Yeah, in this era she lost a valuable asset by losing her physical beauty.

​@@83gemmBeauty is a valuable asset in every era.

Oh damnnnn. They really wanted to ruin everything that was good about this huh? 😅

"I like it, Francis your vision is wonderful, but we just want to change...everything. Just change everything and it'll fit right in."

@@TylerAlexander I JUST COMMENTED THAT YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT "THE OFFER" ON PARAMOUNT!! TELLS THE WHOLE STORY!!

@@TylerAlexander STUDIO HEADS ARE NOT ARTISTS, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE!! THANK GOD COPPELLA AND PRODUCER AL RUDDY HELD THEIR GROUND!! AND GOT HELP FROM "SPECIAL" PEOPLE (WINK,WINK)😁😁😎

Don't forget about the Colombo family.

I love that. The first one I mean haha. I had no idea, he totally pulled it off. I love that he left it in though.

@@TylerAlexander Actually, I'm surprised there's not more. There's usually about 50 to 75 comments about scenes and characters on these sites. Not to mention quotes and catchphrases. But give it time. That stuff will eventually appear. Looking forward to your future reactions.

@@TylerAlexander ALSO, LENNY MONTANA WAS ACTUALLY A SOLDIER IN COLUMBO FAMILY!! REAL LIFE GANGSTER!!!

Ooohh yeah you're totally right. Honestly the more distance I got from the film the more arbitrary I felt that criticism was. I think that was an example of my brain following the tracks of modern film making, because I think capitalising on conflict that way is a modern trope in a lot of ways. I prefer the way the film went with it in hindsight. But you're right, there was only one way it COULD have gone about it.

@@TylerAlexander ALSO, PACINO'S SCENE AT LOUIE'S WAS FILMED AT THE VERY BEGINNING AND WAS BASICALLY PACINO'S AUDITIONING TO PARAMOUNT EXEC'S FOR THE PART!! THE WAY MICHAEL'S EYES ARE DARTING AROUND AND YOU CAN SEE HOW NERVOUS AND PUMPED WITH ADRENALIN HE WAS...BRILLIANTLY DONE BY PACINO!!!! ONE MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SCENES OF THE FILM!!!

There's a great scene in part 3 where Michael talks about his relationship with sonny if you ever get to it. That will explain why Micheal would never try to betray him

Yeah watching this some of his comments made me think “oh he’s gonna love pt2”

Solozzo was mostly saying that he greatly respects Michael's father but that the Don was too old fashioned in his thinking.

I know but what I was saying was that the actual structure of the movie was close to that of a book, which isn't always the case with movie adaptations.

@@TylerAlexander I know what you were saying, but to say that a movie based on a best-selling book which follows the book very closely is like a book is just a weird, perhaps unnecessary, observation. It distracted me, rather than enhancing my experience.

Yeah the book does a better job of showing how Apollonia was a better match for Michael. I mean in the movie she might have said 3 words at the most, in the book the entire sequence of Michael in Sicily is portrayed as almost dreamlike, almost too good to be true. And then of course when she dies it shatters that dream for him. The coldness of his heart really starts to take over after she dies, and the coldness continues to grow through the trilogy

Appolonia dying and then him marrying kay was terrible for business and the future. Appolonia would have pumped out the kids and not be a source of stress or guilt the way Kay was. Honestly, after the car bomb, Michael should have just grabbed up the next cute farm girl from sicily and brought her home to america to cook and crank out sons for him.

😂👀

Thanks for the recommendation!

You are correct. This is exactly why we don't see subtitles because we are put in Michael's position/disadvantage in not fully speaking Sicilian Italian.

Thank you! Very much looking forward to Part II.

@@TylerAlexander If you do any reading amongst the cognoscenti in the Godfather fan base, you will quickly discover that Part III is generally thought to be noticeably inferior to the first two. I don't entirely agree with this popular wisdom; the film, for me, gets better every time I see it, and there is a particular development with Connie that I found to be one of the best, and easily one of the most disturbing, in the entire series. No further spoilers, but I am pretty confident you will see where I am going with this comment when you watch Part III.

Exposition and Back Story without being reduced to voice-over, omnicient narration. Pick up names, personal characteristics, ethnic practices (love of family, honor). The film is (films are) great because of the fantastic original material (the novel).

Thanks for the recommendations!

Haha, thank you for the kind words! Not the first time I've had that comparison 😂 always a compliment, I love Andrew.

@@TylerAlexander oh really, So i was right when i saw the resemblance... That's nice. 😄 BTW, Please react to the next two parts of the trilogy if you can, the second one is even better. Cheers ✌️

Thank you, Terry! And thank you for the recommendations 😁

It's a whole chapter actually & everything in part 2 is in the book except the father & brother getting killed & him taking revenge

Oranges are also a motif in the film Chinatown.

It'll definitely be coming 😊

@@TylerAlexander Outstanding!👍🏿

Saw V first (those guys have been waiting a while) and then Part 2 coming after. In the next 2-3 weeks or so 😊 working it round my Breaking Bad show too. Looking forward to it!

That's debatable

Both movies are great. I love Robert De Niro and Vito storyline.

That's alright, I'm happy to explain. The issue arises because that's not all it means. So often 'act like a man' is used to perpetuate this idea that men can't cry, can't emote in any way they like because it's hard wired into our society that a man should be a certain thing. The truth is, a man can be whatever he likes. He can like to sew, to wear nice clothes, he's allowed to cry and sing and dance and nothing will make him any less of a man. To my mind accepting one's own feelings and expressing them, even if this means crying makes you more of a man than holding it in would and, ultimately, holding it in does more harm to both yourself and those around you in the long run anyway. EDIT: That's not to say holding it in or being forced to hold your feelings in makes you less of a man or 'weaker'. The fault in that situation simply lies in the one using the phrase 'act like a man'. So, specifically in the scene I think you're mentioning (it's been a little while since I made this video), my problem with the phrase is because Don is telling whatsisface to act like a man because he's showing vulnerability. It's an archaic interpretation of what a man should be, and we know better now and we should practise being better. It's not about 'trying to be woke'. It's about showing genuine empathy to anyone of any gender because everyone deserves that right. As for being offended by being called they/them well...that's something you'll have to work at on your own. They/them is specifically gender neutral, it's not assigning you a gender you're not, it's not taking anything away from you. You're allowed to identify as a man and be proud to be a man but consider that some people aren't even accepted or allowed to identify as the gender they KNOW they are, because others can't accept that men or women are anything but THIS or THAT (insert examples of 'societal norm' at your leisure). Ultimately, I believe the thing we should all be striving for is being the best PERSON we can be. That's not to say you can't make decisions for yourself about the man you want to be. But I think it's important to accommodate alongside that a respect for anyone of any gender and, in this specific example, other men and their experiences and interpretations of the use of the phrase we're talking about.

@@TylerAlexander ok well i disagree with a lot of that.

I had someone say this when I was at 200 or so. Your mindset is so weird. Sure, throw a bigger number at me like it's an insult and remind me of my growth 😂 Not everyone wants to wear the same outfit every day.

It's his way of reacting... What tf's your problem ? If you like the other reactions go watch them... Wtf are you doing here ? Don't teach him what to do, it's his channel and he'll do whatever he wants. So, shut up !

I hope you’ll go back and watch the film again without talking, for your own appreciation. You miss, in several scenes, how the “lingering” in scenes builds an incredible tension. The hospital sequence. The phone call and the shooting in the restaurant (listen to the sound!). That’s its genius.

@@marzipan2115 did you ever consider why I didn't put those tense parts in my video? I was watching the fucking film. Obviously 🙄 hence why I wasn't talking/reacting which explains their absence from the video. From your comment I think you'd agree I'm allowed to leave some parts out in order to just enjoy the film, no? Honestly, it's like those who leave these kinds of comments don't understand they're watching an edited video. I pause to talk. I don't miss any of the film. If I do, I rewind. It's a function that's existed for decades at this point. PLEASE. Use at least one braincell.

Yes, I understand - I know it’s edited. And you did comment later about the techniques of building tension Coppola uses. You had talked a lot about the “lingering” - the scenes taking time to play out - during/over the scenes where the tension is mounting BECAUSE of the “lingering.” Maybe its my appreciation of those scenes and how the tension builds that I didn’t want them interrupted so often. Let them play out a bit, then make your points. That’s all.
