"I forgo the vengeance of my son" | The meeting of the five families | The Godfather | CLIP

[@RobertVerner-uy8os]

When he said “I’m going to blame some of the people in this room,” he looked directly at barzini and Tattaglia

[@samuelzins5089]

Great catch

[@mayursinalkar606]

Vito showed anger, fury, wrath, sorrow in 5 mins. Best ever by Marlon 🏆

[@samuelzins5089]

Agreed. This and the garden scene are in my opinion the best 2 in the film, which is arguably my favorite and definitely the best I've seen

[@erinmaree1987]

Literally he's the worst part of it for me. Incredibly hammy and cartoonish

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Mario Puzo said he wanted Vito be a "mustached Pete", a peasant. Brando said he should resemble a CEO of General Motors. After watching Brando, Puzo admitted Brando was correct.

[@samuelzins5089]

@@ricardocantoral7672 That's interesting. Brando had an incredible understanding of characters, which is probably why he was so good at improvising throughout his career

[@stinkfinger630]

Great actor! The best?

[@gab99]

So Shakesperian. Tattaglia is right, there would be vengeance. Many of them would be killed. Not by the Don and his swearing on the souls of his "grandchildren" but his son....and there was a warning there too at the end.

[@alex.qb2334]

Which warning? could you point it out ?

[@gab99]

@@alex.qb2334 when he speaks of how if his son comes back and people aim to kill him. Which of course they do try. They pay a price. It is inference. He swears on his grandchildren, not his direct line. Tattaglia misses that.

[@dciccantelli]

@@alex.qb2334 Yes as gab99 pointed out. The key line is when he said "I am a suspicious man". He knew if ANYTHING happened to Michael upon coming back & facing charges (including 'struck by a bolt of lightening'), it would be no coincidence.

I love how Vito was there obviously to buy time but more than anything analyze the room and know WHO really was behind it all. Barzini. Such a beautiful movie

[@parrker1591]

2:47 This is when the godfather found out that "It was Barzini all along." Tattaglia gives Barzini a look in a seek of consent. The don notices, then reacts at 2:50

[@jommyfonseca6109]

Barzini was the most who have to gain

[@dailystriver2727]

No it was when Barzini said “refusal is not the act of a friend..if Don corleone has politicians in his pocket then he must share them, he must let us draw from the well, certainly he can produce a bill for such services”

[@eddievangundy4510]

Barzini is obviously very powerful, that look doesn't mean anything. It just means that Barzini is running the meeting. Which everybody understands. He's sitting at the head of the table.

[@eddievangundy4510]

​@@dailystriver2727that doesn't prove barzini was trying to take out corleone. It just means that he is in favor of running the drugs too. As are most of them.

[@dailystriver2727]

@@eddievangundy4510 yes it does because of what he said he is forcing the drug business to go ahead which means he was behind it all along, and sollazo was his puppet it was him backing sollozo and playing the strings and the assassination attempt on Vito all along

And later when Michael is speaking to the Don he says “I’ll handle it” in the book- “Truly his fathers son”

[@leobthelionshow]

But that’s because they moved against Don Corleone right?

[@kdryan21]

Vito talks about keeping Micheal safe, but not one mention of Fredo's safety. He felt certain the rest of the families saw him as a non-combatant. Shows how his low opinion of Fredo is and how far he was kept removed from the Olive Oil business.

[@jarnodatema]

He was under the protection of the don in Nevada. He was safe.

[@mymusic8414]

Michael was the one who killed solazzo and the police captain, which is why he fled to Sicily. The families wanted Michael dead, they didn't care about Fredo.

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

This is a NY thing, East coast thing. What they have in Nevada *NOBODY* is ever going to risk screwing up for *EVERYBODY* . It wasn’t just their greatest racket, it was the greatest money laundering operation, probably in US if not world history. So this issue is not going to spread to Nevada, it’s mob sanctuary. Until what happened in Casino, some stupid fool mob man and arrogant bookie brought heat and it was just another pillar of the case that brought them down and they lost it all. (Well, they sold to corpos, and not all of Casino is accurate but it’s close)

[@brainflash1]

Fredo was always trash. Couldn't be bothered to protect his own father. Waited until Vito got shot to get out of the car and then drop his pistol.

[@jarnodatema]

The very idea of a work meeting where 2 of your coworkers have to explain their motives behind murdering each others children, and then forgo vengeance upon each other so the enterprise can be profitable again is absolutely insane. Imagine your child being gunned down brutally and having to cuddle one of the men behind it so Alf and Fanny at work can get their christmas bonus.

[@atlas7027]

Vito, at least, didn’t go out of his way to make peace for the sake of money. Further escalation would have put Michael in danger, and going to the mattresses was -generally- an unpopular idea, because even in the heyday of the mafia, there was a point where bribery couldn’t save you because the authorities were eventually forced to step in.

[@malbourne805]

When that boss stood up and talked about paying his people extra so they wouldn't get into drugs; when he mentioned about selling drugs to Blacks and called them "animals", you could see a subtle look of utter disgust on both Tom's and Vito's faces.

[@TheoneGodfather]

This is probably my favorite scene from The Godfather movies.

[@shahabnabavi7302]

3:50 i just noticed Vito gets up and gestures to Tom to get up, but then Tom just sits back down. Huh? LOL

[@0kills]

Tom moved vito’s chair backwards i guess 😂😂😂

[@TheoneGodfather]

He didn’t expect Tom to stay standing.

[@Sinnerboy88]

I thought it was to assist him with the chair.. you know, pull it out from behind him as he was going to be standing up.

[@samuelzins5089]

It was to help him up if he needed it, which he turned out not to, so tom went back

[@Omav]

it was to pull the chair back so he can stand up straight

[@davidfischer1971]

one of the best performances ever. i have to remind myself that it is brando playing the character. i don't see brando, i see vito corleone. and i literally mean that. brando completely drops whatever his personal behaviour would be.

[@helluva4232]

Different levels of negotiation going on at the same time in this room: Vito talking to Tataglia about a personal dispute, but to Barzini about the big picture (the drug trade). Both Tataglia and Vito stop listening when the lower level capo tries to speak (notice how Tataglia turns to his second at that same time) to show their disinterest in mediocre street game, and finally, Vito addressing the whole room to remind the animals that adults have made peace and chaos will not be tolerated.

Some of the differences between the cultures of my country and yours. BUT, we are not unreasonable people. It's the business that wants to improve their profit lines. The culture stemming from them introducing their products is not of the government, but business, that is all. Just as we appreciate the gold products in your markets, your people may appreciate the products we offer from ours. It's good business, no mention of government influence.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Took me a number viewings to finally appreciate how brilliant this scene is. Barzini made a huge mistake when he expressed his desire to take advantage of the politicians Vito had in his pocket.

[@jarnodatema]

Barzini overplayed his hand by saying that it was ‘settled’. He was too greedy.

[@MegaThucydides]

Ah the old days, when the top gangsters were elegantly dressed, and spoke in a clear and eloquent manner

I always enjoy the “or if he’s struck by a bolt of lightning” to drive home that he’s killing all of them if Michael dies.

[@carlhicksjr8401]

Easily Brando's greatest role. And frankly, he should have retired after it. Nothing else he did later had the gravity of the Godfather. And here's the thing, I am not a great fan of the movie. Like GoodFellas, Casino, and Scarface, it glamorizes and attempts to legitimize people that are a cancer. Putting it as clearly as I can, The Godfather is a lie wrapped in a myth. While there was an era of peace after Luciano formed The Commission, the sons of those men proved beyond any shadow of any doubt that they were no better than the bootleggers, pimps and murderers of the 1920s. Having said all that, Brando did an extraordinary job as an actor in this film and that credit is well and truly due his memory.

But it's not. "Oppenheimer," on the other hand, is, as are many modern movies that retread on the same maudlin tropes about humanity. The Godfather was the first of its kind when it debuted and broke the Hollywood mold of the gangster genre.
