@Felipe Gomes no. Vito couldn't stand the corruption of his business happening to his family, especially when the crime game started hustling drugs to children. He always wanted Michael to become an honorable man, like a senator or the POTUS and believes it tragic that he had to inherit his fate.

@@dannyhipolito817 Each of the sons was an incomplete reflection of their father. Santino had his father's passion and charisma. Fredo had his father's heart and empathy. Tom (maybe not by blood, but definitely he was Vito's son) had his father's patience and discretion. Michael had his father's brilliance and ruthlessness. Put all those pieces together, and you have Vito. Separately, none of them could fully fill his role. We saw what happened to Santino. Fredo was a bumbling fool. Tom was _too_ patient and cautious. He was a good administrator, but not a real leader. Of all of them, Michael was the most successful, but even he was undone by being too ruthless, too cruel, too cold and calculating. In the end, he took much longer to destroy the family than Santino, Fredo, or even Tom would have, but he destroyed his family all the same.

@@theprogram863 Bravo. You have the best read on this that I’ve seen. I get annoyed when people say Sonny was a shitty Don and Fredo was a basket case but Michael was perfect. Vito saw the most of himself in Michael but he didn’t see all of himself in Michael, which is why he wanted Tom to stay close to him. Michael inherited Vito’s ability to reason and dissemble, something Sonny and Fredo could never do. That is what made him Vito’s favorite. But he was not another Vito and the family was always going to disintegrate.

Micheal not wanting any parts of the business was actually what caused a strain in there relationship. In the movie the line when Micheal says "I'm with you now" in the hospital actually comes from the book after Appollonia is killed. It's Micheal finally giving in to his father's wishes to join the family business.

Marlon Brando really acted well in this particular scene, it’s like he’s devastated that his son got involved in this but at the same time is just so honored that his good son would do this for him and the family. This film is moving because of the way family is put first

Its a two edge sword once you're the favorite son and everybody know it. If your that son, then you're taking revenge. Great acting by all.

Possibly the greatest acting ever recorded on film with barely a whisper

out of all the by this point beyond-classic, beyond-iconic scenes in this movie, there's nothing so devastating and powerful than that simple, dismissive, anguished wave of his hand when he hears about Michael. it's both incredibly frail yet _completely_ powerful. you wouldn't dismiss the order given from a man like that. THAT'S what Marlon Brando did - he created more than a character, he created a _persona._ you get every detail of this man in just a simple move of his hand. it's probably the best acting there's ever been.

1:49 onwards, motherfucking Brando somehow actually looking like he cant even talk. Nobody comes close to Brando, when he was trying at least, and its the subtle things that make you realize that.

“Where’s Michael” - they think, holy shit, this guy can barely talk and he doesn’t miss a beat.

Incredible subplot. It’s really a story about family, and the relationship between father and son.

1:12 His eyes say " They're gone...let's talk business."

what a great actor even without saying a word youll know hes sad and disspointed about michael hits the point of no return..

What an iconic scene. I play it on repeat over and over.Every time I doubt a human nature which is on a daily basis.

Especially with the weights sneaky Marlon Brando hid on the bed stretcher

Vito was crushed, but then asked, “well did he at least hide the gun behind that old-style toilet tank.” “He did.” Vito: “THAT’s-a-my BOY!!”

Brando did a wonderful job showing Vito’s inner conflict. Like when Israel thought he lost his beloved son to wolves, Vito is heartbroken that his youngest has become tainted like himself

Brando mightn't have wanted to play this role, but that never shows. His performance is breathtaking, especially in this scene.

This scene is so telling on so many levels. We can see the difference between Vito and Sonny clearly. Vito doesn't even glance at Fredo, so full of contempt is he for his middle son for his weakness. Sonny, on the other hand, gives him an a hug and ruffles his hair, nowhere insulting his brother. Sonny was the most affectionate amd attached to his family members.

I’ve always focused so much on Brando that there are things I’m only now noticing : - Fredo’s face watching his father get carried up the stairs - cute little interaction of the Corleone + Hagen women - Clemenza’s joking with his godson and his godson’s son (also potentially Clemenza’s last scene with Sonny) - Theresa and her and Tom’s kids being fully part of the family and saying hi to Vito - the silent Sonny-Tom « oh shit » exchange and Vito catching up on that - Tom doing the polite cat meme when told to go - Fredo is very much traumatized by his father’s near-death

I feel so sorry for Sonny in this scene. He repeatedly told Michael not to get involved in the mafia knowing fully well his father would not like it. But Michael with his 'business not personal' argument with Tom's backing armtwisted his way into it. And now he has to bear the brunt of his father's disappointment. This is the reason he is so vicious in the staircsse scene that follows immediately after this.
