"That was the kiss of death." THANK YOU AMBER! Most reactors I've seen have not gotten the significance of that kiss. It was indeed a Sicilian message - a kiss of death. And Fredo got that message too. That's why he ran.

Robert Deniro’s remarkable performance as young Vito (young Brando) earned him his first Oscar. He reportedly immersed himself in Sicilian which is why he sounds so authentic. Clemenza was played by Bruno Kirby who you migh recognize from WHEN HARRY MET SALLYin which he played Billy Crystal’s friend Jess who married Marie played by Carrie Fisher. Brmuno’s dad Bruce Kirby was a journeyman Hollywood actor who played in a half dozen COLUMBOs in the 70s. Now there’s a rabbit hole to go down!

What makes this movie so great is that they're highlighting actual history. When he says that Arnold Rothstein fixed the 1919 World Series, that actually happened. You watched Field of Dreams a couple of weeks ago, Shoeless Joe Jackson was on that 1919 White Sox/Black Sox team. And when Michael goes to Cuba and there's a revolution, that actually happened. In the 1950s, the mafia ran Cuba. And when Michael goes in front of that Congressional hearing, that actually happened.

@user-mk5xc4ye9t 3 месяца назад

yes, Cuba was an organized crime sanctuary under the dictator Batista, then deposed by Fidel Castro and his merry men. Hyman Roth was a knock off of Meyer Lansky who was the head of Murder, Inc.

They are checking is eyelashes for lice..my grandfather was 12 when he came over from Italy-he went with family he never met..many kids came alone. He wasn’t a “Corleone” he came from Corleone-his name meant nothing at that time, that is the Godfather as a child. The back and forth from Vito growing up to the “present” is such a great way of storytelling but not everyone can keep up with the whole thing. Seeing how the other boss ran the neighborhood, young Vito knew how he wanted to run it-he got respect from local business people by respecting them. It was funny to see baby Sonny, a little temper even as a baby!

A lot of the irl Mafia did indeed use Cuba as part of their operations prior to the fall of Batista - Lucky Luciano, founder of the Commission, and Meyer Lansky (the inspiration for Hyman Roth) had operations there because it was close to America but outside of their jurisdiction - Luciano had been released from prison but deported to Italy in 1946 in exchange for his and the Mafia's co-operation with Operation Underworld, an OSS (pre-CIA) counter-intelligence operation to have the Mafia prevent smuggling or sabotage of ships docked in NYC and other east coast cities during WWII, but that's a whole other story.

Leaving aside the fictional characters of this film, the scene of the New Year's party at the presidential palace in Havana is inspired by real events. Batista received news that Castro and his troops had taken Santa Clara, so he resigned from the presidency that same night and fled to the Dominican Republic shortly after. Chaos and riots in the streets also happened in real life.

Kaiser, who was an industrialist responsible for Kaiser Permanente. The estate sold years ago and redeveloped . The main house was torn down to make room for condos. It is now called Flure De Lak.

The cabin was hand built by Jessies husband in the late 20s. I was lucky enough to have stayed there for a couple of weeks when I was 14 years old.. The cabin was sold after Jessi passed away at the age of 103, and the new owner had the cabin demolished and thrown away, and a brand new modern luxury home with an Italian stone facade took its place I have a genuine appreciation for old-school craftsmanship. I'm blessed to have been born into a family that allowed me to have access to a truly wonderful place before it became over exploited.

They were checking under young Vito's eyelids at Ellis Island because they were looking for Trachoma, which is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. It is highly contagious and is frequently connected with poor areas of the world. Having Trachoma was a rejection and would mean you were automatically sent back on the next boat. It is thought that possibly tens of thousands of people were sent back to their home countries because they had conjunctivitis, which was frequently mistaken for trachoma.

Amber and Jordan if you like mafia movies. You may like (The Untouchables) it's the story of how Al Capone got caught. Keep up with the good work 😎👍

@joemckim1183 3 месяца назад

Untouchables is more of an FBI movie about them going after the Mob, but its still a really good movie. But a good mafia related thing to watch is Boardwalk Empire which has a lot of real life gangsters like Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano and Al Capone as characters.

Late commenting but I wanted to point out how that Ellis Island scene was super authentic. A lot of families got their names changed exactly like that. My great grandfather had a thick accent, so when he said his name, "Firstname. Firstname Lastname," our old world last name sounded like "son" to the clerk, so he wrote down "Firstname Firstnameson" and we've been the Firstnamesons ever since.

The guy following Michael around is Al Neri, his right hand man. He’s a former cop, and a bad ass. I wholeheartedly recommend reading The Godfather. You learn a lot about the characters, in this movie and the first one. You can always listen to the audiobook while working out. There are entire storylines that don’t make it into the movies. You learn why Vito isn’t afraid of Don Fanuci.
