I suppose it is due to Frankie have such immense respect for Vito, that he respects his son as an equal. If Vito respected him, then Frankie should as well. The call back to the old times has Frankie feeling nostalgic.
Pacino, Deniro and Brando carried the Godfather trilogy to legendary status. Al Pacino was an intelligent choice, his acting and demeanor was first class and played his role with the highest esteem. Well done ✅
The roles of John Cazale, Robert Duvall and some others (pentangeli, solozzo, moe Greene, Santino) went over your head then. Yes Marlon, De Niro and Pacino were spectacular as phuck. But them movies had massive acting portrayals by so much more ppl too. Especially Tom Hagen and Fredo.
@@tonyfelder1206 They also wanted it to be a contemporary film starring Ernest Borgnine! Speaking of Ernie, I think he would have been a good Clemenza.
@ricardocantoral7672 I heard about Ernest considered for Vito recently. I agree with you about him playing Clamenza. Actually, a lot of people would agree.
@@nathaninostroza7655 you are right. Look at all characters and one will find all other actors were all so apt and accurate for their roles. Both look wise and acting wise
I think I understood what Michael was experiencing in that room. I'm near to 60 and last year I visited my home town. I drove up the street I grew up on and saw my old house and those of our neighbors. It was surprisingly emotional. Pretty much all of the adults I knew then are long dead. The friends I played with have moved and are, like me, looking old age in the eye. So many memories.
I agree with most of that, but in Michael's case it wasn't very long. Don Vito died in in the summer of 1955 and Castro came to power January 1, 1959. So, it was barely three and a half years since Michael had sat in that study with his father.
I am nearly same age as you are and I feel the same when I visited my childhood place far far from here. Almost all older people that I knew are gone and the place is not the same as it used be.
It's a sad thing, isn't it? I realized one day that I no longer recognized a single face in my home town. People were either dead or had just moved somewhere else. That's when I knew there was nothing left for me there. But you know what? That is also a positive, in a way. Why spend all your time in a place with nothing but old memories, when you can start a new life somewhere else, and make new memories? Nostalgia, in small doses, is a beautiful thing. But you have to be careful not to let it consume you.
Pentangeli was right. It was a street thing. After the Cuba deal washed out and the senate commitee hearings Micheal did what Frankie said they should do in this clip.
@rell517123 he was never terrible in any role, but his performances just became louder and more bombastic in alot of his films. It's like he decided subtlety wasn't important anymore.
@@rell517123 maybe. I prefer 70s and early 80s Pacino regardless. Heat is a standout 90s Pacino movie but his "SHE'S GOT A GREAT ASS, AND YOU GOT YOUR HEAD ALL THE WAY UP IT" is a prime example of what I'm talking about.
Al was at his absolute best as Michael. He never did a role like this with this demeanor again. Not even in part 3. To be honest I miss the absolute control character he played of Michael Corleone.
On a visit to Italy, I asked a Napolitano if “capisce” (sic. ka-pish) was a term they actually used there, to say “do you understand?” They didn’t recognize the term. Upon explaining what I meant, they said that they would use “hai capito?”, just as Michael Corleone does at 3:50.
@@the1evil2dead3 nope, in Sicilian that would be "capiscisti". "capeeesh" means nothing, it's pidgin italian from 2/3/4 generation Italian-American who cannot speak/understand Italian at all.

There are conflicting rumors about that. Castellano had been losing weight at the time and it was rumored that Coppola wanted him to gain his weight back to play the role again. But he refused for health reasons.
I always wondered about exactly that. Does he think Frankie did it? if so, why is he even bothering to talk to him let alone yell at him? I'm guessing he wasn't sure if Frankie was involved but he suspected and was testing the waters to see if anything shook out.
@@dillionoshea7535 Yeah that scene where Roth gave the Speach about Moe Greene is what you're talking about. That was Roth's way of saying - you killed my guy for business, i tried to kill your guy for business.
Im probably gonna get wacked for saying this, but i have never seen The Godfather movies. Only clips. With all the forgetable slop hollywood is producing right now, i need to give these movies a watch.
They are often quoted, parodied and imitated, and for good reason. They are (the first two) absolutely towering achievements of the Art and of American Cinema. Often imitated, never equaled.
I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse. I want you to watch the first two. Never mind the third. Play the PS2 game as well. And after that... I'm gonna ask you for a favor... And that day may never come but, someday, I'm gonna ask you for a favor.
Another scene that had a musicality to it was on The UK Soap Opera Eastenders where a character demanded to know where his FWB named Roxanne aka Roxie was. He almost scared Susan Mitchell aka "Honey" to death. 😊
Now, of course, there's no way to know what else was discussed during this surprise meeting concerning the situation at hand, the state of the family business in general, etc, but I've always felt that Michael kept Frankie a bit too much in the dark with the entire scheme involving Roth. Also, Frankie was surprisingly careless when he met with the Rosato brothers; he never should have gone into that bar by himself without adequate backup to support him, even to the point that he told Willie, his most faithful bodyguard and soldier, to wait outside. That particular scene was based roughly on a real occurrence involving the Gallo brothers in a bar in Brooklyn.
Michael is plainly testing Pentangeli, after Pentangeli had become rebellious about Michael's dealings with Roth, shortly before the attempt on Michael's life. I'd say Michael isn't sure at this stage whether Pentangeli was or wasn't mixed up in the attempt. Him telling Pentangeli to pretend truce with the Rosatos "That way I'll find out who is the traitor in my family" contains a veiled threat to Pentangeli, who eventually does get tricked by Roth and the Rosatos into actually betraying Michael. Cross and double cross, with "ordinary decent criminal" Pentangeli the victim of both sides.
_"Capide"_ It means 'understand' Actually let me explain this a little deeper. In this context it's being used as an interrogative. He's asking for confirmation from the other party. In English it would be like: "Do you understand what I'm telling you?"
What no one seems to understand is that Frankie was right; Michael should have taken them out right then and now. If Michael had been able to meet directly with Hyman Roth as he did (several times), then he should have been able to pull the trigger himself. I mean if he could take out a NYPD Capt. and Virgil Sollozzo, he should have just taken out Hyman at that time. Michael already had strong suspicions. If he had done that, then everything else would have gone much differently. Still, hind-sight is 20/20 and all that.
Okay, forgive my ignorance, but is Michael just super "upset" or did Pentangeli have something to do with the attempt on Michael's family. I'm guessing the former, but I don't know.

In that moment Frankie Pentangeli shitted in his pants
Frankie was used. First by Michael then by Roth to make him think Michael wanted him killed.
At least Michael told Frankie that he was being used
When he says "Jesus Christ Michael" at 02:38 it feels so real..
A well deserved Oscar nomination for Michael Gazzo
I thought that was not mobesque as they are Roman Catholic

Al was at his absolute best as Michael. He never did a role like this with this demeanor again. Not even in part 3. To be honest
I miss the absolute control character he played of Michael Corleone.
He lost the character in part 3. He was just playing himself
@@XX-uz2tc Yep, he wasn't even trying. To be fair, considering the mess that the film was I don't blame him.
Although this was his best, he was brilliant in Carlito’s Way
Its a completly different role but I absolutely love him in the irishman it is one of the funniest performances ever.
In part 3 he was acting more like the producer from Once upon a time in hollywood than Michael
The only film in history to win a best picture Oscar for The Godfather and it's sequel The Godfather part 2...part 3 was nominated

Fun Fact: This was supposed to be Clemenza but Richard Castellano wanted creative control over the character so Coppola killed him off.
Huge mistake cuz' Castellano would've very likely gotten the Oscar nod that went to the actor that replaced him.
There are conflicting rumors about that. Castellano had been losing weight at the time and it was rumored that Coppola wanted him to gain his weight back to play the role again. But he refused for health reasons.
GREAT DRAMA NEVER AGES
