51:26 - no one ever makes the connection, but in the first film, Don Tommasino was the guy in the wheelchair who helped Michael hide in Sicily.

The guy who gets a shotty in the leg when Vito goes back to get his revenge was the boss with the cane who Mike stayed with while he was hiding out in the first movie, as well.

[@jason-basin]

Nah, Sonny is the oldest child, Fredo is second. Michael is the youngest son. Fun fact, the ending scene was supposed to feature the entire original cast, including Marlon Brando as Vito, however, on the day of the shoot when they got all the actors together, Brando was unable to make it, so they shot the scene without him. It's a super important scene though, it shows that Fredo was the only one that gave Michael props for his decision to join the military. This is basically the story of how Michael lost his humanity. Godfather 3 is definitely considered far below the level of the first two movies, it was actually considered a failure when it was released. It attempts to deal with Michaels conscience after losing his family and his soul in this movie. Still worth watching though. PS DeNiro for sure grew up speaking both English and Italian! Watch Mean Streets! Great show y'all got here!

The scenes where Hymen Roth is killed is reminiscent of the time after JFK’s assassination when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby and then Ruby was killed.

The best of thr trilogy

[@maniac50ae14]

When Michael kisses Fredo and says he broke his heart, he gives him what is called the "kiss of death".

[@izzonj]

Sonny's full name is Santino and you can get his parents calling him that as the first born. In GFI, he's parents always call him Santino. In later scenes when Santino is a bit older, he has curly hair, like the grown up Santino. In a scene when Vito takes the kids to Sicily, Santino is wearing a sailor suit and he's jumping around making boxing motions... he's always been prone to fighting. In the last flashback scene where Michael tells him he's joined the marines and Tom has to hold back Sonny from hitting Michael, you can hear his kids in the background saying, "Mommy, Daddy's fighting again. " which is a great little detail!

[@flarrfan]

My favorite part of the last flashback is when the only one to congratulate Michael on enlisting is Fredo. There is another movie with Pacino and John Cazale that is not to be missed. It's called Dog Day Afternoon, and it's almost as good as the Godfathers...based on a true story about a bank robbery gone very wrong.

[@izzonj]

@@flarrfan I am very familiar with Dog Day Afternoon. You probably are aware that Al Pacino has said that he learned more about acting from John Cazale than any other person in the world. I heard him tell a story about working with him - maybe it was Dog Day, maybe it was on stage, I'm not sure - when Cazale had a disagreement with the director about how he should play his character. The director said something like, "I appreciate your point of view but this is the way I want it." Cazale said, okay, and committed to playing it like the director wanted and never complained about it. He was a total professional.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Yep! Sonny was a hot head. Michael was always going to be the Don because Sonny was going to get killed just like they said because he would just rush in balls out with no plan. Fredo was a goofball and pussy and Michael was the smart calculating one like Vito

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Mike gives Tom the Don position when he leaves for Cuba because he was the only one besides Luca Brasi who was always 100% loyal to Don Vito and because Tom always did what was asked not him even when he didn't personally agree with it or felt betrayed by the family. Tom also turned down job offers from outside the family when even fat ass Clemenza and Tessio wanted to branch off and start their own families after the deal with Sollozzo fell through. That's why Michael trusted him more than anyone else and kept him away from certain parts of the business. Tom wasn't muscle, just smart and good with law and business

[@flarrfan]

@@neilpatrickhairless From what I've read, Godfather 3 was planned to emphasize Tom's role even more but Duvall turned it down and they had to rewrite late, in addition to Winona Ryder pulling out of the Mary role as filming was about to start...Unfortunate casting decision to replace her, but IMO that was the only real problem with part 3. Like 2 the plot threads can be confusing at first, but they all come together eventually, not unlike 2.

My family has a story from the early 20th century, that the Italian side got all their luggage stolen at the port by Irish dock workers.

That thing about Michael bringing up Tom’s offer to go to Vegas, you have to think about what the entire conversation is really about. They’re talking about killing Roth, but what they are really talking about is killing Fredo, who is just outside. So when Tom asks do you have to kill everyone? And Michael says just my enemies, you see his reaction. When Michael asks whether hes going to come along for these things, etc, he’s seeing if it’s too much for Tom.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Tom stays loyal through the whole thing. Michael knows he can really trust him because Tom has turned down offers from outside and even Clemenza and Tessio were looking to branch off, with Tessio specifically looking to cash in on the deal Vito and Michael wouldn't take. Tom is really the only person besides Luca Brasi who never went outside of what he was told to do on family business... Michael himself couldn't even claim that

Fun fact: the guy who got his legs blown up while helping Vito escape after killing Don Cheach in Sicily was the same guy who was helping Michael when he was there hiding after killing Sollotzo in Brooklyn. 😎 The novel starts with this entire backstory. Francis couldn’t use it in GF1 were it belonged, so he worked it into the new story he wrote. Mario Puzo didn’t like the idea of Fredo being killed on Michael’s orders because he felt the audience would hate Michael. Puzo told Francis they only way he’d go along with it is if it was done after the mother died, and Francis reluctantly agreed because he had no intention of killing off the mother.😎

Guys, the sad part about this story is that it was supposed to be about Vito, Clemenza and Tessio’s back story. The actor who plays Clemenza demanded that he have full control over his dialog, so Francis fired him, wrote him off as dead, and then introduced another character named Frank Pantangelis. The story would have been turned up to 11 and made more sense if Peter Clemenza had been in it.😎

Brando refused to be in the sequel because of political/Hollywood/industry views at the time or something, I believe.

Genco is actually Vito's first partner and is like a brother to him but they aren't involved with criminal business initially until after Vito hooks up with Clemenza and Tessio. Genco and Vito own an olive oil company together and that's the "legit" business that is a front for the other business

[@lethalchocobo1886]

Sonny was Vito's oldest son and Michael the youngest. After Sonny's death, Fredo should've been the next in line, in theory. The last scene is to remind aynone who still didn't get it that Michael always was a loner with his own plans. He was in the Marines, which means that he fought in the Pacific where the war against Japan was infinitely more brutal than in Europe. The war completely changed him. He was now a decentivised, unforgiving, walking PTSD with no remorse whatsoever. He's a soldier at the core, never a family man like his father. And a monster.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Indeed, people usually don't pick up on that. Michael has somewhat of a heart and is trying to keep straight and live normally after the war though until the hit on Vito. After that, his whole demeanor changes and his military background as a killer focused only on taking out enemies resurfaces. Notice how Michael also doesn't really respond to or seem necessarily interested in the lifestyle that the others do even when he is Don. He just becomes a guy with a singular focus like you have to be in war

Clemenza called him “Johnny Lips” but Vito changed Hyman’s last name from Suchowsky to Roth. Later, during the end of prohibition, Roth formed the hit team “Murder Inc” as an enforcement arm for the Commission (aka The Five Families). The Five Families territory: NY, NJ, AC, Philly, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Tampa, Miami, LA, San Francisco, KC, Vegas, Reno, Buffalo, Havana. Also, when the Commission meets in Havana, the cake they bring out is in the shape of Cuba and the Commission cut it up into pieces. Roth asked for a “small piece”. Tryin to be low key.

[@atb2674]

Vito tells Michael in part 1 “there just wasn’t enough time” in regard to keeping Mike uninvolved and turning the family business legit. Looking back after watching pt 2 I think underneath those reasons Vito really foresaw if HE couldn’t get it done in his lifetime it was less likely to happen the RIGHT way. Under his leadership the family business moved with a certain ‘honor code’, he maintained his family and community, and he was the wind that told the ship which direction to sail. After him Mike’s motive was maintaining and growing power, each family member had their own interpretation of Vito’s ideals, differing ideas of how to handle business. I believe if Vito was able to legitimize the Corleone business in his lifetime, even if Michael still entered the business, many things would’ve been different.

[@Natedawgg84]

I actually enjoyed The Godfather Part 2 more than the first one. Mostly because of the flashback scenes about the rise of a young Vito Corleone played excellently by Robert De Niro. He earned an Oscar for his performance. I also enjoyed how Micheal met his match with his enemy Hymn Roth. They basically were playing chess against each other trying to outmaneuver the other. But at the end Micheal was smarter than Roth. I think that Micheal should have let Fredo live but I understand why he took him out at the same time. Fredo was a liability, but he was still his brother at the end! Micheal knew that Kay wasn't about that life, yet he married her anyway. So he should have known the marriage wasn't gonna last. Plus Kay is not Italian. I also liked how they showed at the end how Micheal used to be his own man before he became a part of the family business. Micheal plans for his own future died when his father got shot in the first Godfather. That is the real tragedy of Micheal. The Godfather Part 1 is a Masterpiece but The Godfather Part 2 is the Greatest sequel of all time. The Godfather Part 3 is the weakest out of the 3 movies, but it does have its moments. Connie is my favorite character in Godfather Part 3 you'll see why. 😉 She's different in that movie lol! Great reaction yall! 👏🏾

I always found Roth's loyalty to Moe touching.

Based on bugsy Siegel and Meyer lansky

Sonny was the oldest, then Fredo, then Michael, and Connie was the youngest.

@46:16 That is his brother from Italy who is apart of the Italian Mafia. The Italian mafia was and is so much more strict about rats . He knew seeing his brother that either way he was dead if he talked not only by Michael, but he would be wanted by his own family back in Italy for testifying. So it was both shame and a fear moment for him. Which was why his brother was giving him that stare and thus why he recanted his testimony

[@atb2674]

Not only that, it would’ve disgraced His brother’s crime family back in Sicily in the eyes of all other crime families. A Don’s brother, who was Capo himself, ratting to a Congressional board not just about his business but how Italian mafias operate in general, aka La Cosa Nostra was putting a spotlight on all organized crime. So essentially by testifying, he would’ve taken down the Corleone Family, but he would’ve shamed and ended the Pentangeli family too. He was ratting on all mafiosi in reality and seeing his brother reminded him of that. That’s why he also took his own life, so as to save his brother’s street credit. Like u said he was dead even if he talked or not. Tom essentially visited him in prison to make sure Frankie knew what was up: one of us whacks u and ur family’s honor is trash, u do it yourself and ur family’s honor will be fine and ur kin taken care of. Almost like committing seppuku in feudal Japan to atone for something and maintain ur family’s social standing.

Banger after banger

[@louielouie22]

Cich a port. 😂 You said it perfect 😂 yea it's definitely not proper Italian and most people in Italy can't understand Sicilian. Sonny was the oldest. Part 3 sucked compared to 1&2

[@rosamontenegro4875]

Al Pacino and John Cazale(Fredo) were close friends until John's death. Starred together in Dog Day Afternoon...more exceptional acting by both...

[@josephesposito8876]

Johnny ola actor played junior soprano!

[@bourbonderben5362]

The switch to sopranos junior got me cracking up

[@user-ww8fb6oy8p]

De Niro is the one in the cast who went to Sicily and studied the language, so maybe he sounds weird because his accent is the least bad

[@salvatoresultana4058]

Probably the greatest double feature of all time

[@BobbyNotBrown]

Can you boys react to Black Mass?? One of Johnny Drop’s best roles imo

[@EliBrigante]

Heavily underrated movie

[@bigdaddyeb56]

Sonny was the Eldest, Then Fredo, Michael and Carla

[@barryscott8041]

[@WiseGuy5674]

Google literally dropped an ad right before the hit on Mike and Kay. 🤮😎

[@tmayofour]

I hated that!

[@athens_1psvr31]

The “Orange” theme is just a coincidence and was really just a way to add some color to the scenes. DeNiro was buying oranges wile getting respect around the neighborhood in the flashback after Michael was talking to his Mom about losing family. No one picks up or calls that out, but notice the drama scenes because of the internet.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Oranges signify mortal danger in these movies for sure. They show up concurrently with death scenes. Might not have been intentional originally but it's definitely used in this way through the movies.

[@thecodetalker5742]

Michael was betrayed by those he was trying to protect.

[@Shelbyj13]

Another good one.

[@7.3.2.]

50:22 home brother is CRAZY😂😂😭😭😭😭

[@bg7606]

Omg. It IS Junior. I've seen this movie 50 times and never realize that
