In my opinion, this film was much harder to follow than the first one, having watched both back to back for the first time last week. Thanks for this summary.

Thank you so much for this concise recap...there were so many names of characters being tossed around in the first hour or so of this film that I missed some key points--specifically that Pentangelli's assassination was not ordered by Michael and how Michael connected the dots and figured out it was Fredo who ultimately betrayed him.

[@ZAgustin256]

So was fredo the one who was responsible for the attempted murder on Michael in the beginning of the movie ?

[@deepflux]

I watched part 2 first on some bad advice. It was very hard to follow and rather hollow without already having an interest in the characters. Having just watched part 1 and now this recap, it makes much makes sense! I wish I had seen them in the correct order.

[@debbieking5171]

I am confused 😕 so please explain 2 things: the reason Pentangeli commits suicide, and who killed the girl in Senator Gearys room and why? Please advise. Thanks 😊 in advance.

[@claireorourke3184]

2 brilliant questions 👏👏👏 I’d love to know the answers too.

[@claireorourke3184]

Oh I found the answer 2 one of the questions. It says it in this vid… “Tom pays a visit to the imprisoned Frank Pentengeli on a military base and suggests that he take his own life in the manner of unsuccessful ancient Roman conspirators who in return were promised that their families would be taken care of after their suicide”

[@johnlane5704]

I believe the girl was killed by the Corleone family to set up the senator to force him to cooperate with the family. He wouldn't want his extramarital affair to become public and lose the support of his constituents

[@claireorourke3184]

@@johnlane5704 cool 😎. Is this a fact or is it your interpretation. It’s cool either way. I’m just wondering. Also, could they not have just threatened to out him for his affair & maybe film him in some precarious situations etc rather than going to the extremes of killing the girl? 😂

[@johnlane5704]

This is my take on it. He certainly off as an arrogant , but still worried about his image, kind of guy. As to why the extreme measures of killing her, she may have fell out of favor with the family. It's hard to say when dealing with people from the mob. This family did place a horses head in bed with that movie producer in the first movie after all

[@roy8794]

Thing about this movie is, it is a long movie, and the characters names are hard to memorise and they kind of start a scene from ending till beginning it’s like the method where they begin a scene by how it ended and then tell u how it happened which doesn’t really compliment the film length imo.. it was really hard to follow, thank you for the video

[@hatefulgaming1800]

Had to watch this because the piracy site I watched this movie on didn’t have subtitles for the Robert De Niro scenes.

[@samlevitt9122]

I still don't fully understand this film....specifically when they try to kill Pantangeli in the bar

[@pootytang69]

I wasn't fully clear on what exactly was going on in that sequence of events either - AFAIK Michael tells Roth that he believes the traitor is Pentangelli and he's going to have him killed, which I guess is a lie - and then he tells Penta that he knows Roth is the true traitor, and that his plan is to stay close to him so he needs Penta to settle with the brothers in New York that are supported by Roth, rather than continuing to fued with them - Penta goes to meet them and then they have him killed whilst saying it's Michael??? Which is really bizarre if they're planning to kill him either way. So maybe it's the case that Michael did know it was Roth all along, and was basically arranging to set Penta up and have Roth's men kill him, in order to destroy any sense that Michael was onto Roth and plotting against him - OR - Michael had no idea it was Roth at this point, and he only said that to Penta to lull him into a false sense of security and go ahead with the meet where he was to be killed. If neither of those theories stand true, then it means that Roth went behind michael's back to have Penta killed, doing so on his behalf, hence having his men send Michael's regards. Either way this part of the film (and perhaps a few others) are kinda sloppy and hard to follow. Edit: I Just had a google and someone suggested that the assassination attempt on Pentangelli is supposed to fail, and Roth set it up to seem like Michael had orchestrated it, in order to turn Penta against Michael - this would seem to make the most sense considering how the rest of the film plays out - what still doesn't make much sense though is the Cop who interferes on the assassination - hard to say whether that was part of the plan and he was on Roth's payroll, or if he just happened to interrupt naturally, and they were counting on someone randomly interrupting (would be a really dumb plan if so.)

Where did you get the date of Vito's birthday? I thought he was born on Dec 7th, Pearl Harbor day.

[@axreding]

Are those flash backs to before part 1 happened ?

[@claireorourke3184]

Yes. They’re from when Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) was a child (the little boy who managed to run away when his mum got shot) and as he was growing up in New York (Robert De Nero).
