Bring home the epic trilogy on 4K Ultra HD and Digital now: paramnt.us/The...
No movie changed Hollywood more than THE GODFATHER. From the bestselling novel by Mario Puzo to box-office blockbuster, its influential legacy endures to this day. Starring Marlon Brando in his Oscar®-winning performance as the patriarch of the Corleone family, this first installment in the three-movie saga paints a dramatic portrait of the Sicilian clan’s rise and near fall from power in America. Balanced between the Corleone’s commitment to family and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged, it features career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, Diane Keaton and Robert Duvall. This searing and brilliant masterpiece garnered ten Academy Award® nominations, and won three, including Best Picture.
Featuring: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, John Cazale, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Sterling Hayden, Richard Conte, Talia Shire, Al Lettieri

2:00 The look on Vito’s face says it all. He knows Michael can handle it. He’s always known Michael could handle it. He just never wanted him to have to.

[@ken-yo2hz]

When Michael moves his father’s bed in the hospital and Vito opens his eyes slightly, you can see him crying. He knew he was now involved. The next time we see him the first thing he asks is “Where’s Michael?”

[@thelevisullivan]

@@ken-yo2hz I think Vito was crying in the hospital because he was happy to see his son.

[@paulofp1926]

@@thelevisullivan Ih think that as well, but both ocasions be true.

[@AndyJay1985]

One thing really interesting to note is both characters establish their destiny with a murder. Michael by killing the Captain and Sollozzo and Vito killing Fanucci.

[@MLGProTroller]

@@ken-yo2hzVito was sick and recovering. I don’t think he was aware as to why his son was ACTUALLY there; more than likely assumingely so he would assume Michael is just there to visit him. He wouldn’t have been able to know what was happening as no one else BUT Michael at that point knew what was happening until Michael makes a phone call.

[@edj_25]

Don Vito Corleone has more lines in this clip.... "I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life, I don't apologize, to take care of my family. And I refused -- to be a fool -- dancing on the string, held by all those -- bigshots. I don't apologize -- that's my life -- but I thought that -- that when it was your time -- that -- that you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator - Corleone. Governor - Corleone, or something... "

[@prasantabanerjee1184]

“Another pezzonovante…”

[@debtpeon]

@Ralph Macchiato It's not part of the same hypocrisy. It's about not being powerless and having to dance to someone else tune. It's the reality of the world. Dog eat dog and making sure you and your family thrive and not just merely survive.

[@AsianShadowrunner]

And, in the end, he died alone. *Powerless.* No friends, no family, no more influencing. No one around anymore. Tragic, really.

Fredo was weak, Sonny was quick tempered...Michael was smart and ruthless, not because he liked to be...because he had to be.

[@GrosvnerMcaffrey]

Worst part is Michael was the most sacred to Vito that's what makes his development more tragic

[@lionspride9367]

In the end tho he was able to keep the family together. He was not as good as his father

[@robertmasina7388]

@Foldy. Michael was the right son to take over from his father as the don of the Corleone family. The other two sons had the negative points you mentioned.

[@mellothaman5113]

Michael was also emotional . Very quick to show his hand . That’s why ppl were so quick to turn against him or go after him

[@Mokkari77]

Coppola realized he didn't have a scene where Vito and Michael talk, just father and son so he asked Robert Towne to write one

[@josecarranza7555]

They did have couple of scenes together but they were removed from the film. Like when they went to the hospital to visit Genco. And when Michael returned home from Sicily and asked Vito on what to do about Sonny and Sicily.

[@jesustovar2549]

This scene sums up The Godfather very well, we see the most important characters, Vito and Michael, father and son, both talking about rasing family and the menaces that were about to come, Vito says what he though about his sons and his life and that how he dosen't regret it because he never wanted to dance on the strings on powerful people (maybe a reference on The Godfather's logo, the puppeteer's hand) in the end he wanted Michael to have a responsible life being a kind of dipolmatic and mostly to be respected but Michael gave his soul and respect to his father so much that he maybe wanted to be like him, but in the end he couldn't because he knew how to maintain power and wealth, but not the most important thing, which was the family.

[@juanoteo6249]

[@akhil__dev]

Each and every frame is beautiful. The colors, composition, that bicycle in the background, lighting. Makes me wanna watch the movie again.

[@davidsandz2186]

This is acting of the highest quality...should be studied in drama schools...when Vito just after "the funny papers" he, very briefly, goes into himself...mbe back to himself reading the funny papers or his kids reading them...a sublime moment in a sublime scene in a sublimely acted film...it also give the lie to Brando's oft repeated disdain for acting...someone who is supposed to be disdainful about acting doesn't bother to go that far...that brief moment isn't in the script!...but it shows an actor totally 'in the moment'...and both actors are at the top of their game.....just brilliant and a joy to watch.

There's a deep pain in Vito, that he's placing on Michael, that only a father can see.. beautiful scene.

[@mmnnpp21]

Every word that came out from his mouth is just a pure wisdom What a legendary don

[@Howlingburd19]

Michael has one of the best character arcs ever in my opinion. He seems like among the very last people in the Corleone family to succeed Vito, but of course due to some of the best character development in cinema history, his transformation is absolutely believable! Michael would end up being far colder than his father, and that’s why Michael was more feared, but less respected.

[@ass09tube]

Vintage stuff. No matter what reason Jack Nicholson or Robert deNiro give : they both know 'I missed out here'. This scene .. timeless reel which became cinematic history. Scene such this with Brando ....epic. Al got it.

One of the most fascinating characters in film. I don't see Marlon Brando, only Vito Corleone. He also wore some of the coolest suits in the saga lol. Nothing overstated. Man I love this movie, and I love Vito.

[@UMBChannel2019]

Wow I can't believe this film is 50 years old

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

I have no doubt in my mind that Vito's unexpected passing was a major blow to Michael's plans regarding his father's counseling. In my opinion, I think that is one reason why he only continued to do business with those with whom his father had had a good relationship and made Clemenza his unofficial underboss and consiglere. While he learned a lot from his father over his lifetime, Cosa Nostra was still a new world to him, and he needed someone who he could trust but also had extensive experience. Clemenza was the best option.

What's lovely here is that even though Don is retired and all he wants is to spend the last years of his life away from his businesses and the mafia endeavours,he still advises his son out of fear of losing him.The love he has for Michael overcomes his need for some relaxement,he doesn't want to see him end up like Sonny,so he repeats things that he has already said, so he can be sure that Michael will be safe from any outside threats.This scene perfectly portrtays the endless love a father has for his sons.

[@simonjack9699]

@@healthycigarettes5088 all of that is very true but the most important detail is he would have never had to witness his daughter being shot in such a brutal way after all deaths the reason why he went back to Italy and died alone because his Mafia life destroyed everything that he loved and cared about. That's probably also a reason why his father never wanted him to get into the family business because he knew from personal experience That's How It Ends that's how it always happens. It's the same example for Sons of Anarchy in terms of John teller and Jax Teller their life ended the same way. "On the fringe, blood and bullets are the rule of law and if you're a man with convictions violence is inevitable.” You could relate this quote even with the movie The Godfather the quote from Sons of Anarchy
