The scene with Luca Brasi - one of my favourite😅
The funniest parody is Mad Magazine's The Oddfather.The restaurant scene parody has one of the best puns ever.I once told my mother I thought Danny Thomas would have been good in the title role,she disagreed.She said he was a comedy actor.
Oh, but what a fascinating movie. The scene with the plane landing at LAX with "Manhattan Serenade" playing is just one of the greatest scenes ever, imho-it is so evocative and totally 'romantic'. 26:15
👍 Loving all things Godfather! ☮️
So well done...Thank u
Studio Success In Spite Of Themselves...
Brando, despite his last name, was of mostly Irish heritage. In the same way, Bob De Niro is also 3/4s Irish . . . .
Of course, the Irish are also known for their subversive secret societies, such as the IRA and the Fenian Brotherhood. Both Sicily and Ireland have cultural heritages that are based on (often ruthless and violent) resistance to foreign oupation.
The flag of the Island of Man (which also speaks a Gaelic dialect) and Sicily have similar flags.
Perfect michael 👌 Miller respect
Interesting - nicely done - you could use a little text editing next time.
Anthony Quinn should have played the Godfather. My mother told me years ago, Quinn was an alternate for the part. We both LOVED Brando, and for years I would have been unhappy if he wasn't the Godfather. Now, I think about it, Quinn would have done a much better job. Looked the part, and would have accepted the Oscar without sending a woman, who turned out to be a fake Indigenous American to refuse the award, which recently we discovered was just a stunt to pump up Brando's fame.
I agree that Quinn could be a perfect fit for the role. Quinn later played Gambino family underboss Aniello "Mr. Neil" Dellacroce in 1996 Gotti movie when he was 80 years old and he did a great job. In 1972 he was 57, older than Brando, would need less old age makeup for sure.
@@sherlocksreincarnation Sadly, Quinn was underrated as an actor. Brando was more Hollywood, Quinn was natural, but no less great.
Be careful of unplanned cats . . . .
I remember when this film came out everyone at my workplace talked about it and we all had our favorite scenes and actors ! We we were all shocked but kept talking about it! This was Hollywood at its best! Many conversations about this film ! We working moms threaten to have our kids, whacked ! Lots of fun with this serious threat to our country .
It's nice to hear dear Diane 💯
Lot's of luck ? Was that phrase from the movie, "The Godfather" ?
It sounds like it was "inappropriate" to me...for lack of a better word...
Caan, like Cagney, used a lot from his (somewhat checkered) background in playing wise guys.
Both came from respectable families that lived in rough neighborhoods . . . .
Perfect michael Miller special thanks to all
There's not one fact in here that's already well known to any aficionado of the flim.
It was George Lucas who was then Coppola's partner in Zoetrope, who pleaded to FFC to take the Godfather job coz they were broke.
Great vid!
Actually, the dialogue is in Italian, rather than the Sicilian dialect . . . . It is nice, clear Italian.
America saw The Godfather and was never the same. The good guy (white hat cowboy) as hero flipped in a reversal where now it was the bad guys as anti hero who were to be emulated. In an age where a president and a civil rights superhero were assassinated, an age of Nam and Mai Lai, of CIA importing heroin into America and on and on… the anti hero became the hero. The good guy became a schmuck and basically was seen as a loser. The murders and the 'bad ends' notwithstanding, 'take the Cannoli' won the day. We all saw The Godfather. A true masterpiece of moviemaking but then even real mobsters would end up trying to emulate the fictional world depicted so gloriously on screen. Sonny's murder upset many people it’s violence 'intruded' into the understated but resonant dreamlike atmosphere of the movie. I guess some people always want a happy ending for their onscreen heroes? Badaboom!
Does anyone remember the scene when Luca Brasi dressed up as Santa and gave gifts to Vito's wonderful children?
I can’t see how anyone could read the novel and not find it a masterpiece. The film is fantastic and I can’t see how anyone couldn’t see this
As a fan I hear you. But to be fer , the amount of people that didn't get the book will shock you.
Pacino himself was shocked as he stated in one of the interviews.
That being said one of the critics described Puzo's style of writing as " all over the place "..
There is truth to that. Book has to be read to the end and carefully to be understood as it's written retroactively.
The book is average tbh
@@SpicyTexan64 can you recommend me a better read?
@@dixienormouse1441
Classical literature.
@@SpicyTexan64
No its not if it's understood.
And movie follows book to a letter.
Puzo worked for Martin Goodman (also the Marvel Comics Publisher in the 1960s), who also published a line of "men's sweat" pulps. He had written a well=received novel, The Dark Arena (1955), which made NO money.
Goodfella's is a mafia movie. The Godfather is not. It's a movie about an immigrant family living the America Dream.
They really killed a horse for this movie?
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.”
@@sherlocksreincarnation Damn, that's dedication.
The movies *suck* compared to the book.
Talia shire was James caan's real life sister I believe¬ Coppola's sister?
Please check this out: m.imdb.com/name/nm0001735/
Talia shire is Francis ford Coppola’s sister
The book is pretty much a trash novel. The movie is the best bad book to great movie transformation. And The Colombo family was the Persico family, until Joe Colombo was reported as the boss. Persico was never boss of ‘The Colombos’. The names come from when Joe Valachi testified and the families started to be referred to by their then current bosses names, and have been used since.
Read it
Carmine Persico took over control of the Colombos after Joe Colombo's death. Joe Profaci was the head of the family before Joe Colombo.
I wouldn’t say the book is a “trash novel” but movie is definitely WAY better, especially the second one which almost completely deviates from the novel.
@@kennethpratt5229 I did read it. It was not very good. Mario Puzo even admitted he did not think it was very good as he had written solely to fulfill a contract.
Half agree the parts that the movie is based on but there are parts that drag and some parts that shouldn’t be in this crime drama
Plus all the sex scenes lol are bit too gratuitous
