How Machiavellian was Michael Corleone?

In this episode we will evaluate how Machiavellian Michael Corleone was by comparing his actions with those recommended by The Prince, starting with his rise to power in the first movie, into the second movie where the first real crack in his Machiavellian persona begins to appear, through the third movie where many of the ironies about the fact that The Prince is so highly regarded in that life come to light.

    That would actually be interesting. Highlighting all his mistakes and explaining how they could’ve been avoided.

    Michael was more Sun Tzu-vian than Machiavelli and Sun Tzu would dwarf Mach in strategy alone.

    Sun Tzu was a military strategist and Machiavelli is a political strategist, you're comparing apples to oranges

    Splendid video. Was waiting for this video. I have a request. Could you please do a character analysis on Clay Davis. I believe that to an extent he has Machiavellian traits (it could even be a Machiavellian Monday episode instead) and always manages to win in the end even when the odds are stacked against him. I would love to get your intake on that. Thanks.

    As far as Im aware, they aren't making another godfather anytime soon. If you have an hour long doc on the movies and books with poignant insights as related to the game of power, bring it... Btw, "I admire your pictures very much"
