Exactly 👌🏾

Timothee Chalamet would do a great job playing young Pacino, based on this scene.

@@joliecide no tf he wouldn't

@@joliecide dude timonthee chalamet doesnt even look italian or like al pacino at all. also not to mention sicily is in southern italy, southern italians have a specific look to them. they are olive skin color also.

That one is supposed to be Santino (James Caan)

@@teacherwill9209Nah. Caan is the curly headed one being held back. The guy holding him is Duvall.

@@SirJamesthePaul oh man you're right. My bad.

nice catch!

I LOVED the kiss the ring dinner scene as well! 😳 it was EPIC 😍 I was fangirling over Brando here lol 😌

I wondered where I'd seen him before. He was bloody good as Brando.

That’s who that is? I thought it was the Tuco guy from Breaking Bad.

totally agree.

that would be Rocky

@@alfredowaltergutierrezmald834 "Office Space" is very close 2nd

No doubt indeed .

Idk about that. Best film ever made about that world and the history behind it? Without a doubt. Best ever? There are a few films that could easily be in the top spot, but its all opinions in the end. Citizen Kane, Casablanca, It's a Wonderful Life, Wizard of Oz, Godfather, Vertigo, Shawshank Redemption, and the list goes on.

Agreed! I want to see this cast and crew make a Godfather miniseries.

Yeah

I thought it kind of worked better that they didn't do that. As you say we have the original film, and not trying to recreate it in the show helped suspend disbelief. (It just occurred to me that a fun exercise would be to watch the show's scenes where they're set up to film the movie scenes (Michael and Kay carrying Christmas presents, Sonny beating up Carlo, the car exploding, etc.), and then watch the corresponding movie scene.)

I did too!!

Why?

YOU CAN ACT LIKE A'MAN! *__* What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood finocchio that cries like a woman? What can I do?! What can I do?! What is that nonsense? Ridiculous.

No he wasn't there. He co-wrote the script, his job was done.

@@srb9 but don’t you think he deserves or should’ve been there at the dinner to meet the actors that would be the characters that HE created?

@@kevintran5901 sure but that was not his call. That was Coppola's. Puzo wrote the book, co-wrote the script with Coppola. His job was done regardless of how Puzo personally felt.

He wasn't at this particular dinner, but he was in the filming. He's a great character in this minisseries, love him. That confrontation with Sinatra was as good as a reenactement as the real thing

@@theportugueselegend I need to see that one. I understand that meeting was ill-advised and it did *not* go well as Sinatra hated the book.

He’s sitting besides James Caan , the one that grabs him.

@@tonygeek1257 yep the actor's name is Derek Magyar. He has similar nose to Robert Duvall

The one time Gianni Russo was actually there.

@@crakesandbarrels you are so right. He has so many stories. 😆

He was home, making up more stories.

No other that THE Al Ruddy, he produced the whole thing and made the right choices (along side Francis) to make the movie the masterpiece that it is. The miniseries is basically his story.

I totally agree. Everyone is saying this scene is so perfect but there are a few thuds that just don’t feel right to me. I also happen to think the actor playing Coppola is just downright bad in a lot of his scenes.

@@candaces.7547 You guys are nuts! Sonny (James Caan's character) was exactly like that. Have you guys even seen the movie? Did you watch the miniseries? Everything, EVERYTHING rings true in that scene. Al Ruddy has stated that the scene in questioned happened exactly the way that it is shown, without any prompting from him or Coppola, and it surprised him how everyone just fell into character without being asked. Perhaps, if you don't like Dan Fogler's impression of Coppola then you'd like watching him better in Balls of Fury. That seems more your speed.

No it's not

No it’s not.......Puzo didn’t even know Pacino when he wrote the novel. Why do people like you just make up bs facts like this?

Corleone is a town in Sicily. They're home to the Corleonesi, the deadliest mafia clan on the island.

Puzo gave the family the name Corleone. Coincidentally, Al Pacino’s grandparents came from Corleone, Sicily. He tried to keep it a secret, but finally talked about it on a talk show long after the Godfather movies. The Paramount big wigs didn’t even want Al Pacino in the movie, but Coppola fought for him

But yes, technically Corleone does mean "heart of the lion."

just do a little research and stop embarrassing yourself.

This is the dinner The Godfather cast had a few days before starting to shoot. They started acting in character while having dinner

@@meximedic62 I was in 💖 with the dinner scene 🤩 ESPECIALLY over Justin's Brando mark my WORDS....he's gonna be ICONIC! 😍

That actress playing Diane Keaton really looks like her!

bruh they were acting in character

1:24

They were in character

Cuz that’s Fredo character… no confidence or backbone, the weakone
