This time, we'll analyse another character from The Godfather, Albert Neri, a mysterious and intriguing enforcer, and we'll try to found out who he really is. Often compared to Luca Brasi, we'll also found out how different they are.
The contrast between Al Neri and Luka is another work of art. Luka is a brute force. His existence in the atmosphere already shows how much pressure he creates. Which is why he killed 3 men without even bringing a gun. Neri is sharp and lethal. He's a gentleman and help people closes doors. Which is why he was disguised in his old uniform before killing 3 men.
I’ve heard Al Neri being compared to a scalpel, his calm demeanor being like that of a surgeon. Meanwhile Luca was a jackhammer, breaking people as easy as one would break concrete. Both brilliant in their own ways yet equal in every right!
Al Neri was a beast and unlike Luka he wasn’t a huge man but he still got the job done. He even tried to save the limo driver from getting whacked but he refused to pull off .
Al Neri symbolizes the good guys in society who were blacklisted and shun away for doing the right thing by the very people he initially worked for, only to realize there was more loyalty in being an organized criminal rather than gov jobs!!
Excellent post. Isn’t there a scene or deleted scene where Vito says to Michael when discussing Al: “It looks like you found your Luca.”?? I’ve been looking but have been unsuccessful so far. Am I experiencing The Mandela Effecr??? Lol
Wow oh wow, Al Neri is from another world, I'm definitely rooting for Big Al, I wonder what happened to h when Michael retired to Sicily, did he stay on to serve under Vincent or did he also retire?🤔🤔
Neri - means black in Italien and whereas Fredo means cold - a perfect play on their assassination scene Fredo is put into the black and cold of the Lake,
i don't know why everyone is always comparing neri and brasi. they don't even serve the same function. brasi is heavy artillery, that's it. neri is much more.
Mike Ehrmantraut, from Breaking Bad, was also a made man, fully trusted by his boss, Gustavo Fringe, despite his past as a officer at Philly PD. I presume mob bosses make exception, depending on reliability and efficiency, with certain members of their personnel.
Movie Al Neri was a joke. Al Neri in the book was a hulking, massive physical presence who subdued violent criminals by smashing a flashlight over their heads, rather than use a gun. The movie Al Neri looked like he went to Princeton with Michael.
Mancini is pronounced ManSEENEE not ManCHEENIE! Sorry but simple mistakes take away from credibility. It was my feeling that virtually everyone in Michael's immediate world, including Tom and Connie, knew full well that he had killed Fredo.
I'm talking about Al Neri's background and the things that weren't depicted during the entire saga, so of course I'm going to use stock videos to describe a scene, it makes it easier to understand. However, I'm not going to randomly insert movie scenes since that wouldn't make sense.
@@owenmccord5078 Don't listen to him, make your own opinion. I'm sure he didn't watch the entire video He's only showing stock videos when he's talking about Neri's past, which makes sense. It's like only a few clips that are stock videos.
