He doesn't murder people outside of "the game". He doesn't relish in the suffering of other human beings. He doesn't rape people.

"Save your anger, save it. When you're old enough, and the time is right, you will take your revenge" This quote from the Godfather's game is one of Vito's most underrated. You can tell he, while comforting the protagonist, is seeing at that moment the sicilian boy who lost his family in 1901

Vito is a sanitised representation of the "virtues" of the mafia, embodying all of the mythology it has developed about itself, its lofty principles of honour, loyalty, pride, respect, etc. We see that greed was never his motivation. He gained his Godfather status through purely defensive violence against vile and powerful extortionists. He learned in Sicily that society's official laws and government won't protect ordinary people, and he sees the exact same corruption in New York. So he stands up to protect himself with violence, and eventually extends his umbrella of strength and influence to his friends and neighbours. Through some petty crime, he wins the respect and loyalty of tough guys and criminals. They follow him for his generosity, integrity, wisdom and cunning rather than intimidation or money. All the Corleone violence is done in service of the greater good: expanding and enforcing the sphere of influence of this deeply virtuous man. He reciprocates the loyalty of those who follow him. He shares opportunities with them and spares them hardships. It becomes a matter of ethnic pride and solidarity. The neighbourhood extend voluntary payments to him in gratitude and respect for his protection and friendship, in contrast to the threats inherent in 'protection' rackets of others. Even all of his ambitious plots against rivals and the expansionist violence is explained away as him building a calming control over a chaotic and bloody criminal underworld. The streets are peaceful and his reign is progressive, reasonable and conciliatory. But even this most virtuous man cannot contain and manipulate these dark forces forever to his benign ends. The evils (greed, amibition, jealousy, paranoia, violence) that he plunged his family into ends up ripping it apart over several generations. It begins to fall apart during his reign, with the Sollozzo conflict. And then after his death, the whole empire is now in the hands of someone without all of Vito's golden qualities. Even his superhuman vision, virtues, strategic mind, etc was not enough to escape the consequences of the evils he pursued.

The tragedy of Vito is that he lived to see his family fall apart. His actions led to wealth and power, but got Sonny killed.

Michael not only followed his path but ended up being such a monster that he violated Vito's principles by doing things like killing his own brother. Sure Vita was dead by this point but again he inadvertently created a monster that destroyed his legacy.

My guy you have been putting out some bangers lately! Don Vito Corleone is one of the greatest, if not the greatest character to be put on screen. A powerful figurehead of an incredibly sinister business organization. Yet his sense of honor, integrity, loyalty and fairness; make him a more complex personality and helped lionize the Mafia in America. Kudos sir! I’d like to see one on another famous film character; Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane. That or the themes from the Japanese classic “Rashomon”.

I always felt the line he gave in part 1, “ I swear on my grandchildren…” about keeping the peace was the reason for his granddaughter dying.

When The Godfather came out in book form, my dad was a librarian in Long Beach, NY. He said that they couldn't keep it on the shelf and the waiting list was huge. More so than any other book he saw over the course of his career.

One of my favorite examples of irony in the Godfather is the nightmares the Undertaker has after he is helped by Don Corleone. He dreams of Vito coming by with nothing but corpses and telling him to hide away the body. When Vito finally comes to him, he brings his son, not to hide him, but to make him more presentable so mama Corleone wouldn't have to see how bad he looked in death. The writing is extremely mature despite the pulp fiction flavor you get from it. Great vid

Erebus from Warhammer 40K. Might just be the most evil, vile, and universally hated character in fiction. Also, I’d like to see you cover some characters from The Strain, specifically Abraham, The Master, Ephram, and Zach.

Greg is literally a combination of every Seinfeld lead and Tony Soprano. Now I know people are gonna think that's ridiculous to compare Greg to Tony, but when you look at both characters, there's a lot similar about them both. Both have extremely toxic families, have such a warp perception of what being well-respected amongst their peers means, even coming to some types of epiphanies when their logic is put into question. Yet, when they do attempt to seek for any advice on something that they feel they’ve done wrong, they both end up falling victim to their numerous bad habits and behaviors, either due to external forces or their own misinterpretations of the lessons people try to teach both of them, therefore end up failing on taking any steps to change their ways. Now I also with the four Seinfeld leads, I think it's safe to say that what that show was to audiences, is what Diary of a Wimpy Kid was with young avid readers. That being that the series is basically the anti-young adult novel. To put into perspective before 2007, a lot of the average young-adult or children's literature usually tackled the typical teenage tropes you usually see. This is even something you'll notice on teen sitcoms too. But usually no matter what these teen characters got up to, they often found their way through it, with the help of their friends/family. With their stories ending on a general lesson for us (the audience) could walk away with. But then there's Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Including Greg himself, a lot of the characters are inconsiderate, ignorant, self-centered, narcissistic, or even sociopathic, like on Seinfeld. Almost nobody ever changes, including Greg. The fiascos that either he or his family get themselves in are usually brought about by their own egos and selfishness. And in almost each of the books, they usually don't end with a general life lesson. Yet, I'd argue that was meant to be the point, both the creators of Seinfeld and Wimpy Kid were trying to make. As because each had characters you shouldn't like, it doesn't matter if you don't like them. In fact, it'd be more funny if you didn't. You could say that Diary of Wimpy Kid, is meant to be a satirical look at traditional teen literature of the past. THE ANTI-YOUNG ADULT SERIES.

Happy leap day vile! Thanks For this! Just binged michael! As vito would say: Life is so beautiful

This is one of your best analyzing evil yet. The end truly gave me chills

Ohh thank you for this!!! 😍😍

The Paramount copyright claims are unfortunat, but it also had a positive effect on the video (at least for me): Because of the combination of the few pictures of the movie & your voice over narrative, the whole video had an "audiobook vibe", which I really liked. Altough I watched the Godfather Movies endless times and also read Mario Puzo's book multiple times, your video was a whole new experience of the story. Instead of watching the screen the whole time during the video, I just took the occasional look and because of that and your excellent narration, it formed a whole new experience of this story for me. It was more of an individual experience, because it wasnt the well known movie and instead more of "head cinema", formed through your narration, memories of the movies and the book. That doesn't mean that i dislike your "usual videos" - far from it-, but this video was an unexpected , really enjoyful experience. maybe you found something special for your channel with that through accident, which you can use for videos in the future. Anyway....keep the good work up :)

It's wild to think the first film is now OVER 50 years old and the other works since then that can equal or surpass it are extremely few and far between. A true testament to quality story, characters and everything even vaguely related.

Brando’s style was to almost underplay the character to an amazing restraint. But I still must say that one must be covered is Nina Meyers from “24.” To me one of if not the greatest tv baddie!

Vito Corleone was the Alexander of the criminal underworld. A truly Great man and leader who built himself an empire, elevated his family to riches he as a child could have only dreamed of and made themselves THE powerbase in the crime infested world of early 20th century America But like all Great leaders he paid a price for that power and wealth. And just like men like Alexander that price would come back to bite his children, his grandchildren and his empire many years after his passing. And like all empires, the Corleone Empire had its high points, it had its low points, and it had its end on the steps of an opera, the blood of the very family he sought to serve and lift up paying for his actions

👏Dude WELL SAID...Bravo!!!

I’ve given it a like 1/10th of a second in. That intro was excellent!

Finally! Now I can rest peacefully, that my most awaited character has been covered. Little question would you consider doing Napoleon from Animal Farm?

Was Just watching the sopranos, When The Vile Eye made a video, *Cough* I mean...An offer I couldn't refuse. Stay golden fam.

Look how they massacred my boy" Vito will forever be the best don ever put in film and book form

One of the greatest pieces of acting ever

Vito is the perfect example of an "honorable criminal" There's no denying that he's either done or facilitated truly awful things, but never that which unneccesary or pointlessly cruel. He treated his associates and friends with respect, so long as he and his family were also respected, he traded favors instead of money outright, he was actively against his family selling drugs and he *always* kept his word; hence why he chooses each wisely. Its also interesting to think about how, if you were in his shoes, witnessing the things he did and being forced to live in the conditions he lived in, that you might become *just like him* in order to survive and thrive. That, and the fact that he lived long enough to see his family torn apart by the rivalries and grievances his lifestyle created really makes you feel just a bit bad for him ( Sonny is murdered, Fredo is separated from anything vital due to being so weak willed and Michael becoming the next don, despite the potential he had for a legitimate and honest life)

His actions overall are categorised as evil. His mind in moral is fair. In terms of society his actions are evil. Human nature is very much Vito’s character

The funny thing is had Vito been born 400 years earlier he'd be a beloved king or lord.

​@@OldWestGunslinger-vs9mx ??? A peasant trying to gain power by criminal means? He wouldve been hanged or at best enslaved, week into his "career", proof of guilt or no proof. Wtf you think was a career path of a peasant in these times?... answer is NONE, he wouldve been plowing the field until he died of old age of 48.

@alcidesprieto1967 I'm talking about how he conducts himself & runs things.

Honestly, screenshots instead of movie clips is just fine. I mostly focus on your words anyway so if this format is less risky for you I say stick with this. Wonderful to see you in the beginning too. Take care and thank you for your content.

Thank you for your hard work on this channel 🥇

Let's be honest here, Vito Corleone was more noble and fair than most of the self made billionaires in history

One of my favorite movies and characters. Well done analysis as always Vile🖤

Those last few words were beautifully put together

Luv the intro as soon as Vito about to talk. Perfect timing as usual

Hey! Nice to actually see you for a change! Love your vids, man! All very insightful!

Daaaaaaaaamn! I know what I'm watching as soon as I'm off work.

I just got done watching the trilogy last night funny this should be in my feed today

Your channel is excellent, your analyses are mostly spot-on and reveal so much nuance and insight. I waited and waited for you to finally make the video about the, for me, best “evil” character in the best movie of all time. And once this came, you didn’t disappoint. Don Corleone’s video could never be a 20 minute one. Thanks for your content man, thanks.

Heck yeah! What a terrific episode! The Godfather series is one of the most iconic in all of cinema, and so are its characters. On the topic of gangsters, could an analysis on Jason “Buddy” Van Horn or Doc from Baby Driver?

Vito wasn’t a mob boss, He was a goddamn tyrant!!!!!

Well not just a tyrant, he was a tyrant who knew how to negotiate with people with a sense of amiability. A deceptively dangerous combination

I enjoy your work. You always help me understand deeper things about characters I’ve watched for years. Not sure what your background is but your articulation is spot on

Paulie Walnuts Gualtieri (Tony Sirico) from the Sopranos

Finally. Nice job man 💜😎👏

You gotta love when a Multi Billion dollar company is afraid that a comparatively small KZread channel might dip into it's profit margins by posting short clips of a half century old movie. And by love, I mean groan and roll your eyes at this emerging dystopian hellscape

You should go and see their CEO and offer hima thousand dollars for the contract;;if he refuses a offer him a dollar if he doesn't understand the situation ggo and see him with Luca Brassi😂

I applaud you for the care and details that you pour into each and every review. You go into such depth that brings understanding to the art that was created. I pray that one day the movie studios realize that channels like yours doesn't steal from them, it ignites or reignites a desire to go watch a movie or show that you've covered. Personally speaking, I've been inspired to go watch something that I either never heard of or thought about (re)watching after watching one of these. Not every one, but enough for it bother me when I heard you had to take the original down. By the way my friend, please continue the great work that you have started.

This the one we've been waiting for!

Suggestions: 1. Lavos (Chrono Trigger) 2. Xehanort (Kingdom Hearts) 3. Sephiroth (Final Fantasy 7) 4. Dr. Wily (Mega Man) 5. Naraku (Inuyasha) 6. Younger Toguro (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Love this channel. Soon as i saw you'd done a Corleone video over an hour long i knew i was in for a treat! Great work, keep it up!!

I must say that your choice of subjects is, as always, brilliant.

I’m not a big fan of this new style of you showing your face. I like the voice gives out a feeling of being eerie.

Vito is The definition of “the best out of the worst “

This already a banger

I've been waiting for this ever since I discovered your channel.

Great overview of this character, thorough, insightful, respectful, and very well written! Great work!

probably your greatest analysis to date. simply magnificent.

Love your work !! Just rewatched the Godfather and Godfather II so this will be a great watch with my dinner tonight :)

That last line gave me a shiver. Great breakdown.

I do enjoy your work, and this one is exceptional. Thank you for what you do.

This is the one I’ve been waiting on 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

Really excited to watch this one. Thanks for the content

That was a great episode. Very insightful. Keep up the good work!

This was a real pleasure to listen to thank you for your hard work my friend 👍👍

Great narration

Been a fan for a long time and I genuinely like your videos because I can see the amount of effort you put into them. Definitely one of my favorite youtube channels, keep up the good work brother 🍻

Fantastic as always, Bravo and thank you for your phenomenal content! I very much look forward to Mason Verger getting a video in the future!!!
