    What’s the movie The Godfather about?
    Discover, Marlon Brando and Al Pacino starring as Vito Corleone and his youngest son, Michael, respectively in : “The Godfather”.
    It is the late 1940s in New York and Corleone is, in the parlance of organized crime, a "godfather" or "don," the head of a Mafia family. Michael, a free thinker who defied his father by enlisting in the Marines to fight in World War II, has returned a captain and a war hero. Having long ago rejected the family business, Michael shows up at the wedding of his sister, Connie (Talia Shire), with his non-Italian girlfriend, Kay (Diane Keaton), who learns for the first time about the family "business." Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and winning for Best Picture, Best Actor (Marlon Brando), and Best Adapted Screenplay, The Godfather was followed by a pair of sequels.

    What I love about this scene is that it actually goes according to plan. Usually when characters go “here’s what we’re gonna do” and explicitly lay out a plan, it’s a dead giveaway that something’s going to go really wrong. Watching Michael pull it off is still one of the biggest thrills I’ve ever experienced from a movie

      I always attributed the train sound to a train arriving at its station, symbolizing Michael’s worked up the courage to pull the trigger. What enforced this idea of mine was the natural screaming of the train serving to muffle the gunshots.
      Plus Michael’s face when the train shouts to me “This is my moment!”

    Michael was so anxious that he couldn't even hear Sollozzo's final words. However, he accomplished the most important indication: to kill Sollozzo first. The book shows how this was not random. Had Michael killed McCluskey first, Sollozzo could have been fast enough to react (and for sure shoot him with his own gun, which he most probably had). McCluskey was heavy and slow, he couldn't react quickly

      I don' think it was only that. The main difference between Sollozzo and McCluskey is that Sollozzo knew he had to be always alert in front of Michael, he had tried to kill his father after all, and he was just another punk like him, while McClusky never thought that Michael would dare to kill a cop, that is why he had to be slower to react, he had to come to terms first with the fact that the punk in front of him had a real gun and he was going to kill him, thus giving a precious time advantage to Michael.

    Now for something like this, youre gonna need one gun. Youre gonna want something with more power than a 22. You definitely dont want a silencer, you want to make alot of noise to make the witnesses run away so they aint gonna be looking at you. But not the noise a 45 makes because that makes too much noise and a patrol car can hear that a few blocks away at least. Sometimes with something like this, you might want to go to the bathroom first. It makes sure no one follows you in, and it makes sure no one is in the bathroom that you have to worry about. It also gives you a chance to go to the bathroom. You dont want to be uncomfortable. It also is the place where your given gun is.

      Third episode came up short. I see what Coppola was aiming for, he fell just short of achieving perfection. Andy Garcia, bless his soul, gave 110% to his role. Sadly, Pacino had forgotten how to be Michael. And Coppola's daughter, Sofia, despite her incredible beauty, couldn't act her way out of a ziploc bag. Joe Mantegna's Joey Zaza JUST missed the mark. He gets an A for effort. Sadly nobody could save the film. Now, on its own, away from its two predecessors, it's not a bad movie. It's just not on the same level as the first two, both Best Picture Oscar winners and deservedly so.

    Only problem ive got with this is that when they're planning it Clemenza says' it's perfect for us , they've got an old fashioned toilet with the box and the chain' but there was nothing old fashioned about this in the 1940s

      Actually the newer design “the flushometer” showed up in 1906, so while many older businesses in the city might still be the old design with the elevated box, the newer designs would be common in newer commercial settings and by the 1940s, especially in big cities, the flushometer would be very widespread and the elevated box would definitely be considered “old fashioned” for a commercial setting.

    I love the morality play about complacency. "I've frisked a thousand young punks". Hayden, btw, was also a brilliant author and a thorough genius/rebel. He was picky about doing anything in H'wood and opted instead to spend most of his time hanging out in Sausalito, working on The Wanderer, his sailboat. He preferred only real "working boats". His book, The Voyage is page-turner.

    The 'Hit' on Sollozzo & McClosky by Michael was a 'Storyboard & Cinematic' Masterpiece...i.e., earlier, Santino chided Michael that he didn't have the 'Family Jewels' to kill up close, later, Clemenza instructed Michael, "Remember, 2 in the head apiece...". When the time came, Michael's military training, hatred, & resolve kicked in, and he killed Sollozzo up close, in the head, with ONE shot...whereas, when came time to kill McClosky, Michael flinch-balked, missed the intended target area at close range, and shot McClosky in the throat. However, on the 2nd shot, Michael's training & Clemenza's instructions kicked in, and he shot McClosky in the head, as per operations procedure. I applaud the the Script Writer/s.

    It seems like everyone, including Michael's brother Sonny had forgotten that he had been a Marine in service in the South Pacific in WW2. That was some of the most brutal hand to hand fighting ever. Killing these guys would be baby shit for a combat Marine like Michael!

      He could have taken alone the entire five families and just like Blondie in TGTBTU made mashed potatoes of all them. He had a Silver Star (for “gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States”); the Navy and Marine Corps Medal ribbon (offered to both USN and USMC servicemembers that risked their lives to save others); the Purple Heart (for “being wounded or killed in any action against an enemy of the United States or as a result of an act of any such enemy or opposing armed forces); the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (awarded to all U.S. military servicemembers who served between December 7, 1941 and March 2, 1946 in the Asiatic-Pacific theater area) and the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal (showing that not only did he see Pacific action, he was also well active in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East)

      "Michael's Medals:
      "The Silver Star is awarded for “gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States”, and the ribbon consists of an Old Glory red center stripe with white, ultramarine blue, and white stripes extending outward on each side. It was first awarded in 1932 and is available to any uniformed servicemember, including a Marine like Michael"
      "Next on the row is the Navy and Marine Corps Medal ribbon, consisting of equal stripes in navy blue, old gold, and apple red. The medal was established in August 1942 for “distinguishing oneself by heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy of the United States” and is offered to both USN and USMC servicemembers that risked their lives to save others"
      "Filling out the top row of Michael’s awards is the Purple Heart, famous from countless war films as a decoration for “being wounded or killed in any action against an enemy of the United States or as a result of an act of any such enemy or opposing armed forces”. Needless to say, Michael’s Purple Heart is from a wound"

      If he was a marine then he would've fought all through iwojima to the Philippines. If he was stationed during 1942-1943 then he would've fought the japanese in the Philippines where they would've used guerrilla tactics. That's why Michael was resourceful and could think outside the box.
