#or are you normal about sam tommy and the allegory of the saint and the sinner?

[mdemn]

when you think about how sam is always “keeping score” with tom (i.e ‘that make us even now?’) and tom is always telling him how there’s no score to settle, nothing to keep track of, do you also think about how that solidified the fact that salieri taught sam that love is transactional? if you’re not useful, you’re not needed, and if you’re not needed, you’re not loved?

#or are you normal about sam tommy and the allegory of the saint and the sinner? #because like. even with michelle? sam PAYS her to listen to him. the most literal transaction of all #even after she loved him and probably convinced him she didn’t need him to pay her #he’d still ‘forget’ some money behind #sam feels too guilty and unworthy of love and care if he has not earned it through literally blood or money !!!!!!! #sam trapani #tommy angelo #mafia definitive edition #mafia video games #mafia trilogy #mafia the city of lost heaven #post: personal
