  • The HIDDEN Mistake that allowed Michael Corleone to know it was Carlo Rizzi How did Carlo Rizzi Betray Michael and Sonny Corleone? | The 48 Laws of Power Explained
    In the Godfather, the one event that completely changed the paradigm of the Corleone family’s fight for supremacy, was the trap placed for the acting don, Sonny Corleone. There was someone within the family that had conspired to have him taken out, a traitor. However after years of rebuilding, Michael finally confronts this traitor after years of putting them at ease, giving them a false sense of security. As we all know, this traitor was Carlo Rizzi. So the question that we all have been wondering, is how did Michael know, Although we can assume that he concluded that he saw through that.
    However, upon looking into this further, it's actually not as simple or clear as we all thought, rather was actually quite shocking….
    At the height of the 5 families war, Carlo betrayed the Corleone family and played a crucial role in taking out the acting boss, Santino Corleone, Shifting the balance of power in the war. After sonny was taken out, the don gathers what strength he had left, and goes to negotiate a peace deal with the other families. Which put them in a bad position, however he knew that if the family was to survive, he would need some time, and make sure his son Michael is back to takeover and regain their position on top. And so, after Micheals return, a couple years go by and he is now the new don, and the time had come to settle all the families unfinished business. One of them was avenging his older brothers murder. But after seemingly giving Carlo more responsibility and having him enter the closely knit inner circle, even becoming godfather to his son, Michael confronts Carlo on his betrayal, which completely shocks him. But the question we all have, is how, how did Michael uncover that it was Carlo who had betrayed the family and had pulled that little stunt courtesy of don Barzini. How was Michael able to even get a confession from Carlo, revealing the final thread of this scheme. After Micheals return, a couple years go by and he is now the new don, and the time had come to settle all the family's unfinished business. One of them was avenging his older brother's murder. But after seemingly giving Carlo more responsibility and having him enter the closely knit inner circle, even becoming godfather to his son, Michael confronts Carlo on his betrayal, which completely shocks him. But the question we all have, is how? Who did Carlo call? What happened to Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather? Did Connie know Carlo killed Sonny? What happened to Connie's baby in The Godfather? Why did Carlo betray Sonny?
    How did Michael uncover that it was Carlo who had betrayed the family and had pulled that little stunt courtesy of Don Barzini? How was Michael able to even get a confession from Carlo, revealing the final thread of this scheme? And why did Michael and Don Vito allow themselves to be perceived as weak and naive?
    Well, this goes back a lot further than you think…
    Yeah, This was part of a masterful set up that was years in the making.
    He somehow managed to skilfully utilise one of the most powerful Laws of Power.
    Giving us a true masterclass that you need to understand.
    So who is Carlo? Carlo was of half northern Italian and half Sicilian descent, he grew up in native of Nevada and former labourer, Carlo migrated to New York City following trouble with the law and later became a friend of Sonny Corleone, through whom he met Sonny's sister Connie in 1941 at a surprise birthday party for Sonny's father Vito.They were married on the last Saturday of August 1945 in a traditional Sicilian wedding at the Corleone compound, a compromise made in order to appease Vito, who was disappointed with his daughter's choice in a husband.
    To put things into perspective, here is a timeline of the events, to give us an overall view of the backstory as well as what led to all this.. and also summarise what had happened so that we can go into the important details.

    The fact he allowed Carlo to abuse Connie goes back to old school Italian ways. A man ruled his house and keeping his wife in line was expected. Like in The Sopranos.

    @TheCultureMafia  3 місяці тому +40

    Michael and even Tom Hagen managed to use multiple Laws of Power. Here are some of the main ones:
    Law 21: Play a sucker to catch a sucker - Seem dumber than your mark.
    Judgement: No one likes feeling stupider than the next person. The trick, then, is to make your victims feel smart-and not just smart, but smarter than you are. Once convinced of this, they will never suspect that you may have ulterior motives.
    Law 35: Master the Art of Timing
    Which states: Never seem to be in a hurry-hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time. Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends that will carry you to power. Learn to stand back when the time is not yet ripe, and to strike fiercely when it has reached fruition.

    You can counter it by playing humble. If someone that would otherwise be an adversary seems to be glued to your word & deed, and gives you praise or more responsibility, tread lightly. Show gratitude, but downplay your abilities and insights. Undercut their attempts to placate your ego by deflating it to them.
    THEN... watch them. They may get the message that you're on to them. If so, hostilities will get more overt. If they missed it, remeber Machiavelli's lesson on enemies; "keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer".
    Cultivate a strong ally close to them, and win them over. Make it personal for them, and alienate them from your enemy by putting them in the bad light. Then, when the hostilities become more open, they will choose you and be easily cut out afterward. If possible, make them the patsy for the whole affair.

      Disagree with that. I think in the back of his mind, Carlo knew he was more than likely a dead man. He hoped he wouldn't be found out as a traitor, but he really didn't have anyplace to go that wouldn't further solidify his status as a traitor....so he hoped like crazy that he could be forgiven against his own gut feeling that he really couldn't be forgiven. That was what made Carlo sit tight and take the bait.

    But when you think about it, the family would have looked much better had 1) Sonny been wise enough not to associate with Carlo, 2) The family ensured not to put Carlo in a position where he'd be capable of hurting the family...Maybe try to encourage Connie Corleone to find someone who isn't so untrustworthy and ambitious? Maybe you don't put someone like Carlo in a position where he has so little importance that he'll consider betrayal as a potential good decision, yet important enough to be able to betray the family in a way that ends up costing Sonny's life. I know that this is incredibly easy to say in hindsight, but it's equally as easy to pretend that everything that happens in the movie is the result of brilliant plans by the Corleone family...I mean, yes the movies are in large part about Vito and Michael's plans, but the very reason why they have to make those plans are because they ended up tough situations that they hadn't perfectly anticipated. Obviously you can't always control what your enemies are going to do, it doesn't mean the Corleones are weak or stupid, it, I just think that, while the plans that we see take place on screen may seem to be brilliant and very well coordinated, we shouldn't forget about the bad planning or lack of planning that led them in such situations to begin with. Maybe they aren't such absolute masters of the "rules of power" and such...Now let's be clear, I'm not saying that these aren't amazing movies :p.

    Excellent analysis. Of course it was obvious that it was Carlo who had Santino set up, but they way Don Vito and Don Michael played him until the time comes (too bad Don Vito had passed), it was really machiavellian. I would like to suggest you, to make a big analysis on Don Carmine Luppertazi Jr and how he used the "Laws of Power", in order to pretend the weak & fool, but ended up eliminating two bosses (Don Phil and Tony) and taking over everything. If you rewatch carefully the "Meeting of Minds", the "Last Sit-Down" and even the first scene Carmine appears with Johnny Sack and his father, you 'll see, that it was Carmine all along!!!
    Hope you 'll find it interesting and make it soon!!!

    Michael Corleone controlled his emotions perfectly. He listened patiently and carefully planned his moves. Nobody could know if he was angry or happy. You could easily assume that you had fooled Michael and not know he was watching you very carefully.
    Michael would have been told about how Carlo bashed his wife around and how Sonny bashed Carlo almost to death. So Michael knew that Carlo had the motive to hit back at Sonny. All Michael had to do was to pretend he did not care or know about how Sonny was murdered. Michael just needed some proof that Carlo was a traitor. Once Michael knew Carlo was a traitor he nailed him such that Carlo could not escape his fate.
    Michael had absolute control over his emotions but was also very smart.
