    The cat was a stray that took a liking to Marlon Brando. It unexpectedly jumped up in his lap during the scene. Brando just went with it. Oddly, the cat added unintended depth to his character; that scene showed a tender side to the don.

      That's why Brando's cat was so well behaved. It was still auditioning for the part. Her cat knows it's in and can do it's own thing now.

      I loved that stray kitty. Before I knew the cat was a stray, I thought having a cat on set was planned to sort of enphasize the fact that maybe the Don's wife or daughter Connie had a family cat or two, and the cat just happened to come into the office before he had the meeting with the funeral director guy.

      In the early 1920’s Rudy Valee did a remake of the sons with cleaned up lyrics. It was called the Butcher Boy. In the 1940’s the Andrew Sisters also recorded the Butcher Boy. The original was a Sicilian sailor’s song. It wasn’t so much it was dirty, more suggestive. That’s what makes it funny.

    Paulie called out "sick" on the day that Vito was shot. That aroused suspicion. And, in the book, they were able to get information from the phone company showing Paulie was taking calls from another Family. But honestly, just the call out would probably have been enough to earn his death, he was the Don's driver and he wasn't there when he needed to be...they would have killed him just to be sure he wasn't a traitor to the Corleones.

      100%
      The trick of this movie is that they make Don Vito sympathetic and honorable. Michael starts out sympathetic, forced by circumstances to join the family. But they are violent criminals and so are the people who work for them. They use violence and the threat of violence to get what they want. The minute they want something that is yours, friendship goes out the window and they’ll take it. And you never want to be perceived as disrespectful or as a threat. If they think there’s even a chance of you being a threat, just move far far away.
      If you live in a gangster neighborhood, make friends with the gangsters’ grannies, but never with them. Be the guy that shovels snow of the granny’s front sidewalk, mow her lawn, help her with her groceries, but never get mixed up with the gangsters themselves. If some shit goes down anyway, you’re the grandmother’s friend and that might save you from trouble.

    Appolonia was the love of his life. When he returned to the US, he married Kaye on the rebound. It was more of a marriage of convenience. Michael also needed Kaye for status because she was from a respected New England family. This would give him leverage for the family business. In the deleted Directors' cut, the death scene is traumatic for Michael.
    The baptism scene is the traditional Roman Catholic Rite of Baptism.

    It took me a while to get it too, but when they made that U-turn going to the restaurant, they did it right after the bridge, making it impossible for anyone following not to do the same thing and reveal themselves. It's a classic trick to either reveal or get rid of anyone following you in traffic.

    The little explosive blood-pack used to simulate a gunshot wound in movies are called “squibs”.The scene where James Caan (Sonny) gets gunned down at the toll booth held the record for the most squibs used on one person for decades. Caan said in an interview that while the stunt guys were putting them all over his body he was surprised at the way they just kept adding them and adding them, so he asked the stunt coordinator “Hey these things are safe, right?” And the guy answered “Sure……probably…..to tell the truth I’ve never seen so many used at once, but I think it’s okay.”

The casting, acting, screenwriting, music score, cinematography, directing, and production are all about as perfect as can be achieved in one movie. What's truly remarkable is they duplicated that total perfection in the 1974 sequel. (I wish I could say the same for part 3)

    Why wasn't the whole family at the hospital? There was a war going on. They hired guards to protect Don Corleone, but they'd have been taking a big risk to all be together in a public place. Michael was an exception because, at that point, he was still a "civilian."
    The reason they started for New Jersey and then did a U-turn at the bridge was to make sure they weren't being followed.

    How did he know Paulie was the traitor? They don't mention it in the film, but in the book the Don had an advantage that very few knew about: he had a friend in the phone company who could tell him what calls were made and received at any particular phone -- and Paulie had lots of suspicious phone calls to Barzzini and his men.

    "Leave the gun. Take the Cannoli." He was just supposed to say "Take the gun." He adlibbed the 'Take the cannoli' line. Also, the cat was just a lot cat that was hanging around the studio and Brando befriended it and used it as a prop. The Godfather: Part 2 is the best of the Godfather movies. Even better than this one and this one is a masterpiece.

    Carlo not only beat her, he set up her brother Sonny. After the first time they knew Sonny would rush off to find Carlo if he beat her again, probably without waiting for his men, so they told Carlo to beat his pregnant so they could set up the ambush, and he did it. Killing him wasn't punishment enough, imo. Fwiw, I don't think he loves Kay the way he fell in love with Apollonia, but he wanted a family with a good, loving, faithful woman, and Kay fit the bill.

    Lots of questions you ask. Tessio, the eventual traitor, and Clemenza, the short fat guy, were Vito’s two oldest friends and directly beneath him in the family business. Why did Connie stay in her abusive marriage? Because in the 1940s & 1950s divorce was not an option, especially for Italian Catholic families. Back then a woman couldn’t get credit and in some states even own property without a male relative to sign for her. The priest breathed on the baby because that was part of the old baptismal ritual used at the time.

    I appreciate that you're watching all those old movies, that are unknown to your generation. They are a look on our past, and surely help to broaden the mind, something that z generation often refuses to do. And, for God's sake, certainly 'The Godfather' or 'The Bad, The Ugly and The Good' are in every sense superior to 99% of today's productions. When we were young, without Internet, we spent time watching movies of 30', 40, 50', so we knew Fred Astaire or Clark Gable, even if they were a lot before our time; I get that today is different, but at least some milestones like this one, need to be known by people born after 2000

    • @seannovack3834

      Exactly. The film was released in 1972 and starts set in 1946. That's a 26 year difference, or the same difference as today and the release of "Twister" and "The Rock". Seeing a hospital from 76 years ago is jarring to those growing up today, who can't imagine just how "primitive" facilities were back then. The desk at the end of the hall? They didn't have "Call Buttons". A nurse needed to be nearby listening for a patient in distress, and that is where she sat. - "She", there weren't any male nurses in the 40's.

      I was born in 2004 and I love The Godfather pt 1 and 2, I also love the Dollar Trilogy since my Great Uncle is a fan of westerns, I'm glad Clint Eastwood is still alive and making movies, lotta respect for that man! Every time I went to my Great Uncle's home I would put Fox Classics (one of those premium channels) or TCM and watching classics from the old Hollywood to vary from the most recent productions that were repeated on cable, since most of them are not at the same level of quality. Most of my favorite movies and music is from decades ago.
      Back in the 70s, 80s and 90s, many classic movie stars were still alive and interviewed (including those from silent era), most of the actors who began their careers in those decades are legends now, many are already in their 50s or close to 60s like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt (my Mom's generation, she loves Brad), while new Gen Z stars who are in their 20s are rising.
      There are still very good movies today made by amazing (and newer) directors and actors, but you have to look beyond the most popular blockbusters like Marvel, Transformers or Fast and Furious (style over substance), I feel that even blockbusters from 80s, 90s and even 2000s had more love in their productions, which is rare to see today (cough Top Gun: Maverick).

    They never told the Corleone family where the meeting was going to take place. They found because they had an informant with the police. Before cell phones, the police chief had to provide a phone to reach him in case he was suddenly required. The informant found about it and called Sonny.

Every time he had a phone call, he called in sick. The day the Don was shot, Paulie got a phone call that day. The hitmen also knew the Don's routine of going to the fruitstand before he goes home.

    I love your reactions usually, but you talked so much over the dialog in the first 20 minutes that you missed some points that were necessary for understanding events later. It was so frustrating to listen to you asking questions when the answers had been given in dialogue that you missed because you talked through the beginning of the movie. I still loved the reaction, but I feel protective toward this movie. I'll leave you one question. They say that titles of artistic works are always thematic. So what's the significance of the title of this movie? Who is the star? Whose story is it? Who is the godfather? Brando's performance is incandescent, but I think this is Michael's movie: the making of a godfather.

    The more I see this film, the more I appreciate it. Michael never wanted this destiny. His father didn't want this for him.

This film takes so much mid 20th century folklore & urban legends (the Frank Sinatra 'From Here to Eternity' saga etc) and weaves it into a modern Game of Thrones. Puzo's book was juicy & salacious. Coppola's screen treatment was nothing short of epic. This deserves its reputation as a screen classic. Everyone involved did some of the best work of their careers.

    Like the wedding an Italian American celebration is a huge thing. We had a hog roast of epic proportions, the hogs were put into a pit in the ground and slow cooked from the night before till lunch, long tables with side and main dishes and deserts were lined up, an ice table for the cold stuff, the hog at the beginning and everyone lined up to go down the line. The other hog was timed to be done at supper later that night, beer and pop was unlimited, a wooden dance floor and jukebox, bocci ball and volley ball, and all done in the cow pasture next to my house. It went on for 40 years till the property got sold. It was my grandpas and my grandma who came to America from Italy, both sides of the family and all the branching families, about 200-250 people in all.

    The old guy who turned out to be the traitor was Sal, who was a longtime friend and partner of Vito's from the old days. Vito, Sal, and Clemenza (the guy who was showing Micheal how to shoot and how to make spagetti) were the original three partners when Vito was setting up his gang.

    How did they know Paulie sold out the Godfather?
    The book explains, and there's even a deleted scene where Sonny explains it to Michael. They had contacts inside the phone company who looked at the records, and every time Paulie called in sick he called from the same pay phone, and every time he did, a couple of minutes before he called there was a call placed to that phone from the same number. So somebody was calling him and finding out where Don Corleone was going to be, then Paulie would call in sick so he wouldn't be there when they made the hit. That's how they knew it was him.

    In the book, it said that the reason Solotzo went after the Godfather is due to Sonny showing interest in the deal at the meeting. So, if they killed the Godfather, they figured they could make a deal with Sonny when Sonny becomes the Godfather. Also, in the book, they found It was Paulie because Sonny traced all the calls from Paulie's phone to the enemies phone number. They found out it was him that way.

    The funny bit about this movie, and I don't know if it's emphasised in the book, is that we're told right at the start that Michael is a returned US Marine, having done at least one tour in combat.
    He's the youngest in the family but he's probably killed more men and seen more bloodshed than any of Vito's soldiers, even Luca.

    The Godfather is one of the masterpiece in 1974. Filmmaker, Francis Ford Coppola did not want to make that film, but luckily, George Lucas and Walter Murch convince Francis and George said “ Francis, we need the money, the sheriff department are going to lock the doors, in our production company, you gotta do it.”
    Not for nothing but Coppola owe money from Warner Bros. in one of his film called the Rain People.
    So it wasn’t Francis passion project even though that he was doing it to pay off debts but he is still one of the greatest artists in the 20th century and he’s the Godfather of Cinema and Culture🎥

    Michael learns that business IS personal despite everyone saying the opposite. Part 2 is also great. Part 3 suffers by comparison to the other 2 movies, but it is worth watching to see what happens at the very least.
    The baby, Sophia Coppola, at the Baptism is played by the daughter of the director, who also plays Michael & Kay's daughter, Mary, in Part 3.

    Great reaction! I'm happy you finally got to see this film. Definitely, watch Godfather 2. It is a masterpiece as well. Imo, you can skip part 3 and keep the treasured memories of watching parts 1 and 2 and how great they were. In other words, part 3 is like Spiderman 3 minus the dancing and singinig numbers.

  • @fuzzballzz36

    Your review was great as usual! Just a few points that might help:
    1. The evidence against Paulie can be found in the book. He kept vanishing on days when bad things would happen to the family and was getting calls from the other Families. It really helps to read the book with dense, complex films like this one and 'The Shining,' for instance.
    2. Sollozzo was indeed selling heroin, and getting into that business actually did contribute to the downfall of the mob in real life.
    3. "We hit Bruno Tattaglia" meant they killed him.
    4. Enzo, the baker was always on the Family's side. At the beginning, Nazorine the master baker asked the Don for help getting his daughter married (to Enzo) and Enzo his citizenship, so he owed the family a lot.
    5. I agree with you about Carlo! As a woman especially I felt his death was RICHLY deserved. But it would have been very hard indeed for Connie to leave. Women in the 1940s did not leave their husbands. They did not get divorces, especially in Catholic circles. If a man beat his wife, the attitude was 'it's between them and none of our business' because a man's home was his castle and you didn't interfere. There was no sense of protecting women and children. Also, women in the 1940s could not own property, could not have bank accounts, could not work in many professions. Connie could have only done one thing and that's retreat to her father's house. Which probably would've been better than staying with that scum fuck.

    • @seannovack3834
      @seannovack3834 Год назад +5

      Great comment, just one small inaccuracy. By 1900, every state had passed legislation modeled after New York's Married Woman's Property Act of 1848, legally granting women the right to keep their own wages and to own property in their own name. The state where the Corleone Family lived was the pioneer in pushing this through, and by the time of the setting of the film it had been the law for more than 100 years.
      That said, the portrayal of Connie by Talia Shire was so incredibly accurate of battered women I've known. I worked security in a shelter for many years, and you see the behavioral patterns that battered women take so long to break and recover from in her character to a scarily accurate degree.
      Leaving Carlo simply wasn't something Connie was emotionally capable of doing. Michael knew that and simply removed the choice from her hands to protect her and to avenge Santino's death. He was truly acting as a Godfather to her baby Victor by protecting him from the violence and treachery of Carlo.

    Living in NYC there are still echoes of the mafia era. Two blocks from where I live was the "Social Club" of Carmine Persico. I am not sure the exact storefront, but ITHINK it might now be a children's dance studio. There are still social clubs in the Gambino territory. Some neighborhoods still have a real mafia presence, even though they are much weaker than they were.
    The actor who played Luca Brasi was actual mafia. And he really was nervous. They caught on camera him rehearsing his lines and kept it in.
