Will definitely check the movie out though!

sure, if you wanna get anthropological the movie is about the camorra (rhymes with gomorra), but few people know that word; whereas the word mafia is now english (and part of other languages as well) so one can say stuff like russian mafia or mexican mafia or gay mafia or swedish house mafia, and generally communicate
but yes this is not about sicilian incursions into naples (though the two used to be the kingdom of two sicilies, and all sicily way before). this is about just naples and caserta.
the movie is great! just watch it. like a bunch of episodes of the wire jammed into 2 hours.
