@@sakazukiakainu1323 Vito did become boss but you said it’s crazy that Clemenza brought him into crime. So my question is, what’s crazy about that if Clemenza was the hoodlum first who brought Vito into it? The novel says that.
@@josecarranza7555 i don't know about novel but in the movie vito is just like any other regular guy working man shortly after meeting his Goodfellas all while he's a rookie he raised up to the top
Idk if you meant to say the same thing twice but you kinda nailed it the first time. Scenarios really haven't changed though have they, they just kinda switched positions...
I noticed that at the funeral of Don Corleone Clemenza looked up at the sky after he went to his coffin. He loved Vito Corleone as his own brother and his friend.
Amoni (a gentle lets go) is typical sicilian word. I lived in sicily for many summers harvesting. And yes the mafia are there, and they are are abhorrent despicable cowards thieves and murderers sone of them. Ive seen with my own eyes their fraud, and their trying to take my friends land. And one of the police next door is still in the mafia there. Low levels. The doctors secretary boyfriend was the only one i talked too the rest was through the police station.. or being chased on roads as we discovered their theft of another piece of land.. which they had forged papers i saw in the town Hall and built on it illegally. The man that did that. Is now dead.
@@Bixcoito33It reminds me of my Grandfather, he was from Gangi, Sicily he came here with nothing and when he died he had a wonderful family and a great grocery store, he was loved by many, he took care of families that were down on their luck and was a great man
@@gregscavuzzo5457 I wish I was born in this weather, there's such a good vibe of cold, chigado and mafias with .22, not nowadays when bandits and people wear these clothes with their asses out
@@gregscavuzzo5457 very beautiful Sicily at that time, was it just like that as shown in the recording or was it effects, not only sicilia but NY was also very beautiful
Vito's leadership is unparalleled in Clemenza's eyes so he became the most loyal and capable follower he could Alot of people wants to be a leader and the boss But a boss without followers like Clemenza is nothing
Clemenza was still a boss. He was among the most powerful men in the family, and a capo. He was basically everyone’s boss except Vito and all his sons, and perhaps Hagen.
this is furtherly explored in the book with a lot more detail, it explains that vito was selfconscious on how much smarter and charismatic than the people around him, he rose to the position of boss because he constantly made the right moves which gave him money, influence and leverage over others, one of the key differences between all the other mobsters including clemenza and tessio and vito is that he choose to rule fairly and mercifully, a rarity by comparison with the others, hence his capacity to make friends with a lot of different people instead of them being afraid of him this is exemplified when he asks the landlord to do him a favor, while the obvious looming threath of retaliation is there because the landlord is not stupid, vito was the first one who came to him with a very lucrative proposition and he came in peace, the landlord after finding out who he was, decided to do the wise thing, be the one whom the don owes a favor to and never cash it instead of being the one in debt
@@aeysop6504 Thank you Mr Fable Man(and Irishman) for NOT including some bullshit about *'the algorithm'* in your posts. 👏 You see that all over RU-vid and 99% of the idiots posting it have no clue why 🥴
@@nepotuyt3509 im not talking about the character I'm talking about how good his Italian is. It's not like deniro was born in Italy and grew up in NYC..pretty obvious what I meant
I do not think Robert De Niro deserved to be nominated and win for Best Supporting Actor. His performance as Vito came nowhere close to being as powerful as Marlon Brando's Vito. For that reason, I think Brando deserved to be nominated and win for Best Actor. John Cazale should have nominated for "The Godfather: Part II" in my opinion, rather then De Niro. He gave the greatest performance in the sequel from my watching experience.
I do not think the Oscars are meaningless. Great art deserves great recognition in my opinion.For example, many of my favorite films won Best Picture Awards. Because they are amazing movies from my watching experience, they deserved recognition in Oscar history: 8. "Casablanca" (1943) 7. "Gentleman's Agreement" (1947) 6. "On the Waterfront" (1954) 5. "Gladiator" (2000) 4. "Schindler's List" (1993) 3. "Ben-Hur" (1959) 2. "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) 1. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" (2003)
I think "Crash" (2005) deserved the Best Picture Oscar Aaron. Their are pros and cons with the Academy Awards' decision s in my opinion. Three of my favorite movies were nominated for Best Picture Awards: "Citizen Kane" (1941), "Julius Caesar" (1953) and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008). They unfortunately lost to "How Green was my Valley" (1941), "From Here to Eternity" (1953) and "Slumdog Millionare" (2008).
He wasn't in part 2 because the actor wanted his girlfriend to write all of his dialogue which Coppola wasn't going to allow, pentagelli was created to replace him
