I was telling my therapist that I always try to fill silence and she asked why, I said "I don't want to make the other person uncomfortable" and then she said "Why do you feel that you're responsable for how they feel?" ....
You actually had a good therapist. Mine just kept sayin “so why do you feel that way” and I’m like “that’s why I’m here speaking to you”. On another note, I spoke too much about things, was very open which I’ve found people naturally can use it as a tool against you subconsciously. They may not mean to do it (although some people do) but they do, so you either come across sarcastically in a way that it’s not hurtful but they don’t want endure it so they respect you but also understand it’s something that shouldn’t be taken to heart. The other way to go is to be silent, listen and take everything on board of what they’re saying and only speak when you know it’s going to be a good answer.
Don Vito also almost never swore. That, too, made him more powerful. Swearing in anger shows everyone that you've been triggered by them and/or their words.
Yep very true, Don Vito had a kindness to him, even in his speech, which he managed to display without it ever being taken as a weakness. Swearing is a sure-fire way to let people know you've been rattled.
I’ve only watched the first Godfather with my dad when I was younger, it’s one of his favourite movies. Great insights as always, artful and practical! my dad is the strong silent type too. Maybe I’ll watch the other two parts with him when we can visit each other again!
You’ve got to watch at least the second part, you’re missing out on a masterpiece! Definitely watch it with your dad when you can. Thanks for your support, appreciate it.
I think it is massively misunderstood that silence is power, its the other way around. A powerful man is always silent because he doesn't need to show off a false front. Being silent doesn't always mean one is powerful.
Interesting observation, largely makes good sense. Silence alone is insufficient agreed, it must form part of a wider power base. However, in more mundane day to day interactions, where both parties have a neutral power base, silence can have major benefits in the right circumstances.
Great analysis. You could argue that Michael paid the ultimate price the one time he was not as quiet as he could’ve been. This was when he was in Sicily and his name and who he was were being slowly but surely leaked out…especially when he got married to the love of his life with the traditional Sicilian wedding.
Wow didn't even think about that, totally agree, such a great example of how revealing too much cost him enormously! Wish I had included that in the video. Thanks for watching!
@@QuietlyMagnetic no problem, man. It was a very pivotal happening in the movie. He never ran around screaming who he was with an energy of sonny or with an ignorance of fredo but he did slip out his own identity in the movie. In the book he also tells an older woman. In the movie tells the father that a lot of people would pay a lot of money for that kind of info…and then those people made his body guard an offer he could not refuse. Imo, michael lost a carbon copy of his own mother in his first wife and for me it was a symbol that michael was definitely not going to be a complete 100% copy of his father.
You are right, silence is powerful. Whether it is healthy depends on where it’s coming from though. Is it from a place of self-knowledge, confidence and assurance? Or is it coming from a place of doubt, fear and suffering? Either way, silence does much less harm than words.
Yes definitely agreed. The source of silence is important, if it’s from fear, hesitation or lack of confidence, then arguably it has little power. Hence the use of Michale and Vito Corleone as our case study, where’s it clear that there silence is from a place of strength. Thanks for watching and the support!
The Godfather was the ONLY movie where Al Pacino actually acted (and did it well). Forever after, in every other movie, Al Pacino was just being Al Pacino.
This rings so true - you really can use the pause to get people to react and fill it if they can't themselves tolerate the silence. Great video once again, I can see a lot of work went into the scripting and editing as usual! Keep it coming :)
Yep hard for many of us to fight human nature of constant noise. Thanks for all your support from day one, dozens and dozens of hours go into each part of a video!
I used to watch Godfather as a kid and it was super boring so I could not finish it but after a couple of years I decided to rewatch it and man so many themes and lessons Godfather is a story about mafia but at its core it is a story about family, father and son and a man's willful descent into darkness Vito's wisdom about life and family I was able to grasp only recently while Michael's disregard of his brother and wife sealed his fate absolutely brilliant
Yep, totally agree. There are so many sub themes and arcs in the movies, each worthy of their own detailed analysis. Whilst many have issues with Godfather 3, the line where Michael tells Kate decades later (included in my video) “I had a whole different destiny planned” really was powerful and makes it hard to not feel even a little sorry for Michael. He was a complex man.
Yeah, hard to see a kid enjoy movies meant for an older audience. My 10 year old cousin was watching a battle scene from Apocalypse Now, yet he somehow got bored watching the clip. He likes those Marvel movies but I don't think his attention span can handle those either.
I cant believe such a wise video has only a handful of views whereas useless waste of time grabs tons of views. I just want to say thank you for making these videos. I just found your channel and I'm in love with it already.
Thanks for your kind words, this was great to read first thing in the morning, I appreciate it and gives me the fuel to continue on with my next one! Glad you love the videos!
No wonder some people see me as cold or scary lol I’m usually the most silent in the room and only speak when I want to say something meaningful. Other than that, I observe everybody else. It also doesn’t help that I have a resting face that appears to be constantly unimpressed lol
I rarely watch videos like these that go longer than 5 minutes but your content is an exception and I watched it to the final second. Remarkable work man! 👏
Thanks really appreciate it, I’m glad you got value out of it. It’s comments and support like this that gives me the fuel to invest the weeks into making these videos. Just what I need to hear today!
To he honest it’s easy to be calm and silent when you have power to make ppl disappear and make things happen.When you only have yourself to defend what you own, its more impulsive in all responses.
Yep totally agree, The Godfather is fictional and based in a world of violence but I still think the principles of silence and power can be used in every day normal settings such as in the workplace, at school or other social settings where we need to interact with people that aren’t all powerful mobsters.
Sonny helped win wars for the family and his ferocity was very much needed. It just boiled over too much and he didn’t learn from his father how to be calculated and ruthless as Michael did.
Michael in Godfather influenced me a lot growing up. I am also the youngest child. Also named Michael, I was executor of parents estate and medical power of attorney. I had enormous discretion on who gets what.
All the times I blew up on someone, was painful as first, but it made me stronger and opened up new doors. We absolutely cannot remain silent while others are attacking us and trying to put us under their heel.
Thanks for sharing. If your silence stems from fear and weakness then I agree. If your silence stems from a desire to strike when ready and prepared then that’s powerful.
No hate whatsoever, you made a good point which is common when drawing lessons from movies or fictional settings. I’ve responded with my thoughts, let me know what you think. Thanks for the feedback, stay blessed!
The one thing about The Godfather I think a lot of people don't realize is the primary difference between Michael and Sony. It's not as big as most people think and it is a singular different only. When you get right down to it everything Sonny "talked-about " Michael did. Sonny wanted to kill Slolazo, Michael did, Sonny wanted to kill Tataglia, Michael did. Sonny wanted to go to war, Michael did or he created a circumstance where he didn't need to. It wasn't that Sonny had bad ideas; no what he lacked was strategy. He had bad tactics. It is truly only in temperament that they are really different. Otherwise the same in beliefs and motivation. Thier world view is the same ultimately although I will admit it took the loss o his first wife and the shooting of Vito for Michael to come to this view. As the narrator so keenly points out Michael acted in the silence whereas everyone knew how Sonny would react. Michael was less predictable and completely patient. The Greeks said it best "character is destiny " Sonny was destined to meet that fate with that family. There is a lot to be learned from this movie. I know I have.
Great analysis, thanks for watching. Totally agree, fantastic point that the reality is that temperament is what distinguished them, which ultimately dictated how they acted. Two brothers, both with the same ambitions but very different tactics.
Sonny was an an impatient hot headed - Aries. Michael was a vengeful dark plotting - Scorpio. Fredo was meeky lost - Pisces. Vito was grandeur king size - Leo. Thank me laters.
Amazing video once again, Meaningful statements, I have now learned a new thing silence is power! You making these videos makes me learn new things. Great work on this video 💯
Thanks for your feedback, I’m so glad that you’re learning new things and getting real value from these videos, that’s always my intention. Appreciate the support!
Hey QM thanks for teaching people how to be powerful! I've know these things you speak on for along time. It's nice and refreshing to know someone else in the world understands these fundamentals. Big ups and much love to you brother.
The quality of video and the power in content...OH MY GOD!!! bro u'r just a beast...I wholeheartedly appreciate your efforts for giving this quality content.. recently I am facing this problem I'm surrounded by the people as school reopened and I hate to talk to them but can't deny to do so...thank you so much for this❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Your Supporter, fan, follower from the starting...Keep grinding sir🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, really appreciate your kind words and support since the beginning. Great to know you got value from the video. Yes, definitely can be hard, especially at school if you’re surrounded by extroverts, but continue to have and build confidence in yourself quietly and that will always have power over those that are loud but lack self confidence. Only change what you want to and for your own improvement.
@@QuietlyMagnetic yeahhhhhh I mean surprisingly I performed slightly better in my exams than the so called toppers..first they didn't give a f abt my presence which I appreciated now I'm surrounded by them and their opinions which I hate. Thnx to your video I'm gonna apply the rules to crush them all and their intentions🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@QuietlyMagnetic sir I love your voice and the quality of your talk n I'm attracted to ur personality...just wanted to know if it's possible to make a video on how to unlove someone? Like they never loved you but just considered you a friend and now you just wanna disconnect from them n stop thinking...gonna appreciate till death if this can happen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼????
Whilst appearing counterintuitive, Vito and Michael manifest power, authority and confidence through the initial suppression of primitive and violent urges, rather than the impulsive enactment of them. It is the silence that pervades their interactions that quietly exhibits their power.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion appreciate it. I’m glad you made it to the end of the video! Will take this on board. I’m trying to make the videos shorter but definitely agree a call to action will be helpful.
Loved the vibe in the intro and the music, this was a really good video. You’re right they are soft spoken and quiet, which is surprising for very powerful leaders. Keep up the good work. Would love to see a video on a female character at some point too 😀
Thanks for watching and the feedback appreciate it. Yes, I definitely want to cover female characters and personalities too on this channel and plan to in the future! Watch this space!
I see silence as power. But i believe this type of silence comes from huge inner battles which make man or women be stronger than their fears. They know fear well which is why it has no power over them like with most of us. I might lack in explaining my thoughts tho because English is not my first language. His silence was more than egoistic ruthless domination which he has been in position to use, it came from wisdom. Ability to see what they want,why they came,who they are.
This movie was complete power and completely just so well made. The way the GodFather portrays to the knowledge of the real world is awesome. The GodFather series was really a masterpiece, And very well made.
She looks like my mom ( Appollonia ) when the marriage dance takes place on the same technique for a good idea of a lot more to do for Don Michael Corleone ❤
I always wanted to ask whenever I watch this video for guidance: Which is the movie/series from which a clip is shown at 3:42 ? A cute girl like her is an offer I can't refuse.. But to be honest, I immensely Admire that Man and always think if he doesn't regret not, at the least, even 'regarding' her! So today I thought It should be asked.. 1. In what context was the scene from 3:42 - 3:50 ? 2. Had he had any hidden Agenda for being a 'bouldering Rock type': like wooing her, sometimes for monetary value as he seemed a powerful and scheming gladiator in suits ? 3. And most importantly but with Guilty pleasure and sorry to say, with cringe interest, did any romantic entanglements happen between them like Bollywood movies?(tbh I wanted to ask all of these one year before because of this cringing curiosity but like the dentist says after shooting #CalvinCandie in #DjangoUnchained : "I couldn't Resist.... As the Girl's such a sweetheart I wouldn't let go at any cost or cause!) AND BECAUSE OF ALL THESE THOUGHTS, I COULDN'T CONCENTRATE ON THE REST OF THE VIDEO and RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN.. STILL!
All great questions and observations. The scene is from the TV show "Mad Men" and involves the characters Don Draper and Sylvia. If you Google them or start watching the show, you'll get all the answers to your questions!
It’s crazy how Michael and Tony Montana is so different they even look diff even though both is Pacino . so diff for each other that’s how good Al Pacino is one of the best it’s so hard to play as diff mob guys with diff personalities but they are so different! Tony is a hothead loudmouth who don’t care and is bossy, while Michael is more calm and wiser, thinker and observer, Al Pacino needs to be more talked about when it comes to actors pure acting in goat Convo
Nah, only in the beginning was Pacino a good actor, an actual actor. Everything later was just him playing himself. He stopped acting and played Al Pacino. He was horrible in Godfather 3 due to this.
Once they outmaneuvered Sen. Geary he was entirely defenseless. At that point they should have twisted his nuts and destroyed his career and life. Only because he brought in the unforgivable-Michael’s family, i.e., “you’re whole fucking family.” Unforgivable. Destroy him.
Sonny was an an impatient hot headed - Aries. Michael was a vengeful dark plotting - Scorpio. Fredo was meeky lost - Pisces. Vito was grandeur king size - Leo. Thank me laters.
@@MaverickSoulz455Pisces is actually the main sign - most powerful and last encompassing a bit of all and being adaptable. Fredo would be a poor representation
I’m good, thanks for checking in, appreciate it! It’s been difficult to find the time to properly work on a new video the last few months, but I’ve finally started thinking about my next video and will start scripting it shortly before recording and editing it! Will get it out as soon as possible! Grateful for the support!
@@QuietlyMagnetic hello brother, I'm sorry if I make this awkward for u....first of all, thnx for replying🙏🏼 I'm 17 years old n believe me from DAY 1 I have been stabbed n being the unwanted guy...I stopped feeling for people but from first video of yours I found out a genuine brother in u...Take care bro...lots and lots of love❤️❤️❤️
Yow, forgot to comment, video was really interesting. If i may suggest one of the next videos, perhaps it would be about Jordan Peterson ? I think there is a lot to talk about in his case, and u can pretty much work the subject from any perspective. Perhaps some titles like "Jordan Peterson, the art of telling what's necessary" , "Jordan Peterson is the dad you wished you had", "Be born a fool, live a warrior, die a legend". Idk, i really think that it would get you the views that you deserve and bring a broader audience to you ^^. Keep up the great work ! Edit : "The path to Heroism" would also be dope of a title :p
Thanks appreciate it. Great suggestions and agreed so much to talk about, greasy depth and breadth. I will definitely have a think. Love the title The Path to Heroism, thanks for suggesting!
Where the Power of Silence was #SomethingSomething like this between #MichaelCorleone & his BodyGuard Al Neri in #TheGodfatherPart2 , #LucaBrasi was a tool of #UtmostDestruction for #DonVitoAndolini ❤
Speak less than you know Have more than you show. But this MUST be preceded by hard work and achievements, unsuccessful and financially poor people do not , and can not , wield the power of silence. It's the sword of the powerful.
Thanks for the feedback! I have hopefully done this for my subsequent video on Tommy Shelby and will definitely do this for the current video I will publish soon.
Thanks appreciate it. I’ll have to double check the edit and get back to you with the name. It was a segment I extracted from an instrumental on Epidemic Sounds.
Tywin is a master of silence. In the books.... One of the mad Kings ass kissers made a joke about Tywin.... Everyone laughed... And Tywin looked.... And looked.. And looked.... And looked.... And the man that made the joke got up and left.... Ha ha. Tywin didnt say a word and took the man's soul.
Mob life in many ways is like sports I'm finding out the older I get how evil sports is regarding the business side. Knowledge is power we wouldn't have ever known that certain sports are rigged. It wouldn't have been known 50 or 60 yrs ago
The daily expression of power by Vito and Michael Corleone are often not displayed by physical strength or traditional hyper-masculine personas. Instead, their power, as gladiators in suits, is always first conveyed through the way they carry and conduct themselves.
I was telling my therapist that I always try to fill silence and she asked why, I said "I don't want to make the other person uncomfortable" and then she said "Why do you feel that you're responsable for how they feel?" ....
That’s a great insight, thanks for sharing!
You actually had a good therapist. Mine just kept sayin “so why do you feel that way” and I’m like “that’s why I’m here speaking to you”. On another note, I spoke too much about things, was very open which I’ve found people naturally can use it as a tool against you subconsciously.

Thnx to your video I'm gonna apply the rules to crush them all and their intentions🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@ansh4109 keep at it, will be all worth it in a few years, the hard work and character building you’re focussing on now 👍
@@QuietlyMagnetic sir I love your voice and the quality of your talk n I'm attracted to ur personality...just wanted to know if it's possible to make a video on how to unlove someone? Like they never loved you but just considered you a friend and now you just wanna disconnect from them n stop thinking...gonna appreciate till death if this can happen 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼????
@@QuietlyMagnetic yessss captain 😂❤️🙏🏼
This is the best youtube video I have seen in awhile. Wow. Thank you for this.
Thanks appreciate the great feedback, means a lot. Check out my other ones, hopefully each subsequent one has been an improvement on the last!
The silence is always power and I am always that silent dude in every parties meetings , because I think deeply , what is the next !
Thinking deeply is an underestimated power!
“Thank you for the dinner and a very pleasant evening”
Haha Tom was always a gentleman!
You have genuinely provided value to me, which I think others could also benefit from.
Thanks for the kind words, I’m glad it helped you!
The reason Connie's
husband beat her wasn't
because of anything she
had done, but because Vito
wouldn't let him take part in
the "Family Business".
Interesting observation!
Whilst appearing counterintuitive, Vito and Michael manifest power, authority and confidence through the initial suppression of primitive and violent urges, rather than the impulsive enactment of them. It is the silence that pervades their interactions that quietly exhibits their power.
Thanks for taking the time to write up some of the points I made!
You missed the clips of the silence power and cold stone staredown of Lt. MARTIN CASTILLO on MIAMI VICE.
Will check it out!
Great work man! One suggestion -> you should have a clear outro at the end of the video, telling people to comment, like, subscribe, etc.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion appreciate it. I’m glad you made it to the end of the video! Will take this on board. I’m trying to make the videos shorter but definitely agree a call to action will be helpful.
@@QuietlyMagnetic You're very welcome. It's also good for branding, to separate yourself from other channels that provide the same type of content.
Loved the vibe in the intro and the music, this was a really good video. You’re right they are soft spoken and quiet, which is surprising for very powerful leaders. Keep up the good work. Would love to see a video on a female character at some point too 😀
Thanks for watching and the feedback appreciate it. Yes, I definitely want to cover female characters and personalities too on this channel and plan to in the future! Watch this space!
Good work your leading in the right direction. 👍
Thanks, appreciate the support!
Your majestic video never cease or deCrease to look amazing!❤!!
Thanks for watching!
This is a very informative video. Very clear on the “how to”
Thanks appreciate it, glad you got value out of it!
I'm obsessed with the Goodfellas movie also. Ray Liotta is just like Al Pacino hea half Italian though just like myself
Yep, Goodfellas one of my all time favourite movies, the screenplay is impeccable!
Which part of Italy?
@@Smudgeroon74 Sicily is where my ancestry or my maternal ancestry. Sicily is different cause of the Arab influence and North African inhabitants.
Outstanding content brother! I have learned a valuable lesson here. God be with you.
Thanks appreciate it. May you be blessed!
I subbed , i expect more videos like this.
Thanks, appreciate it!
i enjoy watching this video like a movie everyday❤
Thanks for watching!
I see silence as power. But i believe this type of silence comes from huge inner battles which make man or women be stronger than their fears. They know fear well which is why it has no power over them like with most of us.
I might lack in explaining my thoughts tho because English is not my first language.
His silence was more than egoistic ruthless domination which he has been in position to use, it came from wisdom. Ability to see what they want,why they came,who they are.
Great observation and very interesting. I agree there is a lot of wisdom in his silence.
Any Godfather fan, in fact, any Man should watch! 👏🏼
Thanks appreciate the support and kind words!
@@QuietlyMagnetic Thank you for the time, patience and enlightenment.
Keep it up bro, this is quality content
Thanks man, appreciate all your support
Very wise observations man ... thank you
Thanks for watching!
This movie was complete power and completely just so well made. The way the GodFather portrays to the knowledge of the real world is awesome. The GodFather series was really a masterpiece, And very well made.
Thanks for watching. Yep, it's a movie which still today remains unrivalled!
Excellent video, very well done. You have got yourself a new subscriber, my friend.
Thanks for the feedback and support!
Another great video and superb editing
Thanks appreciate it!
Excellent video. Thank you very much for the wisdom!
Thanks appreciate the feedback and kind words!
Great video. Very insightful
Thanks for watching and the feedback, appreciate it!
Mentioning the realm when the imp shows up Lmaoo
I think Tyrion Lannister from the Game of Thrones would have made an awesome modern day gangster!
I can close my eyes and sort of feel that time era that must be brought back to our generation and time
The old school days!
The book of Power is great. reading it and listening to it currently
Will check it out!
This is awesome 💪💪💪
Thanks for the support!
She looks like my mom ( Appollonia ) when the marriage dance takes place on the same technique for a good idea of a lot more to do for Don Michael Corleone ❤
Brilliant!
Great videos. Thank you
Thanks appreciate it!
The Godfather and Favorite Son
Definitely a powerful combo!
I always wanted to ask whenever I watch this video for guidance: Which is the movie/series from which a clip is shown at 3:42 ? A cute girl like her is an offer I can't refuse.. But to be honest, I immensely Admire that Man and always think if he doesn't regret not, at the least, even 'regarding' her! So today I thought It should be asked.. 1. In what context was the scene from 3:42 - 3:50 ?
2. Had he had any hidden Agenda for being a 'bouldering Rock type': like wooing her, sometimes for monetary value as he seemed a powerful and scheming gladiator in suits ?
3. And most importantly but with Guilty pleasure and sorry to say, with cringe interest, did any romantic entanglements happen between them like Bollywood movies?(tbh I wanted to ask all of these one year before because of this cringing curiosity but like the dentist says after shooting #CalvinCandie in #DjangoUnchained : "I couldn't Resist.... As the Girl's such a sweetheart I wouldn't let go at any cost or cause!)
AND BECAUSE OF ALL THESE THOUGHTS, I COULDN'T CONCENTRATE ON THE REST OF THE VIDEO and RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN.. STILL!
All great questions and observations. The scene is from the TV show "Mad Men" and involves the characters Don Draper and Sylvia. If you Google them or start watching the show, you'll get all the answers to your questions!
It’s crazy how Michael and Tony Montana is so different they even look diff even though both is Pacino . so diff for each other that’s how good Al Pacino is one of the best it’s so hard to play as diff mob guys with diff personalities but they are so different! Tony is a hothead loudmouth who don’t care and is bossy, while Michael is more calm and wiser, thinker and observer, Al Pacino needs to be more talked about when it comes to actors pure acting in goat Convo
Great observations!
Nah, only in the beginning was Pacino a good actor, an actual actor. Everything later was just him playing himself. He stopped acting and played Al Pacino. He was horrible in Godfather 3 due to this.
Holy shit this is a brilliant video! Wow!
Thanks appreciate the great feedback!
I always thought Al Neri was an accurate example of Powerfulness Personified, in terms Of Silence, in the Godfather trilogy.
Interesting observation!
Great video
Can you make another videos of Micheal Corleone character study ?
Thanks for the feedback. I’m trying to do a variety of characters at this stage but hopefully you like and will like my other videos!
Once they outmaneuvered Sen. Geary he was entirely defenseless. At that point they should have twisted his nuts and destroyed his career and life. Only because he brought in the unforgivable-Michael’s family, i.e., “you’re whole fucking family.” Unforgivable. Destroy him.
Thanks for sharing!
Sonny was an an impatient hot headed - Aries. Michael was a vengeful dark plotting - Scorpio. Fredo was meeky lost - Pisces. Vito was grandeur king size - Leo. Thank me laters.
Interesting!
@@QuietlyMagnetic And, I am an astrologer and MBTI expert. Thanks, for having me here. God Bless!
@@MaverickSoulz455Pisces is actually the main sign - most powerful and last encompassing a bit of all and being adaptable. Fredo would be a poor representation
Great video, like where you're going with this channel!
Thanks for the support, appreciate it!
WOW. Just WOW Justifies this❤
Thanks for watching!
Hey bro, all good? No video since months?? I'm not on any social media platform but UA-cam...bro I hope u good❤️
I’m good, thanks for checking in, appreciate it! It’s been difficult to find the time to properly work on a new video the last few months, but I’ve finally started thinking about my next video and will start scripting it shortly before recording and editing it! Will get it out as soon as possible! Grateful for the support!
@@QuietlyMagnetic hello brother, I'm sorry if I make this awkward for u....first of all, thnx for replying🙏🏼
I'm 17 years old n believe me from DAY 1 I have been stabbed n being the unwanted guy...I stopped feeling for people but from first video of yours I found out a genuine brother in u...Take care bro...lots and lots of love❤️❤️❤️
@@ansh4109 stay strong, on the other side of this discomfort you will find your own version of greatness!
ringed the bell so i can get notified when your next video drops
Great, thanks, appreciate the support. Will try and get the next one out as soon possible!
It’s Godfather season. Let’s have fun. Get stomp the yard. Let’s zoom.
Everyday is Godfather season!
Match made in heaven❤️. Marlon Brando, al pacino yya garu vs Diane Keaton⚓️
100%
Bro I love your videos you need to upload more
Thanks appreciate it. Working on my next one the moment, hoping that gets published sometime in December!
@@QuietlyMagnetic nice, I am literally chilling and binge watching all your videos ahaha
@@Jay_den I’m glad you enjoy them, helps me to keep putting in the hard work knowing that!
Yow, forgot to comment, video was really interesting. If i may suggest one of the next videos, perhaps it would be about Jordan Peterson ? I think there is a lot to talk about in his case, and u can pretty much work the subject from any perspective. Perhaps some titles like "Jordan Peterson, the art of telling what's necessary" , "Jordan Peterson is the dad you wished you had", "Be born a fool, live a warrior, die a legend". Idk, i really think that it would get you the views that you deserve and bring a broader audience to you ^^.
Keep up the great work !
Edit : "The path to Heroism" would also be dope of a title :p
Thanks appreciate it. Great suggestions and agreed so much to talk about, greasy depth and breadth. I will definitely have a think. Love the title The Path to Heroism, thanks for suggesting!
Peterson offers bland platitudes and half truths. Peterson is too scared to go fully out with the truth.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
You should do a video about
Leroy Jethro Gibbs (NCIS). ☺️
Thanks for the suggestion!
Where the Power of Silence was #SomethingSomething like this between #MichaelCorleone & his BodyGuard Al Neri in #TheGodfatherPart2 , #LucaBrasi was a tool of #UtmostDestruction for #DonVitoAndolini ❤
Good point!
Speak less than you know
Have more than you show.
But this MUST be preceded by hard work and achievements, unsuccessful and financially poor people do not , and can not , wield the power of silence. It's the sword of the powerful.
Yep, good observations, agreed!
Think how others think.
Michael was taught this expertly by Vito
Just a suggestion try a slower phase and gradual pauses when narrating, might sound better with your voice..
Thanks for the feedback. Still new to this so will take this on board!
@@QuietlyMagnetic Ya! You have a Great Content only needs good presentation. All the best!
Yes. This is a fact
Yes an immutable law of power!
Make the sound slightly higher please. Great video though 5 ⭐
Thanks for the feedback! I have hopefully done this for my subsequent video on Tommy Shelby and will definitely do this for the current video I will publish soon.
Great video. What's that song that plays from the beginning? I think it repeats
Thanks appreciate it. I’ll have to double check the edit and get back to you with the name. It was a segment I extracted from an instrumental on Epidemic Sounds.
The track is called Elliptik and is by the artist Expanding
Tywin is a master of silence. In the books.... One of the mad Kings ass kissers made a joke about Tywin.... Everyone laughed... And Tywin looked.... And looked.. And looked.... And looked.... And the man that made the joke got up and left.... Ha ha. Tywin didnt say a word and took the man's soul.
What an excellent example, thanks for sharing!
I bought good quality suites for going to Office theaters art exhibitions and shooting scenes ! that's just what it is !
👍
What movie is on 3:29 to 3:42 ? Thanks for those who will answer
It’s called the Pallbearer
brilliant
Thanks for watching!
Mob life in many ways is like sports I'm finding out the older I get how evil sports is regarding the business side. Knowledge is power we wouldn't have ever known that certain sports are rigged. It wouldn't have been known 50 or 60 yrs ago
Anything involving money and power, always attracts some consumed by greed, which includes the sporting world and the economics involved definitely.
The daily expression of power by Vito and Michael Corleone are often not displayed by physical strength or traditional hyper-masculine personas. Instead, their power, as gladiators in suits, is always first conveyed through the way they carry and conduct themselves.
Strange seeing my words written!
The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, as quoted in the video, is a masterpiece dissecting the practical art of 🔋
100% masterpiece
By contrast, Fredo talks too much and by doing so, signs his own death warrant
Yep exactly what I wanted to convey with the scene of Fredo running his mouth of having been to Cuba before!
