      I don't know how anyone can miss that. With Michael Corleone, his deadpan face, although it barely changes, it speaks volumes. And his looks, mannerisms and gaze is more important than his actual dialogue. It's very important to pay attention to all of that.

      Neri gets the message from Michael's expression, but seems a bit sorrowful in receiving it. Neri followed orders, but unlike the man he replaced, Luca Brasi, Neri had a bit of a conscience.

    What you're missing is that this movie is covering actual history in Cuba. The night in question is when Fidel Castro took over. And the mafia actually did have a deal with the previous Cuban government to run Casinos. But once the Communist took power, those plans went out the window. This is why the mafia turned their attention to Las Vegas.

    They couldn’t get the actor for Clemenza to come back so they killed him off between the movies, and replaced him with Frankie
    They couldn’t get Marlon Brando to come back, so they casted Deniro as Young Vito
    I believe in both cases, it was money issues.
    Also, killing Fredo was never “off the table” Mike just didn’t want to hurt his mother. So he waited till mom died, then did it anyway.😂

    As a kid, I saw GONE WITH THE WIND at a HUGE theater, the like of which doesn't exist anymore (late '60s). At Intermission, everyone got up to stretch, go to the restroom, go to the concession stand. They had a small lounging area screened off to each side where you could sit and talk, and still see when the film began again. It was great! Nothing like it today.

    That wasn’t the “power of Michael’s look” that ‘convinced Pentangeli’ not to testify against him.
    Michael arranged to bring Pentangeli’s brother across from Italy. He was sitting beside Michael. This action (bringing him over to ‘support’ Frank) was actually a warning to him that he has his brother… and who knows what might happen to him if Frank testifies.
    It was intimidation and passive threat.

    John Cazale, who played Fredo, died at a young age while filming The Deer Hunter. He was engaged to Meryl Streep. Though a very short career he starred in Godfather I, II, The Deer Hunter and Reservoir Dogs. Four of the biggest movies of the decade and arguably all time. His cancer came out of remission during The Deer Hunter.
    Brando wouldn't come back for the one scene.

      Pacino was PRETTY good?? Michael Corleone's character, and Al Pacino's performances MADE both movies, and I would say are arguably Pacino's greatest performances. PRETTY good. I agree that Brando is the greater actor, as far as natural talent, but Al comes a close second. That's why Coppola fought so hard to keep Pacino as Michael when the studio wanted a tall, blonde, Nordic, non-Italian to play Michael. He knew against the entire industry's push to take over the role and cast who they wanted, that Al was the best & most talented to pull it off brilliantly, and of course he did

    • @p.marcusavatare3658

    The guy that chokes out Frankie says, "Michael Corleone says hello." , but he doesn't kill Frankie. Frankie was supposed to THINK that Michael was behind it. It was, in fact Hyman Roth.
    Vito kills Fanucci, in part, because Fanucci CLAIMED to be a member of The Black Hand, but Vito sees Fanucci get his throat cut. No harm came to the two boys that did it, so Vito realises that Fanucci is a member of nothing. He sees no reason to pay him, so he kills him.
    Michael never forgave Fredo, but he did forgive Connie, so he 'accepted' Fredo to please her.
    I'm not sure, but I think that Connie is told that Fredo drowned.

    Francis Ford Coppola had two films nominated for best picture that year: this and "The Conversation". Don't know if that had ever happened before or since. It is still difficult to pick a favorite between parts 1 and 2, but a slight edge to the first simply because of the masterful and memorable set pieces. Great reaction.

    33:07 Not having Brando during the closing flashback likely came down to money. For example, he was cut from "Superman II" because he wanted to be paid the same amount as he was given for the 1st film ($1M) . . . even though all of his footage had already been shot. They even had to reshoot a stand-in for his hand because they could not recycle any of his shots from "Superman: The Movie".

Salkind and Spengler cut Brando because he wanted to be paid the same amount for "Superman II" as he was for "Superman", even though all of his footage was shot and ADR work was completed. Donner being out of the way doubtless made doing so easier. But however you want to split hairs, Brando was looking for another big payday in exchange for zero new work.

    Plenty of movies over the years have had intermissions. The first one I remember seeing with one was Titanic in 1997, but that’s a tradition that goes way back.

    The hit on Michael was by Pantangeli, but it was a double cross set up by Roth. He didn't want to kill Fredo, but he knew he had to. Pacino and DiNiro never did a scene together, until the great Michael Mann movie, Heat! Ironically, his first big feature, was a movie starring James Can( Santino) called, Thief! Michael Mann was ahead of the curve! He also did the first full movie featuring Hannibal Lector called, Manhunter!Directed by Coppola, all his immediate family are actors/directors. Sophia, Nicolas Cage, and Connie...is Rocky Balboa's wife! Coppola also did Apacalypse Now, and The Outsiders, chock packed full of future stars! Also in this series, Sonny's iligitimate son, with the woman he's screwing behind the door, plays a major role in 3! In part 2 the FBI agent is Harry Dean Stanton! He's been in every movie made since the silent era!😅😅😅. Outsiders, Red Dawn, Godfather 2, Dillinger, Green Mile, Alien, and others. RIP to him. The guy Carlo, is still alive and very well connected, and has avoided death, even in foreign countries, because of his Ties. He wrote 1 or 2 books, best sellers, about his businesses, casinos, mob ties, and various stories. He tells it point blank, who and why, killed JFK, RFK, and Monroe. And no one has tried to sue him from the Monroe estate or the Kennedys, because they know every word he said, is true! And they dont want him spilling his guts off, in open court! Type in here, carlo from godfather, tells mob stories! The hit on Sonny, they guy that designed the hit and all the exploding blood speefs, he said, he never put so many creepy ass blood spleefs on anyone ever before! A masterclass of comedy writing, movie was made in the 90s as a semi parody of this movie, well woth watching. Starring Vito, Clemenza from part 2, and Matthew Broderick called, The Freshman. Well worth watching! The movie guy's story is partially true. Frank Sinatra was a huge star in the 30s and 40s but wanted to break into acting, and in good parts but his star was fading. He and his crew started hanging out with huge mob people. They were known as The Rat Pack. Dean, Him, Peter, Sammy, and Joey. Suddenly frank gets parts in 2 of the biggest movies ever....From Here to Eternity and The Manchurian Candidate! Vito was better than Michael, because he was a family man first, before he was a boss. And this is one series, where part 2 is better than 1!!!

    The part of Connie's fiancé, Merle Johnson, was played by Troy Donahue, whose given name was Merle Johnson.
    I think the attempted strangling of Frank Pentangeli (they call him "Five Angels" because Pentangeli means five angels) was a calculated botch. They wanted Frank to live through it and be traumatized, with the words "Michael Corleone says hello" still ringing in his ears. Hyman Roth figured -- correctly -- this would turn Frank against Michael.
    I think "the look" Frank's brother gave him was to tell him it was shameful and wrong to break the law of omertà (silence). Frank got the message and committed suicide rather than blab.
    When the prostitute was killed, Michael's number one hitman, Al Neri, was present. He drugged the Senator and murdered the girl. No question.
    Michael killed Fredo because Fredo had allowed some of Roth's men, who had accompanied Johnny Ola, into the party at the beginning of the 1958 sequence at Lake Tahoe. Roth's men riddled Michael's bedroom with bullets. Fredo had set Michael up for a hit, but was too foolish to understand what he'd done until it happened. (He tells Michael this in the scene that ends with Michael's exiling him.) Michael tells Tom that he believes Roth's hitmen were killed right away "by someone close to us." I believe it was Fredo who killed them. He saw what had happened, realized that it was his fault, and couldn't allow the hitmen to talk.

    I'm glad you girls watched I and II, but skip III because it purely a money play demanded by the studio and you could tell Coppola's heart wasn't really in it, but the first two are masterpieces. I could be wrong, but I think this is the only time a movie and its sequel both won the Oscars for best picture? I can tell you for sure they are VERY realistic because my late father was a mob guy. I don't know if you've seen Goodfellas? I'll check, but if you haven't it's a MUST SEE. The Godfather's are about the hierarchy of the mob. Goodfellas is more about the street soldiers and associates. the latter (Goodfellas) was from my fathers era. Like the 60's and 70's. It's taken from a true story and he knew ALL of the characters in that film, only he was tougher than all of them. Not something to brag about. Just being honest. Anyway, I'll search to see if you reacted to it yet, If not, I highly recommend it.

    The fall of Michael Corleone is so tragic and intense to watch. To see how Vito started with nothing and died with his family around him, with Michael.. he loses everyone and ends up alone due to his obsessive quest for power and control. Losing sight of the importance of love, community and family.
    It really is important to recognize that Michael is simply a product of his time. The era of the Italian community looking out for each other that Vito was fortunate to grow up in was long gone.
    The next generation that Michael is currently in has been corrupted by Corporate America. This point was brought up in Part 1 where Vito sticking to his old school values is what got him attacked in the first place.
    Its all about making the most money now. Who cares about family values, being men of honor and loyalty.
    That's the tragedy of Michael's story and exactly why Vito never wanted him in this life. Vito was wise to know that the criminal underworld was changing and his time was up, so he did all he could to keep Michael out as almost the "savior" of the family. The one who would bring them out of that life of crime. Its a tragedy that not only was Michael dragged into the criminal underworld.. but he's left to suffer alone. Forced to become a monster just to survive. In the end, losing everything he held dear, stewing in his paranoia and regret. His lust for control and revenge against anyone that betrayed him cost him everything.

    From what I understand this is obviously a trilogy where one brother dies in each film, Sonny in the first, Fredo the second and in the third, well, it was supposed to be Tom Hagen in the final film but Duvall chose not to appear. So Michael loses his brothers and is left alone, try as he might to escape they kept dragging him back in....by the way Coppola could sum his movies up with one word, The Godfather was 'succession'...

    You’re not paying enough attention to the details and that’s why you keep saying that you didn’t see something coming. Michael gave Fredo the kiss of death. Who you called “that guy with Roth” was Johnny Ola, the one Fredo was working with.

    Castro was _NOT_ willing to work with the Mafia. This is why Michael was worried about the rebels winning the war and is exactly what happened in real life. Castro “nationalized” or took over the casino properties and kicked the Mafia out of Cuba. On the contrary, the Batista regime, which was a U.S. backed military dictatorship, was paid off by the mob for unparalleled freedom in Cuba. Also, the big business meeting in Cuba you see Michael attending happened in real life (obviously with the real mob, not Michael), as did the scene at the New Year’s Eve dance when troops entered announcing that Castro was taking over. Batista then fled Cuba. There’s a lot of real history in this film. The infamous “kiss of death” actually happened too but in totally different circumstances. A mob boss was in prison and gave the kiss to an underling who had betrayed the Family. I forget names though.

    Glad you did I & II and gave both 5's. I think they're the only movie and sequel yo BOTH win Oscars for best movie? Anyway, I'll check to see if you've done Goodfellas yet? If not it's a must. The Godfather's are about the hierarchy of the mob. Goodfellas is also a classic, but it's more about the street soldiers.

      @@ForceOfLightEntertainment Cool. You'll thank me for this. I'm not proud of it, but I'm not gonna lie. My father was a gangster during the era in Goodfellas and he knew all of the characters, only he was more respected and liked than all but Jimmy (De Niro). The movie gives you the impression Tommy (Pesci) was the most dangerous, but that part is exaggerated. He feared Jimmy and my father who got close when they did time in prison together. The crew in Goodfellas was from Queens and so was my fathers brother, that's how my father knew them so well, but we were from NYC. Anyway that was my fathers life from before I was born, but he made certain to keep me and my two brothers out of it. Just thought it would be interesting to know the father of one of your subscribers knew all those guys. I'd say "enjoy the movie", but I know you will.

    I agree both 1 and 2 were a 5. Part 3 is probably a 3 stars. IMO.

    Part 1 is a great film, no doubt. I suggest you read the novel which is five times better (even the police captain McCluskey is a three-dimensional character in it). And the silly things Part 2 contains (like Michael killing Fredo) aren't in the book.
    Shakespeare is something else.

    Cuba was a rich country until Castro ruined it. It could have been bigger than Vegas, what a shame. Throughout most our lives cruise ships just cruised around it. 90 miles from Florida, that is nothing. Such a waste. Amazing what could have been. You Ladies should watch Scareface to understand what Cuba became.

    When you watch as an adult, you have a completely different perspective. It is similar to the way abused children can receive some healing. The psychologist tries to get the adult child to relive the experience and see it from an adult perspective.
