The Godfather Part II (1974) | *First Time Watching* | Movie Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@sandrobollen296]

After Fredo told to Michael that he never met Ola before, Fredo later carelessly tells Geary that he had been to a nightclub with Ola. Michael overhears the conversation and realizes that Fredo betrayed him to Roth. In the beginning of the movie Fredo receives also a phone call of Ola. It took myself a second and a third time watching to discover all the plots :D Grtz.

[@acidz0037]

Fredo was a fool, considered weak by his father, and consequently proved him right many times. He slipped up in the sex club, foolishly dropping Johnny Olas’ name, Roths name, and that sealed his fate.

[@phillyphan1225]

Fredo was considered an idiot by everybody..I know in my family (mostly Italian) the joke is you are being a Fredo or don’t be a Fredo! We also quote “I’m not dumb, I’m smart!”

@@RobertJohnson-hq6jqYeah, even in the movies he kinda gives off that energy, lol

[@chrisharris5497]

Fredo never lived to tell the tale, he was shot in the head on the boat, that's why Michael called for Anthony and said he wanted to take him to Reno so that he wasn't on the boat and Fredo could be dealt with.

[@TheTechSupportGuy]

It’s like they’re watching a completely different movie than us.

[@alonenjersey]

I remember a scene in God Father 3 where Connie mentions to someone about Fredo dying due to drowning.

[@Nichole-1989]

Vito Corleone is the original Godfather. Michael Corleone is his youngest son. Santino Corleone was his oldest son who was killed by the Barzini family in the first movie. Fredo Corleone is the middle brother who Michael has killed in the end. Connie Corleone is Vito's youngest child and only daughter. And Carmella Corleone is Vito's wife. The two men who were Vito's partners and friends were Clemenza and Tessio. Tessio betrayed Michael after Vito died in the first film.

[@lindas1st]

you forgot about Tom Hagen who was Sonny's childhood friend who Vito took in and became like another son who grew up and became the family Consigliere.

[@barnes_and_noobs]

The juxtaposition of Vito’s rise and Michael’s fall is brilliant. Then in the end showing Michael being alone no matter what he does, when he was just trying to do what he thought was right. Whether it was in his early life of rebellion against the family business or when he finally went all in to protect his father and later on his own family. Heartbreaking.

[@StanleyJohnson-tf5el]

I am glad that a bunch of us are offering some clarification points. The one I will offer is about “Antonio“. Antonio was the name of Vito Corleone‘s father. The full name of Micheal’s son is Antonio Vito Corleone, after his paternal grandfather, and great grandfather.

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

When young Vito came back for Don Ciccio, one of these close friends was Tomassino. Tomassino, much older obviously, helped Michael in Italy after he killed the police officer and Sollozo. If you remember, Tomassino walked always with a cane due to a limp. That limp was produced because of the shot on the knee when he was young, in that moment when Vito murdered Ciccio.

[@ltrane81]

[@Blessdandhilyfavord]

That kiss Michael gives Fredo is called the kiss of death. After Michael overheard Fredo saying Johnny brought him to the sex show (b4 he denied ever meeting the man), Mike knew at that moment it was Fredo who betrayed him.

[@JB-Deadskins]

At the sex show, Fredo said Johnny Ola had brought him there. When they were introduced earlier, he said he had never met Johnny before. Michael hears everything, and knows it was Fredo who betrayed him. Y'all saw Michael's face and were like "What just happened?" Vito was the little boy, he came back and killed Don Chiccio, for killing his Father, his brother, and mother in the opening scene. Also, Michael got his son, Anthony off the boat because he didn't want him to witness Fredo's execution. Just like at the end of the first movie, Michael takes care of all the family business.

[@UWalvern0810]

But his son found out anyway.

[@JB-Deadskins]

@@UWalvern0810 yeah, but we don't find that out yet (spoiler alert), and Michael didn't anticipate that Anthony would see it from his bedroom window.

[@KingBluetooth66]

The final scene is so powerful Fredo was the only one who congratulated Michael for joining the army and then Michael is the only one who doesn't leave the table to surprise his father. And the final scene where micheal is older just sitting alone thinking about fredo

[@dawb86]

With all the murder done on behalf of the "family," having Fredo taken out was when Michael officially sold his soul...

[@Sarah_Gravydog316]

& it's a movie about family & everything, & Michael is all alone & Michael was making his own plans for his future by joining the armed forces, but he still ended up being the new Godfather

[@oscarluna4268]

lol to add to the confusion: the party at the beginning was Michael's son's first communion. His name is Antonio Vito Corleone. Named after his Great Grandfather & Grandfather. 😵‍💫

[@rudyardmagpie]

If you remember Fredo was woke up by a call from Johnny Ola. When Mike asked Fredo if he knew Johnny Ola, he answered no. In Cuba while watching a show, Mike overheard Fredo mentioned that He watched that show with Johnny OLa.

[@gazoontight]

You need to watch the movie again a couple more times. Pay attention to all of the details. A lot of your questions are answered in the movie if you pay close attention. This film is a comparison of Vito and Michael. Vito starts with nothing and when he dies he has a business and a family. Michael starts with everything and loses it all. Vito always treats people with respect whereas Michael does not. Part 3 is not as good as the first two but it is still worth a look. It removes all the romance and fantasy from the family story and exposes the corrupt truth.

[@phillyphan1225]

lol, no reactors watch movies over to figure them out! It’s frustrating to watch sometimes.

[@highstimulation2497]

we don't know what they do that they do not show us. they very well might watch them and do it in their own spare time. don't assume that.

[@Frightspear]

Godfather 2 is considered the best sequel ever made (both a sequel and a prequel)! Fun fact : the little baby being baptized as Connie and Carlo’s son is actually a little girl, none other than Sofia Coppola, daughter of the director, Francis Ford Coppola. She went on to portray Michael and Kay’s daughter in Godfather III, and went on to be a very talented and respected director in her own right with a string of hits, The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, Lost In Translation, Somewhere, and The Beguiled. Also, Talia Shire, who played Connie, is Francis Ford Coppola's sister. While he wasn't involved in any of the Godfather movies, the actor Nicolas Cage (real name Nicolas Coppola) is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola and Talia Shire.

The scene when Signor Roberto tries to get in Vito's office was rigged deliberately, so that a nail was stuck in the door lock. Francis Ford Coppola wanted the actor playing Signor Roberto to improvise the scene, which really works.

[@NeptuneLady1957]

I think you should have rewatched The Godfather again before reacting to this one. Also, Michael knew Pentangeli had nothing to do with the hit. He suspected Roth and it was cemented when Fredo lied about knowing Johnny Ola. Then Fred told Mike himself that it was Roth! Roth set up Pentangeli to make him think Mike wanted Pentangeli dead (remember when the guy tried to kill Pentangeli and said something like greetings from Michael Corleone. That is why Pentangeli was going to testify against Michael..he believed Michael had betrayed him! Michael would never have someone announce his name like that! Talia Shire was in both films. Interesting you did not notice or mention powerhouse actor Robert Duval who played Tom Hagen!

[@tamiwatchesstuff]

Yes, this is all true. Michael was trying to weed out who was lying or complicit in the shootout at his compound with his series of interrogations of these notable people of interest.

[@cvonbarron]

HI, Asia and BJ, to answer Asia's question about how Michael found out it was Fredo who betrayed him if you remember, initially Fredo told Mike that he and Johnny Ola had never met, and when he shook Ola's hand he feigned ignorance. Later, while drunk, Fredo inadvertently admitted that he had in fact met Johnny Ola which told MIchael that he was the traitor. You remember the reaction of Michael when he hears it. Pacino's acting in this sequence is masterful and the way he tells Fredo that, " I know it you Fredo!. You broke my heart!" Great sequence.

[@thefinerthingsinlife4557]

Asia and BJ...Michael discovered Fredo's betrayal at the club with "Superman". Michael asked Fredo previously if he had met Johnny Ola before. Fredo said, no. At the club, Michael over hears Fredo telling the Senator that Johnny Ola took him here before. Oops...If the hit on Michael succeeds, Fredo becomes Don. Michael doesn' t play when betrayed...by anyone.

Johnny Ola (Uncle Junior) met with Michael earlier in the movie, later when Fredo’s phone rings in the middle of the night, it’s Johnny Ola, and Fredo says “You guys lied to me.” In Cuba, Michael mentions Johnny Ola and Fredo says he never met him. Later Michael introduces them and Johnny says “We never met” but when they’re at the sex show, the Senator asks Fredo how he learned of that place and he says “Johnny Ola told me about this place, he brought me here. Old man Roth wouldn’t be caught dead but Johnny knows these places like the back of his hand.” Michael heard him say that and realized that it was Fredo that was the traitor in his family, he gave himself away.

Wow… I have to admit to being floored you didn’t realize that Michael had Fredo killed in the boat at the end. Fredo was praying in the boat, then they cut to Michael watching from the boathouse, and a gunshot rang out. After Michael confronted Fredo with Fredo’s betrayal, he told Al Neri that he didn’t want Fredo killed until his mother’s death. Once his mom died and Michael hugged Fredo, he gave Neri a nod that it was now time to execute Fredo. The scene at the end where you saw Fredo and said he had “lived to tell the tale,” was a flashback to his father’s birthday party. I mean, there were several characters in that scene who were already dead by the end of the first movie! Perhaps it had been too long since the first one, and that impacted your attention and engagement with the second one. 😢😮

[@Thewingkongexchange]

Not just one of the best sequels of all time but one of the BEST films of all time, period. IMO better than the original - expands on the history, perfectly showing the contrast of Vito building the family up with unity and trust, while Michael alienates every single member of it in order to protect it. Honestly, Pacino is flawless is in this film - he's like the empty shell of a human by the end of this.

[@volcghost]

Pretty insane because it's better than the first part. I mean.. sometimes it feels like i watch a documentary (especially first part with Anthonys communion party).

The movie shows him as a hard man.. but in tje book he literally throws his own baby into a furnace.

When Michael gets married to Apollonia that same man attends the wedding ridding around in a wheelchair, the reason he is in a wheelchair is because he got shot in the legg with a shotgun 37:21 thats the guy who later on is helping michael in Italy its his fathers old friend that was shot when Vito went back to get revenge for the death of his father, mother and brother.

Personally, I've had to stop watching other reaction channels I really liked because they do the blur/unblur thing. Would you consider using another technique to stay on the right side of copyright? Not a demand, just a sincere request. Thanks for considering it.

Godfather 2 is basically a prequel & sequel in one feature film.

Y'all weren't on your game on this one. You miss details when you got fistfuls of 🍿.

Not to mention BJ glances down at his phone once in a while . . .

[@leoda_lion4107]

Mike knew it was Fredo because Fredo at first said he never met Johnny Ola, and then when they were in Cuba on New years, Fredo let it slip out that Johnny Ola took him to the place. So at that point, you see Mike look away. Because he knew....

[@poliveri0722]

@ 42:02 ... WHAT! Fredo was going to do something to Anthony ... What the F*** were yoy thinking???!!!

[@donnyouttheway4091]

The dudes at the club are the ones who called Fredo on the phone when they tried to get Michael. Fredo said he didn’t know them. But he didn’t know Michael was standing right behind him when he was talkin about the dude he said he didn’t know.

[@Saranda4787]

He knew. He was just drunk and didn't realise he was telling on himself.

[@cuauhtemoc1973]

When fredo arrived in Cuba 🇨🇺 Micheal asked fredo do you know Johnny ola , or Hyman Roth he said no never met them , then later on when they went to the club in Cuba fredo was drunk the senator asked fredo where did you find this place fredo was drunk and said Johnny ola and Hyman Roth told me about this place son he did know them and lied to Micheal that he didn’t

[@MrRondonmon]

Michael knew it was Fredo because he said he didn't know Johnny Ola, but then let it slip that Jonny Ola was the one who showed him all of the party places in Havana. And Frdeo was killed at the very end. Its meant to show how a man who wanted nothing to do with his dads dirty business, now had a life filled with fear and hate.

Robert De Niro character of Vito showed where his predessor threatened the community with extortion so De Niro took him out and became the Don that the community respected but still feared

[@flibber123]

Michael knew it was Fredo because Fredo denied knowing Roth or Johnny Ola. But in Cuba, in the club, Fredo said he found out about the club because Johnny took him there. That's how truly stupid Fredo was. In the first Godfather movie, Fredo was his dad's personal assistant and bodyguard. When his dad was being shot, Fredo dropped his gun. Fredo was completely useless and no one would ever take him seriously. That makes is anger at Michael more pathetic in my opinion. There was no way he could ever lead the family. Michael was an outsider. He got pulled in because he was the only one who could get close enough to Sollozzo and the police captain to kill them. He did that to save his dad. When Sonny was killed, Michael had to step in to the family business because there was no one left. Vito wasn't going to put Fredo in control, so it had to be Michael.

Fredo says he doesn't know Johnny Ola (Sopranos Uncle Junior) who is part of Hyman Roth's crew... then later on Fredo screws up and says that Johnny O took him all over... Michael realizes that Fredo lied about Johnny O and he was betrayed...

[@pl1763]

Never in the many times I’ve watched this movie did I realize Johnny Ola was Jr from the Sopranos. Thank you Asia! Uh oh the Tony Montana coming out 😂

[@philburton2223]

Really 🤔 I 💕 Asia & BJ but watching their Game of Thrones & other reactions Asia & BJ can miss a lot. I was proud Asia could point out uncle Junior 😊

[@rxtsec1]

De Niro and Brando were the first actors to win a academy award for the same part. It happened again with Joaquin Phoenix & Heath Ledger for Joker

[@Major42]

Maybe the best movie ever.

[@TimParker-Chambers]

39:24 Tom is Mike's brother: Don Vito informally adopted him when he was a boy, as Tom was an orphan and one of Sonny's friends 👍👍👍👍

[@roymerritt348]

Did you catch that? He claims not to know Roth, then talks about going with Roth to Havana.

[@CrystalClearskies-cb9ji]

The little boy that came to America was Vito, he grew up to be the Godfather in the first movie, played by Marlon Brando. Michael is his son
