John Cazale (Fredo) was *only* ever in _5_ movies. 3 won Best Picture and the other 2 were nominated for it. He broke our hearts at just 42. RIP

@J_EOMReacts 2 года назад

That’s a hell of a run

@mikeking7710 2 года назад

He & Pacino were long-time friends, and they were essentially acting partners. They didn't do everything together, but they worked together when they could. Cazale appeared in several stage productions, and his entire film career was, 1 short film and 1 episode of television in the 60's, then The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather Part II, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Deer Hunter. He also appeared in archival footage in Godfather III.

@NS1. Год назад

Interesting fact... John Cazale was in a relationship with Meryl Streep that lasted 2 years until his death. She was so devastated by his passing, that she was still grieving during the filming of Kramer vs Kramer. She didn't have to fake her sadness during the making of the film.

@valleya6114 Год назад

Wow... Watched the Godfather series numerous times and never knew John Cazale passed away in 78 he was so young; much less, never knew he was in a relationship with Streep. Am actually shocked to learn this. I do remember when The Godfather #1 first aired on broadcast TV and that haunting theme song came on...epic

If you remember in the first film, when Michael was hiding in Sicily, Don Tommasino who was protecting him was in a wheelchair. In this film you see how he got there. Tommasino was the guy who was with Vito when he took revenge on Don Ciccio, and Tommasino got blasted in the legs with a shotgun.

At the beginning in NY, they drew an "X" on little Vito because he had smallpox (it's like measles....you can tell just by doing a basic exam on a person) and at the time...SMALL POX was deadly, but being eradicated by a newly discovered vaccine. With the "X" on his shirt, they put him in that little tiny room for 2 months so his contagious smallpox wouldnt spread to other people at immigration. According to the book, he would watch and learn in those 2 months. He learned that if he didnt talk, people would reveal more information. It was a lesson he took with him for the rest of his life.

@ianmcnaney6528 2 года назад

They did all kinds of health checks and quarantines on immigrants, not just for smallpox and not just for contagious diseases. The American Medical Association published an article about that history in 2008. People were rejected for all kinds of reasons, many of which were invented by border agents and included "physical deformity", a history of mental health issues, or likelihood that they would not be "good" citizens or would be "likely to become a public charge". You've heard that last one before if you've been paying attention. I've had bad luck linking to non-youtube links in the past, but if you search for "ellis island tuberculosis quarantine" you should find it for yourself.

Vito was supposed to be in the flashback, but I think what happened was that negotiations with Brando fell through at the last minute. IMHO, the scene works even better this way, with Michael all alone at the table.

@J_EOMReacts 2 года назад

Love how he’s alone

@paulascott5701 2 года назад

Michael was cold and harsh. Vito went out of his way to let people keep their dignity and feel good about themselves. I doubt he would have let Fredo become so bitter, for example. He tried to kindly explain to Tom why they had to keep him in the dark but Michael interrupted and just barked out "YOUR OUT Tom". Vito went out of his way to make his wife feel loved and Michael didn't. Vito had a great wife though, she bragged on a pear he brought home when that was all he could do. Just my take on things. These movies are masterpieces.

I also believe the strained relationship between Michael and Kaye was both cultural and the role of educated American women. Kaye had a career before she met Michael. She also was vocal about her views. I think Michael liked the fact that Kaye was intelligent and sophisticated, however, he was sort of in denial that she would not make the sort of wife he needed in this family. When Kaye kept questioning him and making demands, he was growing intolerant. I believe Michael was attracted to Kaye because of her upper-middle class background. She was sort of a trophy wife, proving that he was able to get something that not many men in his "social circle" could. This, in a way, was just as unfair to Kaye as he expected her to eventually fall into place. Kaye and Michael were lying to themselves. Their marriage was doomed from the day he brought her to his sister's wedding. Appolonia was the wife he needed. She had beauty and was culturally compatible. She understood her role as a wife in this family. It may seem unfair and incompatible with how things are today but this was 1940's and 1950's America.

@blaseblah204 2 года назад

@@gmunden1 Michael liked Kay because she was different than the old-school Italian wives. She was educated, and fun, and a spirited partner. She was perfect for Michael Corleone, Ivy League grad, war hero, disdainful of his family's stuck in the mud, old country ways. She represented progress for him, away from the limited immigrant mentality of preferably, sticking to your own. However, Don Michael needed an Apollonia. A dutiful, never-questioning wife, who would dote on him, no matter what.

The novel ‘The Godfather’ is both movies in proper order without the Cuba story..which was Francis’s addition. Fun fact: Mario Puzo was not pleased that Francis’s script included Fredo’s death. He believed that the audience would despise Michael, especially since his mother was still alive, so they both came to the agreement that Fredo would still be killed for the stories sake, but after the mom passed.😎

@J_EOMReacts 2 года назад

@charlesc7950 Год назад

The scene where Michael hugs Fredo at their Mom's wake is amazing. And the look that Michael gives Neri as he's hugging Fredo is chilling. Neri looks sick to his stomach because he knows that Fredo is a dead man.

@angusferdinandleonardojone8501 2 года назад

Michael’s first conversations with people after the assassination attempt shows a master manipulator. He told each person exactly what they wanted to hear so he could gauge their reactions. He was trying to find out who betrayed him. I love all the flashbacks to young Vito. Great reaction!

"I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!" Fun Fact: Though never explicitly stated in the film, Anita Colombo (the old woman evicted from her apartment that a young Vito helps out) is the grandmother of Sandra Corleone, Sonny's wife. Rosetta Stone Fact: Robert De Niro spent four months learning to speak the Sicilian dialect of Italian in order to play Vito Corleone. Nearly all of the dialogue that his character speaks in the film was in Sicilian. On-Set Sabotage Fact: The door to Vito Corleone's olive-oil business was rigged so that it would not open if a nail was inserted into the lock. Coppola kept this a secret from Leopoldo Trieste, who played Signor Roberto, and his difficulty in opening the door was real. Coppola wanted to film Trieste, a known Italian comedian, improvising his way through the scene. When Genco Abbandando opens the door, Frank Sivero surreptitiously pulls the nail out.

I could watch this movie a million times, and the scene where Kay tells Michael about the abortion will always be one of the most emotionally powerful pieces of acting in history. It will always hit hard every time I watch it. The shot on her face where he is talking to her about the miscarriage--you can literally see her deciding to tell him. And then the shot of his face when she tells him, and his eyes change as the truth hits him--all of it is the realest stuff you will ever see in cinema. You can see everything that they are feeling, with nothing held back, in all of its ugliness.

@Arsolon618 2 года назад

I agree. Also, its a general rule that wives and children are never touched. Appolonia dying was a tragic mistake, but nevertheless, Michael experienced a loss that almost no other gangster ever faces, the assassination of his wife. It made him colder and angrier than any other gangster because that stuff never happens.

This movie is a tragedy. It is the downfall of Michael becoming an evil man. Michael still had hope before. He had to be strong, cause people would underestimate him, cause he was the son of a Great Man. But, by keeping his guard up and being strong, he alienated everyone close to him and forgot his humanity. Connie hit the nail on the head. She understands, and that's why she basically becomes Michael's caretaker. The final shot is emblematic of the tragic course of Michael's life, his inner feelings. The REGRET is heavy on him, like a boulder. How did the good man that was in him, just slip away? How did he allow that to happen? "What does it profit a man to gain the world entire, at the cost of his soul?"

They both are astounding films and cinematic masterpieces that are at least as good as the first two Godfather films if not better in some respects. Of course they’re completely different types of films about totally different subjects from The Godfather films but they’re absolutely required viewing for anyone who loves movies and I honestly think you would really appreciate and enjoy them.

Coppola made another brilliant movie in between these two, "The Conversation," about a surveillance expert (Gene Hackman) who gets too involved in one of his assignments. It was a "Best Picture" Oscar nominee the same year that "The Godfather Part II" won the award. John Cazale (who played Fredo) is in "The Conversation" as well.

Francis Ford Coppola made another great film “Apocalypse Now” about the Vietnam War which was one of three great films about the war that all came out within a year of each other in the late 70’s. The other two were “The Deer Hunter” starring Robert DeNiro and Coming Home starring Jane Fonda and Jon Voight.

Great reaction. Godfather 2 is my personal favorite! There's so many layers to uncover in this sequel! You can watch it over and over again and see things you may have missed on the first watch. I'm surprised you didn't see Fredo's death coming. I feel with The Godfather 2 with Michael you have to read between the lines especially with Hymn Roth who was a great adversary! It felt like I was watching a Chess Match between Michael and Hymn trying to outmaneuver each other! And Vito's background story makes this film even more of a Masterpiece! I feel you should definitely watch The Godfather Part 3 even though it is not as good as the 1st and 2nd one. The 3rd Godfather still has a interesting ending! Pay close attention to Connie in Godfather 3 you could tell she spent too much time with her brother Michael! 🤣 Enjoy!

Fun fact, the man in the flashback scene who got shot in the leg when he went with Vito to kill Don Ciccio (the old man who killed Vitos family when he was 9) was Don Tommasino. In part 1 Michael stayed at Don Tommasinos house in Cicily when he was in hiding after killing Solozzo & Police Chief McCluskey.

Michael knows Fredo betrayed him because he said he never met Johnny Ola. He slipped up when he brought up Ola's name in front of Michael.

I loved the American mobsters dividing up a "Cuba" cake amongst themselves just as they were planning to divide up the real Cuba. "Make sure everyone gets a slice". Cuba is 90 miles from the US. If the rebels hadn't seized control, Havana would have made Las Vegas look like an abandoned carnival.

@TheJoshestWhite Год назад

Vito didn't want this life for Michael, because he knew the price of that life. I think Michael always listened to his father, Vito died before he could see what Michael would become. In that way the godfather died mercifully.

If you feel like reacting to another "gangster" flick I highly recommend "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967). It has very early roles for Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. It also has a great performance by Gene Hackman and what I think may be the screen debut of Gene Wilder in a small role.

When Michael looked at the hitman when Fredo was hugging him at their mom’s funeral, that was the end of Fredo. Just the look Michael gave the hitman you just knew what it meant without a single word. The Godfather 1 & 2 is the ultimate art of subtlety.

The plan was to have Marlon Brando near the end in this movie, but he turned it down. Brando would work with Francis Ford Coppola again in the movie Apocalypse Now (which I highly recommend you to see and react) & ironically in the 90's Brando would put his Godfather persona again (though he plays a different character) in the movie The Freshman, which also starred Matthew Broderick.
