"I believe in America. Americans made my fortune, and I raised my daughter in American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a boyfriend, not an Italian, she went to the movies with him, she stayed out late, I didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey and then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted, she kept her honor, so they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the hospital, her nose was broken, her jaw was shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain. But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the love of my life, this beautiful girl, now she will never be beautiful again. I went to the police, like a good American. These two boys were brought to trial, the judge sentenced them to three years in prison and suspended the sentence. Suspended the sentence!? They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool and those two bastards, they smiled at me! Then I said to my wife, for justice, we must go to Don Corleone..."

The Godfather: _peaceful, gentle music_ Scarface: *PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT*

"And may their first child, be a masculine child" ~ Luca Brasi

You broke my heart, Fredo. You broke my heart.

i came here because i heard that don corleone is an honorable man

This movie came out on 24th february 1972 and today it’s 50th anniversary. Still the best after half a century.

" I've spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can be careless but not men " - Vito Corleone

This movie was a pure gangster masterpiece

"Fredo. You are my older brother, and i love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone, aganist the family again. -Ever- " -Micheal "-Don-" Corleone

"Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day."

When I listen that music, I dream a huge family. All of the family members are in a home with a garden. There are my kids and their kids. Little children are playing with each other or just running a point to point. My kids are talking about the cars, their jobs and life. My wife is getting busy with grandchildren. Everybody is happy. But what ı am doing? I am watching the my work. Getting proud to do the mission what I must for life. When I come the age 60 and listen again the godfather, I will see this comment and smile to the past life

Masterpiece

I want this to be played on my funeral when I die

people: make bad jokes and parodies of the godfather the godfather fans: look how they massacred my boy

I'm 17 and I just watched the film for the first time yesterday. It is a masterpiece!

Look how they massacred my boy..

This was played at my brother and sister-in-law's wedding reception when she danced with her father. The look on her father's face was priceless! May they both have happy lives together! UPDATE: They now have a son named Luciano.

When the teacher leaves the zoom meeting and your made the Host

I'm teaching The Godfather in my film club and this was the perfect background music as students entered the classroom.

1:14 Leave the gun, take the cannoli

“Revenge is a dish that tastes best when served cold.”

"Don't hate your enemy it will affect your judgment" Michael Corleone

Era Aprile 1974 quando mio padre si sposò. Al suo matrimonio doveva esserci il maestro Nino Rota..(erano grandi amici) ma lui era in America a portare questo capolavoro....Al suo ritorno regalò 200 mila lire a papà ( di famiglia povera)come regalo di matrimonio..Grande uomo e grande genio della musica italiana..

Playing this around the house makes menial tasks like washing the dishes a lot more menacing.

The famous trumpet theme of Godfather movie embodies the character Godfather as he stands as the character is presented to us. Noble and yet emanating a sense of solitude he allows an audience in which woes or wishes will be expressed. One can’t help but wonder… how does such a figure come to possess, wield and symbolize such a power. Following such a solemn introduction, almost whimsical, the waltz unfolds. at 0:35 Light, possessing minor harmonies pulsating with the energy and feigned happiness of major tone, the trumpet isn't alone anymore. The same solemn theme accompanied by the mandolin, accordion and a doleful clarinet becomes the doorway to a complex character. This become more obvious at 1:15. Just like Tchaikovsky could juxtapose an addendum of utter sadness to song of dance and levity, the waltz reveals that not everything is what it seems. The Godfather isn't simply a man of power and means. The apex comes when the wind instruments dance in this wonderful waving of harmonies and interplay at 2:02...a doleful chant of a character who embodies a code of honor, a desire to conduct business in ways that fall within a personal code of honor, the hearsay of his past, the gifts of bilateral loyalty and a careful relationship with violence. But let's not dwell on the sadness and the sacrifice that has brought life to the Godfather. The waltz goes on, stronger, more enthralling, more entrancing, beckoning us to loose ourselves in the celebration that cloaks the prevailing darkness that fuels this said reality. at 3:31 The rhythm slows down as a reminder that for the audience it is a story that is just starting. We are unaware of the consequences of holding such a position of power, viewers blinded by shows of luxury, mafia based shows of loyalty, omerta and masculine strength. What we view from afar...isn't so or is deceptively more so than what we imagined

Some people will leave you however this is not the end of your life This the end of their role in your life

Hard to believe this movie is almost 50 years old. I wish I could've seen it in the theater.

anyone disliking has no taste in music or movies.

*There just wasn't enough time Michael*

Can I just note how Michael has one of the best character arcs ever in my opinion. He seems like among the very last people to become the next Godfather, but of course the character development is supreme tier, and his transformation is absolutely believable :)

actors, script, camera, music. #1 in every category. unique 🙌

I assure you either your mouse will be on the like button or your brains will.

4 dislikes, I must see Don Corleone for justice !

Listening to this music reminds me of my father (RIP). He never missed the time to enjoy this and had watched the movie many times. I miss him so much and it's so sad.

Лучший фильм всех времён с гениальным сценарием и глубоким психологическим сюжетом

Best movie of all time

"Just as I thought I was out They Pulled me back in" "Keep your Friends close but your enemies closer" "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" "Women and Children can be careless but not Men" "Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli" "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man"

The most beautiful, enchanting and melancholic melody in the world. And the best movie ever created in the cinematic history.

Will be dancing to this with my father on my wedding day ✌

*sees the dislikes* What the hell is this? It's an internet message. It means 20 KZfaqrs sleep with the fishes.

10 people will wake up with a horse head in their bed.

I knew someone like this but he died he was really old... miss being a kid the older u get the more people die.

Obra maestra del genio Niño Rota. Preciosa música que hace vibrar todo el ser.

This truly makes me want to watch the movie over and over and over again. What a masterpiece, indeed.

The best movie ever. Must watch for the entire human race.

“I refuse to be a puppet dancing on a string held by all these big shots” vito Corleone

Listening to this in 2023, this is what you call a classic

Everytime I hear this song I get chills running up and down my spine. Don Corelone lives on forever in our hearts and minds.

Respect, Honor and loyalty things that can't be found nowadays

Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your home on the wedding day of your daughter. And may their first child be a masculine child. - Luca Brasi

This is my favorite movie soundtrack. It's a perfect mix of both elegance and sinister.

Leave the dislikes. Take the Waltz.

I knew that Santino was gonna have to go through all this, and Fredo. But I never, I never wanted this for you!

I came, like I imagine many others, to celebrate the life and works of the late great James Caan. May his soul rest in peace.

When I listen to this track I feel myself in some place in southern Italy admiring a sunset, drinking stg, smoking and admiring the existance

The music from godfather sounds so Mafia like. My grandpa was watching this movie a lot. This is why godfather is my all time favorite movie and game franchise. May the Corleone family live!

keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

"There just wasn't enough time, Michael. Wasn't enough time." "We'll get there, Pop. We'll get there."

This music strongly expresses the life of the mafia, mystery and sadness wrapped in beauty and sweetness

Masterpiece I have no words for this piece of art

Imagine a musical masterpiece still lives iconically 50 years later ?

Браво Нино - върховна мелодия,свръх чувствена!Поклон!!!

I can't think of another refrain whose commencement elicits such a visceral emotional response in me. The nostalgia felt is overwhelming.

A song worth the movie’s caliber; a truly magnificent novel, movie, soundtrack... and so on. Godfather unites the pinnacle of acting, story-telling and music.

Dentro de poco será mi graduación de la prepa, lo que le pido a Dios es que me dé permiso de bailar está pieza con mi madre el día de mi fiesta

The best film of this world

I wish this movie and this song goes on forever. The best film ever made 😘😘😘

Meravigliosa trilogia "Del cinema ,con la stupende musica ,di un grande come Nino Rota !

The Godfather trilogy is actually very sad. We see Michael struggle to not get involved but losing his loved ones.

To our future generations, do not let this masterpiece die

Don, Corleone. I Am honored and Great ful you have invited me to your daughters wedding. I pledge my undieing loyalty.

The godfather and the godfather part || was phenomenal success my respects to Don puzo and Don Brando the music and story was amazing when I watch this I feel Italian ❤️🇮🇹 such an amazing classic!

The tune stuck in the minds of rookies as seniors walk down the hall at school...

The first time i saw this film i was 16 my dad showed the dvd and i was mesmerized never seen anything like it

I can't think of any other tune to accompany this movie instead of this masterpiece.

The three of them sat at the only round table, Sollozzo refusing a booth. There were only two other people in the restaurant. Michael wondered whether they were Sollozzo plants. But it didn’t matter. Before they could interfere it would be all over. McCluskey asked with real interest, “Is the Italian food good here?” Sollozzo reassured him. “Try the veal, it’s the finest in New York.” The solitary waiter had brought a bottle of wine to the table and uncorked it. He poured three glasses full. Surprisingly McCluskey did not drink. “I must be the only Irishman who don’t take the booze,” he said. “I seen too many good people get in trouble because of the booze.” Sollozzo said placatingly to the captain, “I am going to talk Italian to Mike, not because I don’t trust you but because I can’t explain myself properly in English and I want to convince Mike that I mean well, that it’s to everybody’s advantage for us to come to an agreement tonight. Don’t be insulted by this, it’s not that I don’t trust you.” Captain McCluskey gave them both an ironic grin. “Sure, you two go right ahead,” he said. “I’ll concentrate on my veal and spaghetti.” Sollozzo began speaking to Michael in rapid Sicilian. He said, “You must understand that what happened between me and your father was strictly a business matter.” I have a great respect for Don Corleone and would beg for the opportunity to enter his service. But you must understand that your father is an old-fashioned man. He stands in the way of progress. The business I am in is the coming thing, the wave of the future, there are untold millions of dollars for everyone to make. But your father stands in the way because of certain unrealistic scruples. By doing this he imposes his will on men like myself. Yes, yes, I know, he says to me, ‘Go ahead, it’s your business,’ but we both know that is unrealistic. We must tread on each other’s corns. What he is really telling me is that I cannot operate my business. I am a man who respects himself and cannot let another man impose his will on me so what had to happen did happen. Let me say that I had the support, the silent support of all the New York Families. And the Tattaglia Family became my partners. If this quarrel continues, then the Corleone Family will stand alone against everyone. Perhaps if your father were well, it could be done. But the eldest son is not the man the Godfather is, no disrespect intended. And the Irish Consigliori, Hagen, is not the man Genco Abbandando was, God rest his soul. So I propose a peace, a truce. Let us cease all hostilities until your father is well again and can take part in these bargainings. The Tattaglia Family agrees, upon my persuasions and my indemnities, to forgo justice for their son Bruno. We will have peace. Meanwhile, I have to make a living and will do a little trading in my business. I do not ask your cooperation, but I ask you, the Corleone Family, not to interfere. These are my proposals. I assume you have the authority to agree, to make a deal.” Michael said in Sicilian, “Tell me more about how you propose to start your business, exactly what part my Family has to play in it and what profit we can take from this business.” “You want the whole proposition in detail then?” Sollozzo asked. Michael said gravely, “Most important of all I must have sure guarantees that no more attempts will be made on my father’s life.” Sollozzo raised his hand expressively. “What guarantees can I give you? I’m the hunted one. I’ve missed my chance. You think too highly of me, my friend. I am not that clever.” Michael was sure now that the conference was only to gain a few days’ time. That Sollozzo would make another attempt to kill the Don. What was beautiful was that the Turk was underrating him as a punk kid. Michael felt that strange delicious chill filling his body. He made his face look distressed. Sollozzo asked sharply, “What is it?” Michael said with an embarrassed air, “The wine went right to my bladder. I’ve been holding it in. Is it all right if I go to the bathroom.” Sollozzo was searching his face intently with his dark eyes. He reached over and roughly thrust his hand in Michael’s crotch, under it and around, searching for a weapon. Michael looked offended. McCluskey said curtly, “I frisked him. I’ve frisked thousands of young punks. He’s clean.” Sollozzo didn’t like it. For no reason at all he didn’t like it. He glanced at the man sitting at a table opposite them and raised his eyebrows toward the door of the bathroom. The man gave a slight nod that he had checked it, that there was nobody inside. Sollozzo said reluctantly, “Don’t take too long.” He had a marvellous antenna, he was nervous. Michael got up and went into the bathroom. The urinal had a pink bar of soap in it secured by a wire net. He went into the booth. He really had to go, his bowels were loose. He did it very quickly, then reached behind the enamel water cabinet until his hand touched the small, blunt-nosed gun fastened with tape. He ripped the gun loose, remembering that Clemenza had said not to worry about leaving prints on the tape. He shoved the gun into his waistband and buttoned his jacket over it. He washed his hands and wet his hair. He wiped his prints off the faucet with his handkerchief. Then he left the toilet. Sollozzo was sitting directly facing the door of the toilet, his dark eyes blazing with alertness. Michael gave a smile. “Now I can talk,” he said with a sigh of relief. Captain McCluskey was eating the plate of veal and spaghetti that had arrived. The man on the far wall had been stiff with attention, now he too relaxed visibly. Michael sat down again. He remembered Clemenza had told him not to do this, to come out of the toilet and blaze away. But either out of some warning instinct or sheer funk he had not done so. He had felt that if he had made one swift move he would have been cut down. Now he felt safe and he must have been scared because he was glad he was no longer standing on his legs. They had gone weak with trembling. Sollozzo was leaning toward him. Michael, his belly covered by the table, unbuttoned his jacket and listened intently. He could not understand a word the man was saying. It was literally gibberish to him. His mind was so filled with pounding blood that no word registered. Underneath the table his right hand moved to the gun tucked into his waistband and he drew it free. At the moment the waiter came to take their order and Sollozzo turned his head to speak to the waiter. Michael thrust the table away from him with his left hand and his right hand shove the gun almost against Sollozzo’s head. The man’s coordination was so acute that he had already begun to fling himself away at Michael’s motion. But, Michael, younger, his reflexes sharper, pulled the trigger. The bullet caught Sollozzo squarely between his eye and his ear and when it exited on the other side blasted out a huge gout of blood and skull fragments onto the petrified waiter’s jacket. Instinctively Michael knew that one bullet was enough. Sollozzo had turned his head in that last moment and he had seen the light of life die in the man’s eyes as clearly as a candle goes out. Only one second had gone by as Michael pivoted to bring the gun to bear on McCluskey. The police captain was staring at Sollozzo with phlegmatic surprise, as if this had nothing to do with him. He did not seem to be aware of his own danger. His veal-covered fork was suspended in his hand and his eyes were juts turning on Michael. And the expression on his face, in his eyes, held such confident outrage, as if now he expected Michael to surrender or to run away, that Michael smiled at him as he pulled the trigger. This shot was bad, not mortal. It caught McCluskey in his thick bull-like throat and he started to choke loudly as if he had swallowed too large a bite of the veal. Then the air seemed to fill with a fine mist of sprayed blood as he coughed it out of his shattered lungs. Very coolly, very deliberately, Michael fired the next shot through the top of his white-haired skull. The air seemed to be full of pink mist. Michael swung toward the man sitting against the wall. This man had not made a move. He seemed paralyzed. Now he carefully showed his hands on top of the table and looked away. The waiter was staggering back toward the kitchen, an expression of horror on his face, staring at Michael in disbelief. Sollozzo was still in his chair, the side of his body propped up by the table. McCluskey, his heavy body pulling downward, had fallen off his chair onto the floor. Michael let the gun slip out of his hand so that it bounced off his body and made no noise. He saw that neither the man against the wall nor the waiter had noticed him dropping the gun. He strode the few steps toward the door and opened it.

anyone listens to this fantastic music in 2018 ?? u are really a great person and rare one :)

Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.

You can feel the sense of corruption and power, like if you’re in an important situation that involves societal topics that are dark and real. No regular people, only people who know things, who are sophisticated

50 years of greatness, 50 years of taking our breath away, 50 years of marvellous saga that i never ever get board watching it over and over again. ❤

Alas! There will never be a masterpiece like this again

This will always be the absolute BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME

Lo vidi in prima visione nel 1972 e da allora l'ho visto una infinità di volte. Ho il libro originale in italiano e in inglese. Lo scorso anno ho comprato la riproduzione dei tre film più extra in 4k della Paramount.

KZfaq suggested I watch this for the 100th time. I guess it was an offer I couldn't refuse.

KZfaq made me a recommendation i couldn't refuse

În memoriam în semn de respect și aducere aminte ca un pios omagiu adus aminte marelui și regretatului meu maestrul preferat compozitor italian nino rotta pentru care a compus muzica pentru coloana sonoră a filmului the godfather nașul în regia lui francis ford copola cu o mare pleiadă de actori de excepție al pacino, al lettieri, al martino, marlon brando, robert de niro, robert duvall, james caan talia shire, diane keaton. Mare păcat că nu mai știm să ne apreciem mari noștri artiști minunați și super geniali de mare clasă cât mai sânt încă în viață lângă noi să îi iubim prețuim și respectăm valorile și care au plecat la cele veșnice și care ne-au părăsit în această viață. Bunul dumnezeu să vă aibă în pază și protecție să vă odihnească în pace maestre acolo unde ați plecat la domnul printre stele eterne regrete și sincere condoleante familiei sale pentru că nu se va mai putea naște niciodată un asemenea mare om genial și unic. Din partea unui admirator fan și spectator drag și fidel. Amin.

To this day, everytime I listen to any of the godfather soundtrack, it always reminds me of the good times I had on the game back on the 360.

,, When they come. They come after what you love"

Que hermoso como me hace llorar el padrino sin duda una de las mejores películas de todas

I want the first 35 seconds of this played at my funeral someday.

A man who doesn't like this music can never be a real man.

This tune shakes me up, takes me to inner world of Corleone family every time I hear it. It screams vengeance, power and tragedy. All at the same time. Goosebumps.

It's been 50 years since this movie came out..still one of the best movies ever (at least top 3). It could never be made now, Hollywood is just shallow woke crap now

Listening to this is an offer I can’t refuse

One of the best movies in the history

Un tremendo tema para la mejor película de todos los tiempos

I'm not Italian but this is good

Ah the nostalgia. This tune is so iconic man

I remember ages ago I bought the scarface game for the ps2 and the godfather was in the box instead safe to say I wasn't disappointed though and its become one of my favourite games
