Michael is correct in that Coppola did it since he was in poor financial states at the end of the 80's and a new Godfather film was an easy paycheck. Then Paramount gave him and Puzo only six weeks to write the script and it shows in the final product. There's too many plot threads to keep track of and the rest of the time, the film just seems content to reference the earlier films. The film has some good moments (Michael's confession to the priest, reminiscing about his 1st wife in Sicily), but overall it's a huge disappointment like the Star Wars sequel trilogy is to its predecessors.

@doublep1980

The production of Part 3 was an absolute shitshow,which isn't anything new for Coppola (watch the documentary ''Heart of Darkness'' about the desastrous production of ''Apocalypse Now''). Coppola was in financial troubles after a couple of failed movies,Paramount pretty much coerced him into making the movie,he didn't want to. They gave him and Mario Puzzo only 1,5 months to write the script. Robert Duvall wanted more money,so Paramount fired him from the project,that's why Tom Hagen isn't in the movie. They had to write his part out of the movie. Several actresses,who were supposed to play M. Corleone's daughter,dropped out of the movie due to various reasons (Winona Ryder got seriously sick right before starting shooting and was hospitalised) so Coppola cast his daughter Sofia,who couldn't act to save her life.(she's a talented director though,''Lost in Translation'' is a cool movie.)

That movie is a masterpiece and will remain so throughout history.

My great grandfather was Sicilian - our family surnames are "Giglia" and "Smiroldo" - and our ancestral hometown is Antillo (Messina) which is the sister town of Savoca, where the famous cafe scene in the village was filmed. The wedding too. I love Sicily, and when I visited there as a teen I found it be gorgeous, especially the Messina coastline. I also love Sicilian cuisine, which favors seafood in many parts. When people take the time to know Sicilian people they realize they are warm, humorous and really smart people. I know the Blessed Virgin Mary holds a special place in the hearts of the Messina people. God bless you all. Remember, just be yourself, know that you are forgiven by the glorious blood of Jesus Christ, enjoy a plate of pasta (not too big), and smile - oh, hug someone too !!! Take care.

If he had said Joe Colombo put a horse's head in Francis Ford Coppola's bed, I would have pissed myself laughing.

My KZread gave me a recommendation I could not refuse

The biggest reason The Godfather feels so authentic is because Mario Puzo, the author of the book published in 1969, was an Italian-American born and raised in New York City during the prohibition era. He also co-wrote the script with Francis Ford Coppola, making the transition from book to film so smooth and effective. Puzo put a lot of his personal self into Michael Corleone. Michael was born in 1920 and served in the Marines during World War 2. Puzo, in real life, was also born in 1920 and also served in World War 2, though it was for the US Army Air Forces. And while he never associated himself with any mob family, Puzo almost certainly had some personal knowledge of the mafia, having grown up in the heart of New York City during the 1920s and 1930s. As great as the movie is, I personally think the book is even better. I highly recommend anyone who has yet to read it to buy a copy.

I just stumbled on michaels page, I've been binging through all his videos, truly a fascinating person. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your stories 🙏

You’re probably one of the greatest youtuber on this app. I wish the well for you and your family. Love from Italy❤️

Prayers for your daughter’s speedy recovery!

This man has a suite for every room...

Man I just discovered your channel and I love the content. I love listening to you break down these movies.

I've done heavy research into the different mobs and different people involved in the life. I must say I absolutely love listening to you talk while I'm doing housework.

Four days ago would've been the 100th birthday of Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather book, as well as the co-writer of all three movies.

I pray for Amanda's health and speedy recovery. James Caan,, my favorite Jewish Cowboy, went to the trial of Andrew Russo. He told the media that he was a friend and was there to support his good friend. That's the way people should behave with a long time friend.

Another great video, thank you Michael. I could listen to you talk about this stuff for hours. Best wishes to your daughter and family. Respect

I just realized you released this back when I turned 19 (5 months late to say I know), I also hope your daughter is alright and doing well. I also want to say thank you for sharing your mob stories I find them very fascinating and engaging to listen to.

While not a traditional "mob" movie, I'd love to see you review Scarface!

Wish there are more people like you giving perspectives on age-old stereotypes without instigating hate and division.

Sir, you have a fantastic knack for taking any event and making it a story worth telling. For example, your story about how you got The Godfather book. We are enjoying your channel, your style, and your stories. Have a great Thanksgiving!

I love Micheal's speeches on MOB life, it's the stuff I'd like to talk to my friends, siblings and others, because it's very intresting. Really good to have you in this community, Micheal.

Prayers and thoughts for your daughter, my brother in Christ! May His healing hand be upon her tomorrow and in her recovery.

Great speaker and just the most respectful guy I’ve heard speak

Michael I've seen your other videos too and now it reached to a point I nned to tell you : ) that you are really good at explaining things , clarity, word constrution , expression accuracy, honestly , if teachers in school could in such way present their teaching learning would be easier and more interesting. Its really interesting to listen to you , so I thank you for your time and effort, all the best to you and your family.

My thought and Prayers are with your daughter, and yourself, as well as friends and family. Best wishes on a full and speedy recovery

@@krh626 I agree. Joe was one of the greatest actors of Crime Movies . But He was Always The funny guy which is cool and give amazing role in the movies .especially goodfellas . But for Godfather Nop . That's not his type

I'm floored that Luca Brazzi was portrayed by an actual wiseguy!

Michael my prayers & blessings that the surgery went well with you’re daughter.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Sending my best wishes.

I absolutely love this guy. He's doing so well still, and inspiring others. Like I'm off to jail for a few years but honestly I'm happy because I'm finally awake. I'm leaving old associates behind and moving on. Seeing this guy doing so well and spreading positivity is inspiring. I already feel like I've begun my journey but I have the obstacle of prison to overcome but once that's over I'm completely free, and I don't mean just from prison

I watch these movies every year, my favourite scene is when Michael kisses fredo and says: "i know it was you Fredo, you broke my heart" such a powerful scene...

Micheal and your family, I hope the speediest recovery for your daughter and I hope she has a speedy recovery. Take care from across the pond. My hand my heart. Be strong, and I hope your prayers and thoughts are carried.

Bless you brother. I just discovered your channel...I am praying your daughter is doing well and I hope your entire family is well also. I just literally found this channel 16 mins ago so I am literally right now praying everything worked out. I have a young daughter as well who is my entire world so my heart is with you. Your sincerity and love for your family is apparent as is your love and hope in God. Know that I a stranger am sincerely praying to that same God for you your daughter and your entire family's well being and happiness. God bless you 🙏.

I can listen for hours to Michael. Great (story) teller. Much respect, keep up the good work - shout out from Holland!

Hi Michael, I’m a newly subbed and really enjoyed hearing these fun facts. Being from California we don’t always get to hear about things like that. Sending prayers for your daughters surgery and hope all is well. 🙏👍

Watched most of your sitdowns and Interviews that are out there !! I'm a big fan of your work 👏 all the best in your work and family life , from Glasgow, Scotland 👌✌

Speaking as a film major, Mr. Franzese dropped some gems 💎 I can appreciate. Thank you 🙏

Prayers, postive vibes, and healing wishes sent to your daughter...

Michael our prayers for a safe, and healthy recovery for your daughter, God Bless.

It can't be just me.. I could listen (watch) to hours of Mr Franzese discuss his take on anything. I am always captivated. Saluti

Prayers for her, I hope her surgery goes well, much love and respect Micheal

Michael, for Mob Movie Monday I'd love to see you review The Road To Perdition.

I love that black pumpkin next to you. Never seen one like that before.

First, I'm sending prayers for your daughter. May God bless. Second, you are a terrific speaker and i would gladly sit through a couple of hours listening to you. I had the opportunity to meet the retired head of a family when i was a younger man. He was Sicilian and commanded so much respect. He reminded of Vito in a way. I was young and dumb and had no real reason to fear him. But the respect just seemed to come naturally. It's kind of hard to explain.

Just watching this. Prayers to your daughter and hoped she had a speedy recover!!

This video is an offer I couldn’t refuse

Michael, can you do "road to perdition" from 2002 next please? it's back in the 20's and 30's i believe and it has tom hanks, jude law, daniel craig and a few others. it's a great one, i think you'll like it design wise, not sure how you'll like it on realism.
