Vito and Michael Corleone, are both the personification of power, wealth and intelligence. 2 of the MOST iconic characters in film history, brilliantly played by 2 of the greatest actors of all time, Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. These characters are the epitome of what having an extraordinary amount of power actually looks like 👑
But the question always comes up, who was a better don? Both excelled at gaining power and expanding their empire and sphere of influence. Both ended up learning how to pull the strings of power to their favor ⚖️
So, it really is a difficult question to answer subjectively, unless you have a clear bias towards either one, you certainly can make an argument for both of them from a first glance. That’s why in this video we will be extensively analysing Don Vito and Michael, comparing them through some key categories that by the end gives us a superior and more logical answer to this question, to who was the "Better" Godfather 💎
So who is Vito Corleone? Don Vito Corleone was the founder and the patriarch of the Corleone crime family. Vito came to America as an orphan and slowly clawed his way up to be one of the most powerful and revered individuals of his time and even beyond. Vito’s big break came after the “olive oil war”. Where he ruthlessly dethroned the previous boss of bosses, by cunningly getting his very own caporegimes Emilio Barzini and Frankie Five Angels to betray their don. The classic, “divide et impera”. Through his intelligence, wit and cunning he was able to reach the heights of power and wealth and pass down his legacy to his son. Vito was the epitome of what a powerful leader is, he is the representation of what and how men of extreme power are able to strive and pull the strings of influence. But what differentiated Vito from other powerful individuals, is that he had a very strict code of honour that he would never break, he set limits to how far he would go depending on the scenario. As Machiavelli would have put it, he was both feared and loved.
Who was Michael Corleone? The youngest son of the don, Michael Corleone had always tried to stay away from his fathers shadow and wanted nothing to do with the family business. Michael was very intelligent, he inherited most of Vito’s strengths, and with his education and military experience, he really was on par and some would argue, an even better don than his father. Michael started off as a very moral man, always looking down upon what his family was involved in, however, after the series of events we see in the films, Michael begins to understand his father’s philosophy, and begins to transform into becoming just as ruthless as Vito, sometimes even going past what Vito deemed to be too far. But as a Don, Michael almost made every right move possible, allowing him to carry the family and ensuring its survival. After conducting this analysis, and really trying to look at this not just from our own bias, but from the lens of individuals far more wise than us.
In the end we have finally come to a solid conclusion. A definitive answer that has never been truly answered with the depth we just went through.
