Vito Corleone’s loss of power is reflected in his physical appearance and presentation. In the introductory scene of the film, Vito comes across as a powerful figure. His words carry weight and deliberation in his monologue; he wears a fine suit, and his hair neatly slicked back. By contrast, this scene presents Vito in casual clothing, and with unruly hair protruding out of his hat. His body appears languid and shriveled by age. It is a portrait of a powerless Don. Even the simple act of calling out to his grandson and extending his arm as gesture seems like an extra strain on his body.

Late in The Godfather, when Vito Corleone collapses to the ground and his grandson Anthony runs away to get help, viewers are left to look at the former Don’s body lying motionless in the shade of a trellised tomato garden. For five seconds, the only sounds that fill the soundtrack are the birds chirping and the wind blowing through the trees; then the image fades and funeral bells ring in the next scene. Unlike other critical scenes in the film, which rely on dramatic sequence and action, or intriguing dialogue between characters, this scene has a different way of registering with the viewer: its significance is encapsulated in the symbolic images that frame Vito’s final moments and the non-verbal gestures shared between Vito and his grandson.

his power dynamic is reenacted in the garden scene when Vito hands his grandson the watering gun. As a fatigued old grandfather, Vito can no longer stand for too long and he must sit down to watch Anthony play. From this position, Vito still seeks out any control he might have, shouting at his grandson, “over her, over here. Be careful, you’re spilling it, you’re spilling it. Anthony, come here, come here. Come here.” In the same way that he cannot control how Michael runs the family business, Vito cannot control how Anthony uses the water gun to feed the tomato vines. He has passed down the power to the new generation of his family: how they use that power, and how it affects them, are completely out of his control. ***

It is no accident that the central prop of this scene is a watering gun - an implement which evokes power and the potential for violence but does so lightly, even ironically. (Water, not bullets, issue from its ‘barrel’.) Just before this scene, Vito speaks to his son, Michael, in the same garden. In that scene, Vito grapples with the guilt and uncertainty of having to transfer his power down to the next generation. Handing his status and the family business to Michael, he wants also to advise his son and ensure that the business can flourish. Though Michael is not unkind with Vito, neither is he overly deferential: the scene signals clearly that Michael, as the new Don, will make his own decisions.

@robbenn692 жыл бұрын
In Godfather II Vito is wearing a cravat (very wide tie with a slender connecting piece between the wide halves) tied in what is called a scrunch cravat knot. With a regular tie, this is called a simple knot. The fact that he has this know shows he is a wealthy man of refinement, because he would have had to learn to tie this tie from a haberdasher. When I worked in the menswear department for a large department store, I had to learn and be able to teach others how to tie different knots for bowties, long ties, cravats, and ascots.
@robbenn692 жыл бұрын
Cravats were more popular in the Victorian Era among wealthy men because they were made from pure silk. By the end of the 1930s they were no longer in fashion. After WW II they were pretty much gone except in England, where rich men who could afford Valets who care for their clothing and dress them. They are making a comeback in recent years, again, with wealthy bankers and lawyers, who can afford to buy clothing from exclusive haberdasheries.

@athulpthomas85503 жыл бұрын
The only gesture of power that Vito conveys in this scene is reliant on artifice. To get his grandson’s attention, Vito cuts an orange peel and fashions a pair of fangs for his mouth. In his final exertion of power before he dies, he pretends to be a big and scary monster to frighten his grandson. The performance of power is what leads to his death - both literally, in this scene, and symbolically for the overall story arc of his character. Through much of the film, Vito has performed the role of mafia Don as the ultimate exertion of his power, but in this scene, viewers are offered a glimpse into what Vito Corleone looks like without his presentation and appearance as the powerful Don Corleone. When he adorns himself with a pair of fangs, to play pretend with his grandson, the scene frames the gesture as a representation of how Vito performs throughout the film; the only difference here is that viewers witness the process of how Vito transforms himself to convey power, even if it is just to frighten his grandson for a brief moment.

Before the Rico Law, the only legal way to get the boss, the code of Omerta would have to be broken up the chain of command: associate to soldier to lieutenant (if the family has them and should) to capo to consiglere and under boss, and to the boss. Now, all that needs to be done is connect the soldier to that family and have evidence that an individual is the boss and that's it, even if the boss has no knowledge of the criminal activity for which the soldier was pinched.

In the book the Corleone Family was said to be worth around $3.5 billion dollars which is around $10-15 billion in today's money. They had a lot of investments in legitimate and illegal operations. Legitimate Corleone Family businesses: Hotels, Restaurants, Nightclubs, Casinos, Gas stations, the Genco olive oil business. Illegimate businesses: Prostitution ( sex trafficking), Guns. He also had a lot of judges, chiefs of police, lawyers district attorneys, reporters and police officers in his pockets, he also knew a lot of CEO's from banks and fortune 500 companies. So the Corleone's had influence and tremendous power and wealth coming in and Vito never felt the need to flaunt or flash his wealth, for a mafia Don he was frugal and careful with his income, granted he had a multi million dollar home with expensive taste and a few cars but that's as far as he went. He didn't go around and have a summer house in Florida, or a mansion in Hawaii no, he was a very modest and shrewd business man and he loved his children and wife deeply and did everything in his power to keep them safe. Vito might've been a man of few words but don't mistake that for one of his weaknesses, he could pick up a phone and your existence with a single word or pointing of a finger.

While I understand the fear component and is a valid point, in my opinion, before this fear developed, what came first was Americanism. Meaning, the later generations broke with tradition, broke Cosa Nostra rules, and, as a result, faced serious prison time for their crimes, particularly those involving drugs. This is where the fear factor comes into play. They fear that prison time more than the family, and, so consequently, broke Omerta and cooperated.

you left out of the video and mention of the actual founder of the american mafia in the late 1900's in Harlem Pete "clutch hand" Morello who was known as the original boss of bosses until the maranzano luciano wars of the late 1920's. He was the original mustache pete!. You gotta research the mafia history books before making these videos.
@robbenn692 жыл бұрын
The focus here was the reality behind the fiction of The Godfather, not a primer on Mafia history. Giuseppe "claw hand" Morello, aka Mustache Pete to the Camorra (Neopolitan Mob), was the founder of a gang on 107th Street in upper Manhattan in the 1890s. That is about 10 years before young Vito Andolini came to NYC. Morello's underboss was Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Maseria, whom also is not mentioned in this video. Morello's family would eventually become the Luciano/Genovese Family. What the book calls the "Olive Oil War" is in reality the Castellamarese War. This is the one where Salvatore Maranzano was killed. In the book, Maseria is called Mariposa. By the time of the of Don Vito is operating in the 19-teens, Morello was in prison. In 1920, when Morello was released, with threats on his life he fled back to Corleone, Sicily (his hometown). So in the fictional world, Vito Corleone would not cross paths with Morello. But since Morello's uncle was the Mafia chief in Corleone, it is entirely possible that he would have been the Don who killed Vito Andolini's father, if the fiction was real. Also, because the Mafia won in the Mafia-Camorra War, Alphonse Capone had to get out of town and Johnny Torrio was his way out. Puzo references this in the note to Capone, "You know now how I deal with enemies. Why does a Neapolitan interfere in a quarrel between two Sicilians?" But, my hat is off to you for knowing the more detailed history. Not many do, I am impressed. Bravo.

"La Cosa Nostra" translates as "the Our Thing", which makes no sense. Drop the "la".

It’s supposed to mean “this thing of ours”. Like how in italiano beviamo donne means the women all drink but is exactly translated as drink women.

I would disagree on one part. Weather Micheal or Sonny! I would give cold blooded to Micheal and ruthless and cruel to Sonny. I make the term for Sonny as he ordered bloody murders, murdered a under boss, and his beat down and threats to carlo. Micheal is cold blooded for going extreme and killing his brother. Micheal did nothing different than a man with new found power and being as his father.

In my opinion, Sonny would be more dangerous.

The glorification of evil in these videos is mind boggling. I doubt these criminals ever had good intentions in their evil minds ever, because it was always about their lust for violence, blood, power, and money that drove their whole existence. If you were ever a victim or even an innocent bystander I doubt you would share in the enthusiasm for this glorification of evil .

Analysis isn't glorification.

Never forget this is a work of fiction, well researched but non the less romanticised. At the end of the day law enforcement got them to roll over on each other and they ended up in jail.

Why are clemenza and tesio down as former caporegime with vito still as don. Its like Vito, Sonny and Tom have been cut and pasted over Michael, Fredo and Tom on the family tree

Clemenza and tessono started everything with Vito.. they were his original caporegiemes.

The family tree board is from the Senate investigation in Gf II. By that time, Tessio and Clemenza are dead, replaced by Frank Pentangeli, who it is implied had something to do with Clemenza's heart attack, Al Nieri, and Rocco Lampone, who is the guy who made his bones by killing Paulie Gatto. When Michael moved to Lake Tahoe, he let those three run Corleone NYC.
