your right no 1 could play that role better.

Amazing that the studio fought against Pacino as Michael - they actually spent over $400,000.00 on screen tests (including testing James Caan for Michael!!!) before they realized that Coppola was right!

I read somewhere that they also thought that Al is too ugly to be Michael because he was not like those moviestars at that time, can anyone believe that..?

+Sanna Pääkkönen I don't think they thought he was ugly, but his short stature (5'7") might've caused them to not take him seriously.n

Maybe, but luckily they decided to keep him, he was delicious ;)

oh, I got to tell you, it was perfect. Perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details.

Imagine the range of emotions in a short amount of time. At first you'd assume Michael has special plans for you and him because he's proud of you and he wants to show his appreciation, then the kiss -- confusion -- then the line, "I knew it was you..." Now you're thinking, "How does he mean that? What does he know? Is it good? Is it bad?" Michael: "...you broke my heart..." You: "Oh, that's not good." Michael: "...you broke my heart." You: "Oh, that's definitely not good. Wait... was that the kiss of death!? Oh, he knows everything... I better get the H outta here!"

@@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044 He was also fantastic in The Deer Hunter.

This is classic shit that you can't recreate

A Crazy Curt Ghibli Scorsese????? Fuck out of here....this scene would have been fast paced following Fredo's back as he was walking toward the party...then Michael would have bitched slapped him until Fredo was all bloody...meanwhile the background music would be the Ronnettes "Be My Baby" or some shit. Nah...Scorcese is fine doing his own thing...

*BREAKING NEWS:* Michael Bay for remake of _The Godfather_ trilogy

You can see the life just drain out of his body as Michael lets go...... So good!

Shes history, I'm happy every day.

Lmfao. I hear that.

I'm pretty sure it was a kiss on the cheek. Highly doubt brothers would kiss eachother on the lips.

They were best friends before they were filmed for The Godfather. They had been acting together in plays for years.

No you're CORRECT it's fuckin incredible

Don't even worry i obsess with Tarantino movies and when u love a peice of cinema you just regard it above most ones because you see things most people can't

But the way Fred reacted was also remarkable.Only a good actor cud pull that off

"Roth's Dead."

you think too much

Eric Mustardman I think that was the point. The Corleones, like many Italians, were Catholics. As soon as Fredo recieved that kiss, he knew he was a dead man.

TheNecroluster1 Yes, you're probably right. Fredo knew he was as good as dead because he knew that his brother would never forgive anything that even remotely looked, felt or smelt like treason or teaming up against the Corleone family.

+TheNecroluster1 thats why its known as the kiss of death.

***** I agree. He could have sent him away somewhere. He didn't have to kill him. But, maybe it's Mafia code. Maybe that's the way the Mafia operates. How do we know?

Think about that statement again! Betrayal is a breach of trust - which is only committed by family or friends because you do trust/love them. You do not trust/love an enemy or anyone you don't truly know.

But if you consider this events, Fredo congratulated Michael because he wanted him gone in order to be elected as Don. Fredo always resented Michael for being Vito's favourite and this was the excuse to let it all out.

@@jorgebersabe293ummmm..interesting take. 🤔

@@fredflorist1682 wrong assessment, considering they had an older brother already in the business and he was still unlikely to be don

666th like 🤣

Ridiculous. In my opinion in GF II he was even better than Brando in Part I. The transformation he does in the films is stunning.

i like Michael, but he's kinda of a backstabber in the film, it makes him less likable, but don vito is the true mafia boss, if there was a guy like him i would of work with him any day, he's just soo honorable and deep inside, he was the best man of the Corleone family (and i love Al Pacino in the films, but if somebody asked about wich was my favourite actor of the whole trilogy i will always chose good old Marlon Brado, he was the true don, and robert de niro gives a great role has vito too, but i prefer the original, just my opinion).

Especially this part. He was magnificent.

The most dramatic kiss of death since Judas kissed Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Did Judas kiss the mouth off Jesus like that ? Koool !!

Apparently a duck is also a duck.

Fun fact: when he says "you broke my heart" its actually a figure speech and it doesn't really mean that his vital organ is broken. The fact that he is physically healthy in the scene further confirms it.

No shit Shirlock

@@mcfrisko834 me when im a homosexual that doesnt know what sarcasm is

Im shmart

Fredo sounds a lot like Trump: 'I'm smart, I know things.'

"Is there...anything else you can tell me about this investigation?"

"Yeah -- you felt it was because of some lack of trust of confidence -- but it's -- it's, because I admire you and I love you that I kept things secret from you. That's why at his moment you're the only one I completely trust. FREDO -- ah, he's got a good heart -- but he's week, and he's stupid, and this is life and death. TOM, you're my brother."

You're nothing to me now

He wasn't running from Michael, but from his own feelings. It was Fredo's complex masterplan betraying Michael to trick him into kissing him all along. A master pickup artist move, it's called "The Sicilian".

This is when Michael lost any last shred of his humanity

And I think that it was Coppola's wife and one of his employes that insisted to convince him at the first place (during the casting)

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aq1mmJeFxrDcm30.html ,

Than he murdered him after he realized he could lose his marriage

@@dc6461 which he lost anyway. Michael was holding on to his worst habits while he took his family fir granted. Little did he know that his family was about to abandon him.

@@angelicamaldonado7680 Michael didn't take his family for granted. This is factually inaccurate. Coppola while commenting godfather 2 said these words " Everything he did he did for his family and in the end he ruined his family ".. He turned himself into a savage animal to protect Kay and his children... He locked her up when she was in danger and went on killing spree executing anyone who was a threat He threatened sitting US Senator not to bring his family into the hypocrisy of corrupt world ... even though the meeting with the Senator was Michael's hope for the legimicy He mutilated prostitute when his wife was insulted When he lost his wife he never took the ring of his finger, got diabetes aged over night stopped smoking drinking killing and never touched another woman for the rest of his life That's opposite from taking anything for granted

@@dc6461 Once he began giving more importance to the business he took them for granted. I see your point, but he took things for granted. He supposed that Kay and his family would be there while everything else happened.

@@angelicamaldonado7680 When did he give more importance to business. Give me an example? Entire gf2 Michael is trying to legitimize the business but he always found time for his wife . He is running mafia family but he went out to have dinner and dance with his wife... So..... Just like Vito. Vito loved his family so much he became murderer to protect them. Yet during his daughter's wedding he was in the office doing business and came out just to have dance with his child and wife. Godfather 1 Michael is taking over the family. Officially, Vito is retiring and Michael is becoming Don He is fighting for his life and plotting mass murder yet he took his wife out for dinner and play the first day of him being The Godfather.

He was great no doubt

Al mentions him in a lot of interviews saying how good of an actor he was

Not the subject but he was the love of Meryl Streep

+Gaming Series okay buddy. no one else is that much of a Darsh.

+Hydro Cannons The Kiss Of Death

+milan labus Nearly got Michael killed.

milan labus Yep.

He went behind Michael's Back and worked with Hyman Roth to try and get Michael killed. In GF 1 Fredo was angry that Michael was made The New Don and not him. He insisted that he didn't know Johnny Ola (Hyman's Errand Boy) or Hyman Roth but when they went to see a Sex Show in Cuba, Senator Patrick Geary asked Fredo how he knew about the place and Fredo said that Johnny Ola told him in which he pretty much gave himself away.

That is right. Exile Fredo to Sicily where he becomes some low-level assistant to Don Tomassino. That would be better.

+justa crlon it wasnt even michael knows that when he went to the priest in godfather part 3

That's why these two films (I refuse to include the 3rd) is an epic tragedy. He starts off wanting nothing to do with the family 'business' and everything that entails... to get as far away as he can. That's why the ending scene is soo important. To show the difference between him and Sonny and their morals and values. Yet the end of the 2nd film he has become the very thing he despised most. To your point, he has crushed what remained of his soul by killing Fredo.

You`re right.He never got over it.In G3, Michael was haunted byFredo`s murder.

That is a bitter choice between familial affection and reality, Fredo's betrayal is an unforgiving crime in mafia family and had done harm to Micheal's family. Micheal must be cruel, warring to others what is the end of betrayer. So even Fredo was Micheal's beloved brother, It must be done, or the Corleone family would be crash down.

He was in on killing mike that's soft? His own brother

@@meyou-dv8ns no he didn’t know they would try to kill mike after the assassination attempt when Johnny ola calls him Fredo tells him that he doesn’t want to talk anymore because they lied to him

Especially for a guy who wanted to be in that life while Michael didn't.

@@jesussaves1566 fuck that in that world , anything that's evolves betrayal end up in killing so he was up to kill mike

So do you kill anyone who does you wrong? Is that the right message?

you're fucking deranged

You're right but I genuinely believe that if Fredo had expressed remorse & guilt over his actions that Michael would have let him live. Michael knew that Fredo was weak & stupid. It's not out of the question that he could be convinced that Fredo got mixed up with shady people that took advantage of him and was in way over his head. Too bad Fredo instead vented rage & frustration against Michael which solidified the betrayal.
