Incredible 💯 Lessons from Vito or even some of their enemies would be great.

[@warlordofbritannia]

For years, I’ve found common sense help through the sayings of long-dead military leaders. The video here is uncannily similar to some of the ideas I’ve found…most particularly: -Control what you can control, because that’s the only thing truly worth worrying about it -“He who defends everything, defends nothing,” which is to say you can’t do everything and you shouldn’t try to -There’s an anecdote from Ulysses S Grant’s memoirs of his first time leading troops into potential combat. As they neared the enemy camp, he became more and more worrisome until he lacked the moral courage to even order a halt and think things over. And so by the time they reached the battlesite…the enemy had already hastily retreated. To quote Grant directly: “It occurred to me at once that Harris [the rebel leader] had been as much afraid of me as I had been of him. This was a view of the question I had never taken before; but it was one I never forgot afterwards.” If you’re ever having to face direct competition, whether it be for a job or a game, this works fantastically. -“Never interrupt your enemy while he’s making a mistake,” especially that douche coworker -“Every man must get to Heaven in his own way,” which can be extended to a general view of live and let live

What do you think it means? It looks like the emptiest and most childish of boasts to me. What would be a definition of "careless" which found errors to be other than randomly distributed by sex? Hell, wouldn't you even think that blame-casting is distributed randomly by sex and even by occasion?

[@riojones9637]

As a woman I appreciate the statement and take it heart. I believe only children can afford to be careless and carefree

[@pedrorojas0116]

​@TheDavidlloydjones wow that quote really went over that hollow head of yours lmao, Vito meant that from a protector's point of view, a father's pov would be a better example actually since it's the father's/mans role to protect and provide, to carry on all the burdens and responsibilities and challenges. That itself is the role of the man and the father from vitos pov. He takes care of everything so his family and children don't have to, yk do the dirty work so their hands stay clean. It's not really rocket science as to what point he was trying to get across to michael. And in life he is pretty much right at least to extent, others aren't so fortunate bc it's life but he brings some truth to his statement

Michael was super cunning. Calling in Pantangeli’s brother from Sicily at the last moment to enforce the concept of omertà was brilliant.

[@CHANNELAPOLLO]

Michael spoke a thousand words by doing that. One of my favorite scenes in cinema. It taught me a lot at a young age.

[@nihilisticbarbie]

i thought it was always funny how he told Kay ‘I had nothing to do with it’ when he had *everything* to do with it. that’s a man that doesn’t like to lose and will cover all his bases.

[@Outlier999]

Michael should have listened to Frankie Five Angels: “Your father worked with Hyman Roth. Your father respected Hyman Roth. But your father never trusted Hyman Roth!” His military service probably taught Michael that nothing ever goes exactly according to plan. No plan survives contact with the enemy.

[@marinz4life]

He did! Michael admired Roth but he never exposed himself to a double-cross by Roth. You may recall Fredo confessing that Johnny Ola sought him out because “Michael was being tough on the negotiations.”

One thing I noticed in the films I and II, is, Freddie and Mama Corleone never directly spoke to each other. In II, Tom sits next to Mama during Anthony's confirmation party.Tom speaks to Mama in Sicilian when they gossip about Freddie's wife. At Mama's funeral Freddie does cry when he sees Mama in her coffin.Even Connie had a direct conversation with Mama in II when she shows up late to Anthony's party. Also, Freddie never had a full conversation with Don Vito either.

[@evilwillhunting]

Superlative analysis. Love it. A few things I was musing in relation to these messages -- One of my favorite scenes in The Godfather is when Sonny butts in and asks Solozzo to verify that the Barzinis will match investment. Not only that he butts in, but he says it in a tone that implies Vito would be a fool to pass it up. What I love about that scene is the immediate reaction shots: Tom looks at Peter, Peter looks back at Tom. They are both silently acknowledging this was a BIG fumble that's going to cost them later. And they were right. If not for that one slip up, Solozzo may have well tried Jersey or possibly Chicago to set up, and saved all the families a LOT of trouble. And about the stoicism.... I think of the scene in Vegas, when Mike is trying to buy out Moe. Moe immediately gets inflamed and starts running his mouth (as Michael surely knew was in store) and Michael raises his voice in response -- something Vito would NEVER do, no matter how bad someone provoked him -- but becomes taciturn and curt thereafter. It shows that while Michael is learning, he isn't quite there just yet. And in Part II, by the time Michael gets to Havana, he feels he's solved the mystery... mostly. While he's fairly certain Hyman is behind the hit, he doesn't understand why. That why is huge -- because that why will determine if they can somehow work past this. So Michael stonewalls him about the investment... drawing things out, making Hyman more and more annoyed. Finally, when he (of all things) is in a sour mood because of his medical problem of painful urination, he finally spills the beans. He loses his composure (though not as bad as Moe) and reveals what the motive was: revenge. He knew Michael killed his protege, whom he loved. It was at that point Michael knew there was only one way: he or Roth had to die, there was no "fixing" this otherwise. And Roth may have lived longer if he didn't reveal this crucial secret in a moment of weakness.

[@justforrow]

Micheal made a mistake but luckily it wasn't fatal. He could move on and ultimately defeated his enemy anyways.

[@JarritoFresa]

All of these are great and work well if you're running a criminal empire and leading thorough fear. But if you're not a psychopath, there's one more lesson you need to add to the list - cultivate a team of good and smart people, build up their strengths and empower them to activate your vision. It sounds trite, but teamwork does make the dream work. If Michael hadn't been dismissive of Frank's concerns or kept Tom at arm's length, Roth wouldn't have been able to get his hooks in Frank or manipulate Fredo.

[@kingmakandal]

I cannot find the words to tell you how much I like this video, the montage, the script (and research behind it). Great job, I encourage you to continue.

Furthermore, as a huge fan of the Godfather movies and Michael Corleone's character, I just love your channel and the subjects that can be studied around the movies. Great job guys !!!

Yeah and real good I can agree too and also can make you question your own life and who you're dealing with since people nowadays with the bad news lately can put themselves into even worse trouble considering they're always looking for that instant gratification and wanting that miracle that will solve all their problems which life isn't like that also another video channel to look up Betterment Boss and it's topics on money really may want to listen there and current events that cam be a blunder well there are many such as that Burning Man getting flooded really not go there now since that part is in trouble and places not to go now is Los Angeles and San Francisco since news now is that they're disaster zones filled with crime and homelessness which you can also Google and KZbin all about that as well.

[@hornet718]

I love this video and it has many lessons for me to unpack and digest. I did find something interesting with an in video about mistakes. We all said, anyone/everyone makes mistakes. Which is true but in actuality, we all make errors. What does that mean? When we plan any event, we take all that we know and apply so we can go about our business. But what happens when an element of that plan fails? Did we miss something? Did we act on old information? We made an error. Now, let's say we do the exact same thing on a different day and the error arises. This time we didn't make an error, we made a mistake. A quote from another fictional tactician, Grand Admiral Thrawn of Star Wars, says this: Anyone can make an error, it when we refuse to correct the error that it becomes a mistake. When I heard this, it put more focus in my life. How many times we did not correct an error made only for us to say, it was a mistake. If we corrected the error in its beginnings, our plans/goals would be more achievable and we would have less stress of dealing with mistakes rather than errors. Errors are not costly, they are a part of life. Mistakes are costly and the price can be your life (or livelihood). Just thought I would share. Again, thanks for this fine video.

[@crystalaustin2845]

Thanks for another wonderful video. For lesson #8, I had to learn that the hard way. To make a very long and detailed story short, at my first full-time job, I dealt with a boss who was an insecure narcissist who didn't like the fact that I was smarter than he was and my people skills were better than his. I wasn't surprised by the amount of failures he had once I quit working for him.

[@TheCultureMafia]

Thank you for sharing that, Hope this video was beneficial 💯

[@kellychuang8373]

Also good on you can make you question life and choices which most people these days aren't always looking into I can say and also another thing that can make you think about since there are many dangerous people out there and in the news you can only wonder what people now either went to Las Vegas or that flooded out Burning Man festival to have a good time you can really get the risk of being robbed, having money lost or really drowned and sick. Along with 2 other places not to go and can get robbed and have a bottom life Los Angeles and San Francisco really has a lot of crime and homelessness in the news lately and is really a disaster zone along with a lot of profanities and cussing to describe it anyway may want to Google and KZbin that as well.

I just started watching this video and I wanted to say that I’m liking how you are branching out to use scenes from non-mafia films like The Dark Knight. Thanks for keeping things fresh! Now, some comments: 7:24 - If Michael “never saw himself as the victim,” what are we to make of his comment in Part III “Every time I think I’m out, they pull me back in?” Is this when Michael is really starting to lose his grip on things? 11:58 - Michael was great at anticipating, EXCEPT when it came to Fredo, who was obviously a screw-up at least from the time he went out to Nevada. Why did Michael allow himself to be blindsided by his own brother? 27:50 - When Michael took Fredo into his confidence about Roth, was that planned or a blunder? 30:30 - Does being formless contradict having principles? Is that what happened to Michael in Parts 1 and 2? 31:53 - I always liked that Tom was the only one not laughing at Michael when he volunteered to kill Solozzo and McClusky. He questioned the wisdom of Michael’s plan, but he took it seriously from the beginning.

Plans will go wrong. I am a general contractor, and as any GC know in the construction business, anything can go wrong at any time. My backup plans have back up plans. I have almost 2 of every major tool so that when one breaks down I dont have to stop the task. One of my clients once asked me why I dont smile as much, I simply told them "I am anticipating something going wrong". I never let my clients and inspectors and workers know what I am thinking, especially when I dont like them.

@@robelady7712 There is tons of stuff in the book that is not in the movie. Which I think is for the better. All the nonsense about the chick that gets surgery to tighten up her vagina is weird and has no baring on the over all story and seems completely pointless in regard to the rest of the story. Also not in the film is the part about luca brasi killing a baby. If it’s a perfectly executed description of what’s on screen why is that not in there? The impression they give of Vito Corleone in the movie is a powerful but very honest, decent and honourable man. The movie Vito doesn’t seem the type to deal with someone that had a new born baby thrown in a furnace. The book in my personal opinion is far from a “perfectly executed description on screen”. The movie is far superior than the book and that’s the only book adapted for on screen that I’ve ever read that isn’t better than the on screen version.

[@jakejoseph5534]

Great content. What separates Vito from Michael? How was Vito able to balance being a power broker and securely grow his family, while maintaining his legacy as a good don? Vito began his life under the threat of death, losing his entire family in Italy, due to a vendetta out of his control, so he inherently followed the rules of power out of self protection from an early age. This innate sense of protection carried over to his wife and children in a way that maintained everyone’s safety until they had families of their own. Michael had a similar beginning before his transition into being the boss. The main difference being was an adult who lost his “future” as a result of a vendetta he participated in, before coming back to America and taking over the family. Michael didn’t understand the family trust element of being in power, he failed to apply the laws of power with Kay. She asked questions, he revealed the truth to her in a way Vito would’ve never involved his own wife. Vito and mama Corleone had unspoken boundaries neither would cross. They trusted each other, and that’s where Michael failed in his ascent to power. He turned against everyone, family included, and that’s what made him more like Barzini than Vito.

[@robertbusek30]

You make some great points here! Do you think Michael would have done better with Apollonia, a traditional Sicilian woman, by his side?

[@brendarayford6304]

Michael was brilliant as the Don. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Michael crushed everyone and barely spoke because he was always thinking. Baby boy was the badass.

Was Vito that great of a family man? His son was killed because of his business, his other son had to go into hiding because of his business, and his daughter was getting abused by a wannabe mobster. Too much backlash to ever be a “good” Don.

[@foodievillage2852]

Regarding the last name of the Mafia family in the film The Godfather - well it might as well been Coppola instead of Corleone. What I am referring to and with all due respect, what most people miss is the creation of this masterpiece from the point of taking it as an idea, the written word to celluloid, is who the artist was that accomplished that... Francis Ford Coppola was that person. All of these lessons that are written into and part of this film were created by him and Mario Puzo. The ideologies, some of which are depicted in this video, were not accidental. When creating this story, this film was not just for entertainment it was to be a storyteller and to have the audience walk away from this movie to maybe learn lessons and even possibly have a different way of thinking. Everything just had to be right, had to be done Mario's way for it to work. My hat's off with great respect and love for Francis Ford Coppola and all that he has given to us. He has delivered much more than just a film with the making of the Godfather trilogies. He has given us a way of life when you read between the lines and see all that he personally has accomplished after the Godfather was produced and completed.

Bad idea to tangle with sociopaths.

[@DD2Tacc]

@@cheapcraftygirlsweepstakes2338Spotting them is different, you need to be a different type of individual to spot Narcissists people and sociopaths and people who have ego problems & people who are very ENVIOUS AND HAVE TOO MUCH GREED‼️ Spotting those men/women are very difficult…

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

I know that I am in the latter for two reasons: 1. I still reflect on certain lines in all of the movies. 2. I apply the lessons learned from the mistakes that some of the characters made. For example, everyone knows how Sonny got taken out and the actual cause: It wasn't Carlo. It was Sonny's temper and failing to think before acting. This made me work on myself. Consequently, I am better and have handled some of the most difficult and challenging situations better and have come out victorious.

This is great, thank you so much for making this video.

i both watched the movie & read the book. I love Corleone Familia, if only I could choose a boss, I'll put my whole loyalty to them. Hagen definitely inspired me despite of not being wanted to a certain group, he stood still for his beloved Don. I really learned so many lessons & practical advice to them. I think Robert Green Books definitely perfect reference too after watching this movie

Kisses of death. "You broke my heart." The maggots in the minds of the universe are real. Also are the flowers of positive purpose. Trust everyone distrust the devil in them.

Would Michael have been a different man had Apolonia not died? What were his real reasons for reconnecting with Kay after being back home for eighteen months? Also in III, somehow Kay knew about Apollonia. Did Michael talk in his sleep?

[@cheapcraftygirlsweepstakes2338]

I think he wanted a family and didn’t want to go through the bother of finding and courting someone. Kay was easy and it didn’t take any effort on his part.

[@robertbusek30]

I think Michael was honest with Kay about Apollonia. I also think that as a traditional Sicilian woman, Apollonia would have been better for Michael. The abortion really damaged Michael…

[@smartncrafty5598]

Read the Book Michael came home after Apollonia death he didn’t contact Kay Kay chased after Michael

I fall into the first category and am ok with that, but I have you to point out these valuable lessons to me. This aids me in my dealings with “well intended” humanitarians.

Been a minute! Happy to catch another iconic video!

[@maxlewis2011]

Don Vito is the greatest mafia character. This Video is just boosting Michael....but Don Vito was the one who should be more focused. The Right wife who wouldn't betrayed you...your entire children loves and idolize you...your inner circle would die for you. Michael had too many betrayal individuals...including his own wife and his own children rebellious. His own family tried to kill him....nope...Don Vito is the true mafia Character

[@knownuser]

Didn’t know the slasher from Scream gave such good advice 💯💯💯👌🏾👌🏾

[@TheMedicineMan_29]

Always drive my wife crazy when we rewatch these movies bc I’m always talking and mentioning these points and others. Can’t help it, it’s what my dad and I always did when we would watch these movies which was always several times a year.

[@desmondslater]

My dad used to do that with my sister. He would pause and ask what she thought something meant. Kinda wish he did that with me too

[@alanwakeish]

Another superb video.

[@Outlier999]

Never complained? “Just when I thought I was out, they dragged me back in.”

[@oliviaguyong1875]

🥴

[@timkramar9729]

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me right back in.

[@frankib8620]

Develope finger tip feeling by dancing as you are the leader and you always have to think ahead or box. even do a cold approach

[@ItsMefromSnuffys]

Michael was highly intelligent, once he turned, he would dominate

[@jonahfernandez6901]

These videos are beautifully done.

[@DavidJFoote]

Another great lesson. Thank you!

[@Anthony11qq]

When Franky's brother the Don from the old country rolled through and looked at him Franky knew he couldn't snitch. That shit was gangsta!!!!!!!!

[@squestel8404]

I love Godfather 1 and 2, not 3. Still watch them every now and then.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

Vito was power till the end Michael when he got older lost that edge he was very loose and thats why he fell apart but Vito was a serious Don even into his older years

[@jdawgxpxduh8763]

This was excellent

[@megabolt5898]

Okay be honest: Who else thought of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood as soon as they heard the name "Borgia"?
