What’s the movie The Godfather about?
Discover, Marlon Brando and Al Pacino starring as Vito Corleone and his youngest son, Michael, respectively in : “The Godfather”.
It is the late 1940s in New York and Corleone is, in the parlance of organized crime, a "godfather" or "don," the head of a Mafia family. Michael, a free thinker who defied his father by enlisting in the Marines to fight in World War II, has returned a captain and a war hero. Having long ago rejected the family business, Michael shows up at the wedding of his sister, Connie (Talia Shire), with his non-Italian girlfriend, Kay (Diane Keaton), who learns for the first time about the family "business." Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and winning for Best Picture, Best Actor (Marlon Brando), and Best Adapted Screenplay, The Godfather was followed by a pair of sequels.

Still to this day you worry the gun isn’t going to be there lol.
I’m not. I know the gun would be there since I put it myself (I played the videogame).
Or that it would jam.
I know, right!?

This was filmed 49 years ago. It's still just as shocking a scene now as it was when it was released. Timeless film.
Technically, it was filmed 50 years ago.
SuperSix Delta why is Tessio doing a crossword puzzle so enthusiastically when important things are taking place?
All greatness is timeless. Frank Lloyd Wright, Francis Coppola, Gold, The human soul.
@@davidburkholder7360 What does does FLW have to do with this classic film. He was a rip off artist
no its not.
According to Diane Keaton, Coppola thought that Al Pacino was perfect for the role of Michael Corleone against the opposition of the entire film studio and producers who wanted him out, they all thought he wasn't good for the role. But then Coppola jumped the gun and shot a single scene, ahead of schedule, with Al Pacino and after watching it everyone agreed that Coppola's choice was genius. This was that scene.
L.p.
@@set65 Al was 32 when this was filmed in 1972.
@@set65 I remember watching this movie for the first time 20 years ago. I couldn’t believe Michael was Al Pacino until someone looked up a picture of him young and shoved it in my face.
And in other news that people have known about for many years.....
I mean the guys from the studio just saw what Al Pacino would do to them if they refused. It was a no brainer after that (as in, he would blow their brains out).
What I love about this scene is that it actually goes according to plan. Usually when characters go “here’s what we’re gonna do” and explicitly lay out a plan, it’s a dead giveaway that something’s going to go really wrong. Watching Michael pull it off is still one of the biggest thrills I’ve ever experienced from a movie
No he dropped the gun wrong
More or less. He didn't do 2 shots each in the head, and he didn't drop the gun carefully (with his hand at his side).
@@sailbatten2056 true Michael makes a couple missteps out of nervousness, which adds to the realism for me. I was mainly talking about him successfully pulling off the murders and making it to Sicily
biggest thrill? Although its fiction its still a double murder you freak.
@@keirmardy2267 {sigh}. You _do_ understand that despite their role in organized crime, the Corleone family are the protagonists in this film, right? The antagonists are the guys that are threatening the life of his father, and have even attempted killing him twice already. "Thrill" is appropriate. Perhaps think things through before you call someone a freak, hmmmm?
I love how the Train Sounds shows us how panicked Michael was in his Head. In the Book, almost everything to Michael at this time was a Blur to him.
I always attributed the train sound to a train arriving at its station, symbolizing Michael’s worked up the courage to pull the trigger. What enforced this idea of mine was the natural screaming of the train serving to muffle the gunshots.
Plus Michael’s face when the train shouts to me “This is my moment!”
It’s a good way to convey the tension and anxiety of the scene.
your wrong.
Yall niggas kap
Ne, Ne, Nee. Ist der covering up of der gun sounds he is vaiting for.
I love how everyone always talks about this moment like it’s so surprising, when everything basically goes according to plan. Just goes to show how genius this film is.
I know right
They added to the drama when Michaal reached up and didn't find the gun right away. We all heard sonnys voice talk about don't let my brother come out of the bathroom with just his d*ck in his hand.
@@rpierce3336 also the fact that he sat down again like he got cold feet.
@@marcellXcatalyst he sat down again because they were looking at him when he came out of the bathroom. That was calculated, if he pulled his gun they would have reacted and he was to far to ensure he killed them. By sitting again, he put them at ease again, then stood up and fired 3 shots.
@@rpierce3336 If Michael came out if the bathroom with no gun he would've been forced to make a deal.
The last moment before he leaves the bath room, Michael hesitates and take a deep breadth. It was a great attention to details that Michael is going to cross the line where he will never be the same. Great acting by Al Pacino.
I bingewatched the whole 9 hours of Godfather one weekend. The final shot of Michael says it all. All the killing, all that heartache and for what.
Great film.
Same here.
2:22 When you complete a hit and realize that the gun you’re holding has been in a restroom all day.
The shot when he has left the stall and has his head in his hands physcing himself up with the train buzzing in the backround is beautiful
First he holds his head like he's nervous; them he slicks back his hair, like, let's do it.
I'll never know what it feels like to watch for the first time, in theaters, back in the 70's.
Every once in awhile, a movie chain might play the classics on their screens. I saw this movie on the big screen, about 4 years ago. Also saw West Side Story that way....
I know the theaters today should have a section or a whole theater where they play older movies.. if I had a theater I would love to play a lot of 80’s movies and have premieres on the original release date. Would love to watch First Blood and Rocky 4 and Terminator on the big screen
Lucky you
@@ncasti Yeah, but that doesn't help the OP. He only gets one first time viewing.
I'm 71 and here to tell you, it was awesome!
Most of the people I've talked to about this scene agree that the first time they saw it it felt like their heart was going to beat out of their chest.
It's such a nice touch how he doesn't find the gun right away and panics that maybe it's not there.
Mine too, just everything about it is perfect! The fact they speak Italian to each other, that he didn't find the gun straight away, the tension the music creates, that he shot Sollozzo first, that he didn't follow Clemenza's plan exactly. Just MWAH 🤌🏼
Notice that Pacino ever so slightly bumps the camera as he's leaving. That tells you they were shooting in the tight confines of a real Italian restaurant (Old Luna Restaurant in The Bronx).
@Dankenstein nope...saw it...2:23....
How the actual F you catch that...LOL
How in the fuck did they avoid actually killing someone during the filming of this scene??
Oh, that’s right, Alec Baldwin wasn’t there.
Actually "Louies" was a real restaraunt at the corner of 213 Street and White Plains Road in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx if I remember correctly. I ate there when just a kid and remember those very same toilets. This scene was indeed filmed there.
1:30 - 1:32 This is such amazing acting. His face tells it all. For some reason, this is my favorite part. And he was completely zoned out, but when Sollozo started talking to him, that "woke" him up.
Always thought it was the train going by that woke him
@@fishsquishguy1833 I actually never realized that there was a actual train that was riding by, I always thought it was a sound effect put in to represent the chaos in Michael's mind
He was waiting for the Subway train to make a little bit of background noise!! Nice....
He need train' noise to cover up the gut shot to prevent the followers to get in to help.
Tell you what this exact scene made me watch the trilogy and became one of my favorite film if all time. Especially Godfather 2
Hollywood sure doesn’t make movies like this anymore.
For real. Nowadays in Hollywood, when you get shot in the head you don't try to reach for you throat. Your character falls dead.
Do you mean mafia movies? They do….
@Laughing Batman That was a Great film.
@Laughing Batman the last one
Hollywood did not make films like that back then. They made The Godfather and Godfather 2. No other “films” were made back then that were like them.
"I have frisked a thousand young punks"
- McCluskey's last words on this planet.
How’s the food in this Italian restaurant? Good. Try the veal. It’s the best in the city, you won’t eat nothing else after you taste this tonight.
“I have frisked a thousand young pricks”
Some random priest
And Michael would be punk number 1,001. It would be the last one for the miserable old bastard...lol
Yup his last words were bragging about feeling up young boys.
And his last meal
Moral of this scene: frisk your man after taking a leak, not before.
Yes they should have knew that what if we come back with something they should have knew don't leave all my site
When you involved in the mob, and a guy excuses himself to go to the restroom, run.....
You can tell this place has great food, the other patrons were so reluctant to leave their tables.
Plus, McCluskey kept right on chewing even after being hit with the second bullet. Food so good that he’d trade his dying breathes for the taste of it.
LMAO
They got a free show with dinner. 😀
Hey, it’sa all part of the atmosphera 👌
Pacinos emotive acting is masterful in this film.. Gets every facial expression right.
Let it sink in that this film came out almost 50 years ago and isn't matched to this date - that's what makes it a masterpiece.
Legend (2015) is a pretty good substitute
@@ass-master-deluxe if you're referring to the Tom Hardy Film depicting The Kray Twins, I agree that's a good film but doesn't come close to Godfather 1 & 2

Love the way Micheal sits down,and lets the tension build wonderful writing,camera work on his face u can see him playing out actions n head!great
And the sound of that train.
Michael was so anxious that he couldn't even hear Sollozzo's final words. However, he accomplished the most important indication: to kill Sollozzo first. The book shows how this was not random. Had Michael killed McCluskey first, Sollozzo could have been fast enough to react (and for sure shoot him with his own gun, which he most probably had). McCluskey was heavy and slow, he couldn't react quickly
A kid watching the movie would know that. Shut up genius
@@pauladam9317kisses for you
I don' think it was only that. The main difference between Sollozzo and McCluskey is that Sollozzo knew he had to be always alert in front of Michael, he had tried to kill his father after all, and he was just another punk like him, while McClusky never thought that Michael would dare to kill a cop, that is why he had to be slower to react, he had to come to terms first with the fact that the punk in front of him had a real gun and he was going to kill him, thus giving a precious time advantage to Michael.
@@Guamparrapo83 😂
He could only break jaws of indefense men
I read somewhere that in the original scene idea the table wasn’t supposed to fall over. But it made such a visceral impact on the scene that Coppola left it in.
From that seated position, when he falls on the table, there is no way that table would fall over.
Link? Or it didn’t happen
I believe you can see that it is a simple plywood circle set on simple table leg frame. A quick way of the set builders to make a round table. (They weren't expecting the tablecloth to come off, or they wouldn't have used period incorrect plywood.)
"I've frisked him, he's clean"
Michael:For now
I still don't get why he was worried about Micheal shooting the toilet.
Now for something like this, youre gonna need one gun. Youre gonna want something with more power than a 22. You definitely dont want a silencer, you want to make alot of noise to make the witnesses run away so they aint gonna be looking at you. But not the noise a 45 makes because that makes too much noise and a patrol car can hear that a few blocks away at least. Sometimes with something like this, you might want to go to the bathroom first. It makes sure no one follows you in, and it makes sure no one is in the bathroom that you have to worry about. It also gives you a chance to go to the bathroom. You dont want to be uncomfortable. It also is the place where your given gun is.
Would a small pocket .380acp work well?
...The Irishman.
A 22 is plenty big enough to kill someone
Clamenza actually says something similar to Mike just before this scene.
*Plot twist: Sollozzo wasn’t frisking him for weapons. He was just in the mood*
He was asking Michael for a date and poor him, Michael said no.
🤣 Yo' why have I always said this as well.
🤣
😆😆😆😆
He just wanted some Italian meatballs to go with his spaghetti.
"I've frisked a thousand young punks." Great line. McCluskey is overconfident. They're vulnerable.
McCluskey knew that mobsters never kill a cop, or a judge. That is one thing they can't do so he was 100% sure Michael wouldn't touch him, he was there to protect Sollozzo.
I guess the veal really was that good.
That makes no sense
Repent to Jesus Christ!!

If you look at the moment Michael shoots McCluskey in the throat the bloody wound is already on his forehead, then it disappears then reappears in the next scene.
Yeah. Big mistake
Yep. SOMEBODY got fired.
So how Mc Cluskey keeps alive after the second shoot in his head

Those precious bodily fluids finally caught up with Sterling Hayden
I remember watching this and hoping he wouldn't go through with it. Until this moment he was a good man. Innocent. This was his first step towards a very dark life.
He probably killed a few people in the war.
@@TheRealCaptainFreedom That wasn't murder.
Wow, almost 50 years old and still stands up.the sequel was good too.rare that it happens.

However, Godfather 3 was crap.
This trilogy is timeless and has no competition. Period.
The third doesn’t hold up as much as the first two, and because of that LOTR beats it as a trilogy.
@@ineverswag agreed
@@ineverswag Agreed
Third episode came up short. I see what Coppola was aiming for, he fell just short of achieving perfection. Andy Garcia, bless his soul, gave 110% to his role. Sadly, Pacino had forgotten how to be Michael. And Coppola's daughter, Sofia, despite her incredible beauty, couldn't act her way out of a ziploc bag. Joe Mantegna's Joey Zaza JUST missed the mark. He gets an A for effort. Sadly nobody could save the film. Now, on its own, away from its two predecessors, it's not a bad movie. It's just not on the same level as the first two, both Best Picture Oscar winners and deservedly so.
"I've frisked him,he's clean"
Michael "Yeah,right".
If you look closely at the second guy he shot, right after the first bullet hits him, you can see the blood cap on his forehead before the headshot 😂🤣😂🤣
well done
Godfather Stans: "No but you see this is the pure genius of The Godfather, the Bloodstain on his forehead before the shot perfectly foreshadows him getting shot in the head 2 seconds later.

This scene for me was the start of Michael as the Godfather. He stepped up, had the bravery to do what no one else wanted to. He even didn't follow Clemenza's plan exactly but this added to the tension more!

One of the classic scenes from Godfather, I just wish they'd put the entire scene here.
The scene has to start with the conversation where Michael plots it and volunteers to do it. From that scene until this scene is probably one of the greatest examples of filmmaking in history. Just what Pacino does with his eyes in the seconds before he shoots them is like an eternity.
@@cjlaity1 "It's not personal, Sonny, it's strictly business."

"I frisked a thousand young punks." And this was the last young punk he would ever frisk.
For me this scene was most like what was portrayed in the book. In the book, when Michael sat back down, he was so keyed up that he couldn't understand Sollozzo speaking Italian. It was pure gibberish. In the movie they show this by having the subway noise drown out Sollozzo and before that there was no longer subtitled translation
I never noticed, but both the turk and captain already had their headshots done by makeup before michael shot them. look right before Sollozzo is shot, the blood stain is already their; when McCluskey is shot in the throat, he also has the blood stain on his forehead. The magic of movies.
Remember that the bullet break the sound barrier
I remember the first time I watched it with my dad. I was 13 yo and this scene stayed in my head for a while. I don't think there are many scenes better than this one when it comes to the rawness of a cold-blooded murder
My grandparents were from castelvetrano Sicily, I grew up in the little Italy area of Kansas City called Columbus Park, my Nana and I would stay up late and watch these movies together, she called them her stories.
I will never forget the first time I saw the Godfather. I was in my late teens. I always enjoyed mob stuff but somehow got to this a little later than Goodfellas and Casino.
This scene and the buildup to it was so gripping I felt nervous for Michael when he was doing this hit. I felt like it was me onscreen doing it and was nervous that the gun was not going to be in the bathroom. Lol.
Interesting they could pull-off a scene like this without actually killing someone……Isn’t that right Alec Baldwin?
Si quieres saber algo mas sobre mafia, ven a la Argentina.....jajajaaa !!!! Un gran abrazo !!!!!!!!
One of the greatest movies, and one of the best scenes, but McCluskey head butting the table after taking a bullet to the brain is some funny shit.
Never gets old.... brilliant.
How Hollywood has fallen from these then to silly superheroes now
A fascinating piece of trivia: Sergio Leone was approached before Coppola to direct the movie but he turned down the opportunity because he thought the subject wasn't interesting enough. I'd love to be able to visit al alternate universe where Leone does direct The Godfather so I can then watch it and compare it to the Coppola version.
@@rogercowling5716 I don't know. I know though that Leone took a lot more liberties when adapting a novel than Coppola which leaves a lot to speculate. For example, how would Leone handle this same scene..? i think Michael would have been a lot less nervous/tense and far more assertive, even cold and clinical but that's just me.
@@rogercowling5716 I think we can fully agree on that. Cheers.
Such a powerful movie. When it came out it broke ground in so many ways. 🇺🇸
Dude my anxiety always goes up when he goes for the gun. Lol
Never bored to watching this movie ever
I love the morality play about complacency. "I've frisked a thousand young punks". Hayden, btw, was also a brilliant author and a thorough genius/rebel. He was picky about doing anything in H'wood and opted instead to spend most of his time hanging out in Sausalito, working on The Wanderer, his sailboat. He preferred only real "working boats". His book, The Voyage is page-turner.
This scene is so satisfying because it is a double revenge, a combo revenge, one for the family, one for oneself.
I ought to do the same to the oncologist and pallative doctor who conspired to euthanize my father, just 4 months ago.
Greatest movie ever. Acting, story line, setting.
What I’ve noticed recently is the quietness of the restaurant and bathroom. No music. No screens. No loud fan to Dry your hands.
Michael didn't wash his hands before leaving the bathroom.
Hygiene is important.
The covid police are still looking for him.
He also left fingerprints all over his drinking glass, the door knobs and probably other surfaces and could be used to corroborate eye witnesses that weren’t sure if he was the killer, even several years later. This only works in the movies. Lol. Michael would have most likely went to prison for killing them after returning from Sicily.
He was not a restaurant worker.

The way Michael dropped that gun was like an MLB player flipping his bat after hitting a very satisfying home run. 😂
My favorite scene in the movie! I love how Michael’s eyes bounce around before he kills them!
Wonderful
