54. Yes...I grew up in the '70s

and remember seeing "The Godfather" and Sonny's death at the toll booth. It really didn't bother me a lot, mainly because I knew it was a movie and that James Caan was alive and acting in other movies.

However, a few years later (maybe around 1979) I remember when the Sandinistas were close to overthrowing Somoza, there was a clip I saw on the nightly news that showed an American reporter (I think he was with ABC) being made to lay down on his stomach in the street by one of Somoza's National Guard. The reporter completely cooperated, kneeling with his hands up before getting face-down on the street. The soldier stood over him, pointed his machine gun at the reporter's head and shot him dead.

That haunted me for days (it still bothers me to think of it, actually).

I can still watch "The Godfather" and enjoy it as one of my favorite movies. I really don't want to see that reporter getting shot again.
