The film felt dark because it showed family loyalty as a prison, xu—a truth I understood in my own quiet service. And Al Pacino nearly missed his role as Michael, which is a wonder, for the best castings are often quiet accidents, like my promotion coming only after decades. I saw it in Guwahati in '72, and its shadows reminded me not of crime, but of the dim government office corridors I walked, where our own quiet bargains were made.
