Considering the American Dream, Cantor reflects on why “a country which promises freedom can’t guarantee that freedom won’t be misused.” What do The Godfather movies teach us about ethnic identity, immigration, and the American Dream? Kristol and Cantor discuss. Is the protagonist of Breaking Bad, Walter White, a tragic hero reminiscent of other tragic heroes in Western culture? Cantor shares his perspective.
