** ''[[Goodfellas]]'' and ''[[Casino]]'' could be [[Deconstruction|deconstructions]] of this kind of portrayal.
** For that matter, ''Godfather Part II'' was a pretty thorough [[Deconstruction]] of the notion of Mafioso-as-hero. {{spoiler|Vito never chose to be a gangster, but was forced into it and never wanted his sons to follow him. Michael's criminal actions cost him his family. At the end of the first movie it's possible to see Michael Corleone as a hero: by the end of the second he's merely a ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|coglione]]''.}}
* ''
** [[Word of God|Word of]] [[Frank Miller|God]] is that a lot of that is in-universe propaganda, due to the [[Unreliable Narrator]].
** There's also the pederasty and slavery : the latter is not mentioned at all, and the Spartans ''mock'' the Athenians for their practice of pederasty, which existed in Sparta at the time as well.
