Bring home the epic trilogy on 4K Ultra HD and Digital now: paramnt.us/The...
No movie changed Hollywood more than THE GODFATHER. From the bestselling novel by Mario Puzo to box-office blockbuster, its influential legacy endures to this day. Starring Marlon Brando in his Oscar®-winning performance as the patriarch of the Corleone family, this first installment in the three-movie saga paints a dramatic portrait of the Sicilian clan’s rise and near fall from power in America. Balanced between the Corleone’s commitment to family and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged, it features career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, Diane Keaton and Robert Duvall. This searing and brilliant masterpiece garnered ten Academy Award® nominations, and won three, including Best Picture.
Featuring: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, John Cazale, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Sterling Hayden, Richard Conte, Talia Shire, Al Lettieri

It was not a threat, it was not an order, it was not a request, it was a matter of loyalty that should not have been required to be said, Freddo was already a dead man walking. Freddo, Sonny, and Connie, hardly the offspring that the Don would be proud of, the halfwit, the hothead, and the lunatic, poor old Micheal, he was having to play Texas Hold Em with ten two offsuit.

@@garylake1676 Freddo was too stupid, just like Connie was, too recognize that the beatings they took was bait. Sonny’s explosive personality, temperament and lack of discipline was used against him which led to him getting whacked. Michael’s approach was to take Moe Greene’s hotel and casino. Yet, even though Michael confronted Moe about the assault on Freddo, Freddo defended Moe. Then, Moe admitted he had spoken to Barzini, which gave Michael the proof of who was behind it, as his father had taught him.

Right, Moe Green is pacing all over the room, tossing around poker chips to the crowd and dressing down the Corleone family like the cheap hustler he is. Mike just sits and listens. Fredo doesn’t get it; the movie more than the book paints the oldest brother as a little off, maybe a slight bit retarded or missing something. At this stage Fredo should have started saying his Hail Mary’s!

Well looking down on somebody is the opposite of power

@frankreedy6437 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry, my bad above, sort of. At the time Michael arrived to confront Moe Green in Vegas, Fredo was technically the ‘oldest’ (older, actually, then, since Santino or Sonny already had been massacred by his family’s opponents), but he was the middle born of the Don’s three sons and the second of four children. When Michael scolds Fredo for chumming up to Moe as the latter rejected out of hand the Corleone organization’s overtures to buy Moe’s interest in (obviously an allusion to the upstart Flamingo headed by Bugsy Siegel in real life) the resort and casino a couple of miles south of downtown, Fredo’s fate unfolds. Thus we await perhaps the greatest sin of many in the story: fratricide. This allusion by book author and co-screenwriter Mario Puzo to the Cain and Abel saga in Genesis is about as subtle as two .22 slugs to the head. It is this scene that Michael Corleone is elevated as a demigod in this grand American story.

@@krimpoo "who KILLED his own brother" A brother that hat betrayed the family THRICE and had almost gotten him killed, because he was a pathetic, weak, jealous man. "SHOT a cop and another boss in the face point blank" Both of whom were evil and corrupt and tried to kill his father and destroy his family. He did what he had to do to protect it. "When did you completely lose your sense of morality and humanity?" When did you? Is not the protecting of the people you love, even if it costs everything you have, the highest moral good? "He came back a war hero who wanted a life outside of the family 'business' and ended up a complete monster of a human being." Monster is a relative term. Monsters are usually thought to be evil just for the sake of it. This does not apply to Michael; he wanted nothing to do with the family business, but as his family was threatened with annihilation and death, he stepped in and did what he had to do - things that forever changed him, but he had no choice. What would you have him done? Not shoot Sollozzo and McCluskey, thus ensuring they'd conspire to kill his father and most probably his brother too? Not become the head of the family himself, thus letting it go into complete and utter ruin and giving up its safety, probably including his own?!

I love this scene! What some viewers don't realise is that Michael isn't just shaking down some small-time, mobbed-up, casino owner, he's "negotiating" with a fictionalised version of Bugsy Siegel (a fuckin' powerhouse in his own right & a proper Luca Brasi himself during his early days). This is a man that has a ton of pull within the organised crime network in America, specifically: Las Vegas & has the backing of the commission in New York. Hence, the surprise on Greenes face when saying, "The Corleone family wants to buy me out?" This is a power play that rivals that of the Sollozzo killing, but the subtlety of the direction & the pacing of the film would have us believe that this is a minor, if not barely significant occurence. (Yes, yes, Hyman Roth alludes to this, but it's never really fleshed out in a way that non armchair mob historians would understand). In short, this was a badass move.

@simonm7133 2 жыл бұрын

So much of Michael's ruthlessness is tied up here. From his completely business like approach to Green 'Your casinos lose money' to the warning to his brother about siding against the family. Pacino was able to convey everything about Michael's character in that one scene. When he murders Sollozzo he's still nervous but knows what he has to do and realises his life will never be the same. Here we have the transformation to the self assured, mature brains of the family, completely confident in his power over the family and business. Brilliant acting by all. Still one of the greatest movies ever made.

To anyone that doesnt know the back story here, the Corleone's invested in Mo's casino. Michael knew Mo had been taking some of those profits and lining his own pockets ("skimming off the top".) So Mo was essentially stealing from the Corleones and showing little graititude towards his business partners who, without their investment, Mo would have not been the success he is today. To add insult to injury, Mo laid his hands on the son of the head of one of the families. Fredo was sent out there to keep out of the way but also to essentially keep an eye on the Corleone's invesment. Michael offering to buy Mo out was incredibly gracious. Mo's response was to question the head of one of the four families power and influence, showing that he considered the family weak. Mo really should not have been surprised that Michael was was going to kill him. In Michael's mind, Mo was one of the more justiiable killings.

But that exchange will have embarrassed Fredo, possibly an element leading to ‘there was something in it for me’. Anyway, that’s the interpretation I took. Especially as Michael is a fan of ‘never let anyone know what you are thinking’. Although I guess how does the viewer know Michael is pissed off about it unless the character says as much… but seems to me to be the younger brother openly saying something about the older brother in front of the older brother himself. Very undermining.
