Zain Khan part 1 had more action and was perhaps more entertaining, but part 2 is the greater artistic achievement. What it says about the American experiment is profound.
7beers The way Part 2 juxtaposes the scenes of young Vito & Godfather Michael are a thing of beauty. The more Vito tries to save his son, the more he is, in fact, sowing the seeds for his ultimate destruction. It's Ironic (in the true sense of the word), Tragic (in the Greek sense of the word), and American (in the "American Dream Gone Bad" sense of the word)...
+GavinJ37 He was part of a lot of shitty movies over the last 15 years, you are right. However, Silver Linings was a really great movie and what was the result?: Another Oscar nomination after 20 years. Furthermore, he gave some of the best performances of all time and was part of some of the best movies of all time in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
+paint9er Please, that is not a big deal. Just because an actor teaches a once new actor, and one of them wins an award for a single role does not say anything about how "better" they are. They all have potential for skill in roles, and all take advice from many people, and what they have learned themselves
There are at least 2 things one can say about this performance that qualify it as great film acting: (1) DeNiro was able to create nuance and depth WHILE NOT EVEN SPEAKING HIS NATIVE TONGUE. He speaks, what, four words in English the entire film? That alone is an incredible feat. (2) More significantly, when one considers how by the time Godfather II was released in 1974 the character of Vito Corleone had been so INDELIBLY linked to Brando in the public consciousness, what DeNiro achieved here was remarkable. Most actors would find it impossible to play this role and not impersonate a young Brando. But DeNiro doesn't do that here: indeed, he plays a young VITO! How can anyone follow Brando? Well, DeNiro essentially did. Incredible, incredible acting. Added bonus: consider how different this performance is from DeNiro's role in Mean Streets (released the previous year - 1973). Yes they're both Italian hoods, but the CHARACTERS are different. Corleone is calculated, whereas Johnny Boy is an impulsive hothead.
Robert De Niro has great acting in The Godfather Part II. Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro became the first pair of actors to win Academy Awards for playing the same character until Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix became the second pair of actors to win Academy Awards for playing the Joker.
Now Rita Moreno and Ariana DeBose have joined the ranks for playing the same role in both versions of West Side Story and winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
In case you haven't already noticed, both Oscar-winning actors in the first 2 Godfather films were not there to accept the award. Marlon Brando won Leading Actor in 1973 and wasn't there and Robert De Niro wasn't here for this 1975 Supporting Actor win, either.
+Reds1921 it was just a coincidence. Brando also personally accepted his first Oscar ("On the Waterfront") Another coincidence is that Jake LaMotta (Robert de Niro) quotes Brando's iconic monologue from "On the Waterfront" in "Raging Bull"
Very disappointing that neither had the decency to accept such an important award. It's like cooking up a fancy dinner for an important guest and he/she doesn't show up. How would you feel?
+nonplayerzealot4 Even further than that. The Last Picture Show was his first biggie in 1971. Beautiful film. Of course, he was just a youngster. He got his very first nomination for it.
colderbeer ABSOLUTELY!! AND over the course of his career, he's only done a fraction of piece-of-shit movies in comparison to what De Niro has degraded himself in the past several years. More importantly though, I think that Bridges has been much more interesting and varied in his characterizations of the roles he's played throughout his career, than one-note, thuggish De Niro has.
Is it me or does it feel like everyone forgets De Niro was IN this movie and that he won an Oscar for it? Without a doubt he's the best part of Godfather 2.
I didn’t like the way he elbowed her so she can start reading the nominees. And did you see the way he almost blew it by almost announcing the winner before reading the names😄
Sometimes, it will cause them all to cancel each other out. Voters may hate to have to choose, so they give it to someone in another film. This was one exception, of course.
@@bijaykhanal1448 lol at best its Adam Driver who definitely deserves it. But i think Joaquin will still take it due to his long history of losses and its deserved and overdue. De Niro was good in Irishmen but not the best performance or better than Phoenix or Driver. Didn't even clip the Golden Globe nods
This is kind of sad/disturbing since Griffin O'Neal (son of Ryan, brother of Tatum} would later be involved in a motorboat accident which cased the death of Gian-Carlo Coppola (son of Francis). Very sad. You can ever see cracks developing between Ryan andTatum here which apparently still exist.
The O'Neal family is cursed. Tatum's mother, Joanna Moore, had a decades long drug problem so it's not all Ryan's fault. Her mother can be seen before all the problems kicked in as Sheriff Taylor's rich girlfriend in four episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show." She's really wonderful in that part and we can only wonder what if her life had taken a different turn. Her problems were staggering - booze, speed, multiple marriages and multiple arrests, loss of custody of her children, the loss of three fingers, etc. I still there there's a curse around Ryan O'Neal though.
I mean now a days if someone were to wear a low neckline dress like that no one would care. But yes if I had an 11 year old daughter and she wore a dress like that, I would make her go change her outfit immediately. But again that was Tatum's choice so I don't think it is anyone's business.

@@necroyoli08 I didn't say that every Oscar winner had to kiss the rear ends. Had John Cazale lived long enough, the Academy would likely have come through, just like they did for Al Pacino and Paul Newman after years and years of unrewarded first-class performances. As for Javier Bardem, he got his relatively early by kissing rear end. His acting sucks.
I would have loved to see Frank Pentangeli win an Oscar and give a speech. "I don't know nothin' about that.. Oh! I was in movie with Deniro but that was a long time ago". lol
No one was more deserving of the Best Supporting Actor that year than Robert De Niro. His portrayal of the young "Don Vito Corleone", had been widely acclaimed by both audiences and critics alike. He would have a long and illustrious career ahead of him.
De Niro was deserving but you gotta feel for bonafide Hollywood legend Fred Astaire getting his only (!!!) nomination here for a performance that won him both Golden Globe and BAFTA. That loss had to sting.
Usually, I'm not a big fan of the Oscars. But this award, during this particular year, went to the right guy. DeNiro's performance as a young Vito Corleone was spellbinding to say the least, and one of the most impressive performances that I have ever seen an actor deliver in a Hollywood movie.
@@ChrolliForever Maybe Cazale should have won. He is as good as De Niro. I would actually get to John Huston in Chinatown after De Niro and Cazale before Strasberg and Gazzo.
Lee Strasberg and Michael V. Gazzo most underrated actors ever. They were both extraordinary in the Godfather Part II. I wish they would also win an oscar for their performances✉️🏆
Wow. They fucked that up. They almost opened the god damn envelope before announcing the nominees, and then sped through the nominees in like 5 seconds.
RIP - Ryan O’Neil. I remember being rather shocked when I first learned of his tumultuous family and personal drama, after I’d seen Love Story and finding his screen presence so charming and likable. Felt so bad for his daughter Tatum and it scared me to learn the dark side of the famed Hollywood life. Then when I lived in Los Angeles in late 90’s and early 2000’s, I met Ryan O’Neil’s younger brother who I believe then was also an actor, who was dating Rebecca DeMornay. They were a very nice couple.
Fredo steals the scenes he is in GF2. That scene with him and Michael and Moe Green, for instance, is so incredibly powerful because of Cazale's nervous gestures throughout. The scene where Mike disowns him as family, same thing. Again, down in Cuba, Cazales steals the scenes. Deniro is my all time favorite actor, but Cazale should have got the award in this supporting actor category, this year. Deniro rightfully has his shining moment in the lead role category for his work in "Raging Bull"
I know it's just a matter of opinion but DeNiro's performance as young Don Corleone was IMO his most impressive. The way he replicated the work of Brando--arguably the best role from arguably the greatest actor in Hollywood history--speaks volumes to DeNiro's uncanny ability as an actor. Yes, DeNiro has performed great in other role,s including those you mentioned, but I think this was by far his most impressive work.
Lee Strasberg: "I didn't win? But... But... I PIONEERED Method acting!" De Niro: "Yeah, but look, I'm so method, that when I play Marlon Brando in a Godfather movie, I win an Oscar and then don't show up to collect it! That's going deep!"
The year after, Ryan O'neal should have been nominated for Barry Lyndon. What a transporting, thouroughly consistent (3hr film) and thouroughly funny performance.
His performance in Barry Lyndon funny??? Are you joking? Barry Lyndon was an asshole, I didn't find anything about him funny. Of course, I think the movie is absolutely stunning... one of the best movies I've ever seen, and arguably Kubrick's greatest work.
They're generations apart, but Jack Nicholson is sitting right next to Fred Astaire, two legends together bridging Hollywood's entire history. I wonder what they said to each other.
I was so glad when it did not go to Fred Astaire. I THOUGHT he had for doing nothing in The Towering inferno. Glad the academy voted for performance not sentimentality
Poor Tatum back then, you can see she is a nervous wreck around that controlling Ryan! And seriously, no one could help the kid get a professional haircut and appropriate dress!?? 🤔
Bob Hope. Ryan & Tatum O,Neal. Tatum is Ryan,s daughter. She played Paper Moon. Godfather, pt. 1 . Pt. 2, etc. Robert DeNiro. Title song Godfather is in the background.
De Niro wasn't even there! I can understand why: he probably thought the three of them would dilute the vote, being from the same film. Think Marlon Brando. For 1954 he was best actor for On the Waterfront. Three actors from that film were nominated for best supporting: none won. In 1973, the first film, Brando again won best actor, again three actors, all playing his sons, we're nominated: again none won. I keep forgetting his name, but the one "son" not nominated holds a unique record in that every film i the which he acted was nominated for best picture, including Godfather III, released 12 years after his death. The guy who played Fred; always forget his name.
It's a 5-hours epics by Academy Awards winner Bernardo Bertolucci. De Niro starred alongside Gerard Depardieu, Dominique Sanda, Stefania Sandrelli, Donald Sutherland and Burt Lancaster. The movie bombed at the box office in the USA and was not well received by American critics. However, it has recently undergone some massive re-evaluation - and deservedly so, because it is truly a stunning picture. By the way, it is said that Robert De Niro was on the set of the movie (the North Italy countryside) when he received the news and he celebrated with a toast with the whole cast and crew. :-)
Old godfather toke one and young god father toke one ....Also the kid must take Oscar for being The Godfather in his childhood And the Oscar Scene for the child When ( setting and look to window and singing the song) I love you mr. robert di Nero ❤️ from Egypt 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬

The Godfather Part II is not only the best gangster film, it's also not only one of the best films ever! But undeniably the best sequel ever!
Absolutely, I was about 16 and came home after a party and was still high, the film was on and it had an amazing effect on me.

Fredo steals the scenes he is in GF2. That scene with him and Michael and Moe Green, for instance, is so incredibly powerful because of Cazale's nervous gestures throughout. The scene where Mike disowns him as family, same thing. Again, down in Cuba, Cazales steals the scenes.
Deniro is my all time favorite actor, but Cazale should have got the award in this supporting actor category, this year. Deniro rightfully has his shining moment in the lead role category for his work in "Raging Bull"
I know it's just a matter of opinion but DeNiro's performance as young Don Corleone was IMO his most impressive. The way he replicated the work of Brando--arguably the best role from arguably the greatest actor in Hollywood history--speaks volumes to DeNiro's uncanny ability as an actor. Yes, DeNiro has performed great in other role,s including those you mentioned, but I think this was by far his most impressive work.
First Marlon Brando. And Now Robert De Niro. Both are two time Oscar winning actors and they starred together in The Score.
Lee Strasberg: "I didn't win? But... But... I PIONEERED Method acting!"
De Niro: "Yeah, but look, I'm so method, that when I play Marlon Brando in a Godfather movie, I win an Oscar and then don't show up to collect it! That's going deep!"
😂😂 but I am sure Lee strasberg is proud of de niro . De niro was also a student in actors studio
I'm sure Lee Strasberg felt very awkward, he's the best drama teacher.
The year after, Ryan O'neal should have been nominated for Barry Lyndon. What a transporting, thouroughly consistent (3hr film) and thouroughly funny performance.
His performance in Barry Lyndon funny??? Are you joking? Barry Lyndon was an asshole, I didn't find anything about him funny. Of course, I think the movie is absolutely stunning... one of the best movies I've ever seen, and arguably Kubrick's greatest work.
lol Ryan O'Neal looks like the young Jürgen Klinsmann xD
They're generations apart, but Jack Nicholson is sitting right next to Fred Astaire, two legends together bridging Hollywood's entire history. I wonder what they said to each other.
incredible how de niro is OFTEN absent to the ceremony as a nominee!
I was so glad when it did not go to Fred Astaire. I THOUGHT he had for doing nothing in The Towering inferno. Glad the academy voted for performance not sentimentality
Bro Jeff bridges was really handsome
Geez Coppola what a great prediction. Sad to see where both of their careers have gone now though
...
Robert De Niro is one of the greatest actor of all time period.
Renaud.. the greatest.
Very good but I like Al Pacino a little better.
1:37 They almost screwed up. They were about to announce the winner before they announced the nominees
Deniro was working on Novacento during the awards.
Very deserving acknowledgment, indeed.
Three actors from the same movie? Insane.
DeNiro stole al pacino the show :D
Vito Corleone and Joker won the oscar 2 times...best cinema carachters, and 4 focking fantastic actors
Who loved all three Godfather films hit like
THREE NOMITATED for the Godfather Part II
good god.
Jeff Bridges looked 40 for 30 years.
He was only like 25 back then
I'm sure glad they put the SIMULATED disclaimer in there lest something think it wasn't simulated.
1:48, he signalled her to announce d nominees
"..he will rich the film.. films out of made years to come" omg he could not have been more correct! :D
Poor Tatum back then, you can see she is a nervous wreck around that controlling Ryan! And seriously, no one could help the kid get a professional haircut and appropriate dress!?? 🤔
I was watching this live at the time--it was one of the few Oscar upsets I can think of.
I always prefered Lee Strasbergs performance as Hyman Roth.
Bob Hope. Ryan & Tatum O,Neal. Tatum is Ryan,s daughter. She played Paper Moon. Godfather, pt. 1 . Pt. 2, etc. Robert DeNiro. Title song Godfather is in the background.
I see Robbie is upholding the Vito Corleone tradition of not showing up to receive your Oscar huh
"Rockford De Niro in the 'Godfather, Part II." (Got it right the second time, though.)
Astaire should've won for GHOST STORY.
My God, what a category!!!
De Niro wasn't even there! I can understand why: he probably thought the three of them would dilute the vote, being from the same film. Think Marlon Brando. For 1954 he was best actor for On the Waterfront. Three actors from that film were nominated for best supporting: none won. In 1973, the first film, Brando again won best actor, again three actors, all playing his sons, we're nominated: again none won. I keep forgetting his name, but the one "son" not nominated holds a unique record in that every film i the which he acted was nominated for best picture, including Godfather III, released 12 years after his death. The guy who played Fred; always forget his name.
He wasn't there because he was shooting a film in Italy.
1900
John Cazale
It's a 5-hours epics by Academy Awards winner Bernardo Bertolucci. De Niro starred alongside Gerard Depardieu, Dominique Sanda, Stefania Sandrelli, Donald Sutherland and Burt Lancaster. The movie bombed at the box office in the USA and was not well received by American critics. However, it has recently undergone some massive re-evaluation - and deservedly so, because it is truly a stunning picture. By the way, it is said that Robert De Niro was on the set of the movie (the North Italy countryside) when he received the news and he celebrated with a toast with the whole cast and crew. :-)
Old godfather toke one and young god father toke one ....Also the kid must take Oscar for being The Godfather in his childhood
And the Oscar Scene for the child When ( setting and look to window and singing the song)
I love you mr. robert di Nero ❤️ from Egypt 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
Who let girl to wear this dress… wtf
Crazy, because there were 3 other nominees, but the guy that played Don Fanucci should have won...he dominated every scene he was in.
Who’d ever known at the time that Tatum and dad had such a toxic relationship!
