Gary Giaimo

One of the greatest movies of all time receiving one of the greatest reactions of all time! As an Italian-American, this is a very important movie for my family and it's certainly been a cinematic staple my entire life. I saw it for the first time when I was 13 or 14, and I loved it then and have only grown to love it more as I've grown up and gotten older. So to watch this reaction and have it be SO entertaining was a very satisfying experience, and I thank you for it. You two never fail to deliver! I watch a lot of reactors and you two are by far my favorite, and that only solidifies with every new watch along. Such a great time!

Gary Giaimo

Oh, as for Marlon Brando, along with this movie, his two iconic performances as a younger man are A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront. While I prefer the latter as both a movie and a display of performance, both films are definitely worth seeing. I don't know what your experience is with "classic cinema," but Brando was a level above his peers, basically inventing the internal hyper-realistic performance that is so common among the greats today. You can even see the shifts in legends like Paul Newman from how he acted prior to Brando to how he acted after. Brando was a true pioneer, way ahead of his time. The Godfather was considered a big comeback for him, as his star had started to dwindle by this time, and that same year he released Last Tango in Paris, which is a pretty controversial film, but the two 1972 performances certainly reveal his range in spectacular fashion. There are other performances of his that are notable (i.e. Apocalypse Now, Julius Caesar, Guys and Dolls), but he was a pretty eccentric dude, and by Superman, he'd all but given up and was reading his lines from cue cards that lingered just off-camera. A "late-period" performance that I would point out is The Freshman, which is just a lot of fun for fans of Brando and, in particular, his performance in this movie.

I thought you guys might recognize 'Gazzo' from Rocky in this. He was part of Michael's crew at the end, he took the guy out in the turnstile revolving door. He's very suspicious you know;) Some Al Pacino movies to consider: Dog Day Afternoon(1975) Scarface(1983) Carlito's Way(1993)

Totally Whatever

Wow, Gary! Knowing we're your favorite reactors makes our day. Thank you for the kind words.

Hello ladies nice reaction. Vito Corleon knew if he would have another “Bosses” meeting with the other families after his assassination one of them will show his cards; Barzini as mentioned in the movie and you Nanette and Carolyn were you two were suspicious in the last meeting were they both “shook hands” in the middle of every Boss. Also Micheal being “thunderbolt” in love and marrying Apollonia in Sicily significantly tells you Micheal was in love with his father’s culture as well.

Totally Whatever

We might have to break our 70s, 80s, and 90s rule to see one of his early performances.

Totally Whatever

Oh darn, we missed him! Thanks for the Al Pacino suggestions.

Totally Whatever

Thanks, glad you liked it. Great point about Michael's love for Apollonia, highlighting his connection to his father's culture.

Michael Lynch

You didn’t recognize this guy. Joe Spinell, the guy that plays the lone shark in Rocky that’s Stallone works for. He’s one of the guys protecting the family. When they approach Tessio at the end for setting up the meeting, he’s one of the people surrounding him

Shawn Goforth

I would agree that On the Waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire would be the biggest early essential Brando films. They are both on the AFI Top 100 American films list. For something a little different, I would also recommend his performance in Guys & Dolls (1955), where he gets to play opposite Frank Sinatra as Sky Masterson, singing Luck be a Lady.

REDR58

He's also getting a shave before waiting for the mobster he locks in the rotating doors and kills.

Joe Spinell (Gazzo, "WIllie Cicci" in this movie) will also show up in The Godfather Part II, so look for him there.

Brando was only 47 when the movie was made. The character is shown to be between 53 and 63. Brando had cotton stuffed in his cheeks and makeup, hair coloring and wigs made him look older than 47. Singer Johnny Fontane is played by Al Martino who was a real singer from Philadelphia. Yes Luca Brasi who clumsily thanked the Godfather was the guy who got strangled. Earlier you saw him putting on a bulletproof vest at his apartment and then of course it's used to hold the fish Yes that was Sonny’s wife in his apartment who was at the wedding earlier when he told her to watch the kids from running around and then doing the "size comparison" at the table. Sonny was cheating on her with a bridesmaid at the wedding. Tom was being held in an old diner during the assassination attempt of the Vito. There was a Christmas tree lot outside. It’s ironic that Clemenza refers to Mike as a “civilian” when in reality he was the only one to actually join the military during WW2. But of course they’re using civilian in the sense of "not a mobster"! “Enzo the Baker” who comes to the hospital with the flowers is the young man who eventually became the son-in-law of the baker Nazorine who had made the wedding cake and who was asking for help to stay in the country after getting his daughter pregnant It’s funny that there is a thunderstorm around Christmas at the hospital, especially in the Northeast... Corrado Gaipa who played Don Tommasino the man in the wheelchair who was watching over Michael in Sicily really did use a cane and wheelchair in his personal life. The reason for why the character uses the wheelchair will be seen later... I found a translation of what was spoken in the untranslated scene in the restaurant. Who knows how accurate it is, so take it for what you will: SOLLOZZO: “I’m sorry…” MICHAEL: “Leave it alone.” ( or ) “Forget about it.” SOLLOZZO: “What happened to your father was business. I have much respect for your father. But your father, his thinking is old-fashioned. You must understand why I had to do that.” MICHAEL: “I understand those things…” [Waiter brings McCluskey's veal, then exits.] SOLLOZZO: “Now let’s work through where we go from here.” MICHAEL: “How do you say… ?” [Then Michael returns to speaking English.] [After Michael returns from the bathroom] SOLLOZZO: “Everything all right? I respect myself, understand, and cannot allow another man to hold me back. What happened was unavoidable. I had the unspoken support of the other Family dons. If your father were in better health, without his eldest son running things, no disrespect intended, we wouldn’t have this nonsense. We will stop fighting until your father is well and can resume bargaining. No vengeance will be taken. We will have peace, but your Family should interfere no longer.” ***** Great reaction! On to the next one!

Michael Lynch

Yeah, I noticed that too. I just only wanted to give them one example.

Totally Whatever

Nanette is a bit of a theater nerd, so she has seen Streetcar and Guys & Dolls on stage - but not the film versions.

Totally Whatever

Wow, thanks for answering all of our questions. Can't believe that Brando was only 47 when he shot this. We are especially grateful for the translation!

Shawn Goforth

I am too. That's great to know, thank you. I'll keep it in mind.

Joseph George

Last time I saw this was for the 50th, 3 years ago. Great reactions to everything. Pretty much all the questions have been answered by others here.

bahstuffandnonsense

Awesome reaction as always, fwiw this is a movie with a famously dense plot and you thought your way along with it better than most! One of many things I love about this film is that for the first hour or so you aren't sure *whose* story it really is - for me it's when the camera pushes in on Michael leading up to "Then I'll kill them both" that we realize for certain this is Michael's story. I always find myself in the same position with each rewatch, rooting for him to come out on top and then at the end realizing what Michael has become - among many other things a man willing to cruelly gaslight his wife, who does truly love him. Before embarking on part 2 I would definitely recommend taking another run through part 1, the sequel is even more intricate and several minor elements from part 1 take on new importance. My two cents on Part 3 is that it's a solid movie on its own despite some well-known problems, so you probably have to see it, but I feel like the end of Part 2 is the better ending, kinda like the Alien franchise honestly! I'm so happy that after starting with great 70s thrillers (The Exorcist, Halloween, Alien, Jaws) you are moving into the great dramas - it was truly a golden age. I'll quickly plug a few: Chinatown (1974), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), Network (1976). Thanks again!

Totally Whatever

Thank you! We did our best to keep up with it. It seems like we might need to watch part 2 with notes.

Shawn Goforth

I have found over the years that the DVD for Part 3 makes a great coaster, while rewatching the first two.

Anthony Donato

Great reaction young ladies. Gary's suggestion for The Freshman is a hoot... I think you ladies would enjoy the movie.

Anthony Donato

Another great reaction young ladies. Gary Giaimo suggestion for The Freshman is a very fun movie, I think you both would enjoy it.

Chryss Guiler

Thoroughly enjoyed this, ladies! Looking forward to part 2, where we learn a bit of the family's history.

Clay F

Great reaction you two.
