I Watched The Most ICONIC FILM *THE GODFATHER* (1972) FOR THE FIRST TIME! 

the horsehead in the bed is a multifacetted message. first, it shows that the things he values, and protects the most, are not outside of reach. second, it shows that if we wanted to get to you, we were there. at your bed. while you slept. and third, it shows how far they are willing to go. all in all, a fairly well articulated message

Al Pacino has definitely been in a LOT of iconic/great films.

Opening scene: the undertaker’s daughter is brutally assaulted and he cries as the Godfather sits silent & indifferent Later: the Godfather’s son is brutally murdered and he cries as the undertaker stands silent & indifferent Brilliant.

Fun fact: The singer that went to the Godfather for help in the beginning was based on Frank Sinatra

Michael is established early on as a decorated (for bravery) and wounded marine corp veteran of the WW2 Pacific theater. That means places/battles like Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima. Make no mistake, he likely returned home with a higher enemy kill count than any hit man in the Corleone organization. Like the characters in the film many viewers fall for the college boy/legit wannabe mask that Michael Corleone projects.

Al pacino in dog day afternoon was iconic

I had the same experience with the Godfather as you MJ. This is a movie that would be on in my household growing up and I had only watched bits and pieces. It wasn’t until film class that I actually saw it. I personally prefer the 2nd out of the entire trilogy, and do not give much resistance when people say GF2 is the greatest film ever made. I know Pacino’s performance in it is the greatest on screen performance that I have ever seen.

The second time Carlo beat his wife was all a set up to get Sonny to leave the house in a rage. The phone call from the mystery woman that triggered Connie into throwing dishes around was part of the set up.

We don’t believe that adorable little puppy is bad, girl! 😊❤️🐶

Michael didn't want to be involved in the business, it just happened that way. They tried to kill his dad, he had to go to Sicily in hiding, and was there for a really long time because he got married and all. Then the dude came and told Michael the other families know about your location right before his wife got blown up. That's why the guard took off. When he came back to America, he spoke to Kate, and she asked how long he been back, and he said about a year. So there was a time jump there, and Michael had been learning the business, now that Sunny was gone.

That baby is Sophia Coppola who is a talented director as well.

I don't think you understood, Carlo beat Connie because Don Barzini told him to, in order to draw Santino out into the open.

Never go against the family, MJ.

For Marlon´s Brando character in this movie, Don Vito Corleone, Francis Ford Coppola put a jaw prosthesis in his mouth and a gauze, to give him that particular face. Brando was relatively young in this film, and Coppola pretended to age him and look more threatening.

Pauly was the Godfathers driver and bodyguard, he called in sick the one time someone tried to kill the Don. That's how they knew 😜

00:27 Sorry, I don't know if the captions messed up or not, but did you say "Al Pacino HASN'T been in a lot of iconic roles"...?

Paulie being outted as the traitor was in a deleted scene. Sonny explained to Michael that Paulie called in 4 times, all 4 times he had got a phone call from the pay phone across the street from the office. The day Don Corleone got shot, Paulie got a call from the same pay phone.

When they’re speaking Italian with no subtitles, it’s a directing choice. And you’re not missing anything.

Al Pacino hasn’t been in any iconic movie roles? ever heard of SCARFACE how many tshirts,rappers rap about it and wall movie posters of SCARFACE,Carlito’s Way,GODFATHER 2

You should check out the deleted scenes on here. One of the scenes depicts how Michael's wife Apollonia was killed. It showed how one of Michael's bodyguards Fabrizo was actually from New York and worked for Barzini which showed how fluent his English was. After the killing of Apollonia, Fabrizo fled back to New York. He was found and was killed from a bomb planted in his car, the same way Apollonia was killed.

Apollonia would have been a much better Mafia wife, she's Sicilian, Catholic and would not have asked her husband about his business. She would have been a good mother and faithful wife like Michael's mother 😊 I don't want to give away any spoilers for Godfather II but Kay is just too American to be a Mafia wife

I already know the reaction is going to be great, and I'm immediately subscribing......but had to laugh at the idea that "Al Pacino hasn't had many iconic roles".🤣 Serpico? Sonny in Dog Day Afternoon? Tony Montana in Scarface? Lefty in Donnie Brasco? Heat, Glengarry Glen Ross, Scent Of A Woman......Pacino was instantly iconic: people had posters of him. Watch Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta has a poster of Pacino as Serpico. He did Godfather, Serpico, Godfather Part 2 and Dog Day Afternoon between 1972 and 1975, all super, absolute top echelon iconic films (and roles) of the 70s/of all time. DEFINITELY watch "Dog Day Afternoon" and "Donnie Brasco". And "Serpico".

I get what you mean about attention spans. There's a lot in this film and it all matters; you have to pay attention to understand everything that's going on. I'd definitely recommend watching the second one; it's both a prequel and a sequel at the same time. It shows us how Vito began, and how Michael ends up. The third film isn't based on the book, which is one reason why some people don't like it as much as the first two. BTW the book is long but it's good, it has some material that was left out of the films. Luca Brazzi was played by man who wasn't a professional actor, who got so nervous that he fumbled his lines. The Director thought that fit the scene so he left it in the film. Also, "what they measuring out?" - that's Sonny's wife, and what she was measuring was Sonny. What makes Vito sympathetic is that he's more than just a criminal even though he definitely is one. He uses his power to help people with their problems, something which Michael doesn't do. Doing favors for people is how he got the power in the first place.

Al Pacino has no memorable roles other than the 3 Godfather movies?? Check out Scarface....check out Carlito's Way....check out Scent Of A Woman....check out Heat.....Al had plenty of memorable roles.

One of my favorite scenes is the scene with Don Vito and Michael in the garden where Don Vito tells Michael that he didn't want any of this for him, he had aspirations of Michael becoming a Senator or a Governor, and Michael says "just another pezzonovante"! The first time I heard it I wanted to know what it meant and looked up the word... Pezzonovante" is an Italian term that translates to "big shot" or "hotshot" in English. It is often used to describe someone who is powerful, influential, or important. But I believe that Michael was using it more in a sarcastic context than as an admiration!!!

0:22 Al Pacino in "Carlito's Way (1993)" is epic. you would enjoy it.

It's funny ever reactor under 30 always says, Why didn't anybody get a hold of MIchael. Ya'll gotta remember there was life way before the internet and cell phones. This was the 40's, there was no way to get a hold of him.

The novel by Mario Puzo is the first 2 movies. Its also noted he wrote the adaptations for these movies, so he reworked his entire book. He also went and wrote the story for Richard Donner's Superman. He was a great writer, who could add weight and scope to what he was telling. The sequels are worth checking out, plus Superman 1978 Then Superman 2 Richard Donner cut. Part of Puzo's story was cut in the theatrical, more campy version.

The film already has subtitles within it, except the restaurant scene. Don't turn them off if you watch the 2nd one. 1/3 of the film is in Italian

Godfather 1 is a masterpiece but part 2 is even better imo

Attention to detail, the bumpers on the cars are wooden,metal was used for the war.

Godfather is not! One of the greatest films of all time, it IS the Greatest film of all time!!!😊

no subtitles because what he is saying has no meaning anymore, he's about to be dead

Pauly was the Godfathers driver. He called out sick the day he was shot.

I hope you’ll watch Godfather 2 real soon! It’s excellent.

Don Corleone with a cat, MJ with her pup...

The most gas lighting sentence ever said it’s just business it’s not personal

Johnnie Fontaine is Frank Sinatra and the movie is Fred Zinneman's "From Here to Eternity" with the iconic beach scene with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr.

Star Wars and Jaws from the same decade are more iconic

also, there’s a sequel to this movie called the Godfather part two please do a reaction to it if you can great video MJ I highly recommend

In the book he needed corrective surgery to fix the bruise

Yes,,the pictures were real crime scene photos

Distracted by that puppy 🐶 🥰

"That baby is beautiful!" Fun fact that baby was actually the director's daughter Sofia Coppola.

Michael Corleone was a Captain in the Marines in the South Pacific during WWII, and he was the only one in the Corleone family that was college educated, and that is why he was an officer in the Marines because of his college education.

The second part won't be as great you say? *Grabs my popcorn* Also never ever listen to people that say not to see part 3 -because it gives the ending of the story in such a great way even though it's the lesser part of the trilogi..based on so many movies we have today It's still a good movie.

This trilogy is a classic, you’ll like it for sure.

Always turn on subtitles, even if no foreign languages are involved so you don't miss anything when you're talking to the audience.😊 BTW, $10,000 in 1945 equals about $167,000 today (so $1,000 then equals $16,700 now of course). The hospital looked abandoned because they cleared out the entire floor for Vito for security. Yes those were real mob hit crime scene pictures in that montage. "The Godfather" could be a lot longer. They actually edited out more than an hour out of the film. A lot of hardcore Godfather fans watch all the edited out scenes and the Director's cut version.

The book is truly spectacular, but it is a different experience. It deepens the portrait of Michael and especially Vito, but also a lot of the other characters. For me, it gave me a new appreciation for the movies, and how brilliantly Puzo and Coppola adapted it for the screen. I’d even go as far as saying you can’t fully understand what masterpieces those two movies are without having read the book.

What a precious pup🥰🐕

In the book they discovered Paulie talked to Sollotzo thru the phone company

You're the first person to realise that regardless of how he feels, Michael is obligated to marry someone, in order to keep the blood-line going.

The singer that shows up at the wedding is supposed to be Frank Sinatra. Now I don’t know if you know who Frank Sinatra is but he was the biggest singer around at the time.

YAAA my favorite movie of all time🔥🔥🔥🔥

40:00 the bomb car was for Micheal...

I'm spaniard and understand everything they speak in italian with a sicilian accent.

Some people enjoy a bag of popcorn when they watch movies... and others prefer fingernails.

Not sure what you mean by "iconic" - but Al Pacino is considered one of the best actors of his generation and played a good number of memorable roles.

OH HELL YEAH! You're the MVP reactor of the year for this one! The Godfather is my favorite movie of all time! 🔥 Godfather Part 2 is even better, it's 3 & 1/2 hrs long though but it's worth reacting to. Your views bout to blow up for this one! 😉

god bless the subtitles ^^

#MJWITHOUTSPIDER-MAN : HE LIED TO HER FACE!!! OH NO THIS MAN IS EVIL Me: All husbands lie to their wives! "Honey does this outfit make me look fat?" Husband replies "No dear"

Unsure if mentioned in other comments, but u said u cldn't tell by Michael's uniform which part of the military he was in. Michael served in the U.S. Marines during World War 2 & was awarded the Navy Cross. FYI, the Navy Cross & Army Distinguished Service Cross are the USA's 2nd highest awards for valor in combat- right under the Medal of Honor. It's why the family was proud of him for being a "hero."

Dammit, I am going to kidnap your adorable PUPPPPYYYY!

This is one of the rare cases where the movie is much better than the book. Jaws is another example

all time great movie. glad you enjoyed it.

Not sure if my previous comment got lost when you reuploaded a video, but its worth saying again :) You should definitely watch The Wire if you haven't seen it already. It would be an incredible series to follow along with you!

I rank this one, part 2 and Shawshank Redemption in my top 3-5 greatest movies of all time.

Your puppy cotto is adorable. 🐶

My kraut Mick friend 😂😂😂😂😂 and man in my position can't be made to look ridiculous.

According to the book, they did not know that Michael was in town when Vito was shot. he lived in New England and Sunny sent men to that town to get him.

I love the character of Tom, he is totally unflappable.

Out of curiosity, where did you watch this? The scenes in Sicily are actually supposed to have English subtitles for the Italian dialogue (the restaurant scene was intentionally left untranslated, though). Sometimes streamers forget to upload the right subtitle track. 🙄

Why is Kay acting so gullible? She is totally naïve to the realities of the Sicilian crime families. She is very nice and sweet, but she's young, spoiled, privileged and totally unaware of how "business" in the USA is done.

So any criticism you're getting is due to the fact that your young and ignorant (not dumb, you just don't know some things). You also kept guessing wrong. My sincere recommendation is that you watch the film again. You'll get a bunchvof stuff the second time and it will prepare you for Part II.

6:22 Cosa Nostra was a secret society. No one outside of New York knew about the organization until the book came out in 1970.

Part 2 is better. The greatest movie ever made.

When Michael looks at his hands at the hospital he noticed during a nerve racking moment he was calm cool and collected. At that moment I think Michael realized he was made for this shit

"He did everything wrong", except for killing the 2 guys.

It was all a set up. Barsini paid him to beat his wife because he knew Sonny would come running and they would be waiting for him at the toll booth. It was the only way they could get Sonny to come out in the open exposed like that.

The only flaw in the film is that wiff swing. 🤦🏻‍♂️. I guess they couldn’t edit it out.

Just a suggestion but the getaway with Steve McQueen from this era is very good as well

On to the sequels!

Michael was in the Marine Corps, so he knows how to kill.

“Hello Carlo”

"Say hello to my little friend"

Hey MJ I'm new subscriber to your channel so far I'm loving your content ❤️ I love your energy keep up the good work 💯💯

Can you react to Goodfellas (1990) please? It's another gangster classic.

You sure gotta beautiful lil puppy there! Love Rots.

The reason they were pretty sure Paulie set up The Godfather by not showing up is because that’s how hits usually go down in the Mafia. Before moving on another family boss the attacking family will usually reach out to people within the other family to side with them. Especially someone close to the boss like his driver or a bodyguard or one of his captains. The mob doesn’t like to have to do things the hard way. They like to smooth it out. Probably told him all the other family’s are lined up against you so you’re not going to win anyway but if you go along with us we’ll make sure you’re set up as a captain or whatever after this is all over. Knowing all this it was just too convenient that Paulie just happens to get sick the day the hit goes down.

Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

Gm mj how are you doing today friend I just woke up from my nap and laying down watching snowfall ❤❤❤❤

Hey MJ ❤

The Godfather series is the corruption of the American dream. The death of the Don’s dreams. Death of Michael’s dreams. The death of the Corleone family.

Koda(or are you spelling it with a C?)is a cute little hellion😂. Marlon Brando, the Godfather, also played Jor-El, Superman's father, in the classic Christopher Reeve films. Do you having a gaming channel too?

Nah you’ll love part 2. It’s solid

Pacino got alotta iconic films tho...of course u got scarface, this, godfather 2, carlitos way, donnie brasco, devils advocate...ill chalk that comment up to u being a youngbuck tho...lol

Godfather II is my favorite of the three

Funny you say this about the novel .. this imo is one of the rare cases the movie is actually better .. let me say though I absolutely love the book and pretty much read it again ever 3 years or so lol .. I’m a nerd what do ya want?? But the movie distilled the book so perfectly that it just makes it so perfect. The book has so many back stories and details which I love ! And it should be noted that part 2 of the movie takes place in the book .. but man they just captured the essence of the whole thing with the first 2 movies . Part 3 is a turd though in comparison lol
