    This meeting (and outcome) was so dangerous, that (especially) after Sonny's fatal mistake, a Sicilian consigliere would have recommended Sollozo be killed to send a definitive message that "no, means NO"... Hagen of course missed all the significance of the meeting, allowing The Don to be shot months later... and the rest is history.

    • @TheChattounet

      no... as Solozzo said : "blood is a big expense..." , killing Solozo would have meant declaring the war and it would not have been good for everyone neither

      Had the Don had "Genco" his original consigilere, he would have seen that coming a mile away and would have devised a plan to "remove" his rivals without telegraphing or making any obvious suggestions. Hagen was really not fit for the position he was in.

    everyone points Sonny for comiting mistakes... But the Don himself mades mistakes in this one...
    He looks Sollozo down (drug is a dirty business, yes, but why would you say this to someone's face that you know can be bold ? He even wipped his knee at some point)
    And he basiccaly said : i invited you to talk business, by respect for tataglias, but he states that he never had any project to say yes at any moment , which is kinda of lame

    I don't think Sonny's reaction made a bit of difference. Solazzo knew either The Godfather would back him or he would try to kill him, the excuse to the other families would be that he had offered a better than fair deal which was refused, so the _"hit"_ was _"just business,"_ just as Moe Green's fate was sealed the moment he refused Michael's offer. If Moe Green had agreed to sell, his interactions with Fredo would never have been brought up, but having refused the business deal Michael did bring up the treatment of Fredo so that the bullet Green got in the eye later was considered justified.

    • @ameennasar2583
      @ameennasar2583 23 часа назад

      Michael wouldn't have hit if Moe was polite and actually tried to negotiate. He tried playing the boss. That got him killed. Michael needed such a big reason to carry out a hit on him

    An hour and a half on one scene. Also historical scenarios of how to deal with a powerful foe. What I learned was read the room, and more importantly do your research on your ooponent, and read their body language, and eyes to see their intentions. Say No, without saying No is an important tool to buy time, and take the situation to your advantage. These are excellent tools in order to do exactly that.

    You know I never hear anyone comment on this very important piece. Ok let's say Vito was successfully taken out. The whole reason that Sollozzo and the rest of the Don's needed Vito was his political contacts. Had Vito been killed then the political contacts would be null and void. The rest of the Corleone's didn't have those contacts

    Vito played Luca too early, he should have kept him reversed and waited when he need to unleash him, he practically handed him to Solozzo who knew he was a threat that had to be taken straight away
    When he learned Vito was still alive Solozzo still tried to push the drug trade deal onto Tom moments ago was ready to give in, but the moment he learned of his adopted father's survival he was against it showing how Solozzo wasn't able to adapt and still tried to use his plan he put in place despite it going off the rail by that point
