Achara & Steph watch Francis Ford Coppola's best adaptive film of all time, The Godfather. Based on the novel by Mario Puzo, about Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando - Apocalypse Now & Superman (1978)) who wants to hand over his mafia empire to his youngest son, Michael (Al Pacino - Dog Day Afternoon, The Irishman, Scarface (1983) & Heat).
We wanted to provide all we could by splitting our reaction into two parts.
This film is directed by Francis Ford Coppola & it also stars: James Caan (Elf, Misery, & Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), Diane Keaton (Annie Hall, Father of the Bride & Something's Gotta Give) & Robert Duvall (The Apostle, The Judge, Jack Reacher, The Road, & Deep Impact).

It's also the writing -- this is what's called a "loose" script, where not every line of dialogue exists solely to move the plot forward.

Vito: "I never knew until this day that it was Barzini all along." At the Meeting of the Five Families, Don Emilio Barzini sat at the end of the table and was clearly in charge. Vito Corleone and Philip Tattaglia sat facing each other. Vito watched Tattaglia's and Barzini's every move. Tattaglia kept speaking to Barzini for assurance and guidance. He never spoke to Vito directly. Vito knew then that Barzini was behind EVERYTHING.

@AdityaKaul-dm8fk 4 месяца назад

There was a lot of subtext and reasoning going on in Vito's mind. He knew this war could not have been Tattaglia's doing. He called every family head there to asses who among them was the brains behind it and, as you said, who would take charge of the meeting and look most comfortable, as though this was "part of the plan". He also wanted to cool off the war till Michael was firmly in place as the new head so that when the "baptism" happens, there is no doubt about the Corleone family's future or a crisis of leadership. Of course, if Michael had died before then, the Corleone family was lost anyway and Vito would have burnt the whole forest down with him. The deal he made with the 5 families was essentially, "leave my successor alone so that he can blow you all away and take over the underworld."

@Stogie2112 4 месяца назад

Like Vito said, "Tattaglia's a pimp. He could have never outfought Santino." Tattaglia was not a big time Don. His racket was prostitution, and not gambling and unions. He was weak.

@michaelbuhl4250 4 месяца назад

The 1970s (and late '60s) were an amazing time for American cinema. Directors had a huge amount of control to tell the stories they wanted to tell, and they got to explore dark themes that they couldn't address directly before. Coppola, Scorsese, Lumet, Friedkin, Altman, Polanski, Kubrick, Roy Hill, and Peckinpah all made classics during that time that set the gold standard for movies. The Godfather is a perfect example of this.

Lucas and Spielberg are both truly great filmmakers, but they're kind of outliers with regard to that generally cynical, somber zeitgeist. However, I probably should have included Ashby, Forman, Cassavetes, and Bogdanovich. And arguably if I can include Polanski then I could also include Allen in spite of the creep factor.

There's a scene written in the book where Kay is converting to Catholicism and she asks Mama Corleone why she goes to Mass every day. She tells Kay it's so her husband won't go to Hell. Puzo made it clear that the wives knew what their husbands were about. Kay may have denied it, but she knew.

@Stogie2112 4 месяца назад

@anthonyleecollins9319 4 месяца назад

One of the (many many) things to love about this movie is how it's all apparently focused on the men in the foreground, but it always shows the effect on the women around them. No accident that it starts with the story of the undertaker's daughter being assaulted and beaten, and ends with that tragic shot of Diane Keaton (and the other women in between). The storytelling is so rich.

Knowing you will do part 2, please be aware there was a re-edit done for television that puts everything in chronological sequence. Avoid it at all costs. Get the original theatrical edit. You'll understand once you've watched it. Great reaction, one of you very best. Your comment on the very first scene at the wedding tells you all you need about why this is so great a film. One scene tells you everything about the character of Don Vito. Many other directors couldn't have done that with an entire film. Looking forward to part 2.

The quality of their work (and without reliance on computers) and the depth of the stories being told is still unsurpassed.

Some of my favorite moments in the film are the subtle but so damn powerful acting moments from Marlon Brando - in the hospital when Michael tells him "I'm with you now." and, without saying a word, he smiles and cries - or when Tom tells him that it was Michael that shot Sollozzo and, again without saying a word, the expression on his face drops and you can just fell how devastated he is...or when Tom tells him that they shot Sonny on the causeway...

@Stogie2112 4 месяца назад

Several of the actors had fantastic moments of expressing themselves without dialogue: Kay's naiveté at the wedding reception. Sollozzo's look of anticipation when talking to Luca Brasi. Bruno Tattaglia's look of pure evil when they're killing Brasi. The cigarette hanging out of his mouth was a great touch. Michael and Apollonia's mutual look of "getting hit by the thunderbolt". Michael's intense stare during the baptism. Carlo's look of pure terror when Michael confronts him about Sonny.

@Stogie2112 4 месяца назад

Darkness and Shadow: The best example of this is when Tom Hagen is first talking to Jack Woltz. Tom's head is exactly half in the light and half in the dark. A wonderful shot that shows the Good/Evil paradox of the Corleone family.

When the the baker tries to light his cigarette and he can't because his hands are shaking really bad, Michael then lights it for him and then looks at his own hands and notices he isn't shaking at all.

There's a great duality between Vito's and Michael's character. They have so much in common, witt, inteligence, decision making, reading between the lines, yet Michael has become a full villan in the end. Vito never crossed that fine line. They also represent the shift in the society, whereas Vito represents the old guard, gangsters but with morals and high sense of honour, Michael is more calculated and even more abitious than his father.

@hackapump 4 месяца назад

Here’s how cool Marlon Brando was with the minute details of acting: In the meeting of the five families, when he says ”Tattaglia lost a son, I lost a son”, Brando the actor thinks about the fact that Vito has been bed-ridden for months, so he makes an ever so slight grimace of pain when he shifts in his seat, because he figures the guy has haemorrhoids. (Either that, or Brando himself had them for real, but I'm betting on the former).

One of my favorite moments in this movie is when Vito is talking to Michael in the garden and trying to PREPARE him for what's coming!! In the conversation Vito says he had hoped that one day Michael would be the one holding the strings, like a Governor Corleone or Senator Corleone, and Michael responds by saying "just another pezzonovante", which is Italian slang for"Big Shot"!! It's more meant in a disparaging context!!😮😮 I think Michael KNEW, even MORE than VITO, what class of human politicians WERE/ARE!!!😮

He was so open in the beginning, and now he is a prisoner of his own making. "I NEVER WANTED THIS FOR YOU." If only Michael had listened to the Godfather.

25:35 - I first saw The Godfather probably when I was in Junior High in the early 80's, renting it on good old VHS tape and watching on our 19" tube TV. Years later in the early 90's I finally saw it in a theater - I think it must have been 1992 and they were celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the film. The theater was packed and I could tell that most people in the audience hadn't seen it before. During that climactic scene, when Kay asks Michael if he killed Carlo...and there's that LONG pause...and Michael looks Kay right in the eye...and the audience was dead silent waiting for his answer and Michael says..."no"...let me tell you, the entire audience audibly GASPED. It was so awesome! The entire weight of the whole film came down to that one moment, and his answer is barely even audible, and still people gasped. What a movie!

Technically, the father didn't break the treaty by retaliating, it was his son Michael, which was his and his son's plan from the start. And technically, Michael didn't kill Carlo with his own hands, he did order it. It's all semantics, but in their minds, they kept their word. An underrated scene was outside the hospital when Enzo's hands were shaking so much he couldn't light his cigarette. But Michael calmly lit it for him and then stared at the lighter. At first, I thought the lighter was a clue about who ordered the attempted hit on his father. But then I realized Michael was looking at his hands and the fact they were steady showed him he actually was cut out for this life and took after his father. I would guess that was the moment when the idea of succeeding his father as head of the family popped into his head.

You are the first reactors I've seen that understood the impact of seeing Marlon Brando as the Godfather for the first time and the impact of the first scene. At the time this movie was made the novel was super popular so there was a lot of anticipation for the movie. Everyone knew Brando was cast as the Godfather but pre-movie release shots of Brando as the Godfather were kept from being released. So when the movie came out there was a lot of anticipation to see Brando as the Godfather and we hear him before we see him. But when we see him it was a transformation as Brando was much younger than the Godfather and had his jaw altered by mouth pieces to give him a "bulldog" look. It was great movie making.

I know Part 3 isn’t looked at the same as 1&2 but I still think it’s underrated and worth a reaction. It completes Michael’s arc

Francis Ford Capolla's absolute classic The Godfather 🤘🏻🎬💯👌

Great reaction. I’ve always loved you and other reactors talk about it being 3 hours long. But when it ends you just want more. Definitely need to watch part 2. Both movies are 1A and 1B on my top 5.

"Hey Mikey, why don't you tell you that nice girl you love her?" 😂😂😂 If you want to really trip out, now watch Al Pacino as Tony Montana in Scarface. They are both crime boss figures, but polar opposites when it comes to their personalities, and he COMPLETELY embodies both of them. The man can act his ass off.

Really nice reaction and commentary ladies. This is a very rare case of an amazingly great movie having a sequel that might just be better than the first film. No spoilers from me, but I will say don't wait too long to watch #2, while this one is fresh in your memory. Already looking forward to watching the two of you watch #2. You really were so insightful and wonderfully reactive with this film. The acting in this one was so inspired, and in the midst of a film full of great performances Brando stood head and shoulders above the rest. When Brando went to read for the part he decided to put tissues in his cheeks. He was so impressive one short reading was all it took. They then had a dentist make an appliance to give the same effect.

Great reaction!!! Really glad that you all took your time through the movie and split it up into two parts. Hope you all do the same with Godfather Part 2!!!

Part of the greatness of this movie is the writing: this is what's called a "loose" script, where not every line of dialogue exists solely to move the plot forward. There are entire scenes of random, irrelevant conversations that aren't important to the plot but lets you feel like you're watching real people that you know.

Like when Clemenza was giving Michael a cooking lesson. It added depth and realism to the story.

Can’t wait to see you two react to the second movie! It carries on Michaels story as the don but also shows Vito’s origins and you see a move more ruthless side to the calculated man you’re introduced to in the first film.

The final scene is so chilling - stark reminder Michael was the protagonist not the hero.

Fantastic, fantastic reaction. If you really want to appreciate Brando's performance, go look at clips from the other two movies he did the same year: "The Nightcomers" and "Last Tango In Paris". First off, he looks nothing like Don Corleone, he has long blonde hair, 40's, super good looking guy. Secondly, every performance/character is COMPLETELY different. One is a Scottish psycho killer and the other a tortured, bereaved middle-aged American having a wild affair with a French girl. The scene of him at his wife's coffin is one of the most intense pieces of acting I've ever seen. When you see those movies (or just parts of them), you really can appreciate even more how crafted Don Corleone is. (And of course.......it's his early work to check out after The Godfather. "A Streetcar Named Desire" changed the entire game of acting, and "On The Waterfront" followed it up (along with "Viva Zapata" and a string of other great movies). Very easy on the eyes too! The reason Brando had such gravitas in The Godfather is because he really WAS the Godfather of acting to all those young actors.

Read somewhere. This film was edited into a 2 part tv series & was broadcast over 2 Sundays! I think it was New York or some other big city where most buildings ran out of water at the same time on both Sundays! This was because the whole city turned on their flushes after using the loo during the only commercial break in each part! No one even moved from their place while the movie was running!

There was a lot of subtext and reasoning going on in Vito's mind during the five families meeting. He knew this war could not have been Tattaglia's doing. He called every family head there to asses who among them was the brains behind it and,who would take charge of the meeting and look most comfortable, as though this was "part of the plan". He also wanted to cool off the war till Michael was firmly in place as the new head so that when the "baptism" happens, there is no doubt about the Corleone family's future or a crisis of leadership. Of course, if Michael had died before then, the Corleone family was lost anyway and Vito would have burnt the whole forest down with him. The deal he made with the 5 families was essentially, "leave my successor alone so that he can blow you all away and take over the underworld."

The way the door closes on the last shot like it's a curtain in a theatre. The Godfather series takes many of its creative cues from theatre and opera.

@Stogie2112 4 месяца назад

It is one of the best final shots in all of film history.

Right there at the end, when Clemenza says, "Hello, Carlo," you know; you just know. I believe that in the book you can find out that Clemenza was Sonny's godfather. So Clemenza got to take care of business.

Imagine if you will, watching this movie for the first time, only the second time it was aired on national television (edited, of course) after it's theatrical (movie theaters) release, in a room filled with mafia soldiers and associates (bottom rungs of the hierarchy). Happened to me. True story. Kind of a long story how it happened, involving me staying at an (related through marriage) Italian uncle's house, to help his son, my cousin, detox from a heroin addiction. That uncle grew up with childhood friends who eventually became mob members and associates. I just happened to be there the week that movie was showing on TV. On that day, he said he was going to cook Italian food, and invite some "friends" over to watch the movie with us. It didn't take long for me to figure out just who those friends were. Let's just say the experience of watching this movie for the first time, in THAT company, was extra chilling! It was like being at church while the movie was playing, completely silent, but then the room would fill with chatter during commercials, where they discussed the plot so far, suggesting alternative moves and tactics. Forgetting I was there, at one point one of them turned to me and said, "You know we're just kidding, right? Ha ha!" There's more to this, involving my next door neighbors as a child, the "Connie Corleone" of that region's top newspaper headline making mob family, and all that we witnessed as neighbors. Then there's what and who I was working with and for at the time, none of it favorable to organized crime. Made the chills even more intense for me! All they knew about me was i was there to help their friend's son, who got involved with a drug dealer ring, who they were against. That's how you can be safe in a room filled with mob soldiers and associates!

As a second generation Sicilian guy from the Bronx, I can assure you that it's pretty realistic, including Sicily. Corleone is a town very near to my grandfather's home town--it looks just like that. Most of the NY scenes were shot in various NY locations, and I've been to some of them.

Where did yall find these ladies. Love them. They are so in tune with every film they watch. It’s great I love when there is a big crucial scene and they get it. And we all just… BAM connect on it. We all get it and that is cinema magic. Movie is a 10/10 what more can I say. Great job everyone. Enjoyed this reaction.

@MontagZoso 2 месяца назад

Great reaction! This IS a perfect movie. Also, I totally agree about Michael’s reason for wanting Kay to marry him after Appolonia died…he wanted to have heirs. Kay was a baby maker to him, in my opinion.
