The scene of the immigrants on the ship standing up and looking at the statue of liberty with all the hope of the world is getting right at my heart. Very very moving.
the statue is the leitmotiv. In the beginning of the clip is hope, at the end Vito is in Jail for quarantine, and life shows his trhue face. Vito watches the statue. What does he feels we can only argue.
It's distressing, because everything they do is in vain... Because they soon realize that they only exchanged the poverty of their countries for the poverty of America. Lucky Luciano made this quote.
At the beginning, that may have been true but they paved the way for a better life for their future generations.
Beacause your country was built by inmigrants and ironically now inmigrants are hated.
me too
I always got the feeling that the “quarantine” was just a means for them to give Vito a temporary place to stay, since he was an unaccompanied child who didn’t speak English.
Huh! I never thought of that before, but it makes sense!
@@mollylea2643 I had a feeling about it when the doctor diagnosed Vito with smallpox. If Vito actually had smallpox then the medical staff would have been freaking out.
@@Mia-dt3gl Yeah! Plus there was no sign of smallpox on that body.
Smallpox was still a thing back in 1901 and they took it seriously because there weren't any immunizations for it back then.
@@KneelB4Bacon My point was that if Vito actually had smallpox then the doctor would not have been nonchalant about the diagnosis.
Loved this transition from Vito to his grandson.
You can see the resemblance too.
@@MrThomas564ridiculous casting detailed.
One of my favorite scenes in the whole series. True art.
gabagool
I AGREE!!!!!! ❤ I love the song that sing the child! 🥰
@@andrewa6786 bring it ova ere
@Channel2 and it works!
I think Coppola made this scene also as a tribute to his ancestors.. who migrated from Italy to United States of America.
Scene is so convincing that I feel as if I'm looking at some real life ancestors
21st Century
Technically they are
Yet you disbelieve black slaves shackled and chained on slave ships brought to AMERIKKKA by WHITE RACIST SLAVE OWNERS..ABD OWNED BY Y'ALL'S FOUNDING FATHERS
My dad said when he was returning on the troop ship from WWII sailing into New York harbor, all his fellow tough combat troops were on deck to see the Statue of Liberty too, crying.
I bet…. Heroes that we shall never forget.
@@altt-check1-2sadly they fought on the wrong site
Shut up enno
@@Enno9lol hush kid
@@slaktheking69 no. It's the truth
This sequence is just unbelievably good
Not really.
@@SuspiciousFaceyes really
@@SuspiciousFacestfu and go watch your Marvel movies
*incredible
The genius part of the music score is, the climax part has been played exactly when the camera shows the face of the immigrants where you can read hopelessness, fear and unknown future. Many director would have hit the climax when the statue shown but this is seriously a master piece that he emphasize absolutely another point with this amazing music.
Most immigrants certainly face fear of the unknown future, but hopelessness is definiely not common. In fact I read the faces of those immigrants as exactly the opposite, fear yes, but at the same time hope for a better future.
@@iamlegq i was about exactly to mention this, i dont see hopelessness, they're looking straight at a monument to opportunity
@@iamlegq i can see both. In every case, it's always sad that you have to leave your country because there is literally famine there, and land on another place where you don't know nobody and nobody understands, you have to learn their language. I'm Italian and I can tell you there are lots of old popular songs about hopeless people getting on boats alone and without any money. The first thing the immigrants saw in the distance, the statue of liberty, that is the symbol of hope
Does anyone realize that he is a stranger and terrified when he sings but later grows to own new york? "CHILLING"
Very touching scene, the life of a child escaping from death threat in his home land.
Always some people side with oppressor but also is some people who said that is not right and with all risks, help the boy to escape to safe. Under the circumstance joined to thousand of people at that times came to America.
Vito came as an orphan build a family, have his own empire and lived a long life, died among his loved ones. In contrast Michael had a family, became one the biggest figures of his time and died alone with grief and sorrow. What an usual transition in two generations.
The Statue of Liberty had only been there for 15 years at that point.
Of course, 2000 years later, George Taylor will find it damaged and half-buried on the beach.
At that point, the statue probably wasn't even green.
@@cariocabrasileiro21googled it. Said that it was completely green by 1906.
Yous maniacs!
@@oliverallen2565 Vito arrived at 1901
Godfather 2 has such an unique touch to it
Oreste Baldini the actor who played Vito as a child only stared in one other movie after this but has a long career dubbing movies in Italian including the Madagascar movies and even Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
Thanks for the info. I was wondering what happened to him.🙂
I love this!
I always liked how brief the Communion scene is, and how abruptly it cuts to the party scene. It helps drive home the point that this day isn't really about Anthony. The true purpose of all this pomp and circumstance is to prop up Michael's image as a loving patriarch and humanitarian, so that Senator Geary will help him push through his casino deal.
This is one of the many scenes that brought me to tears from this film.
My great grandparents from both sides came through ellis island in the early 1900’s from Italy. My grandpa on my dad’s side would always tell us stories that his my great grandpa told him. Ellis island is a very emotional place. That’s where many of our ancestors began their American dream.
the arrival of Mestizo Hispanics 100 years later parallels with the arrival of Southern Italians in the US because we came here, saw the land, and knew we had the opportunity to pursue the American dream just like yall did during the 19th and 20th century ❤🙏
@@DetectiveJames2468 same with the East European Jews who were escaping the bloody pogroms of the 19th and early 20th century
Poor boy, alone in a strange country. 😢
Between 0:45-0:49 it gave me chills what a powerful symbol that scene represented.
One of the best scenes in the history of cinema alongside "Tears in the rain", from Blade Runner
To me it was this and the dark knight Joker Robbery
I don’t know why; but this scene always makes my eyes full and about to cry. Very moving.
because you have empathy
I ALWAYS tear up in this scene, and the name of the composition “the immigrant” reminds me of when this country was a BEACON of hope for the world.
This scene really touches your American spirit
This scene is compelling ♥️. Part of this scene was in Nora Ephron’s compilation film tribute to NYC at the first Oscars after 9/11, and it nearly fucking broke me 😩
Me too, Chatelaine 1928. ❤❤❤❤❤
FUCKING GREAT MOVIE AND MUSIC! ❤🤩 I Love the song that child sing!!!!!! 🥰 MASTERPIECE
3:24 such a beautiful shot
An image where the window frame represents prison bars as he looks at the very symbol of liberty itself
Idk why but I always shed a tear in this scene ❤
From pain comes greatness! So strange!❤😢
1:47 the guy fiddling while waiting is the best part
I'm in America now! -Vito Andolini ( Corleon )
I bet that young boy is going to grow up to be a model American citizen.
More civilized than some of the politicians tbh.
My zia said that when she and her brothers were on deck that they had no idea what the statue of liberty was, and while everyone was cheering, they were confused. Very funny story, they immigrated here in the 60s
When they used to make movies. Now nothing
The Immigrants standing up to look at the Statue of Liberty gets me every time. That is a beautifully filmed scene and the music just touches your heart. Because of the Godfather movies and Apocalypse Now along with several other of his films, I will never turn my back on Francis Ford Coppola. He didn't become a filmmaker to be rich and famous. He became a filmmaker because it was his passion.
This ship is now a restaurant docked at Penns Landing on Delaware River near Center City Philadelphia. The lettering "MOSHULU" is different now, but it is the same ship.
Best scene ever
0:11 A spear passes through lady liberty. Shattering the illusion of what she stands for.
A lesson Vito will have to learn the hard way. America is not the land of opportunity
This movie IS a Real masterpiece
In real life on Ellis Island the X inside a circle that gets drawn on Vito's coat meant suspected mental illness.
I think that was the case here remember his mom even said he was slow when trying to barter his life. Vito was just very shy & suffered social anxiety due to the entire process.
Remember Balki from “Perfect Strangers” on “TGIF” in the 1980s?
Well he too arrived in the U.S. at Ellis Island Vito Corleone style from Europe according to the show’s intro and opening credits.
4:20 Who told the organist to play Nino Rota?
The child sings in sicilian, not in italian. For sure, people of that time did not speak italian at all. Just dialect. Local dialect. Italy does exist since mid 1800; italians came later.
What dialect is Standard Italian? Is it Florentine?
@@danielcarvalho1453Standard Italian come mostly from medieval Florentine (so from Vulgar Latin). Here in Italy Dante Alighieri (1200/1300) is known as "Father of the Italian language".
I had dinner on the boat “the mushulu “ that you see in the first scene. It’s now a restaurant in philly
Gracias ❄️
A place that represents second chances
Masterpiece what's the name of the song he sings in Ellis Island
Lu sciccareddu is the name of the song. I love it too...
@@MrLibertoalessandro gratzi
The Statue of Liberty that immigrants saw from the ship brought a new sense of exhilaration and anxiety to the new world, and there is no doubt that this was the driving force behind the creation of today's New York and the United States.
message from Japan
Just found out that my great-great parents were from Sweden and this is bittersweet for me, funny thing is, their son was a US soldier and he had an affair with my great grandmother in London in 1944, so yeah, I’m Anglo-American lol
Godfather waltz theme played by the organ at 4:23 when Vito receives communion.
0:45 favorite part
Reminded that An American Tail filched this scene entirely.
Yeah it did
i came here right after watching 21 Savage movie trailer its dope how he recreated the scene Vito staring at the ny lady of liberty 🔥🔥
Un bambino diventato boss , un boss diventato legenda
Magnífica cena dos olhares dos imigrantes ao verem o gigantismo de New York e sua Estátua da Liberdade. ❤
Vito tries to be a good man but he is constantly drawn back into the world of crime by his past and his Sicilian associations.
What song is this
This is the modern version ruclips.net/video/3ey-EOpC0yc/видео.html
Does anyone know the name of the song he is singing?…
ruclips.net/video/SB5vDCk5w8M/видео.htmlsi=mlFSdYiywzWMdNcc
At 2:20 anyone know the actor playing the "what is your name" guy?
Answering my own question... it's Richard Bright. He resembles Sterling Hayden to me...
No matter what people say, USA's politicians had way more compassion by accepting immigrants from around the world in the end of 19th century wnd beginning of 20th century
Vito Andolini da Corleone
The american dream
Was watching a trump video about mass deportation and this scene popped up in my head. People come here to live out there dreams. We shouldn’t rob them of that for greed.
Me trying to fight capitalist US propaganda
*seeing the Statue of Liberty with the godfather theme playing
Damn this US propaganda got hands
this scene represents the American Dream; that anyone can make it in America -- rich or poor, immigrant or not. TBH, late-stage American capitalism is straight up antithetical to this.
So cute
2024
Why did he draw on him in chalk?
suspected illness
This is what legal immigration looks like!
lol
Most immigration was legal then because the laws were very basic. People could be denied entry for certain financial, criminal, medical, or moral reasons. Authority to deport someone who should not have been admitted only lasted one year. There were no quotas until 1921 and no law requiring permission to cross the border or remain in the U.S. until 1929.
A lot of them were illegal
