Rest In Peace Vinit !! I will miss your videos ,all of us will... your analysis made me appreciate the art of filmmaking beyond the stories and drama ... you had a great eye for the true art .... !!
I'm sorry is the creator of this video no more ?
@@me.arbaazkhatibsadly yes, heart attack I believe, right before the release of Oppenheimer, which he was waiting like crazy
My wife and I spent what I felt was a surprising amount of time scanning for The Godfather movie reviews like this. In depth and breaking down how it was put together. We wanted something more than some 3-7 minute recap. We came across this after a few rewordings of our search. 100% what we were looking for. I'm honestly shocked there are not more solid breakdown reviews of this movie. We honestly felt, after just finishing watching The Godfather earlier tonight, that you could have made a longer video covering this movie. That's the only criticism we can give. We enjoyed this video. Good job.
Here's a good one:

also... Al Pacino's eyes during the baptism scene & the restaurant scene...
Cold...like MJK...HaHa
Alexi AKS1 dead like a shark....
My favorite 😊
His eyes thru out the whole movie was intense & told us everything we need to know.
In the restaurant scene, he's actually pretty vulnerable, which we see right before killing Solozzo and McClusky. But that baptism scene, tho...
The godfather maintain perfect relationship between family and crime; that's why the godfather become classic

I love the way you critically analyse the movie not only plot wise but also technically. After watching your videos I have started appreciating a movie technically. It's good to see an Indian doing such an exhaustive reviewing of a form of art that is beyond the perceived notion of entertainment and glamour. Thank you for all the videos you made and will make. I wanted to know what according to you are The Best thriller movies of all time.
I can't tell 'The Best' but I'll give you my 5 favorite thrillers.
1. JFK
2. Teesri Manzil
3. The Lives of Others
4. Silence of the Lambs
5. Under the Skin
Cinema Beyond Entertainment thank u for this. Will watch
usual suspects all time!
Cinema Beyond Entertainment VERTIGO ,aces all of them.
Kaushal Karer I one word, vertigo.
I believe getting punched by the chief of police...carried a huge significance on Michael's psyche!
Sometimes...we have to grow up, all at once! Michael fresh from war...for country he loved and believed in...yet the man that delegated the protection for the populist could be
corrupted!!!
Meaning that Michael can only trust himself to protect his family! I never doubted him after that scene...
TIMOTHEUS ZAMORA I think it was more the attack on his father.
In my opinion Godfather deals with the inability of Michael to carry his family along with his business. Vito was very sucessful and Michael was no way near him. There were people who helped and expected help from Vito. But Michael only had paid criminals on his side.
No bro it deals with the legacy of the criminal family and the journey of micheal from a naive to potential successor of the family business. This film is great because unlike other gangster movies which deals with the killings, beleaguers and all the violant stuff, it emphasizes on the family life of the gangster (of course the story was adapted from the novel of puzo, but portraying it on thr screen is a completely different and difficult thing).
Michael's choice to marry Kay made a huge difference in his family. Maybe it was inevitable, I don't know. But Kay, as portrayed in the movie, could not be the wife of a mafia don as Michael's mother was a wife to Vito. Kay simply could not let things rest; she could not stop digging around in Michael's business; she couldn't leave him alone in that respect. It could not work because of her. (Mind you- Kay, as she was portrayed in the movie, is completely different than the way she was portrayed in the book.)
@@girllovesmusic but how is she portrayed in the book
@@georgeguja6155 In the book, she was 'the good little Catholic wife' who went to mass every day to say a prayer for the soul of Michael Corleone. She left him at one point in the book (after Connie's husband was killed) but went back to him and seemed to fit into the expectations Michael had of her.
@@girllovesmusic I always thought Michael married Appolonia because she was from Corleone and could handle the mafia life. If this is true then why didn't Michael just find another Sicilian woman?
You are a better critic than most other so called "film critics" of our country. Keep it up. You deserve much larger audience.
Timeless movie..............I saw it for the first time in 1998 when I was 18.......I knew it was legendary, but didn't quite get it............Just watched it the other day at age 37..........LOVE IT! Great masterpeice..........everything about it! I guess that is part of maturing and understanding the world! Great video and thumbs up! Godfather one is truly about passing the torch!
Lord Metaphis My friend and I saw it the first morning it came out, cold day, maybe half a dozen people in the theater....it just knocked me out; a few days l took other friends to see it. Line was around the block!
Born in 1980 like me then I think. This movie and the 2nd one hit me through some tough times. They kind of dropped the ball with the third one tho.
The summation the narrator gives at the end brought me to tears against the intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana. Thank you Vinit it was brilliant!
This is by far the best and most comprehensive review of the Godfather on UA-cam that I've run across. Very nicely done. :)
By far, the best analysis of The Godfather I've ever seen on the internet. Great work!
Been waiting for this for so long! I loved it. Thanks a lot!
Hey Vinit. I have been watching your videos for very long. This is my first comment on any of your videos. Since the moment I saw your first video, I have been aching to see you do an analysis of The Godfather, because somewhere in my mind I knew you would do it one of these days.
The Godfather is my favourite book and movie. As is yours, judging by your comment below. I have lost count as to how many times I have gone through this story in written or motion picture form, but it amazes me even now, after 10 or so years have passed since I first read The Godfather. Every time I watch The Godfather, I find something new, I didn't in the past n times I watched the movie. I cannot begin writing the film's praises because that will take too many words. Instead, I will focus on appreciating the wonderful work you have been doing.
From one cinema lover to another, thank you for doing this!
Your silent patron.
This is awesome, thank you for taking the time to make another great analysis of this amazing film. Let me just say don’t forget to let your videos breath so we, as an audience, can take in the your personal analysis. Keep up the personal expression.
I found this channel very late. But now I've found it and I'm binge watching. Make a video on Godfather part 2 also, plzzzz
Your observations are the best Vineet.. Awesome!
I hated expository writing in school. Decades later, I enjoy presentations like yours because I have some idea of the reflection and research you invested in fleshing out your thesis.
I watched "The Godfather" trilogy almost two weeks ago, and I still find myself pondering it along with "The Valachi Papers" which I like even more, despite its shortcomings.
Your exposition was well done.
Beautifully summarized.
Thank You!
you have changed the way I see movies. thank you
very well done and put together...certainly a step above what i'm use to seeing in the analysis of a film....thanks...
great essay! Thank you for putting this up. Really clarifies the situation.
edited and analysed in a way everybody understands keep it up
i've visited your page to watch one video but ended up subscribing to it and watched every video from last 2 months
Fantastic bro! The way you preach behind the curtain is grt. Analyse is way much better than any other critics! Please do analyse on Court and Goodfellas!
The way you expressed or explained the Godfather 1 is out of this world. You nail it every scene is a master piece
This is an amazingly insightful analysis.
Thank you very much.
You and nerdstalgic are my two favorite movie video essays teller.
Beautifully made and narrated, friend!
Love your channel! 😁
Beautifully & thoughtfully presented. Excellent analysis! I salute you Sir!
Where r u man.. Missed ur videos. I keep coming back to this particular one
Wonderful video essay
Well done. I’m glad you plugged in the axiom that is the family. The family beign the center is exactly what resonated with me. We all have a little bit of the characters. Well bone. 💯🙏🏾
What a FANTASTIC analysis!!!
I loved every moment of this. Beautifully done, thank you.
Amazing observation and analysis, subscribed.
that was amazing. keep'em coming
So many falasies, he clearly did not understand the story painted by Mario puzo.
Amazing breakdown. Salute!!!
Love your content bro.. thanks for this
I know you don't take requests but i would really love to hear your thoughts on godfather part 2. By the way,terrific analysis.Keep up the good work.
Oh Brother! What an amazing job you have done. Please keep doing this noble cause. This is what the audience need. May God bless you!
I am so hooked to your channel
Your analysis and adding to that Studio Binders analysis for story makes it compelling case study to watch and understand how a movie works best even after almost half a century later.
Someday I would wait to see Godfather celebrating its century in blowing movie lovers mind.
Truly beautiful analysis. Thank you!
Your last lines gave me goosebumps. I myself have thought about 'family' and its importance after watching Godfather. But, you fused those emotions into words really well.
Whole video was something, out of the world.
Pure gold!!
And, just came to know, that you will be focussing on script writing and film making.
With God's grace, you will do the best!
We want more people like you in Indian fim realm. People of your thought process, people understanding that film is an art.
Love ya
Whoever you are, these reviews you do are superb. And I read a lot of reviews.
Thank God this came out sooner than I expected! And it's seriously way better, more personal and impactful than CineFix's trivia video on "The Godfather". But this has also made me greedy and I can't help ask you... Can we see a video on The Godfather 2 as well? Coz I believe it's a very nuanced and complex film, arguably better than the first one as well and it will be interesting to see your take on the same.
On a completely different note, since you analyze films so well and go so much deeper than just their superficial aspects, I would really want to see an analysis on Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy, which I believe is one of the most layered and beautiful pieces of cinema ever produced!
'Three Colours' is in list. But will not commit any time! But it will happen for sure...
Assurance enough to keep me hooked to this space. :)
Unique Perspective! Well done
Superb analysis....An analysis on Old boy will be great
Great job, Mr. Vinit!
Your insights are generally well taken. There are a couple with which I take issue as an aficionado of the films. The first glimpse of The Godfather shutting out his family is not when the door is closed on Kay. It’s joy an act of shutting out at all, but one of protection by separating family life from business as he is acknowledged by the men surrounding him as the New Godfather, they kiss his hand and Rocco closes the door to the office. This is not unlike an earlier flashback scene where Dinero, young Vito, is eating with Clemenza and Tessio in the walk up apartment and he tells them that he will take care of the local don who is shaking them down for a piece of their criminal profits. In the scenes, Mrs. Corleone is behind the window separating the kitchen from the table. She casts a curious gaze, but this is her husbands business from which she is shielded, protecting her and giving her deniability for what is to come.
Rest in peace, Vinit. You're eternally here through your work. Thank you for everything. :(
Great video man!
You should upload videos more frequently!!! Nice work... Keep it up
i enjoy yoyr all videos. thank u bro . plz bro make more n more such videos.
Fantastic explanation!
analysis of ' no smoking'
This is one of the most beautiful videos on UA-cam about the Godfather. The world has lost a very passionate cinephile.
Rest in peace Vinit.
your narration! 😍😍😍
Great analysis!
You have opened a whole new world for me. I didn't realised the depth and complexity that goes into film making.
Thank you.
That's why most of the movies are garbage because people who make them want to make money, not movies.
@vinitmasram , u r a genius , thank u for making this channel
great explanation.thanks a lot
May you rest in peace brother, there will not be another Vineet who understands and explains cinema like this!
Om shanti 🙏
You can watch the most detailed analysis of the Godfather on my channel!
Great insights. 👌🏼
Thank you for a great analysis! However re: Micheal's hesitation when emerging from the bathroom - it's from the book. "He remembered Clemenza had told him not to do this, to come out of the toilet and blaze away. But either out of some warning instinct or sheer funk he had not done so. He had felt that if he had made one swift move he would have been cut down. Now he felt safe and he must have been scared because he was glad he was no longer standing on his legs. They had gone weak with trembling." Mario Puzo.
While there are lot of interesting points, this by far is one of your most bland analysis till date partly maybe because godfather can be eternally dissected, but the points where I am most dissapointed is where there has been negligible reference to the book without reading which godfather is somewhat incomplete viewing. Michael is not the one trying to gain trust of his family, Rather he is the ulimate hesitant hero, dragged into the family matter just for love of his father. He doesnt marry appolinia out of guilt but rather an intense love at first sight scenario beautifully explained in the book.His return to kay is not one of buisness matters but him being desperate at one last attempt to connect to his former self, his promise that he will return to being THE Michael before all the family drama. just my two cents
Agreed
Strongly disagree that it was bland. Agree that there were points brought out in the novel that are contradictory to his take on the film.
I don't however see that Coppola would have necessarily stuck to Puzo's narrative so am unsure about Michael's motivation to marry Kay. The love at first sight element with Apollonia is extremely evident however in my view and I don't see Michael's guilt playing a part myself.
Overall a very interesting video.
"Sicilian Lightning"
JACKHUNK34 I read the book too, but the film can stand on its own if someone hasn’t.
Remember he wouldn't tell Kay he loved her.
Sheer Brilliance Vinit!
Hello, just wanted to drop this comment. Your work is amazing. The in-depth analysis of each movie that you have provided so far is extremely concise and valuable. Every single of the review you have done so far resonates with me. I thank you for making such informative videos, particularly on Bollywood. Cheers. I will anticipate for the videos whenever you make them in future! 👍
this was very beautiful.....very satisfying explanation you gave
Great work ....
That was simply beautiful. An apt tribute to The Godfather. Thanks a lot.
Vinit why don't you make more videos? I love the way you look at films, shots and characters. Trust me, I finished watching Godfather today just to benefit from this video. Thanks a lot for sharing your perspective with us.
I am glad you liked the movie! I wish I could make more videos but the day job and other personal work gives me very little time to work on these! But I will try to come up with more stuff!
Cool :)
Excellent vid about one of my all time fave films!
beautiful my friend, thank you
that relating the movie characters with our own lives.... hats off bro... good work
Hey Vinit I am a great fan of your work.The way you analyze each and every aspect of the movie is just so delightful to watch. Will you consider analyzing any Wes Anderson movie. That would be great. Cheers...
Amazing!!!
Great work
this analysis made me cry
ok.. i love 'The Godfather'. BUT I enjoyed 'Godfather II' much more. . many of my friends also say they found Godfather II more satisfying. yet at most places i see the First movie named as greatest and barely mention of 'Godfather II".. why you think ?
I think it's because part of what makes part 2 so good is that it continues on from part 1. The story of 1 is more rewatchable and has a "happy ending" too which always satisfies audiences. Part 2 is more complex in my opinion which is why it may be a little overlooked
wow you gained a subscriber. good analyses.
Excellent review.
Totally blown away !!!! What an analysis...
Yes those characters resembles us ! True...
Excellent! Thank you!
Superb analysis....
Awesome breakdown of an amazing film
Fantastic analysis
Brilliant Vineet! Please don't take requests from anybody.
Wow... you’re good, really good.
Fantastic analysis. Question... Personally, what is you’re favorite American film?
Great analysis.
Such an excellent review. Man you are a good critic, #thumbs_up
Very satisfying commentary.
🙌🙌🙌 What does it take to have such immense knowledge about the film making..? Thank you so much for doing this.!
Bro, this was beautiful.
Dude. This was awesome.
nicely done sir. Thank you for such a great review of this wonderful movie.
There's a motif throughout the first Godfather movie of the door closing. This was taken from John Ford's wonderful western the Searchers.
