Mario Puzo said he wanted Vito be a "mustached Pete", a peasant. Brando said he should resemble a CEO of General Motors. After watching Brando, Puzo admitted Brando was correct.
@@ricardocantoral7672 That's interesting. Brando had an incredible understanding of characters, which is probably why he was so good at improvising throughout his career
I love how Vito was there obviously to buy time but more than anything analyze the room and know WHO really was behind it all. Barzini. Such a beautiful movie
When he said “if he’s struck by a bolt of lightning” he escalated the entire monologue without a change in volume or cadence. A “fuck around and find out” moment decades before we knew what to call it.
@@MegaThucydidesBarzini was at the head because it was on his turf, and he was mediating, as Vito mentioned earlier. His seat was not in anyway interpreted as his being at the head of the group by anyone. Vito read the room and realized it was Barzini because he noticed he wasn’t being very impartial. He openly blamed Vito for the whole situation.
The only actor from this scene still living, so far as I could verify, is Robert Duvall (and he’s 93 as of this writing). Some absolutely incredible performances here, of course Brando’s most of all.
So Shakesperian. Tattaglia is right, there would be vengeance. Many of them would be killed. Not by the Don and his swearing on the souls of his "grandchildren" but his son....and there was a warning there too at the end.
@@alex.qb2334 when he speaks of how if his son comes back and people aim to kill him. Which of course they do try. They pay a price. It is inference. He swears on his grandchildren, not his direct line. Tattaglia misses that.
@@alex.qb2334 Yes as gab99 pointed out. The key line is when he said "I am a suspicious man". He knew if ANYTHING happened to Michael upon coming back & facing charges (including 'struck by a bolt of lightening'), it would be no coincidence.

No it was when Barzini said “refusal is not the act of a friend..if Don corleone has politicians in his pocket then he must share them, he must let us draw from the well, certainly he can produce a bill for such services”
Barzini is obviously very powerful, that look doesn't mean anything. It just means that Barzini is running the meeting. Which everybody understands. He's sitting at the head of the table.
@@dailystriver2727that doesn't prove barzini was trying to take out corleone. It just means that he is in favor of running the drugs too. As are most of them.

"I forgo [or forego] the vengeance of my son." That is to say, I give up the right or intention to pursue that. Not "I forgot", which would mean "I just failed to remember to take vengeance for my son." As in the video title right now.
@@tomhamilton5261there was a deleted scene from that part near the end Michael tells his father he kept his word he wouldn’t swear vengeance. But Michael told him he never gave them the word.
@@jondstewart this makes sense as when Don Corleone swears on the souls of his Grandchildren he won’t be the one to break the peace but it’s the only way he can buy time to bring Michael out of exile from Sicily. Going on the book , Michael tells Don Tomassino that he wants a message sent to The Godfather that he wishes to be his father’s son. It looks as if The Don knew that Michael would be capable of ruthlessness for The Family to survive and destroy its enemies.
@@leobthelionshow I think the implication is that it was Vito's plan all along. Make 'peace', refuse to seek immediate revenge for Sonny, provided they allow Michael to return and remain unharmed. Then train Michael up for the role of Boss, and have him take the revenge after Vito's death.
Different levels of negotiation going on at the same time in this room: Vito talking to Tataglia about a personal dispute, but to Barzini about the big picture (the drug trade). Both Tataglia and Vito stop listening when the lower level capo tries to speak (notice how Tataglia turns to his second at that same time) to show their disinterest in mediocre street game, and finally, Vito addressing the whole room to remind the animals that adults have made peace and chaos will not be tolerated.
Vito talks about keeping Micheal safe, but not one mention of Fredo's safety. He felt certain the rest of the families saw him as a non-combatant. Shows how his low opinion of Fredo is and how far he was kept removed from the Olive Oil business.
Michael was the one who killed solazzo and the police captain, which is why he fled to Sicily. The families wanted Michael dead, they didn't care about Fredo.
This is a NY thing, East coast thing. What they have in Nevada *NOBODY* is ever going to risk screwing up for *EVERYBODY* . It wasn’t just their greatest racket, it was the greatest money laundering operation, probably in US if not world history. So this issue is not going to spread to Nevada, it’s mob sanctuary. Until what happened in Casino, some stupid fool mob man and arrogant bookie brought heat and it was just another pillar of the case that brought them down and they lost it all. (Well, they sold to corpos, and not all of Casino is accurate but it’s close)
Don corleone knew it was Don Barzini all along when he said “refusal is not the act of a friend..if Don corleone has politicians in his pocket then he must share them, he must let us draw from the well, certainly he can produce a bill for such services”
Incorrect, Vito knew it as soon when Barzini began to flatter him outta the blue, the blame just confirmed it. I'm half spanish and italian and this is something to avoid, avoid people that adulates you because those are the first that backstabs you.
I think Vito's comments on getting involved with the drug trade turned out to be prescient. The RICO Act was passed in 1970, signaling the beginning of the end of the Mafia as a serious force, and their involvement in the drug trade was one of the things that really brought them to the federal government's attention.
The very idea of a work meeting where 2 of your coworkers have to explain their motives behind murdering each others children, and then forgo vengeance upon each other so the enterprise can be profitable again is absolutely insane. Imagine your child being gunned down brutally and having to cuddle one of the men behind it so Alf and Fanny at work can get their christmas bonus.
Vito, at least, didn’t go out of his way to make peace for the sake of money. Further escalation would have put Michael in danger, and going to the mattresses was -generally- an unpopular idea, because even in the heyday of the mafia, there was a point where bribery couldn’t save you because the authorities were eventually forced to step in.
It's an overblown representation of crime gangs negotiating business. It was done in an operatic fashion to make the film interesting to watch. It wasn't meant to be a realistic portrayal of the life. Donnie Brasco is a more accurate picture.
one of the best performances ever. i have to remind myself that it is brando playing the character. i don't see brando, i see vito corleone. and i literally mean that. brando completely drops whatever his personal behaviour would be.
He left the last part unsaid: “Upon my death, I shall cleanse everyone in this room who wronged me, through my son. But naturally I can’t reveal the long game. In fact, it’s probably a bad idea for you to allow Michael to return alive.”
Took me a number viewings to finally appreciate how brilliant this scene is. Barzini made a huge mistake when he expressed his desire to take advantage of the politicians Vito had in his pocket.
That point was known when Sollozzo first met Vito. The mistake here is not Barzini but Tattaglia. He's talking to Vito while looking for signal from Barzini. Vito realizes it right away.
When that boss stood up and talked about paying his people extra so they wouldn't get into drugs; when he mentioned about selling drugs to Blacks and called them "animals", you could see a subtle look of utter disgust on both Tom's and Vito's faces.
@@jondstewartBecause that’s Don Zaluchi from Detroit. He wasn’t involved in the New York war. Action was only taken against the New York families. Remember 4 families from other states were represented. Tramonti family (New Orleans) Chicago Outfit (Chicago) Zaluchi family (Detroit) Forlenza family (Cleveland)
@@jaycareaga9929 I appreciate the clarification! I knew he had folks from elsewhere at the meeting. And it looks like the only person outside the NYC area that was a threat was Moe Greene.
After all these years and seeing this scene over and over, only now did I notice he has a bowl of walnuts in front of him, thus adding another layer to the scene in "The Freshman" where Marlon Brando's character, on whom Don Coleone was supposedly based, first meets Matthew Broderick and again has a bowl of walnuts in front of him (ultimately crushing one open with his hand). Well done.
I love how Vito starts by saying he is willing to go back to the way things were. Corleone family on top. Cheeky. Barzini shut him down. The moment Vito knew who was behind Sollozzo.
To be fair though, times were changing. This meeting takes place in 1949-50. Prohibition was long dead, legal gambling in Las Vegas was growing far too fast and the families knew it was too public and lucrative to not attract the corporations, so gambling (illegal or otherwise) wasn't going to last much longer. They had to diversify, and it did made them swathes of cash until the 70s when RICO and the Controlled Substances Act came into being.
So deliberate in his words. He said “I will not be the one to break the peace we’ve made here today.” Not “it won’t be broken.” He’s just pointing out that he won’t be the one to do it.😂
This was Vito’s finest moment…he basically told them what he was going to do…he looked into the eyes of those that his youngest son would avenge…and none of them picked up on it because he presented it in a way that it looked like he was giving up
...that I'll not be the one to break the peace made here today. Listen to that very well and you'll know that this man knows that peace is gonna break anytime soon, and it's going to be one of his that breaks it. Classic!
Yes. Occasionally a piece of music will perfectly capture the essence of a story. Without words, just a melody. The Godfather theme is one of those rare perfect pieces.
It speaks volume on how great a movie is when, despite coming out in 1972, the clip of a scene can still get 400K of views only 3 weeks after being uploaded.
It was easy to see the plot once Barzinni spoke up for tatalia, they were all in together. It's the small things that mean so much in communication and relationships in life.
First, “FOREGO the vengeance of my son”. It’s not about forgetting, it’s about letting go and moving on. A concession he is making in exchange of peace. Second, why would you edit such a clip?
Some of the differences between the cultures of my country and yours. BUT, we are not unreasonable people. It's the business that wants to improve their profit lines. The culture stemming from them introducing their products is not of the government, but business, that is all. Just as we appreciate the gold products in your markets, your people may appreciate the products we offer from ours. It's good business, no mention of government influence.
It's interesting to note that, with his father still alive, Sonny wouldn't dare make the deal on narcotics... yet, with Sonny dead, Vito made the very same deal.
Pretending to be gentleman. Reasonable. They killed each other sons! And here they are hugging like they are civilized human beings. Men like this are going to hell, and they know it. (I know it’s a movie, I’m just throwing out some analysis/opinion.).
Francis Ford Coppola made legendary movies in the 70s. Sad that the same guy now made metropolis. A movie i thought will turn out good, but it turned out to be such a dud.
Reminder that Marlon was reading these lines off of cue cards either hung around the set or around other actor’s necks. He was probably the best actor we will ever see.
"Mention it, don't insist. Don Barzini is a man who will know that without being told." "You mean Tattaglia." "Tattaglia's a pimp. He never could have outfought Santino. But I didn't know until this day that it was Barzini all along."
when he said “if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning then I’m going to blame some of the people in this room “ he was looking at Tatallia but you knew he was talking to Barzini
Some commenters have pointed out that it's spelled "forego" rather than "forgo." "Forgo" makes me think of the movie Fargo, which contains a line of dialog referring to "a no-rough-stuff kind of deal." Ironic, considering the deal these characters thought they were making, versus what ultimately happened.
Vito showed anger, fury, wrath, sorrow in 5 mins. Best ever by Marlon 🏆
Agreed. This and the garden scene are in my opinion the best 2 in the film, which is arguably my favorite and definitely the best I've seen
Literally he's the worst part of it for me. Incredibly hammy and cartoonish

Great catch
Wow. Nothing gets past you, Sherlock.
Your father smells of elderberries!
I always enjoy the “or if he’s struck by a bolt of lightning” to drive home that he’s killing all of them if Michael dies.
It’s moreso to point out that he won’t be naive to the slightest misfortune that befalls his son since he knows they’re gunning for him.
When he said “if he’s struck by a bolt of lightning” he escalated the entire monologue without a change in volume or cadence. A “fuck around and find out” moment decades before we knew what to call it.

This is probably my favorite scene from The Godfather movies.

Greatest acting in History. From Cuba 🇨🇺 with love.
Brando what an actor
Fun Fact: Brando was 47 years old when he played this part.
About a year later, he appeared on the Dick Cavett Show so you can see how he really looked at around that time.
About the video title, it's "forego", not "forgot". Glad to see this pivotal scene in movie history...😀
And he was a man of his word...he was in fact not the man to break the peace they made there that day. His son Michael took care of that.
Masterpiece.
Title is wrong it's forgo, not forgot
well spotted and amazing swiftness by the poster: less than 2 hours stated, its changed.
Nope... that does not make sense. It should be "forego"

Pretending to be gentleman. Reasonable. They killed each other sons! And here they are hugging like they are civilized human beings. Men like this are going to hell, and they know it. (I know it’s a movie, I’m just throwing out some analysis/opinion.).
This is as good as it gets...
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Tattallgia was a pimp..He never could have out fought Santino
But [Vito] didn't know until [that day] that it was Barzini all along.
One of THE scenes in cinimatic history
And it's not even top ten in this movie.
We're going to predict what really has come true 30 years later rest in peace Don Corleone
Francis Ford Coppola made legendary movies in the 70s. Sad that the same guy now made metropolis. A movie i thought will turn out good, but it turned out to be such a dud.
Crazy discussion.
THE SiT Down is always the best way for REASONING,ORDER , DiRECTION !
It's not "forgot" the vengeance, it is "forego" the vengeance. You should correct your header.
"Times have changed" indeed, barzini, indeed
Barzini played Tatallia like a piano.. It was obvious to the Don
Damn good scene.
Vito saying that: if something happen to Michael (meanwhile: someone putting a bomb in Michael´s car in Sicily)
That had already happened
The movie insists on itself
Reminder that Marlon was reading these lines off of cue cards either hung around the set or around other actor’s necks.
He was probably the best actor we will ever see.
if he was so good he wouldn't need cue cards
He's like the fourth best actor in this movie.
@@redrick8900 No, no ... tenth best! LOL
Nice acting! (Marlon Brando)
"Mention it, don't insist. Don Barzini is a man who will know that without being told."
"You mean Tattaglia."
"Tattaglia's a pimp. He never could have outfought Santino. But I didn't know until this day that it was Barzini all along."
"I am a Superstitious Man.." Chad Speech-Starter 😅
This is what HR thinks they do when resolving inter-department conflicts. 😅
when he said “if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning then I’m going to blame some of the people in this room “ he was looking at Tatallia but you knew he was talking to Barzini
"I *talked* to Barzini." 😄
Yeah but,..who’s Buzzy Malinga
“It insists on itself”
Some commenters have pointed out that it's spelled "forego" rather than "forgo."
"Forgo" makes me think of the movie Fargo, which contains a line of dialog referring to "a no-rough-stuff kind of deal."
Ironic, considering the deal these characters thought they were making, versus what ultimately happened.
Just so long as it doesn't make you think of Wells-Fargo...lol
Who’s been messing up everything, it was Barzini all along…
