Thank you for reacting to "The Godfather" (1972). For the benefit of those who are familiar with the film, "The Black Stallion" (1979), the composer of that film's soundtrack is Carmine Coppola (Francis' father), and that is Carmine playing the piano in "The Godfather" scene when the Corleone family soldiers 'go to the mattresses'.

Happy Tuesday, Camilla. Your reaction to The Godfather (1972) is the reaction we can't refuse.

This movie is about Michael’s transformation from someone who didn’t want to get involved in the family business to running the family. He is the title character. Some fun facts about the movie: The cat Marlon Brando was petting at the beginning of the movie was a stray who wandered onto the set. Marlon Brando was an animal lover and picked it up to start petting it as they were filming. The actress who played Vito Corleone’s wife was an accomplished singer and released some albums. She sang at the wedding. I forget her name. Marlon Brando’s jowls were done with makeup. I believe he had cotton stuffed into his cheeks. The New York Mafia had direct influence on the movie. They made certain that all mentions of the word Mafia were removed from the script. I can’t remember exactly how they managed it, but they did. The baby in the baptism scene near the end was Sofia Coppola. She is now a famous director and also acted in The Godfather III. She’s a much better director than an actress, in my opinion. Not really related to this movie, but Nicholas Cage’s real name is Nicholas Coppola. He’s related to Francis Ford Coppola, as is Sofia. He changed his name because he didn’t want to make it seem like he was cashing in on the family name. No doubt he had connections that helped, but he wanted to make it on his own. I’m very surprised that this is your first Al Pacino movie, and first Robert Duvall movie as well. I won’t list all of the very good and popular movies they’ve starred in. There are just too many, but those are two very deep and worthwhile rabbit holes to fall into. The Godfather Part II is an excellent movie. Equally as good as this one, if not better. Both movies won the Best Picture Oscar. In my opinion, it’s best to just pretend the third movie doesn’t exist.

So, to clarify a scene that isn't easy to get and appeared to confuse you. When Michael sits down with Carlo and asks him to confess to "that farce with my sister", what he means is that when Carlo's mistress called, Connie picked up, got mad, yelled at Carlo, then Carlo beat her up. It was all planned by Barzini and Carlo so that Sonny's famous temper would get the better of him and he would rush out to kill Carlo, without waiting for his escort. Thus being vulnerable and being killed on the causeway.

Camilla has seen Al Pacino as the movie producer who approaches Leo DiCaprio's character about starring in an Italian western film in, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".

Was waiting for this one, because I haven’t seen too, and feel like I’ve been missing out on classic. Can’t finish it all tonight, but hopefully I can finish tomorrow!

Adding to your comment about the movie's pace. I think it is simultaneously slow and fast. There is no needless scene. There is always something important happening. But at the same time the movie never rushes any scene. It is quite fascinating how they achieve that. You watch a Movie of 3 Hours and it goes by like nothing. There is not much action, but everything is important and improves the story...
