches to a busy city street with people and vehicles weaving in and out, creating a vibrant picture of the city.The caption continues with "A committee composed of representatives of families from every major city in the United States, whose membership includes about five families from every major city in the United States, with the five strongest families located in New York."This suggests that the Mafia has a well-established organizational structure and that they have built a strong network in several cities, with New York at the heart of this network.The next shot in the video shows several important families of the Italian-American Mafia, such as Genovese, Gambino, Bonanno and Colombo, and the caption mentions that "for the next two years, there will be no war in the Mafia."This reflects the temporary peace within the Mafia and their planning and strategic adjustments for the future.An old man in a red shirt reappears in front of the camera as he recounts the history and tactics of the Mafia.The subtitle refers to "the embargo as the Mafia's biggest source of income" and emphasizes that "Luciano was a Mafia genius who decided to diversify the organization's operations".This shows that the Mafia has not only achieved great success in the traditional criminal field, but also enhanced the stability and adaptability of the organization through diversification.At the end of the video, a young man in a black-and-white photograph is introduced as young Salvatore Lucia, whose story not only demonstrates the turnover of old and new within the Mafia, but also foreshadows the important role that the Mafia may play in social change in the future.The scene fades out and the soundtrack ends slowly, leaving the viewer with deep thoughts about this complex criminal organization.[00:30:00->00:40:00] The video gradually shifts from old-fashioned airplane takeoffs to a set of old black-and-white photographs showing a single plane lined up in the sky, creating a nostalgic and solemn atmosphere.With the subtitle "He gave instructions to stop work and things went well", it is implied that the decision of a key person has a significant impact on the development.The video then switches to footage of the restoration of security at the New York harbor, with shots of ships moving slowly across the sea and soldiers in uniform, standing on the decks as if preparing for an upcoming battle.The caption "What happened after security was restored to New York Harbor? After restoring security to New York Harbor, the U.S. military focused on the Allied landings in the following areas" reveals the next steps in military operations and the strategic realignment of the U.S. military.The scene then shifts to a group of soldiers on a beach preparing to board a ship, armed and with serious expressions as they prepare for the coming challenge.The video caption, "On 10/7/43, the Allies invaded the Sicilian coast," specifies the exact time of this historical event and emphasizes the importance of the Allies' actions in World War II.The next shot shows soldiers carrying the wounded along a waterway and the Allies taking control of Sakil in 38 days, with the caption "On 10 July 43, the Allies took control of Sakil in 38 days" further emphasizing the scale and efficiency of the operation.The video also features a black-and-white photo of a man sitting on a throne wearing a crown, with the caption "This is the first step towards victory, which has not yet been achieved" suggesting that, despite initial successes, the war is not yet over.The scene then shifts to a group of men in military uniforms and hats standing in front of a building discussing the situation, one of them smoking a cigarette and appearing to be planning their next move.Subtitle "This is the first step towards a victory that has yet to be realized.The "two-year conflict ended in '64," which points to the timeline of the conflict and the eventual arrival of peace.The video continues to show Luciano's return, showing a group of people in old-fashioned clothing entering an ancient automobile, with the caption, "But Luciano's return to Italy is conditional on one thing: he cannot return to the United States," revealing the agreement between Luciano and the U.S. government.The camera then pans to a group of soldiers driving a tank in the desert, and the caption "He not only saved the Navy, he helped invade Sakkar" re-emphasizes Luciano's contribution to the military operation.The final part of the video shows a group of soldiers marching through the streets and a group of uniformed men waving flags during a parade, with the caption, "We have also found in the public archives that U.S. generals are in contact with the Cosa Nostra," revealing a secret collaboration between the U.S. military and the mafia.The video also shows the popularity of Frank Sinatra and the connection between his music career and the Mafia, with the caption "Frank Sinatra is very popular ...... therefore his image is linked to the Mafia!

the Senate established a committee to investigate the role of organized crime in the affairs of the nation," marking the U.S. government's formal investigation of the Mafia.The courtroom scene in the video shows Mafia members invoking the Fifth Amendment and refusing to testify when subpoenaed, and the caption, "Most Mafia members and their leaders have little recourse to the Fifth Amendment when they are called before it," reveals the Mafia members' coping strategies when confronted with the law.Through this series of images and subtitles, the video not only depicts Allied military operations in World War II, but also delves into the historical impact of the Mafia in the U.S. and Italy, as well as its relationship with the government and society, presenting viewers with a complex and multi-faceted historical picture.[00:40:00->00:50:00] The video clip shows a well-dressed man sitting at a table with a pen in his hand, seemingly writing something carefully.His expression was serious and his surroundings appeared formal, suggesting that he was in the middle of an important endeavor.The subtitles explain the context of the scene - evidence of Mafia action has not been able to surface due to John's stubbornness.FBI Director Edgar Hoover's denial of the existence of the Mafia, a stubbornness that hampered the investigation of the Mafia, put the Commission's investigation in jeopardy.The next scene shows a group of stylishly dressed men walking down the street, wearing hats and well-dressed as if they were in some bustling city in the 1920s or 1930s.The caption goes on to explain that Hoover's denialism allowed the Cos Nostra (American Mafia) to expand its illegal operations more freely, including syndicates and loan-sharking, which were becoming extraordinarily prosperous at the time.The video then switches to a group of people in a car who appear relaxed, laughing and enjoying each other's company.The subtitle notes that, despite the great success of the mafia in several illegal areas such as syndicates, usury and the drug trade, these activities have not been effectively sanctioned by law, further consolidating their position in the underground economy.Immediately afterward, the scene shifts to a black-and-white scene of a group of people standing in front of a car, dressed in vintage clothing, revealing an old-timey atmosphere.The subtitle mentions that, despite being in exile, Luciano remains active and has established his own drug-trading network, showing that, even in difficult circumstances, Mafia leaders can find new ways to maintain and grow their power.The next narrator in the video is a gray-haired old man in a red shirt who stands in the room and speaks eloquently to the camera.He mentioned 1957 as an important year for the American Mafia, especially the New York Mafia.That year, the U.S. Congress passed a law aimed at cracking down on the drug trade, which left the mafia looking for new solutions.The subtitle further explains that in response to this challenge, Lucky Lucian gathered about 30 mafia bosses for a meeting at the De Palm Hotel in Palermo, aimed at reorganizing the drug trade and ensuring that risks are limited to specific segments.The video then shows a busy street with a steady stream of vehicles and pedestrians, with a prominent building in the background.The subtitle explains that the purpose of the meeting was to reorganize the drug trade and to make the activities of the Mafia more organized and efficient.The meeting was held at the De Palm Hotel in Palermo, where mafia bosses discussed how to expand profits while reducing risks through new trade models.The next scene shows a group of men sitting around a table, seemingly enjoying a nice dinner.The subtitle explains that the purpose of the meeting was not only to adjust trade strategies, but also to deal with internal disputes.Lucky Lucian asked for the model he had devised for the Mafia 30 years earlier, a committee to replace the jury, handle internal matters, and ensure the stability and efficient operation of the organization.The video continues to progress, showing a group of men sitting at a table playing cards, looking relaxed and enjoying each other's company.The subtitle mentions that the Mafia has rebuilt its organization through the use of violence - the only language they understand - showing that despite external pressures, the Mafia has been able to maintain its internal order through strong-arm tactics.Finally, the video shows several symbolic scenes, including a distant cruise ship, a man playing ball with a barrel, and a pair of embracing statues.The subtitle mentions that Palermo's alliance with the United States changed the future of the mafia, and that they began to manage the drug trade more systematically to increase their income.The era of the rural mafia gradually shifted to urban investments, and the mafia began to enter new product areas, further expanding its economic reach.Together, these images and subtitles build a story of how the Mafia responded to external challenges, adapted its strategies, and continued to expand in the mid-20th century, demonstrating the criminal organization's adaptability and resilience in the face of social change.[00:50:00->01:00:00] The video gradually switches to show a set of black-and-white clips of a man in a white shirt standing side-by-side with a police officer, revealing a stark atmosphere.The subtitles reveal the identity of the man - Jed Gaspari Morrow - who was a member of the Mafia in the early 1970s and confessed to 20 murders.Jed's words are filled with deep reflections on the behavior of the Mafia, and his words are not only a confession of his past, but also a revelation of the nature of the Mafia.Next, the video shows a young boy riding a bicycle on a dry road, looking relaxed in the sun.The subtitle emphasizes that, although the mafia tries to hide its essence through a facade of decency, at its core it remains a criminal organization that maintains order through violence and intimidation.This image contrasts with the previous passage and highlights the threat that the mafia poses to the peace and tranquility of society.The video then switches to a narrow alleyway, desolate and deserted between two old buildings.The subtitles re-emphasize the dual nature of the Mafia, whose violent nature remains unchanged despite its attempts to earn respect through certain decent behaviors.This scene deepens the audience's understanding of the Mafia's methods of suppressing dissent through the depiction of the environment.Next, the video shows a panoramic view of the Washington Monument, surrounded by trees and sunny.The subtitles continue to emphasize the dual nature of the Mafia, a criminal organization that, even in the light of day, still operates in the shadows with many unseen underbelly.This scene further reinforces the complexity and danger of the mafia by contrasting the harmony of the natural landscape with the gloom of the mafia.The video then shows a group of people walking towards the entrance of a building, their pace firm and rhythmic, as if they were attending an important meeting or ceremony.The subtitle refers to "her way", and while the exact meaning is unclear, it may refer to some kind of tradition or rule within the mafia.This scene shows the discipline and organization among the members of the Mafia through the portrayal of group actions.The video shows a man in a jacket standing in front of a building, talking on a cell phone and appearing to be in a hurry.The subtitle refers to "her way", possibly suggesting the efficiency and swiftness of decision-making in how the Mafia conducts its affairs.This scene reflects, through the behavior of the individual, the mafia's ability to react quickly in the face of an emergency.In the next clip, an elderly man in a red shirt sits in a room and tells the camera about the historical event of Cady (i.e., JFK) being elected President and appointing his brother Robert as Attorney General.The caption emphasizes Robert's first major investigation of the Mafia during his tenure as Attorney General and how that investigation compelled the FBI to take action.This passage not only reveals the concern of the political hierarchy for the mafia, but also demonstrates the government's efforts to combat organized crime.The video then shows several symbolic scenes, including a distant cruise ship, a man playing ball with a barrel, and a pair of embracing statues.The subtitle mentions that Palermo's alliance with the United States changed the future of the mafia, and that they began to manage the drug trade more systematically to increase their income.These scenes show the adaptability and resilience of the Mafia in the face of social change through symbolic depictions.Through a series of carefully selected images and subtitles throughout, the video not only depicts the complexity and multifaceted nature of the Mafia, but also explores its role in history and social change.Together, these scenes and subtitles build a multi-layered narrative about the Mafia, allowing viewers to more fully understand the nature and impact of this criminal organization.[01:00:00->01:10:00] The video gradually switches to a man carefully using splinters to cut through a plastic bag, his movements appearing to be extra cautious, as if he's handling some kind of dangerous object.The subtitle explains that, thanks to the oligopoly of the American market, the Mafia reached the peak of its power in the mid-1970s, and that the immense wealth gained from these illegal gains served as a powerful backbone for them.Immediately afterward, the video shows a close-up view of the white powdery substance, which apparently has an unusual purpose.The caption further notes that in the mid-1970s, the Mafia not only became an oligarchy, but one of its core members, Gaetano Badaletti, reached the height of his personal power during this period and became one of the most important leaders of the New Cause.The scene then switches to a black-and-white portrait of Gaetano Badaletti, fully dressed, with a serious expression, looking directly at the camera as if telling the viewer about his complicated and dark past.The subtitle adds that, as one of the leaders of Coz Nostra, he controls the village of Senesi, where the airport is located, a geographical advantage that gives him great leverage in the drug trade.The video shows a view from the air traffic control tower of the plane taxiing down the runway, and the conversation between the air traffic controller and the pilot is clearly audible.The subtitle emphasizes that Badaletti used his control over the village of Senesi to turn Palermo airport into an ideal location for organizing trade, especially in drug shipments.Next, the scene shifts to a woman sitting on a couch, wearing a green dress and several earrings in her ears, who seems to be telling the camera something.Subtitles reveal that the Mafia's control of a particular area not only provides them with protection, but also allows them to avoid the law.They can appoint their own people to important positions and thus have a more solid grip on the situation.The video then shows a man in a black balaclava walking around the room, with a serious expression on his face, seemingly observing his surroundings warily.The caption mentions that this control allows them to carry large quantities of drugs at airports without fear of being discovered by the authorities, who see drugs as a badge of honor, while the authorities are more concerned with searches for weapons.The video further shows scenes of clothed men pointing guns at a car, which the caption explains reflects society's fear and powerlessness of the Mafia at the time.The scene then switches to men in glasses and white shirts sitting in a room surrounded by bookshelves, and the credits mention that in 1979, Sicilian narcotics investigators began to raise their heads as they were suspected of smuggling and refining heroin, culminating in a joint investigation with the FBI, with the assistance of Sakor.The video shows a commercial airplane taking off from the runway with the sound of its engine clearly audible, and the caption mentions that this marks the beginning of the investigation.The footage then shows a group of people waiting in front of the building, and the caption adds that these investigations eventually led to a series of important discoveries.In the last part of the video, which shows the assassination of Boles Giuliano on July 11, 1979, the subtitles emphasize the fact that, despite the government's increased efforts to fight organized crime, the Mafia is still powerful and able to assassinate even those who threaten their interests.The video ends with an image of a crowd standing in front of an apartment building, and the caption mentions that, despite a lot of progress, the mafia problem is far from being solved and new challenges still await law enforcement agencies.[01:10:00->01:20:00] In the video, a man wearing glasses sits in front of the camera with a serious look on his face and begins to recount the events of the day.He mentions that Carmine Gallant was executed by the Mafia in a typical Mafia-style murder in a Brooklyn cafe.The scene then switches to a man lying on the floor with a knife stuck in his chest, blood pouring out and a pained expression that is clearly beyond saving.This scene is shocking and highlights the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Mafia.Next, the video shows a man getting up from a chair and simply walking a few steps.This scene is simple, but the subtitles tell us that the executed Carmine Garang was the top man in the Brooklyn mafia, and that the murder was clearly not an ordinary crime, but the result of a power struggle.The caption further explains that Carmine Garang was the highest-ranking member of the criminal organization and that his death signals a major change within the Mafia.The video then shows a black-and-white photo of the man standing in front of the car, wearing a shirt and a towel.The credits mention Donnie Brasco, an FBI agent who has been undercover inside the Mafia for years.He was eventually withdrawn by the FBI before the initiation ceremony because he feared for his life.This passage reveals the complex struggle between the FBI and the Mafia, and the enormous risks undercover agents face in carrying out their missions.The video continues to progress, showing a man wearing sunglasses sitting in a room, talking to the camera.He mentions that he was given two kill assignments in the mafia, but was unable to complete them, so he asked to complete at least one.This passage not only reveals the way tasks are assigned within the Mafia, but also reflects the psychological pressures involved in carrying out these tasks.Next, the video features a Mafia member, Adina Lefty Ruggero, who was Donnie Brasco's partner in the Bonanno family.The caption mentions that Ruggero's boss, Sonny Black Napolitano, was cooperating with the FBI, which ultimately led to Napolitano's arrest and murder.This episode further demonstrates the complex relationship between betrayal and loyalty within the Mafia.The video also features a bird's eye view shot of a city from an airplane, showing the city's architecture and surrounding landscape.The subtitle refers to the FBI's cooperation with the Italian authorities and the ongoing tracking of the Mafia.This scene symbolizes, through its broad perspective, that the mafia's reach is not limited to a single city or country, but extends globally like an octopus.The last part of the video shows a group of people in old costumes walking through the narrow streets of the town, which are surrounded by old buildings.The subtitles refer to the Corleone family, which comes from the village of Corleone, 50 kilometers from Palermo, and has long been an important Mafia stronghold.This passage deepens the viewer's understanding of the roots and culture of the Mafia through historical contextualization.Through a series of well-designed images and subtitles, the entire video not only depicts the specific events of Carmine Garang's execution, but also delves into the inner workings of the Mafia, the hardships of undercover operatives, and the long-running struggle between the Mafia and the government.Together, these elements build a multi-layered, compelling story that gives viewers a deeper understanding of the complexity and multifaceted nature of the Mafia.[01:20:00->01:30:00] The video's frame switches to a man standing in front of a mirror, dressed in clothes and a towel, seemingly examining his own reflection.His expression appeared pensive, as if he was deep in thought.The subtitles of the video mention two important figures of the mafia - Ahliya Kill the Beast and Torina - who work together to fight against the mafia and other threateners.This subtitle emphasizes the complexity of the struggle within the Mafia and against external threats.Next, the scene shifts to a man riding a bicycle in the street.He was wearing a helmet and seemed to be enjoying the freedom and relaxation that comes with riding.Despite the seeming calmness of this scene, the credits again mention Ahliya killing the monster and Turina from the mafia and other threats, emphasizing that even beneath the seemingly calm surface, the shadow of the mafia remains, affecting everyone's lives.The video then shows a sleek parking lot with cars neatly arranged and a building in the background.The credits for this scene refer to "his empire," suggesting the wealth and power that Mafia members have amassed through legal and illegal means.The soundtrack adds to the tension of the scene, reflecting the complexity of the Mafia empire and its impact on society.Immediately afterward, the scene switches to a man in a dress walking into an office and opening the door to a room with a desk and chair.The subtitles mention that the judges live in locked bunkers for protection, but their isolation is not just physical.This passage reveals how the threat of the mafia penetrates deep into the judicial system, where judges face not only physical security threats but also the psychological pressure of isolation.The video shows an elderly man sitting in a room talking to a camera, wearing a white shirt and looking healthy.He mentions the lack of government support for efforts to combat the mafia, a passage that further emphasizes the lack of government support in the fight against organized crime and how the mafia has taken advantage of this to consolidate its position.The scene then shows a man standing at an office desk who appears to be in charge of the office.The subtitle refers to the tacit agreement between the Mafia and the police, whereby neither side reveals the other's crimes to the FBI or other official agencies, a passage that reveals the complex relationship between the Mafia and law enforcement agencies and how this tacit agreement prevents justice from being served.The video continues to progress, showing bird's eye view footage of the city, looking at the buildings and surrounding landscape from above.The subtitles refer to the forced flight of Palermo's mob, a scene that demonstrates, through a broad perspective, the mafia's ability to react and adapt to social pressures.Finally, the video shows a group of people walking along a city street lined with parked cars as people seem to be going about their daily activities.The subtitles refer to these refugees taking refuge with their families in various states in the United States, reflecting how members of the Mafia seek asylum in different places through family networks, while also demonstrating their hidden presence in American society.Together, this series of images and subtitles build the story of the Mafia's adaptation and expansion in the face of social change, demonstrating the complexity and multifaceted nature of this criminal organization.[01:30:00->01:40:00] The video begins with a scene of a group of men standing in a prison; their conversation is unclear, but the subtitles reveal what they are discussing.A man in a white shirt sits in a room filled with electronic equipment and smiles as he speaks to the camera, and the caption refers to "Butta Sade's entry," emphasizing the respect for a still-feared member of the Mafia.Next, the video switches to a courtroom scene with the judge presiding over the proceedings in front of a microphone and people in the room listening intently.The subtitle describes a Mafia member's reflection on his past behavior, as he expresses his disapproval of the organization's principles while pointing out how the organization has changed in the present.These conversations reveal internal divisions within the Mafia and members' differing views on the future of the organization.The video then shows a classroom scene with people taking notes in their notebooks as subtitles repeat a discussion of changes within the Mafia.Next, an old man sits alone in prison, and the caption mentions that he has been sentenced to 2,650 years of imprisonment, about 26 centuries, an extreme sentence that reflects the severity of the law's punishment of Mafia members.The next image in the video is of an old man in a chair talking to the camera, he is wearing a white shirt and the caption mentions the effect of music and age on him.This passage is told through the eyes of an individual, as a member of the Mafia reflects on the past and looks to the future in his later years.The video then shows a building with a roof and a clock tower with someone standing in front of it, and the caption mentions that bloodthirsty godfather Tutina was sentenced in absentia but remains free.This scene suggests, through the symbolism of the building, that members of the Mafia can somehow escape justice even if they are subject to the law.The video continues to progress, showing a view of the Brooklyn Bridge, with subtitles referring to unrepentant ex-godfather Bucheta traveling to New York to use a pizza parlor as a cover for drug smuggling.This passage reveals how members of the Mafia operate in the United States and how they use legitimate business to cover up illegal behavior.The video also includes a segment on the arrests revealed by the United Nations, showing the scale of the heroin trade and the transnational operations of the mafia.The caption mentions that 14 of the 16 defendants were convicted and that the operation generated $1.5 billion, a figure that reflects the economic power of the mafia.The next clip shows how the Mafia members behave in the courtroom, and the subtitles mention that they maintain an arrogant attitude even when they are on trial, which reflects the arrogance of the Mafia members and their disdain for the law.The final part of the video shows the daily lives of Mafia members, including walking in the streets and dancing in nightclubs, with subtitles referring to the void world after the destruction of Donnie Brasco and the Bonanza family.This series of scenes shows the dual identity of the mafia members in society through the depiction of their daily lives and the different facets of their public and private lives.Through a series of well-designed images and subtitles, the entire video not only depicts the specific behaviors of Mafia members, but also delves into the internal conflicts of the Mafia, the reflections and transformations of its members, and their complex roles in society.Together, these elements build a multi-layered, compelling story that gives viewers a deeper understanding of the complexity and multifaceted nature of the Mafia.[01:40:00->01:50:00] The video's footage begins in a brightly lit room with a piano in the background, and an elderly man in a white shirt sitting alone in the room, seemingly playing the piano.No other person or object was visible in the room, and the old man's demeanor appeared calm, as if he were remembering years gone by.The subtitles mention that the chaos at the airport is more like an arena, reflecting the fierce struggle for survival and power that the members of the Mafia are engaged in.The old man in the picture seems to have a deep experience of this struggle, and his playing may be some kind of meditation on this history.The video then switches to nighttime, where a group of people holding candles walk slowly through the streets, their facial expressions revealing seriousness and determination, as if they are engaged in some sort of protest.The subtitle repeats what has gone before, expressing the shock of a man named Giovanni at his colleague's injuries, and
