"Michael used what he learned in the Marines"... Its not mentioned in the movie, but Michael had combat experience against the Japanese. In the book there is a passage where he reflected on the sense of relief he felt leaving Saipan island after being wounded. He also is depicted as a Captain in rank. To explain a bit: 1. Saipan was one of the larger and bloodier of the Pacific island battles. 2. Its unlikely Micheal would have been wounded had he been a officer in the rear echelon. Odds are he had been in a rifle company. 3. He reached the rank of captain in less than three years. That also suggests he had been in a Marine combat unit. Promotions came fast in those units due to high casualties among the officers. One of the mistakes of McClusky and the others is they assumed Micheal was a young college kid without experience in violence. If my reading of the hints are correct they were actually dealing with a very well trained combat veteran, who had seen more killing in a few days of war than McClusky or Sollozo had seen in their life to this point.

Another great video explaining the consummate brilliance of Michael Corleone. In the words of Mario Puzo, "Truly his fathers son." Barzini and Tattaglia were smoke screened, conned and snow jobbed by Michael. All because they foolishly believed that Michael was unfit to be a Don. Were they so foolish to believe that Vito Corleone would hand the reins to his son blindly. In Puzos words Vito would never have retired if he didn't believe Michael could retrieve the family position. He not only relieved it, he left a trail of dead men in his wake. By revealing nothing, Michael ended up with everything. False hubris and ego are fatal in the world they inhabit. No man ever hid his true strength from his enemy's gaze like Don Michael Corleone. As true as Master of Deception as Lucifer himself.

Michael said that the Corleone family had to insist that the meeting with Solozzo be "someplace public". A restaurant, a bar", where he would "feel safe". Sollozzo wanted Michael to rep. the Corleone family at the meeting, as it days in the book, they thought he was "faggy".

This might have been mentioned already but I have not checked every comment. One thing to note here is that both Vito and Michael are younger sons. In both cases their older/eldest brother was more hotheaded and ended up gunned down. I think there is inherent advantage in such families of being the younger son. Nobody expects them to inherit so they get to observe without really being involved. They also learn the art of concealing their thoughts. History has numerous examples of this. In England alone there are: Henry I; John I; Richard III; Henry VIII; Elizabeth I; George V; George VI. Not all were 'successful' monarchs but they shared certain characteristics in common, much like Michael and Vito.

I use all these rules on my Dog but he still outsmarts me

I think I need to watch The Godfather again ( probably the 30th time) to see about two things. 1) The Corleone’s knew which restaurant Michael would meet Sollazo , but Sollazo didn’t know they knew. Their car did a U turn to look as if he was trying to confuse Michael. How did the Corleones know where Michael was going? 2) As Michael was a war veteran, why did he not know how to use a handgun- or was it more specific training he needed from Clemenza on use in a murder? I’d be grateful for any answers!

An interesting character is Tessio. Long time friend and accomplice of Vito, he sets up the assassination of Sollozo and the police Captain. But then turns against Michael after the Don dies, stating it was only business.

The Godfather is a very bold attempt and first of its kind. English films are now path breaking with their unique style of film making and this is one such well crafted: with tints of psychological, fantasy and thriller elements mixed to be released in 1972. Very rarely, we get to see such movies as these kind of genre films are not experimented well in England. Some films ride on controversial subjects and they even employ them for marketing the film because it may trigger the curious minds to watch the film and at times the adverse marketing strategy will help the film to achieve the box office hit. Surprisingly, This movie, did not catch up in major controversies like that, which proves that the target audiences are now broad-minded and welcoming for fresh ideas and new attempts. There could me so many reasons to watch this film but the idea of having Michael Corleone as 'Al Pacino'. Al in the lead role is just enough to watch this flick. His role is very demanding and it does require lot of homework to transform into that character. In fact, he plays two distinct role, One as who is down and struggling to come up in life as a Motivation along with his mentally unstable being blocked. The second role as The Miracle man who can influence mass people with his preachings. Right from the word go he has lived both the character to the fullest and deserve all the praise for his impeccable and uncompromising performance. We cannot imagine any other actor in this role. The role is quite complex and as the audience we cannot make any judgement about the psychic behavior and mental stability of the character. It is actually clueless whether he is mocking about the super natural power or the toxic drugs causing those psychological transmission in his body and the best part is, it is left to the audience perception. Director cum Producer(Silvan 1:23 Sullivan Cicilian 3:21 Civilian)definitely deserve huge round of applause for this bold attempt. Ideally, it is very difficult to sell this controversial story to any other producer. Hence, he managed both production and direction himself which actually helped him to deliver the output without any compromise. It is not very easy to touch upon the commercial aspects.

He also was a decorated marine officer.

Thanks You people

The fact that Scorsese thought about all of this is extraordinary.

What is the music in the beginning of this video your using, who is it?

I like your breakdowns, but I feel you leave a lot of background on the Andolini Family (nee/ Corleone) on the cutting floor. To the Andolini's, getting revenge (or to die trying) is what their family is known for. Vito's father Antonio (Michael's grandfather) was killed in Sicily by Don Ciccio (probably revenge related, as in 1901, the Mafia would have been very prominent in its birthplace of Sicily); Vito's brother, Paolo (Michael's uncle) swore revenge and was killed during his father's funeral. Vito's mother tried to beg mercy for Vito and was shotgunned in front of him while holding a knife on Don Ciccio so Vito could escape. Don Tommasino smuggled him out of town, but 20 years later, he came back to get his revenge. Before that, he got revenge on Fanucci for putting him out of a job and stealing his heard earned criminal profits. Sonny got revenge on anybody who tried him. Fredo was sickly, simple, weak and barely made it out of childhood, (truthfully, the Don might not have been so tempted to go into crime so easily with Clemenza if Fredo hadn't been sick with pneumonia, but that's another discussion), but even he took his misguided revenge against Michael for leapfrogging him into the Don's chair ("I'm smaaaht! And I want respekt!). Connie took her revenge as well by ratting out Carlo to Sonny, flaunting Merle, and making cannolis for Don Altobello. The lesson is--Never cross an Andolini/Corleone because they will not let that shit slide. So when Michael enters the restaurant, he's got some Andolini/Corleone style revenge in mind. Against Solozzo, for having the audacity to gun down his father for a business advantage; against McCluskey for having the audacity to break his face and be part of the protection racket. They think Michael is meek and not in "la business" of getting away with murder. Solozzo knows Michael isn't a "made" guy (meaning he has not been officially initiated into the Mafia gang through a murder of his own, thereby binding him to the others through death or demonstrating the willingness to murder), so he thinks he'll be intimidated and scared, but he doesn't know that Michael, a former WWII soldier who survived the Pacific, has probably killed more guys himself than all the Mafia dons and families combined. McCluskey is clueless and just thinks Michael is a spoiled punk. Michael, who has so publicly rejected his father and his business, will now "make his bones" (by committing his first murder on behalf of the family and become eligible for initiation), comes to the final realization that this has always been his destiny because the pezzanovante are stupid and Andolinis ALWAYS GET REVENGE. All who cross him must die or wish for death. Tessio--dead; Barzini, Cuneo, Stracchi, Tataglia--dead; Carlo Rizzi--dead; Moe Green--dead; Senator Geary--pwned like a dick in a back pocket; Johnny Olla--dead; Hyman Roth--dead, and, sadly; Fredo--dead.

Enjoyed and wanted to take these points in enough to watch this several times. The points are well taken and I better get Sun Tzu's book. Yes, deception is essential to overcoming the odds. Consider Hannibal, who was always outnumbered, but through deception, beating the Roman's every time in battle, on their home turf. Same strategy applies to the invasion of Normandy where extensive deception was essential for success; same in sports, where game-breaking plays often come about as a complete surprise. Raw quarterback ability won't win many games without proficient deception; all the greats have this. One of Barzini's mistakes was to practically openly declare victory at both the mafia conclave and cemetery scenes, but he had yet another weakness on display ...... his open displays of avarice. With Michael, no such openness of intention was ever seen when he would win as the wars were never over form him. His cards were always kept covered. People would have always seen a certain vulnerability and that is his advantage. In life, the most successful mobsters, Accardo and Gambino, had such skills. We are fortunate to see a very professional actor demonstrate these attributes when teamed up with a master director.

These laws apply to our day to day, friends, family & work. Unfortunately. Power is everything.

r.i.p. to the don luciano. he brought me here to this channel.

I want a slice of Hyman Roths birthday cake…..

Another lesson from the movies is that real men who are confronted with a serious problem don't say "This is terrible, I wish I didn't have to deal with this" and get all stressed out and confused and avoid working on the solution. Instead, they acknowledge the reality of a very bad situation, and then they camly and coldly work on solving the problem, no matter how difficult. Not easy, but the alternative is much worse.

I would like to see an intermediary between Godfather II and the Original where Vito grows his empire. That would be a great movie.

I'd actually be really excited to see a Culture Mafia video on the Olive Oil War...

Nothing better than you walking godly in war. You love God, He is for you. He steps in when you are outnumbered, even in bizarre battles that you are speechless about. Choose not to be evil nor fight evil at their levels. Doing so, opens rightful doors for evil to have their way with you, since you behaved as one of them who opposes themselves by committing evil, commit evil against God.

Question: was mcclusky shot in the throat or head first? It looks like a blood spot appears on his head before he is shot there. Was it just splatter? Does it really matter ?

Let’s go brandon 🍦🍦🍦

True don micheal is

Me, after the 10th time watching The Godfather "Ohhh, THAT'S Barzini."

The author is Robert Green?

As long as there are humans anywhere and power to be had those laws well never be outdated don't forget that ever.

"Owe and own nothing to push back against. Never wear your beliefs on your sleeve. In assuming an impermeable façade of ignorance, poverty, and banality, you blind the enemy to your true strength and intentions." -- Robert B. Baer, author of "The Perfect Kill" "If an injury has to be done to a man, it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared." -- Niccolo Machiavelli

Niccolo Machiavelli! Makes me think that that's where Michael gets it from.

I used to love these movies Tried watching the Blu-ray last night and i couldn't finish it I do wish I could watch it for the first time again We are in need of another good Mafia drama. I prefer tv series like the Sopranos

Michael kept shifting his eyes. That should have tipped off Solazzo.

Is this the guy who narrates simple history ?

Never… NEVER allow anyone to know what you’re thinking.

Only reason don vito got shot was because sonny showed interest in that meeting which meant sollozo takes out vito and makes a deal with sonny but sonny was like fuck that after they shot his father

For me the legendary scene wasnt the Solozzo scene,its the baptism. I mean Michael's likvidations while he renounce satan and Al's face...so much better expression then the Solozzo scene.... Genious!

I wouldn’t say it was Michael’s poker face/not concealing his anger that loosened sollozo’s guard, as much as it was the fact that they had frisked Michael multiple times and didn’t think he had the means of carrying out a hit. I mean Michael was not even listening and couldn’t maintain eye contact towards the end, and I’m sure sollozo would have thought it was fishy.

Killers come with smiles.💯

Sir I love these video's 💯 always right on time ⏲️ 👌 💯 🙌

no one talks about how much Tom Hagen wanted the Corleone's to take the deal, even from the start.

hey man, love this! just wanted to ask if you ever get copyrighted..just out of curiosity. keep up the work 🎉

This is like sword of truth books Wizard rules.first rule people will believe any lie if they are affraid or really want it to be true

Why did Michael tell Fredo that Roth would be murdered soon? Did Fredo prevent the murder? Why did Roth reveal that he was really upset over Mo Green's death?

Micheal was actually in the military , maybe he was underestimated.
