Better than mine and the lessons I learned forced me to take action and be independent as much as I can.

No one, and I literally mean no one, has ever seen any movie anywhere near the amount of times I watched the Godfather. I LOVE that movie. The house used in the movie, where Vito lived, is an actual house on Staten Island. My grandfather built that house. Being from Italy, my grandfather hated that movie, and how he hated they used a house he built for that movie. In an interview with Francis Ford Coppola, the reason they chose that house was because he felt it looked like the type of house an Italian family would want to live in. I remember laughing when I heard that comment, thinking my grandfather hated they used that house and the only reason they used it was because how he built it.

*"NEVER MEET, DEAL WITH OR TALK TO MOBSTERS"* .That was the rule Francis Ford Coppola (the greatest director ever. Apocalypse Now, Godfathers, Rumble Fish) and Godfather author and fellow screenwriter, Mario Puzo, specifically said they lived by. Puzo based the Godfather on his Italian mother and never met a mobster when he wrote it. Coppola and him turned down drinks, meals and meetings with everyone from Columbo to John Gotti. In fact John Gotti came to the set and Francis refused to meet him. They did not want their story tainted by interaction. The story was based solely from their mind and loose research. Brilliant film and book

A fascinating presentation of movie history, Michael. Although Joe Colombo did personally get involved in the making of The Godfather, in my opinion, he made it better. The movie does tend to glamorize the Life, but because the film took the point of view of The Family, that decision was a sound one. One other interesting fact about The Godfather that many people don't know was that author Mario Puzi did not personally know any people in the Life when he wrote the book and all of his material was drawn from secondary sources, such as published accounts, and so forth. In many ways, The Godfather is one case where the film was better than the book. Mario worked with Francis to improve the story, arc, action, and dialogue, so they had that opportunity to improve on the book. But I believe another reason the film was better than the book was that Mario, Francis, and several of the actors did get to meet and work with people from the Life, lending greater authenticity to the final film.

The movie was MUCH better than the book, primarily because the book spent a lot of useless time developing the character of Johnny Fontaine.

I was 2 yrs old in 1972. Watched it when I was older for the first time. I lost count of how many times I watched it over and over. Absolutely masterpiece.

The fact that this movie is still relevant as much as it is proves it’s the greatest film ever made.

I want to thank you for putting a prayer and a blessing in your videos Mr. Franzese. None of us are perfect and as far as I'm concerned, we all could honestly use it. Much love to you and if I don't see you in this life I pray to see you in the next.

I grew up watching this as a child, my dad was so hardcore. He was a US Marine- like Michael 🇺🇸. Oddly, my mother is the Sicilian-American one! All of these serious, well-dressed gentleman never made sense to me back then.. But Respect, Loyalty to one's family and Love for my family (no matter what) certainly hits home now more than ever 🙌 Coppola is a Cinematic Master. No one, no one...will ever be able to top this beautiful series. Living here in San Francisco this niw makes me want to head to Coppola's restaurant, Cafe Zoetrope in North Beach 🇮🇹. Thank you for your real-life insight, Michael. Ciao Ciao & God Bless.
