What if your enemies are more intelligent than you. I usually let my business associates talk more and they do. But now they wait for me to talk . I am not being able to understand what's going on their minds. But I am sure they are plotting something against me
Thanks Justin! When you dive deep into it, it really makes you appreciate the excellent writing and why the film is considered as one of the greatest of all time 🍿 🎥 Glad you enjoyed!
I give respect to vito cuz he literally built an empire from nothing 💯 while respects to michael for his aggressive expansion didn't go through the struggles that are associated with building an empire, running it and ruling it he did. Plus Vito has got that iron fist concealed with soft gloves kind of vibe. He doesn't boast about him being the don but rather focusing on the actions associated with it. DON VITO all the way.
Vito knew Barzini was the puppet master because Barzini was the only don at the meeting that had enough nerve to reprimand him in front of the other dons.
@@TheGoldenKnowledge it was a parallel of don fanuci and farzini. "He brought about true change" in both schemes. Farnizi being a more technical and complicated approach, almost pointing out how vito had refined his power move skills. Removing emotion, playing along until it was time.
I love the theme of "conceal your intentions" through out the Godfather series. Im active enough on social media to realize people will be so rude to you just bc you took a certain stance that they couldnt stand. The more this happens, the more I realize I should be opening up like this to a trusted friend or family member rather than on IG or FB. Even if Im right in a situation, there will ALWAYS be people that see it the other way and will take it out on me, which is not chill at all and is super negative energy bruh.
If u watch the deleted scene in the 1st film Michael says u swore u wouldn't break the peace but I didn't so Vito retired without breaking his word then Michael took over the family and got his revenge on the other familys for killing sonny and trying to kill him. The scene is just before the talk they have in the garden
Mary lost her physical life, not necessarily her soul, from a bullet wound. What man has the power to either create or dismiss the soul of another? Did that bullet steal Mary of her soul? I doubt it.
the thing that is brilliant and consistent between the brando/deniro portrayals is,they both make the perfect facial expressions to express their "subtle disdain" or their "subtle differences in opinions" without coming off overly disrespectful or hostile, yet still conveying how they feel thru their facial movements. it may not be as apparent im the 1st or even 2nd viewing, but once u come to understand Vito as a character and the type of man he is, iys very easy to tell whenever he disagrees with something or how he really feels in any situation where he is keeping his cards close to his chest! micheal on the other hand has a tough time hiding his distain or dissapointment. which gives any potential enemy a head up or warning on what may come in the near future.

I love these breakdowns on the goat movie of all time, the godfather. There are a number of underlying subtleties that are broken down in these passages. Yet the one obvious truth is that Vito and Michael Corleone are smarter than everyone else! Let your enemy think he has control, let him think you are weak and they will fall prey to the weakest trait of human nature, their own arrogance. It is far greater for an enemy to think you cant wage a fight, than be so afraid that they are totally prepared for battle. Let your enemy have the illusion of control then pin him to the mat with a Mongolian reversal. These subtle and obvious aspects of the godfather make it the movie by which all others are judged. Simply the best ever.
@The Golden Knowledge Your point is actually also stressed out int the book. The very reason for Vito's presence in the Little Italy, NY, US is that his father and brother openly defied Don Ciccio and obviously immediately got mowed down.

@@anamariagutierrez2019 I really related to Fredo....he was the odd one out because he wasn't criminally minded. The stress he suffered with because he despised violence. Tragic sub plot. The actor John was in a close relationship with Meryl Streep, from the Deerhunter till his passing

@@TheGoldenKnowledge i appreciate it man your vids really help me I was watching earlier the iron man one and the joker being a beast in business and of course bro I’ll keep you posted if anyone comes to mind 💪🏽🔥
Yes, it can be said that Vito promising HE won't be the one to break the peace because he intended to groom Michael to succeed him, take revenge, and reassert the dominance of the Corleone family. But it seems to me that Vito promised that he would keep the peace because he knew Barzini wouldn't and he was right. Barzini began devouring the Corleone territory not only to grow in power, but to goad the Corleone family into breaking the peace. Barzini saw it as a win-win situation: If the Corleones did nothing, they look weak and Barzini grows in power. If Vito retaliates, Barzini can claim Vito's word means nothing and gets the support of the other families to wipe out the Corleones. The fact that Barzini used traitor Tessio to set Michael up for assassination after Vito's death shows that the real peace breaker was Barzini all along.
the key is this in my opinion: use force only when necesary, absorb and listen, act emotionless, impartial judement, be fair, be honest, be humble and have the same amount of love and hate.
I've watched many videos related to the Godfather, i scrolled through a lot of comments but no one's talking about Barzini. He was Vito's smartest adversary, he orchestrated the hits on vito and sonny from the shadows, almost got Michael too and if he had been killed with appolonia, Tom Hagen would've agreed to their deal. The only mistake he made was severely underestimating Michael but even that was understandable, one of the caporegimes already snitched to his side and the Godfather was dead, there was no way for him to be aware of Michael's true convictions
What I’m referring to as “behaving like others” is not STANDING out to where all the attention is on him…him standing out or standing up against people like Don Fannuci without any planning or thought would of easily resorted in his death 💀 Instead, exactly like you say, he quietly observed until the time was right, where he would THEN make his move from a planned and strategic place 💯
Again another awesome post!!!!! Thanks for sharing the information!!! Here’s another question... the Don Corleones seemed to imply that Tom Hagen was not a true war time Consigliere. What do you think were the attributes of a true wartime Consigliere?
Thanks man! Regarding a wartime consigliere, I feel as he would not be afraid to make a bold move i.e. like the orchestrating the killings of the heads of the families. I feel as they're are 3 outcomes of a war: 1) You win 2) You lose 3) You come to a compromise and negotiate peace A good war time consigliere would understand the 3 outcomes, and understand that even though they're times to negotiate peace, there are times where you just have to crush your enemy totally I feel as Tom would be an excellent peace negotiator, but he wouldn't feel comfortable pulling the trigger and crush the enemy into non-existence...that's why he wouldn't make a good war time consigliere in my opinion...let me know what you think!
@@TheGoldenKnowledge I agree with you also I think that Tom didn’t have the Sicilian connections that he needed to get information ahead of disaster in wartime.... a lot of guarded information came from long established family and trusted contacts that even were established and lead back to Italy. Plus Tom needed more experience in people observation, he totally dropped the ball on the Bazinni being the real threat... like you explained in your 5 family video I am loving your posts! They really make you think! Thanks again for sharing!
No lie, your channel should have way more subscribers and views. From every video you can actually take real things and apply it to get further in real life
Vito has a different take on life than Micheal .. He had the right wife. She came from Italy and understood her role where Kay didn’t because she grew up in a middle class home and was a college graduate. She never accepted what her life was with her marriage to Micheal demanded.
The problem is, even people of modest intelligence will have figured out these principles for themselves. Your opponent will know at least as much about gaining the advantage as you do. That’s why it is so difficult to outmaneuver someone. Having an opponent who is a complete moron is quite rare.
This was a great video, as are all of your videos, and I thank you for them. However, my dilemma is a bit different. I'm 60 years old, and simply trying to make it another 2 years so that I can retire. But my workplace has become so toxic. I truly don't know how I'm going to last another day, let alone 2 more years. The owner of the company gave the company to his 40 year old son, and the kid has cut wages + added to our workload. He's also been quiet firing us old timers and bringing in younger employees. These young people, in their 30s and 40s, have terrible work ethis and zero respect. So the few old timers that are left are required to pick up the slack. We didn't work 40 years to end up in this situation. I'm just trying to figure out what to do. But the new owner isn't playing with a full deck. One young guy, age 39, was cheating on his timecard. He got caught. But did he get fired? Nope. He got a promotion. Two actually. 1st, he was promoted to trainer, and then, 2nd, he was promoted to supervisor. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Or is he just a fool to surround himself with these types of employees while crapping on the loyalty of the older employees? I want to quit so bad. But who would hire me at my age? I've only 2 more years to go to retirement, but that seems like a lifetime away. Keep your emotions out of it and stick to only logic. That's much easier said than done. Sorry this is so long. Thanks for understanding.
Being this strategic it makes you wonder why Vito didn't emphasize these principles with Sonny (his heir apparent)? From an emotional intelligence standpoint Sonny was the polar opposite of his father.
Vito Corleone may not be the protagonist of the films but he definitely steals the show in every scene he’s in. Especially with the late and great Marlon Brando portraying him. That’s not to say Robert De Niro did a crap job at portraying him. De Niro captured the essence of Vito in his younger years. But Marlon Brando was the definitive prime of Vito’s height of power. If you were to picture Vito Corleone, Marlon Brando’s portrayal will almost always pop into your mind.
@RmTheGoldenKnowledge: Would you consider making a video on who is the better of the two: Vito Corleone and Tony Montana? Both were immigrants, both went through lots of hard times, yet both of their lives turnd out very differently!
The most wonderful video about The Godfather, an offer i just can't refuse❤ You deserved millions of sub's and I just wish you all the best for your future.... Man the way you point out the core of every powerful scene is such a class❤

However, my dilemma is a bit different. I'm 60 years old, and simply trying to make it another 2 years so that I can retire. But my workplace has become so toxic. I truly don't know how I'm going to last another day, let alone 2 more years.
The owner of the company gave the company to his 40 year old son, and the kid has cut wages + added to our workload. He's also been quiet firing us old timers and bringing in younger employees. These young people, in their 30s and 40s, have terrible work ethis and zero respect. So the few old timers that are left are required to pick up the slack. We didn't work 40 years to end up in this situation.
I'm just trying to figure out what to do. But the new owner isn't playing with a full deck. One young guy, age 39, was cheating on his timecard. He got caught. But did he get fired? Nope. He got a promotion. Two actually. 1st, he was promoted to trainer, and then, 2nd, he was promoted to supervisor. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Or is he just a fool to surround himself with these types of employees while crapping on the loyalty of the older employees?
I want to quit so bad. But who would hire me at my age? I've only 2 more years to go to retirement, but that seems like a lifetime away.
Keep your emotions out of it and stick to only logic. That's much easier said than done.
Sorry this is so long.
Thanks for understanding.
Being this strategic it makes you wonder why Vito didn't emphasize these principles with Sonny (his heir apparent)? From an emotional intelligence standpoint Sonny was the polar opposite of his father.
I feel like the phrase "you can bring a horse to the river, but you can't make it drink" applied in Sonny's and Vito's relationship 💭
@@TheGoldenKnowledge word
Vito Corleone may not be the protagonist of the films but he definitely steals the show in every scene he’s in. Especially with the late and great Marlon Brando portraying him.
That’s not to say Robert De Niro did a crap job at portraying him. De Niro captured the essence of Vito in his younger years. But Marlon Brando was the definitive prime of Vito’s height of power. If you were to picture Vito Corleone, Marlon Brando’s portrayal will almost always pop into your mind.
"The loudest man in room, is the weakest man in the room"!
Slight error: Vito never promised that there WOULD be peace; not that there wouldn't. Very good though, anyone can make a typo. I do all the time!
Thanks for the heads up my bro! 🙌
Would you do a video on the breaking bad/better call Saul characters?
@RmTheGoldenKnowledge: Would you consider making a video on who is the better of the two: Vito Corleone and Tony Montana? Both were immigrants, both went through lots of hard times, yet both of their lives turnd out very differently!
Great movie...
Do a breakdown of tony soprano from the sopranos
Do Hans Landa from inglorious basterds
How's about one on "The Drop", and Tom Hardy's character? (some similarities to Vito now i think about it)
Do sully and Dushane from top boy
u really caught essence. i even thought now that car that almost run vito over was a massage after killing a previous don of neighborhood .
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed 💯
@@TheGoldenKnowledge good job on analysis
The most wonderful video about The Godfather, an offer i just can't refuse❤ You deserved millions of sub's and I just wish you all the best for your future....
Man the way you point out the core of every powerful scene is such a class❤
Thank you Nicholson! I'm glad that this video provided with you some valuable insight 💭 Wish you nothing but success! 🙌
Are you done making videos.
How about Raymond from the blacklist or Dembe from the blacklist
