Nobody needs to see your idiotic suggestions of how she should operate her channel. She's expected to react or KZbin will strike her for merely watching a movie as a copyright violation. The reason she keeps talking is to assure KZbin that this has some type of educational value rather than blatant copyright violation.

Sonny gives Michael that "college boy" rap when he suggests that he kill Sollozzo. But Michael was a marine officer, serving in the Pacific, and was awarded the Silver Star and the Navy Cross. Michael definitely knows what it means to take human life.

For someone who seemed confused by basic plot points, I’m super impressed that you figured out immediately that Carlo beat Connie to get Sonny to drive there so he could get shot at the toll booth! Most reactors don’t figure that out until Michael spells it out at the end.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

Even a blind squirrel finds the occasional nut.

[@bwilliams463]

What Sonnie doesn't understand is that Mike was a Marine, which means he fought in the Pacific theater in WW2. The Japanese were fanatical, animalistic enemies and a lot of the fighting and killing was done at VERY close range. I believe Mike's war experience is why he turned out to be even more ruthless than his father. Whereas Don Vito learned how to settle disagreements with influence and diplomacy - as much as possible, anyway - Michael was used to fighting enemies who had to be killed IMMEDIATELY and who could not be reasoned with.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

His father couldn't reason with all his enemies. In GF II and in the novel the real story is more thoroughly fleshed out. And yes, some of their enemies had to be killed immediately. Basically, you're right about Mike's experience in the Pacific and how hardened he must have become, but it's debatable if he was actually more ruthless than Vito.

[@KnizeVladivoj]

Somebody did an analysis of Mike's medals on the uniform and considering the rank, he was in command of hundreds, with the medals showing he was commanding in Pacific, where artillery was rather lacking and the fighting was done close quarters and only with the strength of hands, plus I believe that he even had Purple Heart? Which means he was wounded.

The book indicates that Apollonia and Michael married after only a few weeks of courtship and she was dead within a few weeks after that. There is a huge language barrier between Apollonia and Michael. Apollonia had no time to understand the extent that Michael was in the mafia, or support him for being in the mafia.

I don't know how many people caught the comment about housing being more affordable when they were leaving Clemenza's house, but no, it wasn't. These men were crime lords, so they could afford better homes. The average person was struggling just as much as today. In fact, there was a massive home shortage post war, with millions of servicemen returning home and starting families. There was a massive building boom into the 50's. Many of those old neighborhoods today with 12-1300 sq ft homes you see were part of that boom. Nothing happening in today's world is new. If you watch enough old movies, you'll see that they had the same problems.

[@markdenio4537]

Good point. Especially when you see the New York slums in Part II and how many people were living in tiny rooms.

[@mercb3ast]

Yes it was. This is an absolutely crazy take. The average price of a house in 1940 was ~2900 dollars average annual income for a man, ~950 dollars. Adjusted for inflation, that's 30k in 2000, in 2024 adjusted for inflation 64k. In 1970 it price was 17k. Today, the median house price in the USA is $420,400. Average annual income in 2024 59k. So yea, you're not only wrong, you're WILDLY wrong. Annual home price in 1940 was effectively 3x the annual income of a man. The average price of a home today, is effectively 7.1 times higher than the average annual income. There was also far less wealth inequality in the 1940s, which means the curve was flatter then. The difference between the stupidly rich and the average was far less than it is today. Do I need to explain what that means? Most Americans are not making 59k a year. The average income is taking into account the Jeff Bezos' and Elon Musk's of the world which skew the number higher. Let's do 1945 though. Average annual income, 2400. Average house cost of a NEW house, 4600. Less than 2x the annual average income. Brand new car, 1,000 dollars. Average cost to rent a house for a month, 60 dollars. Other than there being a housing boom in the late 40s and 50s, nothing you said was accurate about housing costs. My paternal grandfather came back from the Pacific as an 18 year old in 1945. He bought a house in Berlin Wisconsin for less than 2k dollars. It was probably around 2k square feet, two story brick if I remember correctly, I saw it once when I was about 8 years old. How many soldiers do you know who are buying a family home at 18 today? Zero. Unless they have family money, ZERO.

In the first scene (anthological) we see much of Don Corleone's personality. He didn't need or want money (killing for money was simply the worst offense). He just needed true respect, loyalty and honest friendship. Favors for other favors.

[@jamespfp]

55:10 -- RE: Confused over what's going on; Michael is *literally* becoming the "Godfather" for Connie's son, and the baptism service is a formal way for him to do that (with the Church's blessing) and also acts as an alibi for where he is and what he's doing. There's extra irony of course since the Baptism service includes what is effectively an exorcism, which is why Michael is asked to renounce Satan even as he knows he's ordered other people killed.

In writing the novel, Mario Puzo really indulged his penchant for grossly overworking every last detail to death. He was capable of dedicating a whole chapter to a character just picking his nose, and then would dedicate at least one whole additional chapter to what happened to the booger after it was flicked away. Francis Ford Coppola brought much tighter focus to the narrative.

I am a guy who saw this at age 14 when it came out. Like most of us guys, we were impressed by the respect a man live Vito, and Mike had. However, even Vito, as nice as you think he is, has blood on his hands. By the way, I read the book, if you wondered what happened to the guys who beat up the mortician's daughter from the opening scene, Clemenza had a couple of guys meat up with them outside some bar and they were beaten within and inch of their lives.

[@rickcosman9670]

You did pretty good. As was mentioned once or twice already you got that Carlo set Sonny up to be killed on the Causeway. Most first time reactors don’t get that on their own. Good for you. The thing that you seem to have missed (which most of us miss the first time) is that the mass assassinations at the end is not Micheal’s doing, it’s Vito’s. Michael would not have had enough time between the funeral and the baptism to find out the routines of everyone he was going to Hitler and where they are most vulnerable. That research was done before Vito died. So let’s review: Vito goes to the meeting and realizes that Barzini and not Tattalia is driving the drug business and at least one of the other Dons is in on it already. When Vito says “I will not be the one to break the peace we made here today” what he did not say was that it would be Barzini. When Vito tell’s Michael that Barzini will send someone you trust to set up a meeting that was both a warning and a trigger. Barzini sending Tesio to set up the meeting which will be an ambush for Micheal is an act that breaks the peace. That allows Michael to put the revenge plan into action without breaking Vito’s promise. In the scene where Micheal takes over the family business there is a lot that goes on that a lot of people miss. Michael tells Tesio and Clemenza “that things will happen that will solve all your problems” but there are no details. Vito knows that one of them will probably be the one to betray Michael Micheal tells Tom, “ you are not a wartime consigliere “ why does Michael need a wartime consigliere if Vito has made the peace. Vito and Micheal are planning for war and only the two of them can know about it because they don’t know for sure who the traitor will be. Vito tells Tom “ there are things to be done that you can have no part in.” It’s not likely that Tom will be the traitor because he is not Sicilian, but it is possible so he too must be kept at arms length. Also he is to be the family lawyer in Las Vegas so it is best if he has his hands clean. Michael is moving the family to Vegas to put a veneer of respectability on it so he needs Tom to be respectable. The other thing that happened was Carlo went from “just give him a living, never discuss the family business with him” to “Carlo, when we make our move to Las Vegas you’ll be my right hand man.” And Vito seemed very happy by the decision. The family dynamic had not changed so much that Carlo should supplant Tom. That should have been a big red flag for what is about to happen to Carlo. As you will learn in the Godfather part 2 Vito’s rule is “ keep your friends close but your enemies closer.” One other thing about Tom; when he tells Vito about Sonny’s death and Vito tells Tom to call the undertaker, Tom just picks up the phone without checking the number on a list or in the phone book. Now this could just have been a mistake the director did not catch. However I like to think that it is a peak into Tom’s ability that he does not need to check lists he just remembers everything he hears and reads.

[@gazoontight]

There are a lot of details in the book that they could not put into the movie, or it would have been 8 hours long. Regarding Bonasera's daughter: in the book Clemenza sends Paulie and a couple of other guys to pay the two attempted rapists a visit. As Paulie tells them, "If these two get out of the hospital in less than a month you're going back to driving trucks." Luca Brasi is a very bad, very violent man. In the book you find out just how savage he really is. Supposedly Vito Corleone is the only man Luca fears, and Luca is the only man Vito fears. Pay attention to the decorations on Michael's uniform. They are important later. He has the Navy Cross, given for bravery in combat. Something that you probably are unaware of is how removed from mainstream American life most Italian people were until after World War Two. They were discriminated against and looked down upon and treated as not quite American enough. Kay does not fit into Michael's world. She's a WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) and she has no idea how to maneuver in Michael's world. I guarantee that Kay's family was not happy about her dating Michael. The book alludes to this. The song the mother and the old man sing at the wedding is pretty suggestive, as you might guess from the old man's hand gestures. The bridesmaid who Sonny was "doing" is Lucy Mancini. If you watch Part Three, you'll see her again. Johnny Fontaine (the singer at the wedding) is Vito's godson, down on his career, and he's asking his godfather for help. In the book Woltz (studio head) is even worse than in the film. He's a real piece of garbage on two legs. In the book, the director Woltz has a very inappropriate interest in very young girls. Pay attention to the fruit in the bowls. Notice anything? In the scene with the horse head, the actor did not know that there would be a real head in the bed. His screams were real. Johnny Fontaine was played by Al Martino, a popular singer in the 1960s. The character is said to have been based on Frank Sinatra. The guys laugh at Michael when he describes his plan for Sollazzo and McClusky. They forgot about Michael's Navy Cross - he had been in combat, and he had definitely killed men in the war. When Luca Brasi goes to speak with Sollazzo and the Tattaglias did you notice that he didn't shake Sollazzo's hand? That's how they knew he wasn't serious. Of course they took the cannoli. Clemenza's wife specifically asked for them. The man in the back seat who shot Paulie is Rocco Lampone. If you watch Part Two you'll see him again. In Sicily, the man who gets out of the car to talk to Michael and who walks with a limp is Tomasso, a friend of Vito's. If you watch Part Two, you'll see him again. Sicily had a lot of people move in through the years, Italian, Greek, North Africa, French, Jewish, so Appollonia being more Greek than Italian isn't a big surprise. At her wedding Apollonia is serving some candied nuts, an Italian tradition at weddings. The irony of the one don talking about keeping drugs restricted to "the colored" is that for a good part of the 20th Century Italians were considered to be "colored" by a lot of Americans. During the baptism/multiple murder scene, the man in the police uniform is an ex-cop, Al Neri. If you watch Parts Two and Three you'll see him again. The man who trapped Don Cuneo in the revolving door and killed him is Willi Cicci; if you watch Part Two you will see him again. The utter blasphemy of being a godfather and reciting the baptismal promises while orchestrating so many murders is striking. When Clemenza says, "Hello, Carlo," you know it's over. In the book you will find out that Clemenza is Sonny's godfather, so he gets to take out Carlo. At the end, talking to Kay, Michael skated on a technicality. He didn't physically kill Carlo but no honest person would say that he was innocent. Now watch parts Two and Three. Throughout the series try to contrast Vito and Michael. A big question, ne that you realized early on, is this: is Vito a bad man or is he a good man in a bad situation? Corleone is a city in Sicily. That was not the family's real surname - you'll have to watch another movie for that to be explained. The man in the car who spoke with Michael is Don Tomasso, a friend of Vito's. He will be seen again, too, in Parts Two and Three. One of Michael's guards, Fabrizzio, wants to go to the USA. He arranged the bomb in the car. There's a deleted scene in another movie - justice comes calling eventually. The man playing piano is Carmine Coppolla, Francis' father. "Pop had Genco." Genco Abbandando was Vito's first consigliere; in the book he dies early on. Vito names his olive oil business after Genco. You'll see Genco in Part Two. In the scene with the tomato plants, the kid was really scared. Marlon Brando really did comfort the kid and Coppolla left that in the movie. The baptism scene: the baby was Sofia Coppola, Francis' daughter. She appears in a very small role in the next movie and she's in the third, too. The blasphemy of Michael, standing as godfather to his sister's child while orchestrating the murders of Tattaglia, Greene, Stracci, Cuneo, and Barzini. A couple of the assassins, Al Neri and Willi Cicci - you'll see them again, Cicci in Part Two and Neri in Parts Two and Three. Cicci kills Cuneo and Neri kills Barzini. The man who tells Michael that it's been done is Rocco Lampone, who killed Paulie. You'll see him again, too, in Part Two. The gist of Michael's and Sollozzo's conversation is that Sollozzo has great respect for Vito and what happened was business. Vito thinks old-fashioned (not wanting to get involved in drugs). Some people, including me, feel that the old Michael died and the new Michael was born once Apollonia was killed.

I consider those 3 a trilogy also, tho their stories have nothing to do with each other, but they all came out about the same time and many of the same actors, including the TV show, the sopranos. Many will say 3 isn't as good, but thats compared to 2 of the best movies ever made! Pro tip, Vito's cat was a stray that wandered on set, Marlon just decided to keep it! Carlo is the actor Gianni Russo. He's still alive and tons of mob stories. He tells everyone they killed. Type in the name Gianni Russo...and Jack Ruby, Gianni russo and Lee Harvey Oswald, etc... Marilyn Monroe, JFK, rfk, Jimmy Hoffa! Yes, its Adrian! Tom is Robert Duvall 🤗 first came out in To kill a Mockingbird, and really made a name for himself in apocalypse now! The wrestler was practicing his lines outloud, and Coppola kept it in! Francis Ford Coppola, Adrian, Nicholas Cage, and Sophia Coppola, all related! The johnny Fontaine story is about Frank Sinatra. Frank was huge star starting in the 30s as a singer. But he wanted in movies but his star was fading. He goes to a couple mob bosses friends. Suddenly he gets From Here to Eternity and Manchurian Candidate! This is also where the line comes from, never wake up with a horses head! The difference between Vito and Michael is, Vito considered every decision through his immediate family first. Not Michael. The woman sonny is banging behind the door, their illegitimate son comes back in 3! Fredo is John cazalle was in some of the Best movies ever, bf of Merryl Streep, but lived a short life. Most notably a movie u should review, The Deer Hunter. A classic line, Leave the gun take the cannoli! Also a fantastic comedy was made with Vito and young clemenza from part 2 and Ferris Bueller, u hace to watch, the freshman! During Sonny's beat down scene of Carlo, he actually broke his nose, 2 ribs, and orbital bone! The shooting scene of Sonny, James caan got freaked out because the FX guy said, he never put so many blood squibs on a guy! The guy who shot barhzini in the glass turning doors and in 2, Rocky's boss!

I hope you see that this is one of the best movies ever made. Just wait until you see the next one.

[@davidelmquist8670]

On to the sequels!

[@gerryweed7697]

The history of organized crime criminals never has a happy ending .

[@duckarse11]

[@bogdannila1478]

it s a MAFIA movie...haven't you heard of the MAFIA?

[@scottdarden3091]

It's hard for you to keep track because you aren't really paying attention 😊 Luca Brasi was the one practicing his lines at the wedding to speak to the Godfather and the one the Godfather asked to spy on Solotso. That they choked to death in the bar. The actor Lenny Montana was a real life enforcer for the Colombo crime family.

[@HeidiDenoble]

It's annoying when young reactors miss the substance of older movies. I think it's because older movies rely on dialogue and all they see today are things blowing up and CGI.

[@Sirala6]

@@HeidiDenoble Also helps to have an attention span that lasts longer than 1.5 seconds. This girl is an airhead.

[@kristahartmann6712]

Her constant talking obscures the brilliant screenplay and nuanced performances. Ridiculous...

[@scottdarden3091]

In Godfather II you will see it was Sonny that introduced Carlo to Connie 😢

[@LegitLeeAF]

The Godfather says "we're not murderers". And you're like "so did he agree to murder the guys?" Lol

[@Redplant99]

Vito just arranged to have those two guys savagely beaten (as they did with the undertaker's daughter). In the novel, it describes how Paulie & a couple of thugs take care of them in brutal fashion.

[@LegitLeeAF]

@Redplant99 I know haha. Her getting the information of "we're not murderers" and then her going "so they're gonna murder them" was silly to me lol

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Moreover, he instructs Tom to have Clemenza use reliable people "who won't get carried away."

[@LegitLeeAF]

@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 The Godfather says that clearly in the movie and she was still unsure lol

[@jmurdock8303]

Happy Ending ? My dear lady you are watching a gangster movie. What ? Majority of the people were opposition to the family. I don't see what you can possibly be torn about.

[@erwinquiachon8054]

The Godfather movies are a social experiment to test the moral aptitude of the audience. They are based upon the theme of moral/emotional blindness, from Shakespeare's King Lear. Like King Lear, the Godfather movies are about succession of power and the moral judgment that goes with leadership. You will see Michael Corleone tested for his moral and emotional judgment. You will also see the comments for your reactions to these films vary in moral aptitude. You will see a lot of comments to your reactions that have very low moral judgement while they misinterpret the first two Godfather films. The third Godfather film provides moral clarity, as in the ending of Shakespeare's King Lear. The people with low moral aptitude will misinterpret the first two films and hate the third film because it provides the moral clarity to make those people with low moral aptitude realize that they were wrong about the first two films.

[@PrinceofPain-wv1lo]

Dig it*..

[@eatsmylifeYT]

How about reacting to "Parasite" and "Train to Busan"?

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Right. Really connected to the Godfather---wha?

[@eatsmylifeYT]

@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 What do you want me to do, say the same thing everyone else is saying? It's a movie reaction channel. I'm suggesting movies to react to. Is it just me or are you too intellectually challenged to insult?

[@cantstandsnomore]

It's not PG. You have Godfather 2 & 3 to go after this.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

12:38 "Why do I feel like he's going to go bad?" Because you know this is a great movie. You can't have a great movie without a great story. You can't have a great story without a great lead character You can't have a great lead character without a character arc Michael has to become something completely different from the normal, happy, law-abiding, good man that he was when we met him.

[@woodspirit98]

It's Sicily not Italy

[@SpaceCattttt]

Your name is........Paul? 🤔

[@mpl5164]

The second movie is even better!

[@bdleo300]

No it's not, it's nowhere near this movie - basically copy paste of the first movie (but significantly worse story and characters development) plus completely unnecessary Vito's origin story. And no Marlon.

[@phillipmullineaux9641]

Pro tip, at the wedding of Michael, the man in the wheelchair, u see how he got there, in 2!

[@JustGrowingUp84]

All the things you talked about in the outro, will be explored (and explained) in the second movie! So I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to that.

[@TheseDarkWoods]

The second one is also a bloody masterpiece. Definetely check out that one. The third is… pretty good.

[@UberDurable]

The microphone should have been positioned in front of you from the beginning.

[@hartspot009]

Please..Part 2 next! Considered the best sequel film history. Your reactions are great!

[@donw804]

Please watch part 2 next. Every bit as good as this one (if not even better)

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

One of the greatest films of all time. The sequel is even better

[@bdleo300]

No it's not. This one is vastly better.

[@MrAitraining]

If you loved the music, Part 2 has the most beautiful music score. I even have the soundtrack CD for it.

[@kusti8428]

I understand that this is a reaction to the movie, but you don't have to comment on every scene. Especially over the movie!

[@johnm.maunder5191]

I watch lots of reactors for movies I like. Their different styles are part of the enjoyment. I like her's alot.

[@michaeljohnson9969]

I love these movies. GF II is even better. It takes place in two timeframes . How the Don comes to America and gains power, and how Michael retains it.

[@bdleo300]

No it's 'better', GF II is nowhere near this movie.

[@nicknitro4420]

Part 2 is epic better than 1 .........

[@bdleo300]

Of course not, Part 1 is million times better

[@darthtyrion8057]

Can you do more reactions yourself, I prefer watching you over the others lol

[@HonkHonkler]

JOHNNNY WAS IS GOD SON! T

[@martinlatour9311]

You are a cutie
