We wrote entire essays about how Joe made Nicky laugh while they were being tortured - âBed head?â âNicely tousledâ â so letâs talk about how that genuine smile, reserved only for Joe, vanishes the moment Nicky realizes something heavy is weighing on him.
âParla,â Talk to me he tells him in Italian. And Joe opens up in his vulnerability. Joe- who in the first film is the passionate one, the impulsive one, the fierce and bold one. The one who doesnât seem like the type to open up. But with Nicolò di Genova, itâs a completely different story.
He knows Nicky takes a running start off the Cliffs of Moher and never gives up. He has faith. Nicky will have the right words for him, finding the comfort fear has taken away.
