The sad fate of Michael, he was initially a sensitive man, a man who had avoided the family business and even his father tried to keep him away from it. Yet the attempted assassination on his father and Sonny being killed pushed him into being his father’s successor and losing his humanity, descending into evil and losing his family. A tragic arc for this character!
@@VILA1963 Yeah, a look that says: "When I married into the mob I thought that I'd have a happy, quiet, non eventful life with you and here we are. Why did you lie to me"...?
@rubenoteiza9261 Yeah....except the whole point was that she was not under the impression she was "marrying into the mob". She believed - had wanted to believe - that Michael was "not like his family ". As he had been at the beginning of their relationship.
Michael, why are the drapes open? BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM! Oh, so that's why they're open! Damn it, I just bought that lamp. I looked all over town for it. This is the third time this has happened today...When they stop shooting I think I'll go sleep in the den.
Imagine hiring an entire army to protect you and your familiy, and even then your enemies can get that close to not only whack you, but your wife aswell. Rocco proved he wasn't qualified for the job.
She was right. How could she imagine that marrying into the mob could be such a risky proposition...? There was nothing that she saw or heard in her past life that gave her the smallest clue that something like this could happen.
@ right; she didn’t have the benefit of all of these mafia films and and their presence in the zeitgeist. I like to imagine all of the wives watching the Godfather alongside their gangster husbands for the umpteenth time having totally different experiences, but learning just as much about their various realities.
@@davidlewis8814 I am particularly attentive to this kind of detail because of something I could see in real life. Years ago, maybe a decade or two, some mob boss was shot in front his own home in this city, in pure style Sopranos, besides his parked car. And of course the media came right away. What I could see in the newscast was the wife, maybe in her forties, that had left her car, or ride, about a block away and she was coming, running as fast as she could and from the distance you could see the anguish and desperation in her face, I think she was crying and screaming, the whole thing. That was real life. And the only thought that came to my mind was, What she expected, that was the most likely end to her marriage.
The scene where Freo's wife is screaming because she found two dead men outside her bedroom window tells me Fredo was in on it. The hitmen were told to make their way straight to Fredo's window where Fredo would have helped them get away, only they were killed instead. I believe Fredo thought they were only trying to intimidate Michael and NOT really tried to have him killed?
No. Fredo had nothing to do with the hit. Fredo was with his wife. Fredo didn’t slash the killers throats. Fredo could barely handle a gun. Fredo also later confessed to Michael in the boathouse that he didn’t know there would be a hit. Rocco was the rat. Rocco was in charge of security. Rocco helped the killers get in and slashed their throats when they botched the hit. That’s why Rocco was given a suicide mission at the end, to kill Roth and turn around and get shot on purpose. He got the same deal as Pentangeli, his family would get taken care of in return for his suicide for his betrayal.
@@DanBeech-ht7swFredo being in on the hit isn’t explicitly in the script. Fredo believes he was tricked (as evidenced by the scene where Fredo gets a late night call) and Tom believes that Roth tricked Fredo. Michael just doesn’t believe Fredo when he says he didn’t know. We’re never told what exactly Fredo did so it’s possible Roth was just trying to compromise Fredo. Also, Rocco being the traitor would make sense because Clemenza recruited him and everyone else from Clemenza’s crew (Paulie, Pentangelli, Cicci) ends up betraying the Family so it makes sense that Rocco would too
So, he and his wife were just shot through windows with open drapes. Then, he moves a large party of his family into a room together- and the drapes are open!!
For a wild 😝 scenario, what would happen if Kay was in on it, and she open the drapes as she said later this must all end!!! While she was dancing with Michael she said you want to told me the Corleone family would be legitimate in five years. It’s been seven years.???
@@pellergin Ahh, but how could they be assassins if they were killed before the shooting occurred? :) Are you saying one of Rocco's men opened the drapes and attempted the shooting? I think just saying Rocco opened the drapes would make sense.
What did Michael see that made him go to the floor just before the gunfire erupted? Who opened the drapes? Kay seems surprised they were open and so we must assume they were closed when she went to sleep. Household staff would certainly have access to the living quarters. But, I guess we'll never know.
Although , with his military background as a decorated soldier , kne would expect Michael to see holes in his security by the open drapes. Military men are trained to anticipate , spot and avoid traps , if they are to survive. As another colonel from sylvestors First Blood says ' Strictly speaking , he slipped up ' Or as sollozo said about Vito corleone ' He is getting antique and careless '😂

That is something I always ask myself. Why would anyone want to lead this kind of life where every penny you.ll get may cost you dearly at any moment and without the smallest warning...? Yet there are still plenty of people willing to go this way.
I still find it odd that the film seems to imply that Fredo took out the assassins after this botched hit. Who else had the chance? it doesn't take a lot of skill or precision to shoot two desperate, panicking guys looking to you for help during a moment of crisis.

@@Archedgar Fredo came clean with Michael in the boathouse. He was not involved with the hit nor did he know about it. Fredo also didn’t have anybody from his crew with him and he couldn’t have slashed the throats of the killers himself as he was in bed with his wife. After Havana, Michael found out Fredo betrayed him but knew he was not involved with the hit. He even asked Tom to get in touch with him in New York. Michael only lost it against Fredo when Fredo confessed in the boathouse that he did a deal with Roth knowingly (that he wasn’t tricked). Fredo never wanted Michael dead.

Is it possible the window was unlocked and the drapes were opened from the outside? Going into Michael's room with his sleeping wife would have been a suicide mission in itself. Maybe the assassins expected Micheal to be in bed as well, but got to the window too early and decided to just open the drapes for later. What if his wife did it because she was beginning to resent Micheal early on?
And his family didn't want him to go into the military. The training sure came in handy.
Always thought the same
Realizing the drapes were open and ducking falls more into the mafioso/street knowledge than military training
@@tobe1207 The scene in the bedroom looks like a soldier crawling under barbwire. You don't see many mafioso crawling around like that on the street.
@@walterswanson3867 Agreed. His moves were definitely the instinct of a Marine.
Sonny could’ve used some of that training 😂😂😂
The sad part is the assassination is preceded by one of the few moments of tenderness we ever see from Michael when he’s looking at his kids drawing.

"Michael, why are the drapes open?"
"Open? Dammit, they'll let all the bullets in!"
Lol funny. But the drapes needed to be open so they know when he is in the room. No point in shooting up the room if he ain't in there now is there
Genius
The shot with the music and Michael walking across the grass with two bodyguards is cinematic beauty.
The highlight of this scene is Rocco running lmao
Who was so trusted they had access to bedroom? That's the question.
Fredo
2:52 The only casualty that night was their marriage

Her look says it all. She is fantastic. They all are. What a cast!!!!!!

Hard to believe with all his security they got that close to his bedroom
And then didn't actually hit him. You only get one chance at something like that.

Yes, undoubtedly the dogs are familiar with others belonging there.

More likely, one of Rocco's men. The assassins with the slit throats, were likely killed before the bedroom shooting occurred.

Michael Francis Corleone. In this style of monogram, the initial of the family name is in the center, and the initials of the first and middle names are to the left and the right, respectively.
I just can not believe that they missed at that range with automatic weapons.
Rocco was shot after killing Hyman Roth. Rocco eventually paid for this attempted murder. He was responsible for Mikel's security.
Micheal had so many men on his property working the night shift like damn he had a small army
Yes mafia chiefs were fully protected. They led a dangerous life.
Fredo had nothing to do with the hit. Fredo was with his wife.

is that in the book?
Looked like an episode of 'Fear thy Neighbor '.
Wouldn't they have started blasting right away, not after Kay asked why the drapes were open?
They were probably some distance away from the house itself. Probably had to make sure Mike was actually in there and in a position to take a hit.
Someone left the curtains open; but who?
Attacking a mans home. Unwise.
she knew that moment she has to divorce him
It was Merle. The moron was hammered and didn't like Michael insulting him earlier. So he stumbled in and opened the drapes, then took the shots himself. One of cinema's great mysteries - SOLVED
Question is who made it a priority to close them immediately.
Actually, Kate saved Mickel's life...
I still think Fredo opened the drapes.
I have same initials.
Isnt it great being in the Mafia?
That is something I always ask myself. Why would anyone want to lead this kind of life where every penny you.ll get may cost you dearly at any moment and without the smallest warning...? Yet there are still plenty of people willing to go this way.
