There is no movie in existence today that can receive this level of analyzation without a single real-world conspiracy in sight. No subliminals. No woke messaging (was woke even a thing back then?). Just some incredibly deep storytelling with characters we sometimes see ourselves as (I'm definitely a Clemenza).
Yes I agree. Although I remember reading the Novel whilst on my honeymoon on a Spanish island in 1990.I kind of skipped quite a lot of detail in book which I guess these vids have filled in for me & many others.
Carlo was lulled into such a false sense of security just beautifully...he was brought in so close when it came time for Michael to finish him, he never saw it coming.
Disagree with that. I think in the back of his mind, Carlo knew he was more than likely a dead man. He hoped he wouldn't be found out as a traitor, but he really didn't have anyplace to go that wouldn't further solidify his status as a traitor....so he hoped like crazy that he could be forgiven against his own gut feeling that he really couldn't be forgiven. That was what made Carlo sit tight and take the bait.
Tom loved Sonny more than his other brothers because Sonny found him and convinced Vito to take him in. I think when Tom adjusts his tie seconds before Clemenza garrotes Carlo as a way to signal Clemenza to take him out. To avenge his brother.
Carlo was a pawn, same as The Turk and Fredo. But it was Barzini making Carlo move on Sonny, very similar to how it was Hyman Roth making Fredo move on Michael.
Thanks. The main clue was in the hit itself; the killers knew sonny would be at the stop, the only way it could have happened is if the fight Carlo started was manufactured because they knew sonny would fly into a rage, leaving without protection. ❤

Carlo’s fashion choices made it clear that he wasn’t a “company man”. All of the other members of the family were dressed for success. Carlo was dressed to impress. I believe the present day term is “peacocking”.
You could also see this as a mistake by vito for not seeing that Carlo wanted more and therefore making him jealous and betraying Sonny which ended in his death.
Of course Vito saw it. But he was in no position to stop it during his near-death recovery. Stopping it should have been up to Tom Hagen. Tom himself reflects in the book... paraphrasing ≈ _"If Genco were still Consigliere then he would have seen this trap for Sonny a mile away"._
Good video for the inner circle. Especially for guys like me who only gather his knowledge through books and videos based off books since all my elders have passed and I’ve become kind of a hermit. Trying to get back out into the world but only keeping in contact with people who are worth the conversation and energy to be around when I do get to see them. I miss my elders who have since passed on bc they had such a vast eclectic amount of wisdom and knowledge between all of them that they used to share.
Watching the way that Michael and Don Vito let Carlo think that he was safe and that he outsmarted them reminds me of the recent episode between Vladimir Putin and Yevgen Prigozin , when he tried to take control of Russia and after the "peace" deal that the Belorussian president orchestrated he thought he was safe and that Putin was gonna let it slide , he felt like the king of Russia , he felt unstoppable just like Carlo did , but then he fallen on Putin's trap and died on a plane crash.
Poor chap only wanted a good meal and a few drinks then he went and reincarnated himself as The Hollywood Godfather who’s life ran parallel with Forrest Gumps… strange days..😂
@@lasprince Vito's party December 7,1941!!? Wasn't that pearl harbour date,,, start of ww2 for America, I didn't take that in on first seeing/ reading, My days
Videos like this cause me to gain respect for common working people, who know the value of earning an honest day's pay for an honest day's labour. They don't have drivers, don't have mistresses, don’t have ulterior motives. What they have, are clean consciences.
I was watching this movie with someone who knew nothing about the movie or the mafia. As soon as the gunmen apoear at the tollbooth she screams 'carlo set him up!' 😂 i mean this is sooooo easy
Sonny had a genius for urban guerilla warfare. He managed to fight the five families to a stalemate. They had to eliminate him But it was planned years in advance. The placed him as a long term asset . The way his abuse of connie stopped just after sonny die . Thsts the key
@@robertbusek30 yes in the novel it discussed in greater detail. Before sonny even with vito and camellia. As soon as sonny died and when Michael came home , Michael made friends with him , and brought him into the business, In the book the vito owned the street all the houses outside the main house , Michael and kay in one , Tom and his family in another. Michael offered them a house beside him and kay and carlo bond over being the outsiders with Tom's wife ( she's a tiny part) . But Michael and kay discussed it . We learn later that vito and Michael had put it together, Michael was doing that keep your friends close but your enemy's closer .thing . Agh that farce you played with my sister * . It wasn't his nature. He stopped cheating as well . And the call from that woman and the arguments were all to provoke. Once sonny eas gone there was no need to . She was a good wife and the mother of his children and she loved him . She knew him for years ,before snd even sonny was surprised. Nit vito he had a bad feeling from the beginning.
@@robertbusek30 It would have made Carlo the slime realise if he continued the Corleone family would become resentful & suspicious that he caused sonny's demise. Also the novel affirms it stopped.
I learn new things everyday on this beautiful master piece watched this movie over 50 times currently reading the book 85% done this is pure golden then book is so amazing! Well detailed
In the movie Michael wasn't sure so he asked was it this guy or that guy. Once he said Barzin his fate was sealed. At that point Michael found out for sure and lost interest in talking to Carlo. Carlos days were numbered. There was no way Michael was going to look over Carlo's betrayal of his brothers death.
I will survive for decades like Vito, I'm a Filipino and i grew up here since i was born and raised. Culture here was totally different, but to answer the question i will last until i get old and retire like my grandfather did.
@lancehuffman2393 it couldn’t have been a coincidence that Sonny was killed on the parkway after hearing that his sister had got beaten up again. It seemed like the gunmen were prepared to take out a large number of men and not just Sonny.
Bravo - Bravo.. In Keeping in What You Have Brilliantly Articulated.. ' Play Fool 2 Catch Wise '.. We Also say if thee ' Allicator Don't Get You Thee Crocodile Will '
MY GOODNESS!! These laws of power are amazing and right on point!! Conquering your enemies in one felled swoop!! Seem dumber than your mark!! These are priceless!!
Who was Carlo dialing on the phone when Michael walked in? Someone posted earlier on one of these podcasts- Carlo was calling his mistress to tell her he wouldn’t be coming over and would be delayed.
You think there’s any significance in the fact that when the situation that led to Sonny’s death happened his mistress called and said she wouldn’t be able to make it and then when it was Carlos turn He instead called the mistress saying he wouldn’t be able to make it I feel like there something to that
@@TheVillainBlackH All I can realistically pull from it is coincidence. Maybe Puzo was inferring that many of Carlos' problems were tied up in his awful habits.
@@bradjohnson482 just goes to show you how amazing and layered the story was to be tryina tie things together to see if there’s any significance I’m glad my Parents watched this movie with me multiple times as a kid
I swear an oath of fidelity to the Culture Mafia. On the souls of my grandchildren (places hand over heart) , I will not be the one to use what I learn here on this channel for nefarious purposes.
Individuals who become so comfortable with whatever the situation might be, that individual believes that "I'm not gonna get caught" unfortunately they are caught 😔
Everybody knew Sonny had a temper. The Turk called up and told Sonny to control his famous temper. Notice that Rizzi sounds like Pazzi, the family that challenged the Medici family.
Excellent analysis. Of course it was obvious that it was Carlo who had Santino set up, but they way Don Vito and Don Michael played him until the time comes (too bad Don Vito had passed), it was really machiavellian. I would like to suggest you, to make a big analysis on Don Carmine Luppertazi Jr and how he used the "Laws of Power", in order to pretend the weak & fool, but ended up eliminating two bosses (Don Phil and Tony) and taking over everything. If you rewatch carefully the "Meeting of Minds", the "Last Sit-Down" and even the first scene Carmine appears with Johnny Sack and his father, you 'll see, that it was Carmine all along!!! Hope you 'll find it interesting and make it soon!!! Thank you in advance
But when you think about it, the family would have looked much better had 1) Sonny been wise enough not to associate with Carlo, 2) The family ensured not to put Carlo in a position where he'd be capable of hurting the family...Maybe try to encourage Connie Corleone to find someone who isn't so untrustworthy and ambitious? Maybe you don't put someone like Carlo in a position where he has so little importance that he'll consider betrayal as a potential good decision, yet important enough to be able to betray the family in a way that ends up costing Sonny's life. I know that this is incredibly easy to say in hindsight, but it's equally as easy to pretend that everything that happens in the movie is the result of brilliant plans by the Corleone family...I mean, yes the movies are in large part about Vito and Michael's plans, but the very reason why they have to make those plans are because they ended up tough situations that they hadn't perfectly anticipated. Obviously you can't always control what your enemies are going to do, it doesn't mean the Corleones are weak or stupid, it, I just think that, while the plans that we see take place on screen may seem to be brilliant and very well coordinated, we shouldn't forget about the bad planning or lack of planning that led them in such situations to begin with. Maybe they aren't such absolute masters of the "rules of power" and such...Now let's be clear, I'm not saying that these aren't amazing movies :p.
Carlo had already shown severe disrespect towards Don Corleone by his treatment towards Connie, of course he'd be a traitor to the family in other ways. This would be obvious to any mobster with half a brain for the game
After reading the book and watching the film I have one question. Carlo was messily garroted by Clemenza. How did Michael stage his death/ disguise the cause of Carlo’s death for the funeral? Was his murder blamed on another family? I don’t recall this being explained. Connie clearly knew but no one paid attention. I wonder what Don Vito would have done?
He didn't. The official story was Carlo had run off, abandoning Connie and Victor. Connie filed for divorce and got it. Only Connie and the capos know the truth, as does Michael.
he did"t know ,he was bluffing. if he knew then why did he ask carlo who came to him?. he knew who the other treader was but not sure about carlos. see if carlos said the wrong name becase he was scared ,then mike would have knew he was wrong about carlos.
You're wrong on this one, Steve. Vito does say "I want no inquiries made." Go watch it again. "All inquiries" makes no sense when put together with his next sentence "I want no acts of vengeance". Or Google it.
Carlo was able to put the plan together cuz he knew Sonny ran every time his sister called so he was able to setup time and location. Sonny was smash mouth that’s why he was good at planning wartime strategies, as he said “hit ‘em hard and hit ‘em fast!”, and that made Sonny predictable and that’s why Vito was always hesitant about Marin him Don
Michael Corleone controlled his emotions perfectly. He listened patiently and carefully planned his moves. Nobody could know if he was angry or happy. You could easily assume that you had fooled Michael and not know he was watching you very carefully. Michael would have been told about how Carlo bashed his wife around and how Sonny bashed Carlo almost to death. So Michael knew that Carlo had the motive to hit back at Sonny. All Michael had to do was to pretend he did not care or know about how Sonny was murdered. Michael just needed some proof that Carlo was a traitor. Once Michael knew Carlo was a traitor he nailed him such that Carlo could not escape his fate. Michael had absolute control over his emotions but was also very smart.
They kept showing Hyman Roth on here; Michael did play somewhat dumb with him, but Roth was no fool and knew how to play the game even better with the Rosatto brothers incident and the attempt on Michael’s life and Michael’s attempt on Roth’s life.
@6:15 Giving Connie a hard time? Connie was a brat that didn't know her place. Sonny was a fool coming between a man and his wife. His mom warned him not to interfere. Knowing Sonny had her back made her more insubordinate and disrespectful. The Godfather never interfered. She shouldn't have called Sonny. Sonny cheated on his wife and she accepted it. Connie refused to accept it from Carlo.
People like you are so fucking stupid. None of that mattered in terms of the family. There are deeper things at play, even to the point of discounting cheating on spouses. You have to understand this kind of family and its relationships. People like you are about as deep as a puddle on the counter. Morons.
You can counter it by playing humble. If someone that would otherwise be an adversary seems to be glued to your word & deed, and gives you praise or more responsibility, tread lightly. Show gratitude, but downplay your abilities and insights. Undercut their attempts to placate your ego by deflating it to them. THEN... watch them. They may get the message that you're on to them. If so, hostilities will get more overt. If they missed it, remeber Machiavelli's lesson on enemies; "keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer". Cultivate a strong ally close to them, and win them over. Make it personal for them, and alienate them from your enemy by putting them in the bad light. Then, when the hostilities become more open, they will choose you and be easily cut out afterward. If possible, make them the patsy for the whole affair. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk on "How to Be a Successful Sociopath".🤣
When you shut up and watch. You gather intel. Knowledge is power. Michael , Tom and Vito knew this. Sonny was only brilliant when he was levelheaded. His kryptonite is his temper. He couldnt think straight. Hes dangerous. Men like that are easily controllable.

It was so messed up what Carlo did to Sonny. Sonny befriended him, introduced her to his baby sister.
But Carlo was a weak little man who was probably easy to turn. Jealous and bitterness can cause terrible outcomes.
Carlo had a low IQ.
Yes
BUT
he felt too comfortable slapping up Connie and when she was pregnant?
He had a death wish

He thought that by marrying into the family, that he would get a piece of the pie.
That's a funny Otto von Bismarck story. That's why you should ALWAYS read the treaty. You never know if there is secretly a genius sentence in there.

Law 35: Master the Art of Timing
Which states: Never seem to be in a hurry-hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time. Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends that will carry you to power. Learn to stand back when the time is not yet ripe, and to strike fiercely when it has reached fruition.

In other words:

Outstanding!
Carlo's suit was a fashion betrayal as well.
😂
You mean his proto leisure suit? It was 25 years ahead of its time.😅 (They did have broadly similar outfits like that in the late 1940s-early 50s).
Carlo’s fashion choices made it clear that he wasn’t a “company man”. All of the other members of the family were dressed for success. Carlo was dressed to impress. I believe the present day term is “peacocking”.
@@sardonicus76 in the novel, that described Carlo. We read about his muscles, hair and skin tone, giving him a narcissistic vibe.
@@markbarret6836 just like Gianni R , who played him . Pompous ass.
You could also see this as a mistake by vito for not seeing that Carlo wanted more and therefore making him jealous and betraying Sonny which ended in his death.
Of course Vito saw it. But he was in no position to stop it during his near-death recovery.
Stopping it should have been up to Tom Hagen. Tom himself reflects in the book... paraphrasing ≈ _"If Genco were still Consigliere then he would have seen this trap for Sonny a mile away"._

Watching the way that Michael and Don Vito let Carlo think that he was safe and that he outsmarted them reminds me of the recent episode between Vladimir Putin and Yevgen Prigozin , when he tried to take control of Russia and after the "peace" deal that the Belorussian president orchestrated he thought he was safe and that Putin was gonna let it slide , he felt like the king of Russia , he felt unstoppable just like Carlo did , but then he fallen on Putin's trap and died on a plane crash.
Poor chap only wanted a good meal and a few drinks then he went and reincarnated himself as The Hollywood Godfather who’s life ran parallel with Forrest Gumps… strange days..😂

This is the second time you did a vid on this topic, but this time you went into more detail!!
The birthday party was December 41 . The wedding was 45 almost 46 . So there was a long courtship.
She would have been a teenager 15 , 16 maybe
Constanzia was born in 1922. If Vito's party was December 7th, 1941, she was about 18 or 19.
@@lasprince thanks. 18 19 . And then married at 22 .

those analises are as great as the film itself. masterpieces.
Videos like this cause me to gain respect for common working people, who know the value of earning an honest day's pay for an honest day's labour. They don't have drivers, don't have mistresses, don’t have ulterior motives.
What they have, are clean consciences.
I was watching this movie with someone who knew nothing about the movie or the mafia. As soon as the gunmen apoear at the tollbooth she screams 'carlo set him up!' 😂 i mean this is sooooo easy
But Michael didn't watch the movie.
@joenovak2815 all he needed to know was the bear bones of what happened
You shoulda made that woman an offer she couldn’t refuse. Dude you should have asked her to marry you!
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
Love your videos man keep it up!!
Inner circle is right.
Sonny had a genius for urban guerilla warfare. He managed to fight the five families to a stalemate. They had to eliminate him
But it was planned years in advance. The placed him as a long term asset .
The way his abuse of connie stopped just after sonny die . Thsts the key
Do we know that the abuse actually stopped, though?
@@robertbusek30 yes in the novel it discussed in greater detail. Before sonny even with vito and camellia.
As soon as sonny died and when Michael came home , Michael made friends with him , and brought him into the business,
In the book the vito owned the street all the houses outside the main house , Michael and kay in one , Tom and his family in another.
Michael offered them a house beside him and kay and carlo bond over being the outsiders with Tom's wife ( she's a tiny part) .
But Michael and kay discussed it .
We learn later that vito and Michael had put it together, Michael was doing that keep your friends close but your enemy's closer .thing .
Agh that farce you played with my sister * . It wasn't his nature. He stopped cheating as well . And the call from that woman and the arguments were all to provoke.
Once sonny eas gone there was no need to . She was a good wife and the mother of his children and she loved him . She knew him for years ,before snd even sonny was surprised. Nit vito he had a bad feeling from the beginning.
@@robertbusek30it’s said in the book
@@robertbusek30
It would have made Carlo the slime realise if he continued the Corleone family would become resentful & suspicious that he caused sonny's demise.
Also the novel affirms it stopped.
Carlos knew he didn’t have plot armor 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I read Mario Puzo's book. Then I watched the three movies...starting in 1972.
My two favorite books the Art of War and 48 Laws of Power was exercised greatly in the whole Godfather Saga. Great video
I like your videos of the 48 laws of power
Agreed! This guy has always been the king of examples, when it comes to the L.O.P.
As Brett Maverick once said...."There's no such thing as a friendly little game of cards."
there's a deleted scene where he gets strangled to death by Clemenza after he gets into a car. It's in the Brazilian Portuguese dvds.
That scene was deleted? Not to offend "delicate" viewers?
It was never deleted. The windshield kicking scene has always been iconic.

Sonny didnt lack the skills to totally defeat the 5 famlies. He in fact was planning on rubbing them all out. Thats why barzini had to strike first
Sonny was balls out aggressive in war. He was cunning but he was nowhere near as cunning as his father and his younger brother.
@Predators--cz2fb to be fair he had tom instead of genco and thanks to vitos tactical blunder he didn't have luca brazi
@@Predators--cz2fb yes because of his hot disposition.. he needed a cunning consigliari ..

Another excellent episode 🇮🇹🤌🏼🎬
I learn new things everyday on this beautiful master piece watched this movie over 50 times currently reading the book 85% done this is pure golden then book is so amazing! Well detailed
So the initial abuse that led to Sonny’s beatdown of Carlo wasn’t part of the farce?
No. That abuse was just Carlo being an asshole. No motive behind it

Thank you for the introduction to Giodarno Bruno. A very interesting character and someone I will study in future.
In the movie Michael wasn't sure so he asked was it this guy or that guy. Once he said Barzin his fate was sealed. At that point Michael found out for sure and lost interest in talking to Carlo. Carlos days were numbered. There was no way Michael was going to look over Carlo's betrayal of his brothers death.
Now, I've got a Question for YOU...
And Be Honest...
If You were a "Mob Boss"
How long would You survive??

I will survive for decades like Vito, I'm a Filipino and i grew up here since i was born and raised. Culture here was totally different, but to answer the question i will last until i get old and retire like my grandfather did.
I see there are some scenes that are not in the remastered film. Where can we watch the original film?
I love these episodes. Why stop?
This movie never gets old
Sonny takes pity on Carlo.
Carlo has Sonny taken out.
The Lt. Columbo strategy!
I always wondered too how Michael knew😊
@lancehuffman2393 it couldn’t have been a coincidence that Sonny was killed on the parkway after hearing that his sister had got beaten up again. It seemed like the gunmen were prepared to take out a large number of men and not just Sonny.

Thank you for posting this video. It answered some questions for me about The Godfather. (Inner circle) lol
MY GOODNESS!! These laws of power are amazing and right on point!! Conquering your enemies in one felled swoop!! Seem dumber than your mark!! These are priceless!!
Who was Carlo dialing on the phone when Michael walked in? Someone posted earlier on one of these podcasts- Carlo was calling his mistress to tell her he wouldn’t be coming over and would be delayed.
Yes, in the book he was talking to one of his girlfriends. He was right about not coming over.
You think there’s any significance in the fact that when the situation that led to Sonny’s death happened his mistress called and said she wouldn’t be able to make it and then when it was Carlos turn He instead called the mistress saying he wouldn’t be able to make it I feel like there something to that
@@TheVillainBlackH All I can realistically pull from it is coincidence. Maybe Puzo was inferring that many of Carlos' problems were tied up in his awful habits.
@@bradjohnson482 just goes to show you how amazing and layered the story was to be tryina tie things together to see if there’s any significance I’m glad my Parents watched this movie with me multiple times as a kid
I swear an oath of fidelity to the Culture Mafia.
On the souls of my grandchildren (places hand over heart) , I will not be the one to use what I learn here on this channel for nefarious purposes.
Individuals who become so comfortable with whatever the situation might be, that individual believes that "I'm not gonna get caught" unfortunately they are caught 😔
Everybody knew Sonny had a temper. The Turk called up and told Sonny to control his famous temper. Notice that Rizzi sounds like Pazzi, the family that challenged the Medici family.
Brave family
Misdirection is essential, equal parts Machiavellian and Sun Tzu.
Great video
Excellent analysis. Of course it was obvious that it was Carlo who had Santino set up, but they way Don Vito and Don Michael played him until the time comes (too bad Don Vito had passed), it was really machiavellian. I would like to suggest you, to make a big analysis on Don Carmine Luppertazi Jr and how he used the "Laws of Power", in order to pretend the weak & fool, but ended up eliminating two bosses (Don Phil and Tony) and taking over everything. If you rewatch carefully the "Meeting of Minds", the "Last Sit-Down" and even the first scene Carmine appears with Johnny Sack and his father, you 'll see, that it was Carmine all along!!!
Hope you 'll find it interesting and make it soon!!!
Thank you in advance

Thank you team culture mafia for this amazing content this is not ordinary blog or video this is the real men strategy
In the Great Game it's not enough 2B ruthless.
One must be cunning, knowledgeable & patience.
The fact that Sonny didn't totally beat Carlo within an inch of his life was seen as a sign of weakness by the other families.
That's a possibility as the Italian culture especially the Italian mob culture could have deemed it as a weakness or something intolerable I guess!!
It's a sign of weakness but not in the way you think. Sonny revealed his temper is his weakness and unfortunately, this resulted in his doom.
Always thought he was planted to have a guy straregically on the inside of the Corleone family.
How did Michael know? Puzo nd Coppalo told him! :)
😂😂good one
But when you think about it, the family would have looked much better had 1) Sonny been wise enough not to associate with Carlo, 2) The family ensured not to put Carlo in a position where he'd be capable of hurting the family...Maybe try to encourage Connie Corleone to find someone who isn't so untrustworthy and ambitious? Maybe you don't put someone like Carlo in a position where he has so little importance that he'll consider betrayal as a potential good decision, yet important enough to be able to betray the family in a way that ends up costing Sonny's life. I know that this is incredibly easy to say in hindsight, but it's equally as easy to pretend that everything that happens in the movie is the result of brilliant plans by the Corleone family...I mean, yes the movies are in large part about Vito and Michael's plans, but the very reason why they have to make those plans are because they ended up tough situations that they hadn't perfectly anticipated. Obviously you can't always control what your enemies are going to do, it doesn't mean the Corleones are weak or stupid, it, I just think that, while the plans that we see take place on screen may seem to be brilliant and very well coordinated, we shouldn't forget about the bad planning or lack of planning that led them in such situations to begin with. Maybe they aren't such absolute masters of the "rules of power" and such...Now let's be clear, I'm not saying that these aren't amazing movies :p.
These videos do tend to portray Vito and Michael as the greatest strategic geniuses to walk the earth.
Carlo had already shown severe disrespect towards Don Corleone by his treatment towards Connie, of course he'd be a traitor to the family in other ways. This would be obvious to any mobster with half a brain for the game
After reading the book and watching the film I have one question. Carlo was messily garroted by Clemenza. How did Michael stage his death/ disguise the cause of Carlo’s death for the funeral? Was his murder blamed on another family? I don’t recall this being explained. Connie clearly knew but no one paid attention.
I wonder what Don Vito would have done?
He didn't. The official story was Carlo had run off, abandoning Connie and Victor. Connie filed for divorce and got it. Only Connie and the capos know the truth, as does Michael.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.
he did"t know ,he was bluffing. if he knew then why did he ask carlo who came to him?. he knew who the other treader was but not sure about carlos. see if carlos said the wrong name becase he was scared ,then mike would have knew he was wrong about carlos.
INCORRECT! When Tom informs Vito of Sonny's fate his reply is, "I want ALL inquiries made."
You're wrong on this one, Steve. Vito does say "I want no inquiries made." Go watch it again. "All inquiries" makes no sense when put together with his next sentence "I want no acts of vengeance". Or Google it.
@@bradjohnson482 As my favorite movie, I've seen like 50+ times, I'll take your suggestion...a reason to watch it again.
@@SteveBerryhill I watched it again yesterday after verifying what the Don said to Hagen. 😁
@@bradjohnson482 Good man. I'm still watching it again. Thanks.
Carlo was able to put the plan together cuz he knew Sonny ran every time his sister called so he was able to setup time and location. Sonny was smash mouth that’s why he was good at planning wartime strategies, as he said “hit ‘em hard and hit ‘em fast!”, and that made Sonny predictable and that’s why Vito was always hesitant about Marin him Don
Michael Corleone controlled his emotions perfectly. He listened patiently and carefully planned his moves. Nobody could know if he was angry or happy. You could easily assume that you had fooled Michael and not know he was watching you very carefully.
Michael would have been told about how Carlo bashed his wife around and how Sonny bashed Carlo almost to death. So Michael knew that Carlo had the motive to hit back at Sonny. All Michael had to do was to pretend he did not care or know about how Sonny was murdered. Michael just needed some proof that Carlo was a traitor. Once Michael knew Carlo was a traitor he nailed him such that Carlo could not escape his fate.
Michael had absolute control over his emotions but was also very smart.
I remember when I first saw the movie that Carlo set it up. Wondering why they didn't kill him. I hadn't heard of the 48 Law's Of Power then. 😊
Carlo called Beating Connie"obedience training". smh
They kept showing Hyman Roth on here; Michael did play somewhat dumb with him, but Roth was no fool and knew how to play the game even better with the Rosatto brothers incident and the attempt on Michael’s life and Michael’s attempt on Roth’s life.
This is one of the few movies that I know, where there are no winners or people that in reality a person would want to be. Except as a put on🎉
@6:15 Giving Connie a hard time? Connie was a brat that didn't know her place. Sonny was a fool coming between a man and his wife. His mom warned him not to interfere. Knowing Sonny had her back made her more insubordinate and disrespectful. The Godfather never interfered. She shouldn't have called Sonny. Sonny cheated on his wife and she accepted it. Connie refused to accept it from Carlo.
People like you are so fucking stupid. None of that mattered in terms of the family. There are deeper things at play, even to the point of discounting cheating on spouses. You have to understand this kind of family and its relationships. People like you are about as deep as a puddle on the counter. Morons.
You can counter it by playing humble. If someone that would otherwise be an adversary seems to be glued to your word & deed, and gives you praise or more responsibility, tread lightly. Show gratitude, but downplay your abilities and insights. Undercut their attempts to placate your ego by deflating it to them.
THEN... watch them. They may get the message that you're on to them. If so, hostilities will get more overt. If they missed it, remeber Machiavelli's lesson on enemies; "keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer".
Cultivate a strong ally close to them, and win them over. Make it personal for them, and alienate them from your enemy by putting them in the bad light. Then, when the hostilities become more open, they will choose you and be easily cut out afterward. If possible, make them the patsy for the whole affair.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk on "How to Be a Successful Sociopath".🤣
When you shut up and watch. You gather intel. Knowledge is power. Michael , Tom and Vito knew this. Sonny was only brilliant when he was levelheaded. His kryptonite is his temper. He couldnt think straight. Hes dangerous. Men like that are easily controllable.
