- THE GODFATHER (1972) First Time Watching! | MOVIE REACTION
Right from the start, I couldn't have anticipated how much I'd end up loving this film. Now, feeling more mature and ready to grasp the depth of its narrative, it's become a true masterpiece for me. I'm eager for more Corleone-can't wait to hear your thoughts on it

#firsttimewatching #reaction #thegodfather - Розваги
The restaurant scene where Michael kills the two is a masterclass in tension and drama. Instead of music, the sound of the train heightens the stress
It's been 50 years, and I still weep for Apollonia. 😪 "The Godfather" is a modern day Greek tragedy, so the death of Apollonia, whose family was more Greek than Italian, is a profound centerpiece of the story.
Michael was doomed from the start. He had no hope of evading the mafia life that the rest of his family had accepted.
Even when he told Kay, "That's my family. It's not me," he couldn't look her in the eye. He looked down. He knew his fate.
Apollonia's death was a tragedy on several levels. First and foremost most was the fact that an innocent girl was brutally murdered. Next is the effect on her family that loved her. And finally is the fact that she would have made a better wife for Michael than Kay. Apollonia would have understood Michael's business whereas Kay never did.
The first time I saw that scene, it looked to me like Michael just flat disappeared in the explosion, because he fell into the bushes so fast.
Simonetta Stefanelli who played Apolliona made an Italian movie about a man with 3 testicles called "Homo Eroticas" Quite Funny
"I'm with you now." The KEY life-changing line from Michael...and the most tragic . And when the Don heard it was Michael who killed Sollozzo, he was heartbroken.
But he must have realized that, out of the three boys, Michael was the son who was most like him and the only one qualified to lead the family.
The Don's funeral--they've done a number of very subtle things here. Note that Michael has no opportunity to grieve for his beloved father. Mike saved Vito's life in the hospital but at the funeral he simply sizes up each person, friend and enemy alike, as potential assassin and traitor. As each person he loves is taken from him, Michael loses a part of himself, loses his empathy, and loses his joy in life. All that is left is his role as the Don. It's sad and continued to the inevitable conclusion in Part II.
The guy at the hospital was Enzo the baker. He was the Italian POW that the Don helped to stay in the US after WW2. He paid his debt to the Don that night.
When Enzo showed up at the hospital, he was there because he was allowed to stay in the USA due to Vito's influence. It was discussed in the opening. His father-in-law made Connie's wedding cake.
🍞 Enzo the baker.
@@lewstone5430 I'll bet Enzo catered baked goods to the Corleones from then on.
When you consider everything, casting, performance of the actors, the cinematography, lighting, story, script, score and direction, this is the best movie of all time.😊
14:55 It wasn't a fake head, it was a real head that they used. The Screen Actors Guild didn't adopt animal rights codes until after this film was released. The studio had encouraged Francis Ford Coppola to use a fake horse head, but he didn’t like the mock-up. His scouts found a horse ready for slaughter at a dog-food plant in New Jersey. The art director picked one that looked like the horse in the film and said, “When that one is slaughtered, send us the head.” Coppola later remembered, “One day, a crate with dry ice came with this horse’s head in it.”
People freak out about the horse, but nobody cares about the fish.
All this time I thought it was the head of the $600,000 stud. That's a relief.
The craziest coincidence about The Godfather was Al Pacino years after appearing in all 3 Godfather movies began researching his family tree and got a huge shock when he looked up his grandfather's birthplace.
Corleone, Sicily.
He only divulged it on an interview on Inside The Actors Studio
Amazing! I never knew until today that Al's family had been from Corleone all along.
Also his nickname as a child was "Sonny". It was his Mother's side that came from Corelene, Sicily. Both parents are Sicilian.
Interesting fact
The role of Luca Brazi was played by Lenny Montana, an Enforcer for the Colombi Family. The original actor for the role had a stoke and Coppola decided to us Lenny. Lenny was so nervous he kept repeating and kept fumbling his lines as he practiced them. He even choked up when appearing before Brando. Coppola thought the shot were perfect.
In the novel, when Apollonia's family meets Michael, they think of him as being like a prince.
My favorite scene is when Tom tells the Don about Sonny. So powerful, with understated acting that makes it even powerful. Brando was amazing.
Aside from Marlon Brando, who else could have done as incredible as he?
You're going to LOVE part 2. Don't wait too long to watch it please.
Fredo was a last- minute stand-in for Paulie, who was supposed to protect Vito Corleone. Paulie called out sick but was taking drugs. Fredo, the older son, is incompetent. This is why Corleone was vulnerable.
Some of the scenes are taken from the real pages of organized crime. For example, Corleone's shooting is exactly what happened to Johnny Torio, Al Capone's mentor. The meeting of the heads of the Families actually took place.😮😮
The horse head was real, but the horse wasn’t killed for the movie. The props department bought a head from a horse that was already set to be slaughtered at a dog food plant.
The Baptism baby was Sophia Coppola, daughter of the director of the film. She is the only actor outside the main characters to have appeared in all 3 Godfather films. She plays Connie's baby Michael here, an uncredited child on a ship in GF2, and a main character as Michael's daughter Mary in GF3.
And Talia Shire (Michael's sister and Adrian in Rocky's movies) is the sister of Francis Ford Coppola, the director.
She was fantastic in this movie. She played a convincing infant.
@@jd-zr3vk Officially my new favorite UA-cam comment 👩🍼😁
@@marcfromparis333 I'd forgotten that! Good job.
YEP!!! 😁😉🇺🇸
Vito’s sons all had a part of his greatness. Michael was calculating and a patient planner. He was the one who saw the nuances in all that was said and unsaid. Santino had the passions and willingness to embrace violence. Freda had the old man’s love and enjoyment of the pleasures of life.
Excellent observation.
The opening speech was done by someone who basically did TWO things outside of this movie, BOTH "small parts". And yet, he did such an amazing job, in front of an ICON of the industry that it has become one of the most compelling and legendary opening speeches ever put on film.
I love the difference in the Corleone's (including Tom Hagen) personalities, their similarities, etc. They are all very masculine in different way's. They value respect, honor, loyalty, and friendship to varying degrees. Vito is the pinnacle of what makes a man a real man with power, respect, honor, integrity, and he values mutual friendship, but doesn't give so much as to be seen as weak by others. Sonny is a smart tactician, and knows the streets well, but he is a hot head, and even he knows this, and it's something he is obviously wrestling with to overcome, but unfortunately lost his life due to simply getting emotional and not thinking through the risks of taking off alone ahead of his protection. Michael shares a lot of his fathers personality, but through loss, and suffering, he becomes cold, calculating, and treats potential threats as enemies before they even fully present themselves. It starts out with taking out the leaders of the 5 families all at once, but you will see in Godfather 2 how Michael's views get even colder to the point of complete tragedy. Fredo is the most misunderstood character in my opinion, although there are many truths in him being weak, willfully ignorant, overly trusting, and somewhat stupid, and too sentimental about people to the point that he can be taken advatage of easily by smarter people who gain his trust, or admiration. Tom Hagen is actually the adopted son of Vito Corleone, and he isn't a Ciccilian. Tom Hagen is actually the most similar character to Vito Corleone in personality, his values, his intelligence, and his patience. He never shows his cards, and he shows complete respect while not being stepped on at the same time. He doesn't think emotionally, he thinks logically, and he really thinks before he speaks. He shares a lot of Michael's personality without the wounds, and the flaws that Michael carries with him, and that's not to say that Hagen didn't have a tougher life overall than Michael, or Sonny. He did, but Tom Hagen is the strongest man in these films outside of Vito, hands down. He would have been the Don to succeed Vito if he was Vito's son by blood. Unfortunately, he wasn't.
my favorite moments are watching you get the emotional impact of Marlon Brando/The Godfather. WHen he was sad, you were sad. When the Don cried, you cried. When he felt regret at Michael's life, YOU felt regret. You really, really get this movie. Well done.
That’s the talent of Brando, perhaps the most talented actor of the 20th Century in a field crowded with talent. The ability to take an internal state and truthfully transfer it to one’s face and body, to communicate it, is the actor’s art. But it requires one thing that the actor cannot provide: a viewer that pays attention.
"C'ce la Luna", the song Sra. Corleone and the old man were singing at the wedding, is a comic Sicilian folk song about a "coming of age talk" between a mother and her daughter that has a sexual meaning (all buried in double-entendre). That's why everyone is laughing and enjoying the gestures of the old man. BTW: the hospital Vito Corleone was in was the hospital I was born in (French Hospital)
Johnny Fontane is performed by Al Martino, a real singing celebrity with the style of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, and Vic Damone.
Pacino's grandparents were from Corleone, Sicily
Marlon Brando "The Godfather" found the kitten wandering around the studio and decided to put it into the scene.
Marlon Brando has always been an animal lover. :-)
Oh yes))), it was beautiful)
It was Francis who found the cat and gave it to Marlon
Favourite moment? "Pop... I'm with you now. I'm with you." Hits like a hammer every time.
My favorite is when the nurse comes through the door. To most people, it's a jump-scare.
The cat on his lap was completely unplanned. It was on the set one way or another and wound up in his lap. Brando, being the brilliant actor that he was, just went with it and it completed the scene somehow. Showed a softer side of the character without being too obvious.
That day, the set was the interior of the house that the producer had leased on Staten Island.
Leave the gun, take the cannoli. Lol my favorite line
👌
My favorite behind the scenes thing is when Michael is trying to find the gun taped to the back of the toilet tank. Coppola had a stage hand move it up and to the left so that Pacino would be panicked trying to find it.
Yes! One of the best movies ever made. Thank you for this reaction 🤘!
No problem!!
The way Don Corleone works really is by the friendship. He does something for you, you do something for him, as friends do, looking out for each other. In the book, when Vito comes to the funeral parlor, Buonasera is terrified that he's going to ask him to take care of some murdered body or something like that. Instead, Vito simply wants his usual funeral services for his son. He's not like the bad Mafioso which demands protection money or otherwise extorts or steals from people. He has a sense of honor. And the name "Godfather" is not coincidental.
Now, when Michael has the sit-down with Carlo and asks the questions, Michael isn't totally sure that Carlo was a traitor. He's strongly suspects it, but he isn't sure. He needs a confession. And he skillfully gets it. And Carlo gets it too...gets garrotted.
Ya never wanna go for a ride with Clemenza in the back seat.
Actually someone pointed out that Sonny was Clemenza's Godson so it was fitting that he ended him.
Johnny Fontaine role is based on Frank Sinatra. Moe Green on Benny Bugsy Siegel. Talia Shire is Frances Coppola cousin. The baby at the end is Sofia Coppola Frances daughter.
A strange fact is despite winning the Academy Award for Best actor in the Godfather ,Marlon Brando,In Protest would not accept the Award.He sent an American Indian girl to the stage to protest the mistreatment of American Indians.
Greatest movie of all time, and Godfather 2 is also amazing.
It was only his third film as a professional actor and Al Pacino, with his innate charisma, was already starring in one of the most important films in the history of cinema. Great
to be fair, by the time of shooting, nobody knew the film would become one of the most important of all time.
Fredo - John Cazale played in some iconic films before his death. Godfather (I & II), Dog Day Afternoon, The Deerhunter, the Conversation. 5 films over 7 years all nominated for best picture. An incredible run!
Yes. Great actor. Loved him in "The Deerhunter".
The greatest gangster film of all time!
Winner of 3 Oscars including Best Picture.
Peter Bogdanovich, Arthur Penn, Costa Gavras, Otto Preminger, Richard Brooks, Martin, Ritt, Sergio Leone, Franklin J. Schaffner, and Peter Yates were considered for directing.
Laurence Olivier, Ernest Borgnine, Anthony Quinn, Kirk Douglas, Carlo Ponti, Charles Bronson, Richard Conte, George C. Scott and Orson Welles were considered for Vito Corleone.
James Caan, Ryan O'Neal, Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, Robert DeNiro, Martin Sheen, Dean Stockwell, Burt Reynolds and Jack Nicholson were considered for Michael Corleone.
All those names are merely EXAMPLES of the almost endless amount of talent that was in 70s Hollywood. Unreal.
"The Godfather" is the only mafia/gangster film for me. Nothing else comes close.
@@Stogie2112I mean, Goodfellas comes pretty close. A different type of film but both are magnificent.
Bronson as Vito would have been a sight.
Greatest movie of all time
This was #3 in the 100 Greatest films of all time.
This movie is soooooooo good 👍
Al Pacino's performance was incredible in all three movies...
the movie Johnny wanted was "From Here to Eternity" not the main character and it was made in the early 1950s with Frank Sinatra
Well.... Life will never be fair.
Agreed
Woltz was doing the young actress they showed, she and her mom lived with him, and the scene with Sonny Tom and Vito talking happened Before the horses head
"Barzini is a pimp. I didn't know til today it was Catalone all this time"
😾Don Catalone: "Play with me!"
Great react to an awesome movie 🎥 💓 🍿
the real horse's head had to be handled with more care than all the actors combined
A long time since I've commented on one of your reactions, but this... There is so much to share with you!
1 - There is a miniseries called "The Offer" that shows the creation of the movie, all the way from Puzo writing the novel to the Academy Awards night where it won almost everything.
2 - Frank Sinatra was PISSED about the novel and the movie because the character Johnny Fontaine was more or less based on him.
3 - One of the top mafia bosses, a guy named Joe Columbo, was a very aggressive opponent of the movie's production...initially. The after chatting with Puzo, Coppola, and the production team he not only turned a full 180 to support the movie, he also got a lot of his guys to help around the set. The actor playing Luca Brasi was a former boxer turned mafia enforcer. The scene where he is fumbling through his meeting with Don Corleone was real, he was so nervous! Also it was these production assistants who got the "prop" horse head. They were asked how it looked so realistic, and they said "Do you wanna know the truth or be comfortable with the answer?" Rumors say it came from a butcher shop and was very real.
4 - Talia Shire made a name for herself with this series that led to an outstanding career. She is Coppola's sister and one of the very few people to appear in all three movies.
5 - Al Pacino was the production team's choice to play Michael, but the studio was adamant against him getting the role.
6 - Brando was Coppola's only choice to play Don Vito Corleone. Brando fell in love with the role immediately and immersed himself into the character. The studio head was so blown away by the first raw footage shot (the opening scene) that he was never doubted again for it. Also the cat... that was entirely ad-libbed by Brando with a random cat that wandered onto the set that day.
7 - The scene where Sonny beats the hell out of Carlo isn't 100% a fake fight. Rumors were that the actor playing Carlo was a real asshat and James Caan, who was a major movie name at the time, actually hit him with a few real punches and kicks.
8 - When Brando won the Oscar for his role, he refused it. Instead he sent a Native American lady named Sacheen Little Feather to deliver the following message for him: “Marlon Brando very regretfully cannot accept this award because of the treatment of American Indians in this country to-day on the television, on reruns and recent happenings at Wounded Knee.” John Wayne reported took such offense to this backstage that he had to be physically restrained by three security members.
Favorite scene, the long zoom out opening shot...One of the greatest in cinema history. Then the juxtaposition of the baptism and violence scenes ("I do renounce him") is another brilliant cinematic highlight.
And the slow zoom in on Michael as he plans the killing of Sollozzo.
It signifies the point where Michael officially joins the Family "business".
Fun facts to fender off the funeral feelings from this film....
One and best...Brando was a prankster, and laid in 4 50lb sand bags for his scene where the medics carry him up his home's stairs, making his stretcher weigh well over 400lbs for the extras playing the medics to carry....upstairs!
Another is that Brando got the whole cast into "mooning" eachother. For the uninitiated, to moon someone is to bare your buttocks at them...just imagine Sonny pulling up to that tollbooth with his ass out the window, or Kay being greeted by Tom Hagen in a very different way...
The early 1970s was one of the greatest eras of films: this movie, Godfather 2, The Exorcist, A Clockwork Orange, to name a few. I came to them in the late 70s and early 80s since I was born in 1966. But they are still among my all time favourites.
Offering Luca Brasi $50,000.00 in 1946 is the equivalent of about $800,000.00 today.
It's a true horse head. They bought one at a slaughterhouse, and the actor didn't knew what it was in the bed. Old time ^^
OMG!!!!!! NO!!!
😱
When The Godfather says look how they mess with my boy always brings a tear to my eye in the funeral parlor
Oh yeah, fully agree with you
Look how they MASSACRED my boy
When Clemenza says, “Hello, Carlo,” you know; you just know.
I love the subtle scene where michael notices how steady his hands are after the hospital incident. he realized he has what it takes. he had nerves of steel.
50% Animal movie based on Godfather because the director is the die heart fan of movie GodFather.
In hind-sight, it was a mistake to think Luca could pull off an espionage role.
John Cazale was in only 5 movies all nominated for best pic 3 won it, he was living with Meryl Streep and he died of cancer, he only did Deer Hunter to be with her, he was near death the whole movie
Rocky's wife... Talia Shire is actually the sister of the director Francis Ford Coppola
I Love Watching The Godfather!❤
For Marlon´s Brando character in this movie, Don Vito Corleone, Francis Ford Coppola put a jaw prosthesis in his mouth and a gauze, to give him that particular face. Brando was relatively young in this film, and Coppola pretended to age him and look more threatening.
Great reaction Emma once again, l im glad you enjoy this masterpiece of cinema its one of my favourites its becouse of this movie that Coppola and Pacino got their careers famous in some Hollywood. some fun-factsabout this movie, Lenny Montana, who played Luca Brasi, was a professional wrestler before becoming an actor. He was so nervous delivering his lines to a legend like Brando during the scene in in this movie study that he didn’t give one good take during an entire day’s shoot. Because he didn’t have time to reshoot the scene, Coppola added a new scene of Luca Brasi rehearsing his lines before seeing the Godfather to make Montana’s bad takes seem like Brasi was simply nervous to talk to the Godfather. The horse head in the movie producer’s bed wasn’t a prop. The production got a real horse’s head from a local dog food company. The line in the script only had actor Richard Castellano as Clemenza say “Leave the gun” after the hit on the mobster who ratted on the Corleones. He was inspired to make the addition after Coppola inserted a line in which the character’s wife asks him to buy cannoli for dessert. Keep up the good work.
The guy who played Moe Green was part of the Boston ‘Irish’ mob in the 60’s!
The Police Chief who Michael shoots - Sterling Hayden - plays Gen Jack Ripper in Stanley Kubrick’s iconic Dr Strangelove- a must see movie (dark comedy) about the Cold War.
the book ended with Kay saying the necessary prayers for the salvation of Michael Corleone's sould
Just like Vito's wife once did. It's good that the scene wasn't made to be the end of the film. Michael shutting the door on Kay is one of the greatest end scenes in film history.
Mario Puzo also wrote the scripts for Superman 1 & 2 with Christopher Reeve!
Yes mafia come from Italy and Italians so strong and beautiful people , so many actors in Holyfood Italians too and last Italy may favorite country in the world all time ❤🇮🇹👌
Great choice. And Godfather 2 is another to see... will explain some things. GF3... meh... fell flat for me but a watch is reasonable to complete the trilogy.
I dated an Italian woman (and later married a diff Italian woman)... the gf... she was a strong soul, a fierce love, just a badass who I had the great pleasure of being w for the 2 years we were able to be together before life plans took diff paths. She teared up hard every time at a particular moment in the movie i won't spoil for those who haven't seen ... lets just say she adored Sonny. And seeing Michael evolve through the movies, along w other characters... it is easily one of most rewatched 1 & 2... i can recite so much of it line for line as the movie plays... i know what is going to happen, but it still hits me.
Just like Shawshank or Schindler or Green Mile or other movies that just never age. The cinematography isn't as crisp as it would be now... but its looking back.. like polaroid pics from kidhood or scratchy albums/tapes... picking up a scuffed up baseball that your grandpa had held and tossed or smelling a kitchen that holds the air, the aromatic spices from your mother's pans. Glad ja watched. You give such honest reactions. 37K subs... people need to comment more... get those stats up for Emma! get her the flowers🌷🌷
Great reaction - I think a big aspect of this film and its impact is its matter-of-fact use of the mafia to show how business and politics in the real world operate - and it's also showing the American dream in the eyes of the immigrant communities who arrived at the turn of the century - and the transition in the business world from the family-based model to the more impersonal corporate model - revolving around Michael's tragic loss of innocence - my favorite scene is when he returns and meets Kay, how everything's changed - Kay is the film's moral center
41:18 "this year... are you kidding me... naked girl"
The piquancy of the moment is also in the fact that the actress was 17 years old🤫
The death of Apollonia still breaks my heart. 💔
Jack Nicholson turned down the part of Vito Corleone. He felt the part should go to an Italian.
i read Burt Lancaster really wanted the role too
Understandable
Maybe the studio had Jack in mind but Coppola never did. According to Francis's own words over the DVD, he wanted Marlon from the start. Someone suggested Laurence Olivier and he was open to that since Francis thought he looked like Vito Genovese but Olivier was Ill. Studio didn't want Brando but Coppola convinced them.
The studio thought that Brando was a wild one. 😉
Brando was America's best actor at the time .Huge Box office draw@@treetopjones737
Two points about cinematic style: (1) the many, many times that Michael acts while sitting in a chair. (2) Oranges. Oranges and the color orange are always present as a symbol of death.
DeNiro and Pacino never did a scene together in any movie, until Heat! They were also in the recent, The Irishman! The funniest comedy based on godfather ever, where Marlon and young Clemenza parodies himself, is the Matthew Broderick movie, the Freshman! A lot of people say, don't watch 3, it's no good. But that's a flaw because they are comparing 3, with two of the best movies ever made! Connie is the director's sister, and also related to Sophia Coppola and Nicolas Cage!!! Carlo from first movie is still alive, always mob associated, and tells in one of his books, who and why JFK RFK and Marilyn got whacked....and he's never been sued by the Kennedys!!! A mob movie DeNiro and Pesci did, that was a semiautobiographical tale by the main actor, who grew up in a small Italia neighborhood that's a MUST watch, A Bronx Tale!
John Cazale is Fredo, who's been in maybe some of the top 10 all time movies, including Dog Day Afternoon and Deer Hunter. Roth is based on a real guy , Micky Cohen. Who lived a very plain middle class life! But like Roth, pulled all mob strings. Everything bad that happened in this movie, Roth engineered behind the scenes, by innuendo and whispers! In the first movie where Sonny is screwing the woman behind the door, she gets pregnant and has his illegitimate son, who shows up in 3! And he's definitely sonny's son, his temper! Tom has a son who becomes a priest, and Michael's son is a opera singer, who wants nothing to do with the business! Connie is also Adrian, rockys wife! The singer is the real life story about frank sinatra! Before 1966, to immigrate into America, wasn't easy. U had to pass physical and mental tests, prove u have relatives here, prove u had a job or useful skills, and other things...Connie is Rocky's wife! She is a Coppola/Cage! Her husband in the first, is still alive, has been mob ties all this time, and has written books covering who killed JFK RFK and Marilyn, and why! And has never been sued by the Kennedy family! We knowost sequels arent as good as the first, and a handful are as good. This proly one of about 10 or less, where the sequel is better!And one of the funniest movies ever done is called, The Freshman! Marlon and the young partner of marlon in this, Clemenza, ( also in Good morning Vietnam, When Harry met Sally, City Slickers)basically mimic their roles, and the star is Matthew Broderick!!! And fredo was in some of the biggest movies of the 70s and early 80s with either Robert or Al. Dog Day Afternoon, the deer hunter, these two movies, and others. Everything that bad happens in this movie, is because of Roth. Simple rumor and innuendo, caused fredo, tessio, frankie, etc., to do what they did. The guy testifying in court, is Rocky's first boss! One of Frankie's asassin guys, was in Do the Right Thing, and The Professional and many other great movies. Danny Aiello. The FBI agent has been in every movie since the silent era 😅 dillinger, this, red dawn, green mile, Alien etc. Harry Dean Stanton! The difference between Vito and Michael is, vito did all decisions, and spent all his time, immediate blood family first. Michael put mob family first. Yes frankie did the hit, but based on roth telling him, Michael was going with the Rosatto brothers.When connie asked Michael to forgive Fredo and he hugged him, he was going to. But when Michael looked up and saw Neri, and Neri kind of lowered his head in disappointment, Michael knew he had to kill Fredo. Pro tip...the towel catching on fire, not. planned!😮😮😮😮
I loved it when Emma was yelling "AAUUGGHH!! IT'S BLOWING MY MIND!!" Hahahaha!! Yes, this movie will definitely affect you. Well done, Emma!
Greatest Movie EVER
!!!
Another great reaction video. I really enjoy your comment and insights about the film.You also have a wonderful voice.. Where does your beautiful accent come from?? Thanks Again.
The movie Johnny wants in real life was From Here to Eternity and the part was the Frank Sinatra role in that film, which likewise was a real boon to his career.
Michael's kindness died with Apollonia. 😞😞
More Francis Ford Coppola movies: Apocalypse Now, Peggy Sue Got Married, The Conversation, Tucker.
It's a cryin' shame- a stand up fella like Enzo The Baker can't borrow an ounce of respect from UA-cam reaction creators, just misplaced suspicion in the hospital scene, despite his debt (and therefore loyalty) to the Corleone family being clearly outlined by his father in law in his pleading to Vito at Connie's wedding reception.I never understood this, it has to be the most common blown take among Godfather reactions.
#EmmaReactions Do you know the cat in the beginning that was sitting on the Godfather's lap? It was a stray cat that walked on set and he just rolled with it.
Emma: I hope the horses head isn't real
Me: Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it was real! They got it from a slaughter house
Yes, you must watch Godfather 2, equally great
Best Movie ever made. Part2 is the second best.
That is the system, you have to have friends, it is still that way today with politicians. This is a great movie, top one hundred movies ever made. Enjoy the reactions.
Hi Emma.
Don't worry about Connie becoming a widow. She goes onto meet a boxer called Rocky who she falls in love with.
😉
The build-up to the diner shooting is one of the most intense film sequences I've ever seen, especially the few seconds where it looks like the gun isn't there.
U can watch the most detailed analysis of the Godfather on my channel!
I always got a kick out of them naming the undertaker Bonasera ----- goodnight 🙂
Wonderful, Emma. You will enjoy the second movie too, it's quite good. Thank you for sharing this one. I enjoyed watching it with you. 🙂
Can't wait!
Emma you did great in your research but missed one fun fact the cat in the first scene was not supposed to be in the movie. The director Francis Coppola found it wandering around the set and picked it up and gave it to Brando to hold. They didn't even know who if anyone it belonged to.😂
you're fastly becoming one of my favorite reactors
Sinatra hated The Godfather. Johhny Fontaine was loosely based on rumored incidents during Sinatra's early career in the 1930s. "Contract issues" that were solved by Sinatra's "alleged" mob contacts. Mario Puzo, who wrote the book, The Godfather, later described an ugly incident when he met Sinatra for the one and only time and Sinatra was barely persuaded not to punch him.
WOW!!!! I guess it's really make since!! LOL
I wish the still made movies like this. Movies for adults not over grown children running around playing dress up
THAT WAS A MERE ( 600K ) HORESEHEAD IN THE BED EMMA! 😮
Great reactions as you watched all this film proceed. You reaaly felt for the characters. The book was great. The film is a Masterwork. Amazing actors, costumes, locations, great direction and camera shots and editing and the musical score is epic as well.
So good!
Try growing up in the middle of Pennsylvania with the last name that sounds Italian but we're actually Russian. Italians angry, Russians angry, and for some reason Germans are exorbitantly angry.
This movie was based on an Award Winning Novel of the same name by Mario Puzo. Favourite novel and Favourite movie.
My favourite character? Sonny. What it does not quote do in the movie is to Address the nuances. It hints at stuff but without intimately being aware of context you miss a bit. It is a great movie to watch after reading the novel.
My favourite scene is the one where Sonny says how Mike is get brains all over his Ivy League suit.
Why? Well there was a lot of stuff missing there that makes you love and feel for Sonny. So let me explain.
Sonny was the eldest son. He was big, strong, tough and passionate. he loved his family fearlessly and was protective of them. He as reckless, violent and street smart. He was never as cunning or clever as Michael or the Don and he was smart and self-aware enough to know that.
Then suddenly his life was turned upside down. He had to face off against the 5 families.. Worse still his Dad was incapacitated. He had limited support. Fredo the second eldest son had a nervoius breakdown and they sent him to Las Vegas, Tom wanted to buckle and gave him nothing to help him win the war he needed to win. A capitualted would have destroyed all the power and respect of the Family. His caporegimes Tessio and Clemenza wanted to break up the family into two families and half their strength and only he or his father could keep them away from that. Michael was the key. He was DESPERATE for Michael to join him. He was fighting outside his weight class. His ruthlessness and streets smarts had been enough to keep them at a stalemate against the other Families but that meant at best mutual destruction or an eventual loss at worse. He needed either Mike to join him or the Don to get better.
When he laughed and patted Mikes face and kissed his head and laughed about Mike taking it very personal, the caporegimes thought he was laughing at the ridiculousness of Mike joining him. They both laughed condescendingly.
Mike in the novel got angry and almost attacked his bigger brother but then Sonny, Still laughing explained that he knew what Mike was and he was the only one. That he has been waiting for Mike to crack out of his Ivy League suit and help "kill the fucks that are trying to murder our father and our family". He was laughing because what it finally took was a tap to the jaw. He was happy, relieved and proud of Mike.
As it happened. By bringing Mike in they managed to get around the imminent Solazzo problem and by the time Sonny was murdered, the Don was ALMOST ready to return and Mike was ALMOST ready to take over.
They got through that. The Don was still in recovery and not at the height of health but well enough. Mike was not respected or understood by the caporegimes yet and lead to Tessio's betrayal. Sonny kept the family together as best as he could and protected his family until he died.
He is a great and flawed character
the cat was a stray the director picked up and handed to Brando, Sonny and Lucy were both large where it counted his wife wasn't
Michael is marrying Kaye for status and convenience. He will always love Appolonia because she was the perfect wife. Kaye is in denial about what Michael's role is.
5:18 the photo scene when he grabbed and ripped it. He took the photo because he’s his own family. He ripped it apart because he didn’t want the other families to know that he was there or any other people know that that gentleman was there at the wedding for Vito Corleone.
