Same here...I just trump it up to Riley having narrow taste....if not bad taste in general. I will admit I didn't care for the Godfather growing up, saw bits and pieces of the major scenes, but as I got older my tastes changed as it does when you age with all things fleeting or not. Then saw it 5 years ago for real...alone and can totally see how this is considered a "perfect" movie. but that's just me.

@@vjmtz That the point, Riley has the opinion of a 10 year old. Not necessarily a bad thing because I think it highlights the opinions of many viewers we don't hear.

@@smoothcortex Exactly, esp. that last part, films now a days lose so much story telling elements and complexity due to a massive shift in simplifying things and adhering to strict external moralities that simply don't exist in real life but are applied by people onto creative art like films, books, tv. Hence the Disney-fied media world where good always wins, no questionable plots or character growth and conflicts. It's really sad to me how movies have drastically declined in giving perspectives and challenging or smart material to think about.

What Riley is describing he wants are Hays Code era Hollywood films. You can have mafia, but they need to go to jail or die. You can have adultery, but the adulterer has to die or lose everything. It wasn't about not showing bad people but they always had to lose. There are certainly great movies from that era, but it leaves out so many great stories if that needs to be what happens.

Like I said, I love There Will Be Blood, which is not the puritanical type of film you describe. The protagonist "succeeds", but because of the tone and the visible impacts of his actions on others, it's much more clear that what's happening is definitely not a good thing. On top of that, society hasn't had a weird fascination with oil barrons - but mafioso are "cool". Which I think sucks because they suck. You know

@@RILEYismynameYeah I'm not trying to invalidate your opinion on the Godfather or shoehorn your thoughts on every movie into this one discussion. I've just been watching a bunch of 40's and 50's films recently that were under the Hays Code and it was interesting that what you were describing was very much the underlying philosophy of that Code, and you can see it's impact on the films of that era. Many are still great, but it's interesting that they do become more predictable as you watch them. Also, line David sorta did, I'd argue that Michael's journey in the Godfather series overall is a tragic fall similar to There Will Be Blood. I think that's the case in Part I on its own too, but I can certainly understand not seeing Part I as that. KZbin comments aren't the most effective place to discuss that regardless

@@25zvillcb25 eh, YT comments are what they are. I think I just wanted to clarify that I don't think, in a Hays Code-like way, that filmmakers should be "restricted" from making films the way they want to I totally agree this is a tragic fall! My point is only that the movie doesn't make it seem very tragic, as the only people we see get actually hurt by Michael's actions are his enemies. And there's a couple worried glances from Kay. It's a good movie - it just falls emotionally flat for me.

Speaking for myself, another innocent Canadian, the disconnect isn't so much about understanding the motivations so much at them having an appeal. Breaking Bad didn't hook me, I got bored early on (gave it 2 full seasons) and I still have a hard time understanding why people like watching characters making bad decisions over and over again. It's the same for the Grand Theft Auto games, no appeal despite the production value. Peaky Blinders is beautifully shot, good acting, superb ambience of the era, ...can't get myself to care about the characters. I like most of Guy Ritchie's criminal movies though, I guess it's the humour and surreal feeling they have, I don't know.

I tried to see Riley's perspective here, but no matter how I come at it, it just sounds like the "Mom's Against Videogames" arguments from the 90's. Maybe I'm overly optimistic. I can recognize that there are some pretty gullible, impressionable folks out there (read: stupid) that might see this movie and think "oh... The life of the mafioso is so glam and amazing!", but I don't think that was ever the intent of the author and the director. If anything, it's this zany sort of comedic tragedy of this group of people that attempt this facade of success, business, and normality while regularly murdering people, laundering money, trafficking drugs, all while operating under some kind of "code". There are a lot of human layers to The Godfather and other great movies, but not to Riley. If it breaks with his own compass, even on a superficial level it seems, he's not having any of it. I certainly can respect that state of being, but I really think that you miss a lot that way, and only Sith deal in absolutes, Riley!

I love The Godfather (and Part 2) - but the atmospheric and epic nature of it means pacing is a fair criticism IMO given how much has evolved in films over 50 years. In many ways, the fact that it still stands up after so long is testament to just how well acted, and produced the film is. I read recently that the average shot length of major movies has more than halved in the last few decades - on this alone, even action films from these eras have far slower pacing. Its probably partly due to audience attention spans, but a lot of responsibility has to lie with the practicality of digital editing and the styles it enables (ie splicing film would be labour intensive and destructive, digital footage is far easier to work with). Add in the commonality of moving shots (again a technology that has gradually improved), it all contributes to a quicker paced feeling film even if the story stays largely the same.

There's a similar thing with British gangster films, they tend to glamourize some very dodgy characters who do horrible things (which you often see as ratings aren't as strict). The difference is that often the main character is roped into working for gangs, usually due to gambling debt or something a relation has done. I know people who refuse to watch them, for similar reasons to Riley. Would be interesting to get their take on something like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (probably the best known one).

Great review! Would love to see you guys review Part 2 and see what Riley’s updated thoughts are. It took me a number of watches over a decade to really come to appreciate Part 2 while Part 1 was an instant favorite. Now I think Part 2 is possibly the ultimate encapsulation of the American dream and the American myth. Part 1 is lively, shows Michael’s competence, depicts that exhilarating gathering of power. Then Part 2 shows the results of those efforts-paranoia, mundane politics, and the loss of anyone you ever held dear. That last dolly in on Michael… incredible.

Carlo was raised into a prominent role in the family by Michael because he's the most hated and expendable, a pawn raised to be used in higher risk and dangerous roles and put him to do heavy work where he's a high target and not anyone else in the family.

I'm not sure I understand Riley's perspective. Are we as the audience not supposed to enjoy characters such as Heath Ledger's Joker, Anton Chigurh or Hans Landa simply because they're evil? Even if I wouldn't commit their crimes myself I can still watch and say "this is amazing". The raw enjoyment I would get from watching them is still there regardless of where my morality lies. It's the same with the Godfather with me only that the entire movie has nothing but villains in it. Riley's point is so out of left field and it reminds me of his main critique of Kill Bill being "I don't like Tarantino the person."

I see it as a more real and accurate representation of reality which is why I enjoy it. Also I feel like Riley forgets that the people you grow up with are a big part of your perception of the world. Even if you know it's bad, it doesn't seem as bad if everyone else in your family does it and within your community(since no internet or much TV) it's an ok thing to do.

I don't want the bad guys to lose; I want the movie to show that they're the bad guys. Thanos wins in Infinity War; Chigurh walks away in No Country For Old Men; these are great movies.

If you went out of your way to tell a fictional story, there better be a coherent moral takeaway or why the hell are we here

My father's side of the family are all second and third generation Italian immigrants from Staten Island and NY. They adore the Godfather, but in the way that Riley finds distasteful, as a glorification of the Mafia. You have to remember that Italians were discriminated against when they first came to the United States, and sometimes even are today, certainly stereotyped. So, when Italian immigrants found themselves in a new country where they were marginalized, they sometimes would rather deal with the devil they knew and tolerate, even venerate organized crime. It represented a sense of control and family among Italians. I've heard many members of my family talk about how it was better when the Mafia was in charge and the cops stayed out of the way. There was also a lot of racism towards black people and lamenting of them "taking over" certain areas. Same with Jewish people, and even Irish people, generally everyone who wasn't Italian. All sort of romantic fantasies of a past where they were in control and everything was better. I can see this movie both with the understanding of that culture but also as not ever having drunk the Kool-Aid. The movie is pretty much a masterpiece, in my opinion. Not only does it succeed in most of the ways a movie can, technically, acting, writing, cinematography, thematically, etc., but it also strikes a chord with people familiar with that world and that culture. It's good to the majority of audiences because it is so technically well done, but it's even more impact full for the people it's made to romanticize. But does it really glorify the characters? I might say it sort of shows you the mask the glorification of the Mafia wears while also pulling the mask back and showing you the horror of what their ways ultimately lead to in an incredibly artful execution. It's a beautiful tragedy.

I get where you're coming from Riley, but you must admit the cognitive dissonance is interesting, no? Like you I'm not a fan of these types of films generally, but for me, a huge part - maybe all - of what makes this particular set of mafia characters interesting is how they seem so effortlessly to compartmentalise these two wildly different worlds, being murderous scumbags one moment then loving family types the next. The fact that psychologically they don't find anything contradictory there is what makes them watchable. [EDIT: I suspect Coppola intends us to see them that way.]

I love Riley but I can’t stand Riley’s opinion how can you not feel anything for this movie. There are plenty of good characters if you humanize the characters sure the mafia is not good but you can’t come with the idea that the mafia is bad so all the characters are bad. I also don’t think Michael is glorified in the end of The Godfather. Michael is supposed to be viewed as the most evil character in the end of the movie especially far worse than Vito since he doesn’t stick to the old ways of doing this. But then again I watched the other two godfather movies and they really show his decent to evil more and you don’t like him as a person.
@liamscorgie8859 Жыл бұрын
I agree it’s shocking how narrow his view is on the characters… I have seen The Godfather countless times and never felt they were glorifying the Mafia. In fact Coppola talked about how he didn’t want to glorify it at all. This film shows that good people can do bad things if driven to desperation or extremes and bad people can do good. It’s not so black and white. When he stated early in the video how he decided Vito was bad so he didn’t want to get to know his story he closed himself off from them. I also feel that one of the morals of the story is that every choice we make can and likely will have potentially grave consequences. It shows what choosing this kind of life can do to loved ones around one’s self. Lastly, there’s actually a number of reformed Mob members some very prominent who have really turned their lives around like Michael Franzese. He actually has a KZbin channel and he’s a super nice guy with a lot to share and teach. So this objectively shows that Riley saying all Mob guys are bad is completely wrong. Every time I watch this film I’m at the edge of my seat. A 7/10 rating is laughably false to the point it beggars belief. I’ve also seen there will be blood which he claimed is great and it doesn’t hold a candle to The Godfather. But, at the end of the day to each their own
