@bluxe7372 9 месяцев назад

Always wondered why he was told to drop the gun ... during this time period, fingerprints were often used to identify a murder weapon. You'd think he'd have less chance of getting caught with the gun on him than leaving it with his prints. Especially given that a cop was killed, it would be harder for the police to look the other way.

Actually, one might conclude that Michael is so tense in this scene because he is trying to decide whether to go through with the hit. Conceivably, if Sollozzo had given a real promise not to kill Don Correleone, maybe Michael would’ve relented at the last moment. But here, Sollozzo is trying to make it sound like he’s giving Michael a guarantee but instead gives nothing. The latter is too intelligent to be taken in by such an empty answer. So Michael carries out the hit.

Pacino nailed the restaurant scene with his pitch perfect body language. With Coppola having to put up a fight to get the studio to have Pacino as 'Michael', it still makes me cringe at the possibility that Burt Reynolds or Robert Redford could have been 'Michael'. Yes, the others are good actors, but important roles require the right actors.

@radioactivehalfrhyme 2 года назад

@@abdulqudz89 Also, Pacino was deliberately holding back during the early scenes, because he understood that Michael’s turn in this scene (and the “strictly business” speech before it) would be more powerful if we didn’t yet know what Michael was made of. The producers mistook this for him just not giving a good performance, so Coppola brought this scene forward in the shooting schedule so Pacino could prove his chops.

Nice idea but the reason why he stands still is because that’s what he was told to do. You don’t commit a murder and then run out the restaurant, you have to let them see you and you exit with haste but not with irrationality and make sure to drop the gun before you leave.

@TaxmanTV 2 года назад

What makes this scene great is the high concentration of adrenaline being acted out.. something that is usually nonexistent in action films. In most action scenes, people just kill with an expressionless face as a way to 'look cool', as if they know the audience is watching them. That's not how it works. The reality is that killing someone tests the deepest levels of your soul and adrenaline goes into overdrive. Pacino shows this masterfully.

@fauciliedbeaglesdied6537 2 года назад

@The1980Philip 2 года назад

"In most action scenes, people just kill with an expressionless face as a way to 'look cool'," If the killer is a pro with a lot of kills, it does become routine it some point. Also, people who become professional killers are often sociopaths. But for an average person driven to kill under extreme circumstances (and not in war, where you're being shot at), it is indeed never easy, and Pacino did a good job portraying it.
