17:19, Enzo is the young Italian baker that Don Corleone helped remain in America so he could get married. In this moment, Enzo is showing some real Old World honor and courage. He isn't a gangster he is just a baker. But in this moment of crisis, Enzo stood tall shoulder to shoulder with Michael. The Corleone's will never forget what he did for them. In Part 3 of this saga, Enzo is still baking cakes for Michael's family decades later.

10:32 This is when everything goes downhill. Solazzo noticed how interested Sonny was which lead him to make the moves he did. The whole war was started because Sonny couldn't keep his mouth shut and talked out of turn

[@danielceo4694]

Loved this reaction! You absolutely have to watch part 2 now! Interesting side note: Francis Ford Coppola said in a commentary that he likes to try to put a family recipe into every movie he makes, hence the quick scene where Clemenza is trying to show Michael how to make spaghetti.

The thing about the horse was not so much that they wanted to do something bad to it, but it’s that they can get to you whenever they want. They’re saying, “We got inside *your bedroom* without you knowing it. We coulda put your lights out, but instead left you a little present.”

[@davidyoungsr753]

That's his sister's husband, not boyfriend. Hence the big wedding in the beginning.

[@technofilejr3401]

6:24, Sonny is creating more than just memories right here. This scene is key to the overall plot of the saga.

[@mrtim5363]

Wonderful reaction & a good morning to you… This is an unbelievably true blending of Hollywood filmmaking & reality. NY city was controlled by 5 families. Little-Italy was controlled by Godfather. Don Joe Columbo, who wouldn’t let them film there without script approval (*He wanted the word “Mafia” removed) Joe Columbo was famous for Italian-American Civil Rights League. & Filled the film extras & service personal with his people. i.e. The photographer whose camera was smashed was the official photographer for Italian-American Civil Rights League. & Almost all services, catering, garbage etc. Went through Joe Columbo's Italian-American Civil Rights League members. (Play "Get money, gotta get that money" in the background & things become clear.) Luca Brasi had a real mafia hit man past & scared everyone on set except Brando. & Luca’s fear of Brando was real, Brando scared the crap out of him. While the hit in the revolving door was shot, a real hit was shot across town. Two hits on the same day, one real, & one filmed. The singer is loosely based on Frank Sinatra who had a “lifetime contract” with Big Band Leader Tommy Dorsey. When Tommy Dorsey was made aware the contract would end soon & it would be ‘his’ lifetime that ends it, not Frank’s. Tommy Dorsey had a sudden change of heart & released Frank Sinatra from the contract. & The movie Frank Sinatra made was “From Here To Eternity”. His Oscar for “Best Supporting Actor” said yes, he probably was, the right man for the part. James Caan - ’Sonny’ wanted to be a member of ‘The Family’ more than he wanted to be an actor & spent more time with them than one would recommend. Rather than mimic the Mafia & show America how the mob lives & acts. FBI tapes of the time show just the reverse. They were taking cues from the film on proper ways to dress & behave. (Life Imitates Art) & The cat on Brando’s lap... Just wandered onto set & jumped into his lap, Brando became affectionate & they kept filming.

[@TheCashcrue]

You'll love the second movie.

[@scottdarden3091]

First is better! The screen play, script direction, casting, acting, cinematography, set design, makeup. Tom Hanks said Brando from the beginning to the garden aged perfectly you couldn't even notice till you saw it again. He said he didn't notice until he began working

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Part 2 is pretty good as well

[@scottdarden3091]

[@xxoffdavertxx4162]

Michael waited years to kill Carlo 😂. That level of patience and timing is terrifying in itself. That’s an underrated detail of the movie that I love.

[@BigPete44]

Movie is the 🐐🐐🍿

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

For Marlon´s Brando character in this movie, Don Vito Corleone, Francis Ford Coppola put a jaw prosthesis in his mouth and a gauze, to give him that particular face. Brando was relatively young in this film, and Coppola pretended to age him and look more threatening.

[@RicardoZuñiga-g3n]

Glad to know you're still around on KZbin, I used to watch your music reactions 2 or 3 year ago❤

[@gazoontight]

When Clemenza says, “Hello, Carlo,” you know; you just know. Clemenza was Sonny’s godfather so he made things right.

[@RichardFay]

"Is he like a therapist ?", in a way, maybe. I don't want to spoil the 2nd film, but there's a character in that one who uses his power to push the people around - and let's just say that Vito learned from that how NOT to do business. He has a lot of people who owe him favors.

[@frankcastle9991]

One of the best movies ever. Godfather and Casablanca at the top of the list.

[@philmullineaux5405]

DeNiro and Pacino never did a scene together in any movie, until Heat! They were also in the recent, The Irishman! The funniest comedy based on godfather ever, where Marlon and young Clemenza parodies himself, is the Matthew Broderick movie, the Freshman! A lot of people say, don't watch 3, it's no good. But that's a flaw because they are comparing 3, with two of the best movies ever made! Connie is the director's sister, and also related to Sophia Coppola and Nicolas Cage!!! Carlo from first movie is still alive, always mob associated, and tells in one of his books, who and why JFK RFK and Marilyn got whacked....and he's never been sued by the Kennedys!!! A mob movie DeNiro and Pesci did, that was a semiautobiographical tale by the main actor, who grew up in a small Italia neighborhood that's a MUST watch, A Bronx Tale! John Cazale is Fredo, who's been in maybe some of the top 10 all time movies, including Dog Day Afternoon and Deer Hunter. Roth is based on a real guy , Micky Cohen. Who lived a very plain middle class life! But like Roth, pulled all mob strings. Everything bad that happened in this movie, Roth engineered behind the scenes, by innuendo and whispers! In the first movie where Sonny is screwing the woman behind the door, she gets pregnant and has his illegitimate son, who shows up in 3! And he's definitely sonny's son, his temper! Tom has a son who becomes a priest, and Michael's son is a opera singer, who wants nothing to do with the business! Connie is also Adrian, rockys wife! The singer is the real life story about frank sinatra! Before 1966, to immigrate into America, wasn't easy. U had to pass physical and mental tests, prove u have relatives here, prove u had a job or useful skills, and other things...Connie is Rocky's wife! She is a Coppola/Cage! Her husband in the first, is still alive, has been mob ties all this time, and has written books covering who killed JFK RFK and Marilyn, and why! And has never been sued by the Kennedy family! We knowost sequels arent as good as the first, and a handful are as good. This proly one of about 10 or less, where the sequel is better!And one of the funniest movies ever done is called, The Freshman! Marlon and the young partner of marlon in this, Clemenza, ( also in Good morning Vietnam, When Harry met Sally, City Slickers)basically mimic their roles, and the star is Matthew Broderick!!! And fredo was in some of the biggest movies of the 70s and early 80s with either Robert or Al. Dog Day Afternoon, the deer hunter, these two movies, and others. Everything that bad happens in this movie, is because of Roth. Simple rumor and innuendo, caused fredo, tessio, frankie, etc., to do what they did. The guy testifying in court, is Rocky's first boss! One of Frankie's asassin guys, was in Do the Right Thing, and The Professional and many other great movies. Danny Aiello. The FBI agent has been in every movie since the silent era 😅 dillinger, this, red dawn, green mile, Alien etc. Harry Dean Stanton! The difference between Vito and Michael is, vito did all decisions, and spent all his time, immediate blood family first. Michael put mob family first. Ues frankie did the hit, but based on roth telling him, Michael was going with the Rosatto brothers.When connie asked Michael to forgive Fredo and he hugged him, he was going to. But when Michael looked up and saw Neri, and Neri kind of lowered his head in disappointment, Michael knew he had to kill Fredo. Pro tip...the towel catching on fire, not planned!😮😮😮😮

[@shelia6870]

This is one trilogy that I recommend. Movies usually lose their rating after the first original. These wrap up the whole story in three Movies and that's that. No need for #5,6,....8,etc.. Italian mafia, one of the original NY gangsters.

[@TTM9691]

Third one is ridiculous. The first two are a perfect, seamless, symmetrical set, made two years apart. Third is the studio (and everyone involved) doing a cash grab 20 years later in the sellout 80s/90s. It sucks, don't waste your time, it's an embarrassment. (And that's the general consensus, despite what people will tell you....only on the internet, never met a person in real life who ever said a positive word about the 3rd piece of crap.

[@technofilejr3401]

6:42, I think Tom was not just laughing because it was funny. I think he (and Sonny) has probably been on the other end of that "Act like a man" speech from Vito.

[@jblaze7052]

You have to see part 2. It's both a prequel and sequel to part 1.

[@salsonny]

'What is he supposed to be , a therapist?" Omg

[@captainkangaroo4301]

Yes, he’s exactly like a therapist.

[@richardlaswell463]

17:17 remember the scene with that baker during the wedding. This guy is the bakers son in law that the Don saved from being deported.

[@meridius-]

Nice reaction 👍 quality then for this kind of movie can't be done better with the fancy stuff today, imho. Very enjoyable to see you reacting to these 🙂

[@billolsen4360]

42:40 Yes, in the sequels, you'll see long flashbacks to a younger Don Corleone in the early 1900s in both Sicily and in America.

[@Daniel-i9w7o]

I saw the "Godfather" the first time with my parents at the Fairborn theater back in 1971.

[@technofilejr3401]

40:28, Michael's character arc through this saga is amazing. However, his sister Connie also has a very unexpected arc as well.

[@TheHessian123]

I am with you on how gullible Kay is.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Kay isn't really that gullible, but I think she still saw Michael as the son who didn't want to inherit the family business and the guy she fell in love with and married. There were a few cut scenes that showed more of their relationship when they were both young and in love. In terms of being gullible, I think we're supposed to accept her WASP background placed her as even more of an outsider than younger Mike, and naive.

[@technofilejr3401]

Michael told her the good lie she wanted to believe.

[@XHUERO3]

Great reaction. Glad you been grinding on the channel throwing out the vids. Keep up the good work ❤ plz do the other godfather moives to

[@Stick-a-fork-in-Gmorks-tort]

Poor Don Vito Corleone poster. He had to watch this with you and relive the, "Look how they massacred my boy" scene.

[@explorewithindiamovies7913]

😭😭😭you right

[@josephtingley654]

Here we go!!! India watching my life long favorite movie series!!!!

[@RichardFay]

This film and Godfather II were both based on the same book - in my head they're two parts of the same story (and the book's not bad either). Together they're some of the best filmmaking ever done. Part 3 isn't a bad film on its own, but it's not an essential part of the story unless you just want to see how Michael ends up.

[@technofilejr3401]

5:55, since the beginning Michael told Kay who and what his people are. So why does she act soooo surprised later on?

[@artwhitacre3379]

Almost every Italian will say this movie is their family mine included

[@jacqueline-ki6bk]

Really enjoyed your reaction! And you kept up great with all the different bad guys and betrayers and schemes! It's a lot of story but worth it! Thanks for doing such a great analysis!

[@vincentsaia6545]

Carlo was Connie's husband, not her boyfriend.

[@explorewithindiamovies7913]

lmao way he acted he was a nobody !

[@jpiccone1]

The quaiity of this film is way beyond anything we have today in terms of directing, acting, editing, framing, cinematography, everything, Well, except special effects. But that was because this had a very low budget.

[@justinpitcock5312]

Can’t wait for you to see part 2, it’s one of those sequels that lives up to the hype. It’s as good if not better.

[@technofilejr3401]

2:00, Vito Corleone is a gangster, a murder and a career criminal. But I totally agree with him in this instance, this mortician is mad disrespectful. If you want someone like Don Corleone to be doing some gangsta acts on your behalf, you had best be someone he knows well. Prior to this incident this dude never wanted to even drink a cup of coffee with Vito. Now he expects to just roll up crying and expects the Don to start going ham in the streets. That is utter disrespect.

[@CoryGasaway]

Just when you think a perfect movie has been made, they make Part 2, and it's arguably even better than perfect. 😂 Close the book there, though. Do not, I repeat, do not watch part 3!!!! Don't let these people talk you into it. End the story after 2. Part 3 is a disaster

[@HeWhoShallNotBeShamed]

Is he a therapist? If you mean cracking open skulls and looking inside.

You kept saying "the sister's boyfriend". Did you not realize the whole first part of the movie was their WEDDING? Please finish the trilogy, Part II is brilliant and Part III is good but not as good as the first two.
