The Godfather - Deleted Scene - Visit to Genco

- This is a deleted scene from The Godfather sourced from The Godfather Trilogy 1901-1980. This scene takes place after Vito dances with Connie and before Tom lands in California. In this scene, Vito and his sons and godson go to visit Genco in the hospital.
They should have left this scene in. Shows how the Godfather treats those who are loyal to him - stays by their side till the very end.
I totally agree with you
they were friends and did business before he was the Godfather
it was a scene that shouldn't have been filmed ....no way it makes it in the movie ...it slowed it down ....The wedding and then Tom going to Hollywood
It shows Vito's dislike for Michael
risking his life for strangers.
(his medals for bravery). Vito
refers to them as miricales for
strangers.
It would have been a brilliant scene to leave in..it would show the overwhelming loyalty of Vito right before showing his cold blooded side.
This movie is so fucking good that even the deleted scenes are masterpieces lol
Well said, a cut with all the deleted scenes included would be epic.
That's why The Godfather Saga Coppola recut for NBC is so good.
The book is even better than the movie. All the “deleted scenes” are in the book.
@@samanthab1923 includes all deleted scenes ?
reza F Yes. It's 7.5 hours long. I think HBO MAX might have it.
It took me a long time to realize that Vito brought Tom Hagen in off the street because that's what Genco and his dad did for young Vito. One favor begets another, and the cycle continues 👍
Into a life of crime.
@@burntbacon7995 Into the only life he had and knew. It's easy to be judgemental.
Iirc it was Sonny who brought Hagen in, and Vito accepted
You should read the book. It has all these details and a whole lot more. Plotlines entirely left out of the movies and much character development.
Yes the book is an phenomenal read. Puzo was a masterful author.
for those that dont kno Genco was Don vitos consigliere before tom. young genco was in Godfather 2 and him and vito were pretty much brothers ....gencos family were the ones that took vito in when he came to america
It’s a nice scene that actually helps explain why Tom wasnt a good wartime consigliere. He was still new to the role
@@johnepants Yeah , Tom is raised during peace time , a good consigliere to make deals and make sure the other side knows what does it mean "an order he couldn't refuse" but he's not trained for war time where there is time to strike.
And history replayed when Vito took Tom in!
@@hippojuice23 Well noted! Vito changed his name-or allowed the mistaken immigration official-from Andolini to Corleone. He refused to let Tom change his name from Hagen, thinking it disrespectful of his birth parents (however challenged they were).
@@johnepants Tom wasn't a good wartime consigliere because he wasn't a Sicilian. He didn't really understand what it was to be Sicilian.
Awesome scene. "Help me to meet death. If he sees you, he'll be frightened, and leave me in peace." That is an amazing line.
Always brings me to tears when Don Corleone says he has no such power to cure his old friend.
@@wya.manuel429 same here man. My fiancee walks in and has no idea why im tearing.
My favorite scene the loyalty between them is so real that Genco thinks Don vito has some supernatural power is a small element of their friendship he actually believes The Don set up a deal for him a sit down with death
An excellent scene from the book left on the cutting room floor.
You don’t Fuck that Life-That Life Fuck’s you
this was so powerful. He thought the Don had that much power to talk to death about keeping him alive. that really made my heart stop. that kind of influence can never be bought
michael beachum the guy was delirious.
Genco should have gotten hold of Hellboy because he actually said, "Hey you on the other side. You better let her go or you will be sorry".
michael beachum you said a mouth full. My brother. That's power.
actually genco is being funny with the don. it was sarcasm. the don told him later that he will pay a thousand people to pray for him so that he will not go to hell....
-funniest person at parties-
@@alittlesarcasm2812 really?
you could cobble together a movie composed of all the Godfather's deleted scenes... and it would be better than most of the crap Hollywood churns out these days...
Amen to that!!!!!!!!!
Facts!
What? You don't like over the top lens flares? Mary sues? And being hectored on how sexist u are!
Fantastic take. Even more fantastic use of the word cobble.
Word
I brought all my boys. That's a true friend saying goodbye. As Vito sons get older they will later understand his father ways of respect. Actions like this go a long way. A father teaching his children that only time buys true loyalty and respect.
Tom: Am i a joke to you?
@@juanoteo6249 tom is not included because he is considered a consigliere not a son. Tom is taking Genco's place
It’s a shame Michael didn’t learn this lesson.
Hate to break it to ya, most of his sons didn't grow much older
A fact that appeared to be lost on Fredo.
The best part of the scene of obviously Michael walking away from his father. It makes the scene later in the hospital much stronger when Michael tells his dad that he is there. It’s at that moment that Michael will never leave the business or his family behind again, and drives him to be very protective
Which ended up being unfortunate. For both the family and society. It would have been better if Micheal became a lawyer or detective or something and Vito and Sonny died and the family business/empire ended and became a simple and peaceful family with no violence
@@sam.lipchutz That wouldn't have happened. Remember, it's 5 major families. With the death of Vito and Sonny, others would take their place. And unlike Vito, they wouldn't have been against drugs.
@@stansman5461 so once one family goes another takes it’s place? If so, that would be preposterous
And Vito cried when Michael joined the family
@@randellgoering1014 I've often wondered at that scene. Was the Don crying there in the hospital bed, proud of Michael? I can't quite see but it looks like a tear runs down.
Just before this scene the Don tells Tom that he wants to take "all of his sons" to see Genco. He also takes Johnny Fontane. Shows how much being a Godfather means to him.
JOHNNY FONTANE NEVER GETS THAT PICTURE.. IT WILL MAKE HIM A STAR
Or because Johnny owes his career to Genco because he was consigliere when he got the break from the band.
This scene is so powerful in its realism. Nobody wants to die alone. Dying is already scary enough, but passing away, knowing that the end is so near to go through it alone is unbearable. To ask a close friend, a powerful friend like Vito Corleone is almost the equivalent of taking an army with you to face the reaper.
Well said Sir 🫡
❤❤❤
In Scarface suppose Toni would offer a pile of coke ?
Genco wanted him there more than his own family.
Vito: You don't come to me as a son should.
Michael: I am with you now. ( In the hospital scene, when he aborted a second attempt to finally kill Vito. He was there as a son to his father.)
even when genco dying he stills call don corleone godfather.repect ed him till he died.
One of the best scenes they left out.
+nomibe2911 Agreed. This should have been left in.
Yes, it was Very Significant because it demonstrated the extent of his men's confidence in his abilities even to make deals for them even as far as the after-life. True to the Book. :-)
they probably removed it just not to have to many minor characters in beginning. There were already Walz and Bonasera. Luca Brasi. Now Genco.
All this scene implies is that the reverence for the Godfather at times verged on the ridiculous! He had no such power to stave off death, and only a fool would think that he did, much less a true consigliere! This scene Required cutting!
San47di it was a scene that showed how close Genco and Vito were, and how Vito was held in high regard by his old friends.
as Genco plays no further part in the movie it is an odd scene to have
Genco & Vito were just like family, Vito & Genco virtually almost grew up together. Vito & Genco worked together in Genco father's market in Godfather II before Vito was let go all because of the neighborhood bully Don Fanucci.
@@MCee97 Late reply but yeah. Genco took Vito to the theater.
@@phanindravaibhav3319 to the Theatre for what?
@@whodidit99 To watch a play obviously.
He wasn't just a bully; he was the Don.
@@phanindravaibhav3319 lol yea.
Genco's young girlfriend who was an actress at that theater was so hot and beautiful.
Michael killed 16 Czechoslovakian soldiers in the war, he was an interior decorator.
Fucking hilarious. One of my favorite lines from The Sopranos.
His house looked like shit
Leave the remote on the draken station
"Leave the Gun...take the Canolees" .....
While eating all the tic tacs 🤣
2:07 I love the way Johnny appears out of the shadows when he's mentioned and then fades away. Like he's briefly fading in and out of Genco's consciousness. A masterful display of this film's painterly cinematography.
Chiaroscuro, light emerging from darkness. Coppola showed masterful use of mise-en-scene like this, especially in the opening shot of Bonasera.
This scene was what the whole plot was all about. The father wrestling with his son over his son's soul. Michael was a patriotic first generation American and won the Navy Cross fighting in the most horrific battles against the Japanese in the Pacific as a marine in WWII and wanted nothing to do with the Corleone Crime Family ."That's my family ,Kay it's not me " . After the attempted assassination on his father Michael crossed over into the life ."I'm with you now" he tells his father at the hospital as Don Vito sheds a tear
And you know what the irony is? Vito actually planned to get Michael into politics, _not_ the family business. Michael was the only one of his sons with the smarts, the temperament, and the drive to actually do so.
That's why, upon being informed of Michael's murder of Sollozo and McClusky, Vito looks so heartbroken. His favorite son had just blown his chance to become a "legitimate" big-shot, and condemned himself to a life of crime.
@@Thoralmir thanks for the valuable info.
@@Thoralmir please, he knew having his kid in politics would strengthen and benefit his family more than anything
@@keve4253 Perhaps but that's not the point. Micheal wouldn't have to be down in the gutter with the rest of them. He wouldn't have to be a pawn in the games of the criminal underworld. Sure you could make the argument that it would strengthen the Corleone's, but what made Vito different from other mafia bosses is that he never imposed his criminal will on his family. He could've easily used his Godson to further his influence in entertainment but he didn't. Sonny had begun his life of crime independently and in secret and Fredo more or less joined unwittingly of his own accord. He didn't want his son in law Carlo heavily involved in the family business because partly he didn't want Connie mixed up in it. And judging from his character I doubt he would put his youngest son Micheal's theoretical career at risk in order to add to his political power. He already had all the judges and politicians in his pocket anyways. As the previous comment pointed out when he learned that Micheal was the one who killed Sollozzo and "made his bones", he turns away from his other sons in shame and couldn't bear to finish the meeting. He outright tells Micheal that he never wanted any of that for him.
Yeah I think his father and other characters like Sonny put Michael in a really bad situation.
It must be heartbreaking to see time and old age take a dear friend who was almost like your own sibling.
Father time is the enemy none of us can defeat....
You know whats worse?
Dont have friends like this at all.
1:07 The way Michael says "for bravery" is wonderful. He's very proud of his service and takes the uniform seriously. Having to look your disapproving father in the eye and let him know what the uniform means to you is indeed brave.
I don’t think Vito ever disapproved of Michael I don’t think he was super thrilled about Michael enlisting but he was very proud of Michael’s accomplishments… even Clemenza says so…
Mike understands where Vito is coming from though, Vito doesn't want his son to die in a foreign land for some 'strangers' he wants his son back to help the family instead of risking his life for what vito considers ''pointless''
most parents dont want their kids to join the army, especially during an active war, Vito was no different
This is the problem I have with this scene though. "For bravery" is one thing. That medal on his ribbon rack though, that is a Silver Star. In Part 2 this gets amended to the Navy Cross.
Now, these medals... They aren't awarded for "bravery." They are awarded for acts of badassery so intense that it would blow your mind to hear the citation. No way would any parent not know that their kid went and won either of those two medals. They wouldn't be calling them "Christmas ribbons" either.
Quite literally the best medals you can possibly earn from the army.
As I remember the book, he doesn't mention it to Michael directly - an acquaintance shows a news report about Michael to him, because no member of the family would dare, and his only response is 'He performs those miracles for strangers.'
So when Genco died, Tom pretty much filled his position
Tom blew it bad. There is a video where they show how clueless Tom is on the job & it comes though in spades when the Don says "it was Bonzini all along."
Not officially, Tom couldn’t be a real consigliere since he was German-Irish.
In the book when genco dies
Vito tells Tom Hagen "the position is officially his"
@@Easy-Eight tom was a good consigliere during peacetime. He understood the Don's approach and was capable of applying it, such as how he handled Woltz. He was not a wartime consigliere. Rather than advise Sonny on where to hit their enemies to end the conflict sooner, he kept pushing him to make peace when it was impossible to do so.
@@ryanarment5393 Sonny was not the kind of man who would listen to his Consigliere. Tom saw that, so he refrained from being too pushy with his advice.
This scene shouldn't have been deleted. It was heartbreaking to hear Genco asking the Godfather to intercede in his meeting with Death.
I understand why this was deleted but in hindsight it draws a great contrast between Vito and his son. Michael would never under any circumstances have been this loyal to anyone who had ever worked for him - to stand by his side as he crossed over. On the other hand, Vito thought nothing of it. He knew that underlings like Genco expected it of him and he was not about to let them down. Brilliant.
Michael never had a relationship that could rival that of Vito and Genco
Michael is a Marine who won the Navy Cross. Go read what that medal is and what you need to do to get one.
His loyalty to his country and his fellow Marines goes deeper, further and higher than Vito Corleone could ever imagine.
Why did they cut this scene? Holy shit this was a great scene.
@Chandler White Actually it would have been probably less than 3h 20min. Just over 20 min worth of deleted scenes, really.
@Chandler White
I would watch a 5 hour version of The Godfather honestly
Edit: Although the scene which has Michael and Vito planning the death of the other Dons being deleted was a good decision because it would've lessened the impact of the Baptism scene
Because the acting and voice dub for Genco are dog shit and wouldve been a blight on an otherwise perfect film.
ppl dont know how many godlike scenes from the book were left out of the movie. one of the beauty's of this scene in the book is the concept that Genco and the GF have had crazy near-death adventures in the past, but GF always found some way to win and come out on top. And so, Genco trusts the GF to cheat death once again
What were some of the scenarios and against who?
@@justme-kr7lx you can selectively read johnny fontane's story for a good one
“What are your plans?”
“Finish school.”
“I approve of that.”
“…cool I was going to do that regardless but thanks.”
There's something so touching about Vito telling his friend not to fear Death. This was an amazing scene.
I read this part in the book, and having watched the second movie, I knew about the background of what this scene actually meant, of how important and close Genco was to Vito. I could empathise, I knew what it must've felt like to Vito on losing one of his closest friends, someone close to him like a brother. I have nothing but respect for Mario Puzo for writing this masterpiece, and for the whole crew to bringing it to life so perfectly.
Jesus Is every other scene deleted? I'm so glad these scenes were in the Epic on HBO
FunnyVideoMaker77 me too! Thank God for HBO!
The man on the death bed deserved an oscar..why did they delete this???
I love Vito and Michael’s relationship. Michael is so defiant of his father and family’s business. Vito took care of his family and children so well that they become little princelings who have their own ideas. Michael rebels so hard as he is growing up, and when his father comes to harm, he does not hesitate to jettison his own wishes and comes back to his father’s side, "I’m with you now"
You know the cover of the book?The drawing of a hand holding puppet strings. That's why that scene shouldn't have been deleted .Also ,in my opinion,there should've the scene when Paulie and others beat up the undertakers daughter 's attackers.This to show that yes the Mafia were brutally vicious!
Wow, the devotion and mythical-like belief in Vito was so strong that he thought he could cure his sickness.
Some people in your life can make you believe that they can scare the Devil into running from them. Those are the ones that you ask for on your deathbed to get a few extra seconds of Life
2:06
I brought all my boys to pay their respects, even Frank Sinata... I mean eh, Johnny....
😂😂😂
Genco is the old friend of vito. He is the guy that had the crush on the opera actress and vito encouraged him to go talked to her.
I always thought that was Tessio with his heavy eyelids and such, but I think you're right.
No, the guy who had the crush on the singer was Tessio. Genco was the man who owned the grocery store Vito used to work at until Fanucci brought his nephew.
@@punkrockeris666 lol dude no.. you need to watch it again
@@hazelnut3889 I will and I will check. I am almost sure about what I said but I could be wrong. In any case, it's a good excuse (if any is needed) to watch the movie again.
@@punkrockeris666 well the movie is 3 hours long😂 cut scene for you ua-cam.com/video/5r-5HF_R8C4/v-deo.html
Vito in every interaction with Michael is expecting Michael to ‘come to him like a son should’
It’s cool how there was tension between them
That man just described the Godfather. He was a loving man, but one to be feared. Genco even thought that The Godfather would scare death away..
This is how true friendship and brotherhood should always be.
Accept for the part of the friendship where you both have murderous blood on your hands.
Genco, he was the guy he worked with in the grocery store?
vic vega yes thats him. loyal till the end. Nothing but respect for that.
if anyone was wondering what real power and influence is, look no further.
I would've at the very least had Vito and Genco be speaking in Italian -- it's meant to be their native tongue, is it not?
The way Michael's hand comes up when the Don calls him back in the hallway, as if in self-defense; I wonder what that was supposed to depict? Was Michael nervous about being in the midst of a mob-related setting? Was he frightened of his father? Was he just high-strung after the war?
I think Michael was raising a cup of water to his mouth, from the water cooler.
Well Michael is described as a son who if you reprimanded him he wouldn't be seen for weeks. I think this shows that he was a lot more independent and rebellious than his brothers and you could also say that because of these traits he removed himself from the family by joining the army. This is also shown when he says his plans are to go back to school after and that "we'll see" if he follows the path his father wants/plans for him. Even though his father is the Don, Michael is still his own man and will do what's right for him, regardless of the family business. So after Vito criticizes Michael's war medals as "miracles done for strangers", as in he isn't helping the family like he does for strangers, Michael walks away because he joined the army to get away from his family in the first place. Him walking away in that scene is pretty symbolic actually.. And I'd say he raises his hand when Vito calls him back because, although he isn't interested in playing the obedient son, he is trying to show patience and be respectful and not argue. Michael doesn't care about the mafia and doesn't see himself as being subject to either his father or the Don. He is grown up, independent from all of it and just not interested... yet!
why do they leave out these amazing scenes. I know they may be hard to merge with the rest of the film. but these scene is awesome.
we see Vito's other side
If they kept every scene in, the movie would've been 4 hrs. long. They have to make cuts somewhere.
@@eightinches6094 Actually... they don't HAVE to make cuts ... people could just sit through a longer movie ... I've never minded 3 or 4 hours of a good story
@@williampawson5476 .....every movie ever made has deleted scenes, they can't possibly include every scene that is shot into a movie.
@@williampawson5476 Yes they do have to make cuts
why they left this out.the godfather loyal to genco amd vica versa.
Roylen Wright Paramount Studios gave Francis Ford Coppla hell during the making of The Godfather. I think he was force to cut this scene.
I can see why this scene was deleted from Godfather I. You would have had to have read the book to know how much Vito cared for Genco. Leaving that scene in would have only confused most of the movie audience, and upset the flow of the storyline.
Marines never wear their cover inside unless under arms.....and he had it cocked back....
two big No...No's 🙈
Not much of a Marine Corps haircut either.
2:35 it breaks my heart the way he says "Genco I have no such power"😢
Vito referred to Michael's medals as "Christmas ribbons", Lol.
😄Epic
"What miracles you do for strangers?"
Michael was being pulled by the strings, everything Don Vito fought against during all his life.
Well the fact is they are from the start.
I'd have definitely cut the Michael part... we find out what The Don wanted for him anyway. But Genco's part is powerful... we finally meet the great Consiglieri only to see him reduced to pleading for his life. And we see how much he worshipped Don Corleone and the loyalty and respect The Don showed him in return. Brilliant.
This scene is pretty exactly like in the novel by Mario Puzzo……
Not the dialogue. The line "What miracles you do for strangers" was as actually "He performs those miracles for strangers" and was spoken before Michael even came home. In the book, Michael's picture was in "Life" magazine with a story of his heroics, and when a friend of the family showed the Don the magazine ("His family did not dare."), the Don said "He performs those miracles, etc."
I'd pay to see this if they compile all the deleted scenes and then release it to the big screen. Can't imagine the dilemma of Francis and his editors while deciding which one should they cut for the final release! Such a masterpiece!
Add all deleted scenes, combine 1&2, and add in how they took over marrazno gang , it would be a masterpiece but a 7 hour movie
I’ll watch at home
That's a man terrified of going to his judgment. Shows Vito's perversion of friendship and the futility of his power. He helped damn Genco's soul and there's nothing he can do to save him.
interesting take
@@billhaywood3503 I agree and you said it before I could. Yes, very insightful take on tis scene here. It had not occurred to me.
That's the best take on this scene I've ever seen.
Just when I thought I’ve seen all the deleted scenes, they pull me back in.
I hear what you say in Steve van Zandt's voice.
Vito loved Genco like a brudda in law.
You can download what is called the epic version of the godfather that tells both 1 & 2 in chronological order. It’s a seven hour film and it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend you watch it if you’re a true die hard fan
I don't feel this should have been in the film. Compared to The Don's unwavering love and positive feelings for Michael, this scene has him chiding his son. To me, it just doesn't fit with the tone of the two of them shown through the rest of the movie.
bt10ant Micheal wasn't that close with his father in the beginning. It was not until his father got shot that Micheal became close to him!
that's not true. Michael was very close to his father. In fact, Michael was his father's favorite. Michael just did not associate himself with the family business. That doesn't mean they weren't close.
This scene is great and explains a lot. Don says he has plans for Michael that he will like. Later in the movie Vito says he never wanted Michael to join mafia (search "godfather best scene"). He was also destroyed when he heard about Michael fleeing to Sicily.
natedoggg2002 Mike alienated his entire family (apart from Fredo) by enlisting in the Marines and dropping out of college. Even attending the wedding in Marine uniform annoyed his family. However, the Don had high hopes for Mike; college boy, clean hands, thoughtful and sharp. Mike himself says his Pop took everything personally even when he didn't need to, and he understands.
Vito tells Mike later he was hoping for a Senator Michael Corleone, or even President Michael Corleone. Those were his plans; to close up shop in New York and move to Nevada and out of the cutthroat business, with Mike in charge. Sonny, Clemenza and Tessio would get their own Families but really that was it
At this point in time Michael didn't want anything to do with mafia, he fought in WW2 for USA, had American girlfriend, was a decorated war hero. It was different than typical more xenophobic approach of conservative Sicilians. Vito didn't mind it, because it could be put to good use and have Michael become a senator or president. He was obviously worried as a father - Michael could get himself killed, actually he returned earlier from the army because Vito bribed the doctor to proclaim Michael more injured than he really was and get him a leave. Sonny would be next Don and Fredo would be Fredo.
" if he sees you. He'll be frightened " this type of influence/respect can never be bought.
If only Fanucci would have left Vito's job alone. Don Cicci would have thanked him for it.
Truth is they should have kept everything in. Who cares if it was long, I love this film
when Don Vito died ( in the book)...he was not afraid...his last words were..." life is beautiful "
That’s a position we’re all going to face soon enough.
Vito and Michael having that converastion in a hospital hallway is kinda weird. You'd think they'd talk about that in a more personal place, like at home or at Connie's wedding.
As a military officer, Michael would not have had his hat on inside that or any other building.
They should have kept this scene to. SOmebody should do a prequal during sonny teen years, mike in war etc
Family corelone Ed falco is the book
I guess they left it out because it was a bit out of context (also Genco's actor was pretty bad)
The actor is cringeworthy bad.
@@bredenis5 The lines are bad
When i read the Book, I feel so sad 😭
So Did I🤧🤧💔
Me too. 😢😢😢
Eghar, I was in Vietnam as a combat Marine when I read an excerpt of the book in a magazine, think it was Saga or something like that (weekend R&R in the non-com club library) and wrote my family to please send me the book. I received it, read it and shared it with my platoon. I donated it to the small library. Much later when I went back to the rear to process out before returning home I was told that book was near worn out and the waiting list was many sheets long on a clipboard. As great as the movie was, we Marines really liked the book.
@@LesterMoore this is interesting just how much a little act can have an effect on so many others, you seeing a little excerpt in a magazine lead to probably dozens and dozens of men reading the book that’s very interesting
Fuck, this is an important scene. C'mon Francis, give us an extended version!!
Always a masterpiece...every time i watched clips from the Godfather, i always found new emotions emanated from the script, the tone, the looks, the surroundings,....heyy i can even smell the air...
in the book, Genco had a moment of hysteria on his deathbed and used all his strength in his delirium to tell GF that his flesh was melting off his bone and the reaper was coming. then, the rest of the scene was all sarcasm and what Genco said in this video was of a satirical tone. then, Vito ended with a little jab saying "resign yourself, blaspheme.'' this whole scene in the book kinda portrayed like they both knew they were damned and are just waiting to rejoin each other in hell. pure poetry.
Bro what I just read the book and where does Genco say his flesh was melting off from his bone. Genuinely not calling you a liar I just cannot remember that
@@adamkhan1480I've already read that
Trilogy my ass, the 3rd one doesn't count..
One and two are a trilogy. the third was totally un-needed.
crappy scene,glad it was removed.....
Out of all deleted scenes, this is the one they should have left in
Although this scene may have been appropriate for the saga film, it wasn't for the original movie. In the saga Genco was a significant character, particularly during the period when Vito was a young man.But the character had no significance at all in the story line of the original movie.
Waw. Yet more deleted scenes I've seen so many times over the last 40 odd years. Is there a movie left without all these deleted scenes? Can't be.
Interesting scenes but you can certainly see why they were deleted.
This scene should’ve never been deleted. It shows how Michael thought before he switched
most of these scenes are in the the godfather epic.... laid out great!
Seeing young Genco in the second movie and then this scene is very sad
The attitude of Don Vito towards Michael doesn't make any sense here. Later, when he is told that it was Michael who shot Sollozzo and the police chief, he is devastated, as if this had destroyed all his hopes for him.
rabele123 vito never liked the idea of Michael going to war for the government so he was heartbroken when he went to war for the family. When vito said I have plans for you he meant as heagan to become a lawyer or something not a murder
faxxx thats why they cut it. What they should've did was cut the michael and vito part out and added the second half of this scene with Genco.
@@yovanikcalderon7622 No, Vito didn't want him fighting for what he called "strangers." Sonny said the same thing when Michael told the family he had enlisted. That was a whole separate issue from Vitos hopes that Michael would eventually become a Senator or Governor, and killing those 2 men DID destroy Vitos hopes for Michael's future.
Can they release the 50th Anniversary with all the deleted scenes?
So according to his uniform, Michael has earned the Silver Star. According to testimony in Part II, he has earned the Navy Cross.
How in the unholy high hell does Vito not know that his kid won either of the two and what they were for??
I'm not kidding; go read some Navy Cross citations. In order to get one, you basically have to be wielding an M-60 in one hand and a bazooka in the other while saving a bus full of school kids from a T-Rex. The level of badassery you need in order to even be eligible for either the NC or the SS is absolutely off the chain. It gets published in newspapers, especially local ones.
There is no way on God's green earth that a parent would not know that their kid earned one of those medals and what the medal was awarded for.
I love this movie (Part II even more!) but with regards to Michael's military history, the film is a bit wonky
What kind of a hospital was that? The smallest and darkest I've ever seen. Wouldn't want to die in a place like that. Some kind of a hell.
Good question, I was wondering that too in the back of my mind.
Well it is a hospital in the 1940’s after all
@@vido4x4 True
Before hospitals became massive ...
Son, people have died in way worse places i.e: war & prison
And I cried 😭. Genco was a really good guy and loyal to Vito.
He needs a priest, not the godfather. He needs a chance to renounce Santan thru the sacrament of extreme unction so he gets the opportunity to make reparations for his sins in purgatory. The godfather should of invited a priest
He doesn’t need a priest or a pope or anyone to renounce Satan and be forgiven. The curtain in the temple was torn and Jesus Christ is now our mediator between the Father and mankind. (1 Timothy 2:5)
Jesus is the only mediator to God the father, but we are all mediators to Jesus.
Otherwise what's the point of praying for one another.
@@IvanLendl87 Is that from the false Bible AKA the KJV?
@@IvanLendl87 Exactly. No priest needed. He could go directly yo God, through Jesus before the end came. Jesus' work on the Cross gave us direct access. The veil over the Holy of Holies was rent in half for our salvation. We only need accept it.
@@michigandermichiganian8173 It is from the Scriptures in the original Greek and Aramaic, written by the Apostles.
I remember seeing this in the Godfather Epic and wondering WTF Genco was. This scene made no sense. Why introduce a character just to watch him die? It had already been established that Tom was the consigliere of the family.
It matters. Genco was a Sicilian and war time consigliere. That could've helped in figuring out what Barzini was up to for example. Sonny even makes a point of it after Vito is out of action, and he is stand in Don about what chance he had compared to pop having Genco as his consigliere, a Sicilian war time consigliere . Tom was a terrible consigliere more than Sonny was a terrible Don. Tom had loyalty true, but he didn't have as much intimate Sicilian knowledge that was required. Great criminal lawyer Tom was, and that was what both Vito and Michael saw Tom was, hence why they made a point in separating what war time consigliere is compared to basically a lawyer.
Simply put, Tom Hagen wasn't a fighting type, but was good at law and economy. Tom was 100% trustworthy, but didn't have the necessary knowledge and experience about Sicilian stuff, espionage and counter-espionage. However they didn't have anybody else. Sonny was acting Don and was hot-blooded maniac who started a disastrous war and got himself killed in a stupid way. Michael was out hiding. Fredo was Fredo. Hagen was only one left with cool head so if at least Sonny listened to him, he could survive.
I agree with you: it's Genco's first and only appearance in Godfather I (if I remember well). We learn on him in Godfather II, but Genco had no significance at all in the story line of 1.
That scene was deservedly cut. A consigliere who is delusional enough beleiving that the Don had such power would be a right idiot. I can see why the scene was shot in the first place to establsih Don Corleone's as an mysteriously powerful man, but this is very blunt und quite silly.
I named my olive oil company next to him.
One thing I don't like about Vito and his whole operation. He has open contempt and mocks the nation that took him in and allowed him to become a billionaire through being a criminal.
It's the peak of ungrateful arrogance.
The TV cut of the movie had this scene and others included, strangely enough. Before DVD was invented, that must've been quite a treat.
The scene was definitely sobering. Don vito has all power in the word which he always used to help his community but the one favor he couldn’t grant was the one that stuck with him.
So Genco oil company was named after him?
Genco ran the business
Don't be afraid of death.. says the guy who tried running from death🤔
I think they took it out because it’s blasphemic
family over country
Michael really was Vito's blue eyed boy, his golden boy ❤ I've got plans for you I just know meant he wanted him to be his heir after he stepped down as Don or at least a high position in the family.
Zakaj, tega, ni, v filmu ? IZBRISANE SCENE. POMEMBNE SO !
Genco, je odpustil Vita, iz restavracije, ker je prišel tja Fanuccijev nečak. Nato, pa, je, ob odhodu, prišel, za Vitom in mu ponudil škatlo živil. Vito, pa mu je odvrnil: "Hvala. A, tega, ne morem vzeti."
Genco Olive Oil Company. Now I know how Vito got the name for his olive oil company.
The more I see of these deleted scenes...
...the more I want to see a "Heaven's Gate" level director's cut of The Godfather™
This scene would never have worked in the movie. For one, this Genco fellow sees Vito as being more powerful than death. That's weird. And lastly, and confusingly, Genco is supposed to be Vito's olive oil company. This could never have worked.
Brian L. Carter He was delirious and confused I'm sure...and morphine out of his mind...Sicilians are very superstitious
I guessed you never had real loyalty friends. I've had friends that treat me like the godfather and I myself would be confused as vito was but we both understood it was loyalty but as he said he was delirious by all the morphine
Vito new Michael was the one to take over the business because he could tell Michael was dependent on nobody on himself.
To Vito Corleone, the thing of greatest value was LOYALTY. All else was secondary to LOYALTY. He was loyal to Genco and Genco was loyal to him their entire lives together.
The thing of greatest value was *friendship.* That's what the Don tells Johnny Fontane, in the book. He tells Johnny that if he, Johnny, had made more friends in the entertainment world, instead of making powerful enemies like Jack Woltz, then he wouldn't need the Godfather's help.
Stay w me so when Angel of Death sees you he will fear me.... ! Powerful
