@@lpb3731like for example in the scene where thr child comes back and enters the frame the door is visible for fraction of a second while the godfather character is almost inevitably out of the game with his pre visible bed ridden story from the hospital scene almost coming back a second time with Michael standing on the edge of the stairs but never entering mirroring after when he left the compound with the trees around
Indeed. He becomes a monster to play with the kid for fun, scares the kid, the kid gets used to it and starts playing back, killing Brando in the process. Though it was a natural death, the "play" depicts a different image.
It's not just his hair and makeup. The scene where he plays with his grandchild and drops dead is the best acting I have ever seen. No vanity. Just truth. How easy he makes it look.
This is a testament to the incredible work of master make-up artist Dick Smith. Not only was he an amazing artist but an innovator in the trade where other make-up artists are better in their work including the great Rick Baker. RIP Dick Smith, thank you for your work in The Godfather. The Exorcist, Taxi Driver, Altered States, Scanners and so many other films.
@@martindoyle7410 he was shot by Salatzo, set up by Paulie. The Don visibly changed after that. You could see the slow decline in his health. It’s a masterful performance. But Brando was amazing in every movie he ever did. Never less the mesmerizing. You should watch Reflection of a Golden Eye. He plays a closeted homosexual colonel. It’s a tour de force of, I won’t call it acting, becoming.
My Italian grandfather died same way exactly, in his garden tending the tomato plants on a nice sunny day. Whenever I see that scene I always think of him and how clever he was to figure out that it was Barzini all along.
Richard Pryor's character said it best, IMHO: "You don't get to BE old bein' no fool. Whole lotta you wise men d**der than a mother... ain't they?" We OGs may no longer be fast afoot or lifting-strong, but we have answers where others haven't even asked the questions.
Before I knew better, I always had sort of a mandela effect where I thought Brando was really the age that he portrayed in Godfather. It took me a while to realised he was still only in his mid-40s when he shot that film, but was made to look like the old family patriarch in his 60s/70s. Just to put in perspective, he shot the Godfather before Last Tango, and you could still see how youthful/athletic Brando still was in Last Tango, dancing and getting up in a backflip and all. Just shows how not only the makeup artists nailed the subtle aging make-up, but also how Brando convincingly portrayed an old dying man without leaning into elderly stereotypes. When great artists combine their talent...
Of course someone like Mr Hanks, who collects vintage typewriters, would work in 'motion pictures' not films or movies. Most actors working today would sound absolutely ridiculous and pretentious if they said that. Not Ol'Tom here😀👏👏
Blessings to the late great makeup genius of Dick Smith. As good as this was, he didn’t get an Oscar for The Godfather, but was finally honored in 1984 for aging F. Murray Abraham as rival composer Antonio Salieri in Amadeus!👍🏽

No one is commenting on the incredible makeup skill it took to create this! That was the point of the post….. as a makeup artist I can tell you this is no easy task.
I was at a restaurant in LA and Tom Hanks came in for dinner with his wife. He walked over to every table and said hi, even at tables where nobody was sitting.
I never get tired of watching this movie, it’s that good. My son now lives this movie. We’ve watched it many times, but will watch it like it’s our first time seeing it. It’s that good. 🤦🏾♀️
The respect Brando gained from his fellow actors, Caan, Pacino, Cazale, Duval among others, contributed to the scenes where he was not playing the patriarch of the family , he WAS the patriarch and that also made the whole feel of the movie's credebility!!
As a matter of fact, when 'Don Corleone' dropped dead on that garden I was so disappointed, saddened because that character was coming to an end. Only an actor of the magnitude, stature of Marlon Brando could have nailed down that role the perfectly way he did. That movie is over 50 years old and I don't get tired watching it over and over again marvelling at his performance from beginning to the end. He was a wonderful, amazing actor.😮
I once heard that the highest compliment you can give an actor is you didn’t recognize them right away in a role….the 1 that immediately comes to mind is Tom Hardy in the Revenant ….it took me a minute to recognize him….there are a few others but that’s the 1 I always remember
I love both Tom Hanks and Marlon Brando as two of the best of best actors of all times and I think aging naturally is so beautiful like the whole nature…
I think no one noticed it, except Hanks! An Iconic actor watching an Icon, a compliment from Tom Hanks shows Marlon was master of his craft! Apocalypse Now, is also a classic Marlon plays the role of a Psycho, but makes the character look like a genius! 💯
I just watched both parts last night for probably the 10th time and it was literally the first time that I really recognized the slow aging. And it is done so well. and then you remember that this movie is 50 fucking years old and you can’t have anything but the most respect for the film and everybody involved
Well, he was 44, and portrayed someone who was like 55, so that wasn't much of a stretch. Plus, people back then aged faster than they do now, and looked very old by the time they were 60.
Darling treasure Tom Hanks " Tjhe Godfather " absolutely brilliant movie my ery favourite Mrarlon Brando Al Pacino so many amazing actors in the Godfather Blessings Always Diana Melbourne Australia
Gave me chills when Hanks described this superb subtle hair and makeup . I also think the genius of Brando's performance, how he carries himself from his "younger" scenes to his elderly death scene in the garden is as real and convincing as anything ever filmed.
That's is so true that you should do anything at that level that you go un-noticed, going under the skin of the character so much that you wait for it to mature it like a fine wine
@@myleshigh9851 I stand corrected - in GF2 his DOB is shown as 1891 and he dies in 1955, that makes 64, not the the 70 year old man everyone thinks he was
Also another reason the DON looks Older than he actually is called Battle Fatigue wear and tear - people forget he was shot 5-6 times while buying oranges and he was 54 years old at that time - the trauma the human body will go thru to recover will be intense - the aging happens after the shooting - the don prior to the shooting and post the shooting is not the same physically - it’s called Life
I just went over the flight log. Only names I saw were allen dershowitz. Naomi Campbell and Bill clinton. It is in horrible handwriting so hard to read.
Same thing with Al Pacino. I’m always surprised by just how young he looks at the start of the film, and by the end he looks just how remember without me noticing when they changed it
Im of Sicilian ancestry on my dads side. I grew up on Long Island. I can tell you this. The Godfather is a great movie but it is a complete crock of shit. There has never been a Don like Vito Corleone. The closest you can come is Bonanno or Gambino and both of them worked their way up through the ranks as enforcers. Breaking legs during the day, going home to eat supper with their families, tucking their kids into bed, then murdering at night. In other words real psychopaths.
I mean, you really expected to be a real story? I'm watching "The Offer" mini-series recently and there are plenty of interesting stories about The Godfather production, starting with the fact that the Italian-American Civil Rights League didn't want this movie to be made.
Not exactly, Puzo had Frank Costello in mind when he invented Don Corleone. Gambino was very different, like a traitor sometimes. Costello or Corleone were not like that. And people who turned against Costello could sing but not fly, at least in his prime. Fun fact: Costello's nickname was Prime Minister due to his political contacts. Also Corleone had most of those contacts of the 5 Family Bosses.

I was about to comment the same thing - as a kid I thought he was just that age when they made the movie.
I think he was 41 or 40
Said the same thing Tom said but longer.
Marlon was all about observing, in this case how aging alters a man, and then masterfully copied it. He was a human-chameleon and also very humble.
@@drewzalo No they didn’t, they made an additional observation 🤦♂️
Its crazy when you see Brando during that time in an interview..he looks so different and of course younger
Marlon Brando was really a brilliant Actor in Godfather ❤🎉
The quality of the picture visually is also so stunning I remember being a kid and seeing the garden scene and thinking it was a newer movie
Brando is my favorite actor of all time and a genius
Ah ! Je suis contente de voir que vous partagez mon immense admiration pour Brando. Un génie magnifique.
There is a reason that this film is still regarded as one of THE greatest ever made.

Thanks Tom now i noticed it after all these years first watched it 1985 never really thought about it
Brando was incredibly gifted as far as the art of acting, just well trained and had gift.
Marlon did the most accurate portrayal of an old school Italian grandfather. He reminded me of my own.

Hello Patricia 👋
Dick Smith. Godfather, Little Big Man, The Hunger, Amadeus, Altered States, the Exorcist.
Can I be inside you please 🥺
Yes, that can't be possible without the efforts of the make up artists, kudos to them as well.

Ya He one of the best ever
Ya he's one of the best ever. Just watched him as Marc Antony
He was just a few years older than James Caan
@user-zw9co9vd9h well there's no accounting for taste
...He is The Greatest!!!, ...He Made Jor-El epic!!!
Wow. I am old enough to remember when Tom Hanks first started acting. He was so YOUNG!
And now I have lived to see him as an old man!
Brando is probably one of the best to ever do it
Imo, I thiink Matlon Brando and Laurence Olivier were the Goats.
I never thought about that before, never even noticed it., but yeah, it’s very well done.
True! I didn’t notice it either until you said it mr. Hanks
