[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is everybody getting the idea that this was a Mafia family?  Yes they were unruly and intimidating and Will said they were not good people, but kind of a jump to say for sure they were Mafia. Maybe they were just from Queens and kind of overran the town because their family had been there forever. [/quote]

Thank you, I was starting to feel crazy. They were just a big, loud family with several very aggressive, forceful personalities. There was no mafia activity in the movie so I don’t understand where people are getting this.[/quote]

It was heavily implied. Why else would all the people on this island kowtow to these obnoxious outsiders?

Will tells Leda she can't refuse anymore requests from the family because they aren't good people. Reference is made to Nina's husband's "investments." The men were all creepy and threatening for almost no reason. The patriarch shuts down the obnoxious behavior of the boys. I feel like the fact that this family was very shady was telegraphed throughout the movie.

All that said, I feel like it was a subplot that could have been dropped or scaled back in light of the fact that [b]Leda was remade to be from a poor British family instead of an Italian mafia family.[/b][/quote]

Was she entirely though? When she is speaking with the aunt the aunt asks her where "her people" are from, seemingly asking for more background beyond wherever in the UK she said (Leeds?). We know she speaks Italian and she says her name is Leda Caruso. There's some Italian connection there but I didn't really understand what it was. [/quote]
