Michael Corleone was not at all happy with the fact Moe Greene threw his brother Fredo a beating on the floor of the Tropigala Casino in Vegas. But even Fredo understood and tried to mend fences acknowledging that Moe had good reason. As Moe told it “Fredo was Bangin’ cocktail waitresses 2 at a time; customers couldn’t get a drink!”
Fredo wasn’t alone. Luke Jackson, aka “Cool Hand Luke” took several beatings at Road Prison 36 and Andy Dufresne was assaulted regularly by “The Sisters” in Shawshank Prison. Strangely it made them feel as if they had some control in their lives. Thousands of beatings are taken daily for thousands of different reasons.
For what cause or reason would you to take a beating?
