The Godfather I (1972)- Baptism Scene, Michael Kills all the heads of the other families

Fun fact: the other hitman with Rocco Lampone is Uncle Pat from The Sopranos.

The fact Vito kept his promise to both the families and Sonny. Masterclass performance

My mom said the retaliation strikes during the funerals for the 3 soldiers by the US reminded her of this scene.

Best movie of all.time

"I do renounce them".

Fun fact, in the book, they dont kill all the other 4 family bosses, just the ones they directly had beef with. tattaglia and barzini.
and of course moe greene, tessio, and the brother in law.
but one addition in the books, is the bodyguard who betrayed michael in sicily. He fled to america and opened a pizzeria. michael knew about this for years but waited until this moment to get his revenge.

This scene is where Michael Literally and Metaphorically becomes The Godfather of the criminal underworld and restores the Corleone Family name and power. With one swift, brutal and tactical maneuver he earned the name of Don

In the book Michael had only Tattalgia and Barzinni killed along with Fabrizzio the traitor who killed Appolonia and Moe Greene.

best ending to a movie

They put holes on the wrong side of barzini😂

Those two guys smashing in the door and filling that guy and his Goomah with bullets is the coldest most gangster shit ever.

Last year I was chosen to be my nephew's Godfather and this scene came to my mind, I pictured myself as Michael 😂😂😂😂

"Hello Carlo."

Now imagine if this was an Orthodox baptism where they dunk the child's head repeatedly in the water.

Priest (instead of speaking Latin): "Where's the money Lebowski? Bunny says you're good for it. Where's the f**king money you sh**head!!!"

Quite possibly the greatest scene in film history

claiming to denounce the devil, while doing the devil‘s work, thou shal not murder, can’t think of a more blasphemous scene to God

😘😘👍

It has been a while since I saw this movie so I want to ask: How did Michael get away with this while his father was always politically careful to the max?

I think I read that the baby here is Sofia Coppola

This was the definitive transformation of Michael from an outsider and becoming the ruthless corleone crime boss.

Barzini's death was probably a nod to a similar scene in Little Caesar.

Michael: Amen 🙏

Do you renounce Satan? Yes. (not really)

Can’t believe that they ripped this off from Modern Family

My favourite part

Modern family did it better

Garbage story
Garbage way of life

Amen

This is exactly what will be happening while Donald Trump is being sworn in. (AGAIN)

I do

The part at the end, when Michael is told it’s been taken care of. He then looks at Carlo like he’s saved the best for last. 😂

Micheal was a real gangster: calm and never lost his cool.

Michael said more blood was going to spill.

What boss in the history of cinema can fuck with Michael Corleone

That score is absolutely chilling.

And he wasn’t marked after all this

I think i am the baby in this scene

how was Peter Clemenza still so fit and assassinating people himself where as Vito died a natural death in an old age, since both of them were of same age in godfather 2

Walter White: "Now there's an idea..."

why the fuck would you interpolate the godfather

one of the greatest montage ever.

A masterpiece of a scene. This really encapsulated the whole build up of the entire movie and the ascent of Michael’s power. Renouncing satan while committing mass murder is some power play stuff

Hard to believer this film is 51 years old.

that man was moe green and the city he invented was las vegas

Very first role of Sofia Coppola (she is the baptised baby)...

Does anyone knows the name of the church music in this scene? from the bigining?

My prayers that this be reminiscent of Trump’s 2025 Inaugural Address.

Al Neri was a cop who became a Mob hitman. Brilliant storyline.

One of the greatest scenes ever in the history of cinema...
