The Godfather - Marlon Brando and Al Pacino (Vito and Michael) | FullHD

reminds me of me and my dad, he dont wanna pass the torch but I know what to do

Al acting in this one is so good, superb honestly one of the best ever.

And Brando wooow it seems as if he wasn't acting that he really is Vito.

Michael is most beloved of all to Vito regardless.

“Women and Children can be careless, but not men.” Um.....ok.

Michael didn't Flinch or show any emotions when Vito said at that meeting you'll be assassinated.

My favorite scene of the entire Trilogy. 😊

This is a classic “father-son talk”

The way he looks at Pachino when he says “read the funny papers” gets me every time. What an actor

Michael and Vito in the hospital, and this scene are two of my favorites in the whole film. Tremendous emotion freight.

The best scene of all franchise,the scence of this story,if Someone ask you why this movie its so big show this sequence.

“Women and Children can be careless but not men” that sticks with me the hardest

Barzini should have move on Vito from the gigo

Part 1 and part 2 was a classic movie 🎥 if I listed all the reasons would be the longest comment ever

🌴 Train to take the right decisions.

🌴 Train to face this World.

If a father does it, is the real father.

two of the greatest actors ever

Life lessons

Based on the interview, Brando doesnt like memorizing scripts. In this scene, his lines were put in a tree, I just cant believe how he put it out naturally

The most masterfully acted movie dialogue ever. And the camerawork only adds to it.

“Just wasnt enough time Michael. Wasnt enough time…….”

“We’ll get there pop…… we’ll get there”

The dialogue in this scene is incredible

I fear that with the passage of time the dialogue in these old movies will become incomprehensible without knowledge of the language during the time it was released, like a Shakespeare play. "Funny papers" refers to the comics section of a newspaper. How many younger people know what that means, let alone seen a newspaper?

When we (I) get old, one (I) wishes that the dead ones were alive, I wish today that my uncles (E&E) were alive. My respects to you, sincerely.

One of my favorite scenes

“and I refused to be a fool; Dancing on the string, held by all those big shots”

It's amazing how blow for blow Vito's warning to Michael was frighteningly accurate

hey can someone tell me what micheal says near ther end. it sounds like he says "another person of honor?". or does he say something in italian?

One of the greatest exchanges in cinematic history. Profound and compelling.

most beautiful scene in the entire movie....very nostalgic and realistic

“I never wanted this for you” hits so hard

Amazing to think Brando was only 47 years old when he shot this scene.

"And Fredo, well... Fredo was... uhh."

Them chemistry between these actors is amazing. You really believe they are father and son.

This has always been one of my favorite scenes. It always stuck with me.

A very strong argument that these are the two greatest actors of all time.

Tomato garden.

In the second half of this scene, Vito Corleone seems to be looking up and away from Michael because he's thinking. Actually Marlon Brando was looking up at his lines which were on a sign that had been places in the tree outside the shot. Brando refused to memorize his lines, so Coppola came up with creative ways to remind Brando of his lines.

Keep your friends close, and keep your enemies closer.
- Vito Corleone.

God, what a beautifully acted scene. Greatest movie of all time.

“We’ll get there pop… we’ll get there.”

women and children can be careless, not men

I like how they started off talking face to face with eye contact. But when Vito becomes vulnerable he positions himself so he doesn't look Mike in the face. Then when they talk business again, eye contact is re-established. It reminds me of the way my father was reluctant to be vulnerable with me because of this stuff about men shouldn't be vulnerable.

Young men as your father ages spend more time like this, letting him talk and listening. We're men, we are meant to leave home and work hard for our families, but don't forget about your father; you won't have him forever and you'll wish you had spent more time obtaining wisdom from him.

Pacino looks breathtakingly handsome here

Beautiful 😢

The best scene of this masterpiece.

whar is the soundtrack?

My favorite single scene in the entire movie.

This scene is the work of Robert Towne and his rewrite. Pure genius.

Did Vito or Michael Corleone cheat on their wives in The Godfather?
That’s a really perceptive question! The answer sheds light on the characters of Vito and Michael and demonstrates some of the reasons why they are so superior to their peers , and so sympathetic to the audience.

In addition to being master strategists and tactical geniuses, both Vito and Michael are ascetic by nature. They are men who are motivated by their own abstract goals, and have virtually no interest in gratifying the senses. Put more bluntly, they are both so obsessed with protecting their families and furthering their interests (both their immediate families and their business families) that they have no time left to worry about “getting laid.” This flies in the face of the Mafia tradition where most good fellas have a mistress (“gumar”) in addition to their wives.

This attitude on the part of Vito is demonstrated when he unequivocally remarks that a man who doesn’t value his immediate family above everything else, “can never be a real man.” That’s a powerful statement, and clearly this is not a man to cheat on his wife.

We see a similar attitude in Michael in a key scene from The Godfather, Part 2 when he challenges Tom Hagen’s loyalty. He mentions that he knows that Tom has received another job offer and suggests that he might be happier if he left and took his wife and his mistress with him. This contempt stings, and obviously upset by it Tom replies, “Mikie, why do you hurt me? I’ve always been loyal to you?”

Another example of Vito and Michael’s asceticism is their attitude towards alcohol. Not only do you almost never see either of them drinking, but they both often betray a subtle contempt for others who “need” to drink. In The Godfather, Part 1, after Sonny is murdered, Vito senses something is wrong and come downstairs to confront his stepson, Tom. He sees Tom’s drink and he pointedly says that something bad must have happened because Tom needed to have a drink before he could tell him. Then he says, “Well, you’ve had your drink, now tell me!”

Similarly, Michael (even in moments of great stress), always drinks either water or club soda. His contempt for alcohol (and other things) is demonstrated in the scene where he confronts his brother-in-law Carlo for helping to set up the hit on Sonny. Michael orders his men to give Carlo a drink, in order to help elicit a confession. It’s obvious that he views Carlo as weak and Carlo’s need for some “false courage” only amplifies this.

Another scene that strongly telegraphs this same attitude is the exchange that takes place in Havana, in the Godfather, Part 2, when Michael and his brother spend a little time together. Fredo, the embodiment of weakness, knocks back drink after drink (“How do say Pina Colada?”) By contrast, Michael, the powerful don, sits back quietly and sips his club soda. Later we see Fredo inviting the Corleone’s guests in Havana to try a “Cuba Libre,” or one of the other “exotic” drinks available. Fredo is a weak “party boy” and drinking is one of his very few areas of competence.

To my knowledge, the only time we ever see Vito drinking are when he takes a microscopic sip of an aperitif when he negotiates with the treacherous Sollazzo. That, and a scene towards the very end of the first movie. Here he sits in the garden conferring with Michael and we see him sparingly sip from a tiny glass of red while he fusses, “Well, I drink more wine than I used to.” But he is retired at this point and he has passed all of his grave responsibilities on to Michael.

As for Michael, he takes a few sips of chianti during his Sicilian exile and to be polite he sips a champagne cocktail at his son’s party in Nevada. But clearly Vito and Michael are not drinkers and not womanizers. This moral superiority in their personal habits helps give them an edge over they’re rivals — they are not distracted by petty things. And it is their moderation which makes them more attractive to the audience.

The true passing of the Torch 😭
