    Enzo the baker, who helped Michael at the hospital, was the same Enzo that The Godfather arranged to stay in America. Enzo didn't have to help Michael, and (even though he was terrified) he stood by Mike. In The Godfather Part III you may notice that the Corleone family never forgot this, and made sure Enzo had a very successful career.

    He had a kind of interesting backstory too. He was an Italian solder during WW2 that was captured by the Allies and came to the US as a POW. He was released temporarily and worked for a baker in New Jersey. When the war was over he would be sent back to Italy but fell in love with the bakers daughter. If he had been caught and arrested helping Michael guarding his father he’d have been deported for breaking the terms of his visa.

    John Cazale, who plays Michael’s brother Fredo in The Godfather I and II, was a brilliant actor and a fascinating human being. He had a tremendous influence on both Al Pacino and Robert De Niro as actors. In his short acting career Cazale was only in five movies, but all five were nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. When he died from lung cancer in 1978 he was only 42 years old. His girlfriend at the time was a young 28 year old actress who for the last nine months of his life dedicated herself to taking care of him. They were very much in love and had planned on getting married. Years later in an interview she said of Cazale, "He wasn't like anybody I'd ever met." She would go on to earn a record 21 Oscar nominations, winning twice for best actress and once for best supporting actress. Her name is Meryl Streep.

    Fun facts: 1. Lenny Montana who plays Luca Brasi was actually a mafia enforcer sent by the Colombo crime family to oversee the filming. Francis Ford Coppola liked Lenny, and so cast him in the role. But he was so nervous when acting around Marlon Brando that he always kept forgetting his lines. So Francis decided to use this as a character trait. 2. When auditioning for Vito, Brando decided to make Vito Corleone look like a bulldog, so he stuffed cotton in his mouth, which is why when you hear him in the movie, the way he talks is because of it. They later switch this out with special dentures. He also had the actors wear cue cards in order to remember his lines which is why most of the actors have their backs turned. 3. This was the book author Mario Puzo’s first movie that he ever wrote. After two Oscar wins, he later decided to do screenwriting more and bought a book on the topic. The first chapter was “Study The Godfather”. He'd later go on to write 9 films after, including the first two Superman movies with Christopher Reeves....

    There's a shot in this movie that no one ever talks about but to me is one of the most important in the film. It's when Michael lights Enzo the baker's cigarette outside the hospital. Enzo's hands are shaking, as most people's would be. Michael's are not. It's the first time we see that innocent little Mikey is naturally cool in these situations. They even show Michael's face looking down inquisitively at his own hands, as if he himself is intrigued by this development. Sure, you could say the military groomed him to be calm in life-or-death situations, but I look at it as the first indication that Michael is meant for the mob. Especially based on how Coppola shot it.

    True story: The first time I saw this movie was on TV, in a room filled with actual Mafia members. I was in my early 20's, and had just completed my military term of service. I was visiting my uncle's house, to help my cousin get through a rough time (drug abuse related). My uncle (related through marriage) was Italian, and grew up with a number of friends who ended up working for various Mafia businesses (gaming equipment, gambling, vending machines). At one point my uncle expressed an interest in working for one of the businesses, but my aunt forbade it. So while he didn't end up working for the mob, he remained friends with them, and became acquainted with many of the Associates, Soldiers and higher up. The weekend I was there, on one of the nights The Godfather aired on TV. It was the 2nd time it aired (early 80's). This was a few years before VCRs and video rentals were widely available, so to see that movie on TV was a big deal. On that day my uncle said he was going to cook up some Italian food and invite some "friends" over to watch. The moment they stepped in the door and began talking, I knew who they were. Before the movie began, they were all talking and laughing loudly, but as soon as the movie started, everyone went silent, as if at church. During commercials, they gave running commentary and critique on the story details as if it was personal, which it was. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, from watching that incredible movie for the first time, and because of who I was watching it with!

    YAAAAS I also have extended family who were "connected" (accountants, restaurant/caterers, and waste management) and the dichotomy between how we revere the mob (watching these movies is like watching a family reunion) and how we revile them (my dad owned a food-related business and hated when his customers- medigaaaans, all of them- stereotyped him being mobbed up) is absolutely fascinating to me. My uncles had lots of great mafia-adjacent stories that always ended with them not being involved in any way at all. 😉😉🤐🤐

    About Michael: The beginning of the film is 1946, just after the end of World War 2. At the wedding, Michael is wearing a WW2 US Marine Corps officer's uniform. The insignia on his shoulder epaulets show his rank is Captain, an officer commanding a Company of 150-200 men. The ribbons on the left front of his jacket are (top row left to right): Silver Star (3rd highest award for combat valor with serious risk to own life), Navy and Marine Corps Medal (highest award for non-combat life saving valor with serious risk to own life), Purple Heart (for being wounded in combat), 2nd row left-most ribbon is WW2 Pacific Theater Campaign Medal with 2 Stars for repeat awards (indicates participating in a total of 3 WW2 Pacific battles). So he is a combat veteran who has both led and commanded a significant number of men (as a 2nd lieutenant a platoon of 40-50 men, and as a Captain a company of 4 platoons); is trained and experienced in the use of personal weapons, tactics, taking decisive action, and clear thinking in stressful situations; been promoted through 3 officer ranks (2nd Lieutenant -> 1st Lieutenant -> Captain); shown personal bravery both in combat and non-combat situations; been wounded in combat; and seen some of the bloodiest battlefields of WW2. Some of those battles had very intense hand-to-hand combat, not just shooting. Also, the Marine Corps is not a union job: promotions are not given based on seniority, wartime promotions are given meritoriously: i.e. to those who distinguish themselves as particularly skilled, talented, and/or competent. These older mafiosi laugh at him for proposing to shot Tattaglia and the police captain, but really have no idea what his experiences are or how coldly ruthless he will be to decisively defeat his enemies.

The line is used to brush aside horrible things people do in the name of “business” and that always bothered me. Then I read the book and Michael tells Tom, “don’t let anybody kid you, it’s all personal, every bit of business”. And that he learned that from his father.

    Yep. Also, the book makes it very clear that organized crime is inherently destructive to society, so much so that ultimately it's bad for the gangsters as well. Whether or not it's what Coppola intended (I lean toward "not," but I haven't seen any comment from him either way), I know a LOT of people who walked out of this movie thinking, "Wow, being a mafioso looks So. Freaking. COOL." OTOH, the movie doesn't spend nearly as much time talking about genitalia. So that's a definite advantage of the film adaptation.

That part could have completely unmemorable, they give her so little to work with.....and yet you couldn't imagine The Godfather without her! She's Kay! Every scene she's in, she totally holds her own.....in this mobster movie, with all these guys chewing up the scenery, all these Italians! It's so weird that she pulls it off, so cool....so Diane Keaton! 🤣 Her stuff in these two Godfathers and the string of Woody Allen movies she did in the 70s are the total bedrock of her reputation.

This dramatic change takes years, but Michael justifies his ways towards the end when he speaks about how any person who wields power can come after you and the people you love, so you need to protect those around you, and who are loyal to you, at all costs.

    Thing about the Corleone sons is that they all have distinct personalities. Sonny: The Oldest was running affairs in interim as his father recovered, he's a hothead. Fredo: He's the middle child, though he usually means well, he's not exactly very sharp. He's the screw-up. Michael's the youngest, and the most Americanized, which the family realizes is very useful in society. And because of how proud Vito is of him, he's the golden child. Michael's the brains behind the brawn.

Vito was great because he combined all three traits.

    Some stuff to know: Sonny's wife is knowledgeable of his "affair". You see her showing that his member is of a huge size, so she lets him sleep with other women, as its painful for her. A previous attempt on Don Corleones life had Luca Brassi go on a murder spree that the families begged Corleone to stop. Translation for the dinner scene between Michael and Solozzo(the reason its not subtitled is because what Solozzo says is unimportant, as its just a no on his part at the end.) Sollozzo: “I’m sorry….”(gestures to the jaw) Michael: “Forget about it.” Sollozzo: “What happened to your father was business. I have much respect for your father. But your father and his thinking are old-fashioned, and you must understand why I had to do that. I am a man of honor.” Michael: “You don’t need to tell me these things. I understand them. What I want, what’s most important to me, is a guarantee that there’ll be no more attempts on my father’s life.” [Waiter brings McCluskey’s veal, then exits.] Sollozzo: Michael, what guarantees can I give you? I’m the hunted one. I missed my chance. I’m not that smart, and you give me too much credit. I think that we can find an agreement. I want peace, and let’s cut all this bullshit and work through where we go.” Michael: “I want to…How do you say…?” [Then Michael speaks English.] [Michael returns from the bathroom] Sollozzo: “Everything all right? I respect myself and cannot allow another man to hold me back. What happened was unavoidable, and I had the unspoken support of the other families’ dons. No disrespect intended but if your father were in better health, without his eldest son running things, we wouldn’t have this nonsense. We will stop fighting until your father is well and can resume bargaining. (It’s very hard to understand this. Sollozzo is chewing words here) No vengeance will be taken. We will have peace, but your family should interfere no longer.” (the sound of the whistle covers most of Sollozzo’s final words, making it a bit unclear)

    The guy who played Luca Brasi was a real Family enforcer. His rehearsing of his lines was actually him rehearsing his lines because he was nervous to meet Marlon Brando.

    I actually watched The Godfather for the first time on the Friday after Thanksgiving ~15 years ago. I was almost disowned when I mentioned at dinner that I hadn't seen it. The amount of praise my uncles and my Dad were throwing towards this one movie made me think, "It can't possibly be THAT good, can it? They must be overhyping it! I'll watch tomorrow and see what happens." Safe to say they were spot on. To this day, I still regard The Godfather as the best film America has ever made. I can't think of a better first time movie watching experience than that one. Floored me! I watched The Godfather: Part II the following week and was never the same.

    I remember watching this for the first time and it became my gateway to becoming a film enthusiast. It was such a huge influence to me that my film palette has expanded to classic, foreign, independent, and art films. I even created my own server because my collection was so vast and streaming services were so "limiting".
