Coppola was scrambling to find an actress to replace Winona Ryder who fell sick. He had already cast his younger sister Talia Shire (who was right for her part). So, he turns to his daughter and thinks, "Why not?" If Sofia had pursued acting on her own, she would have been good for romantic comedies, like Jennifer Aniston. Light, simpler material. Not deep, epic stuff like The Godfather story.

I agree, Vito's story is more compelling because he became a Don from his own actions, Micheal and Vincent were passed it on, Vito ruled from respect, Micheal ruled from fear which I imagine Vincent carried on due to the genetic temperament of his father. It's 1, 2, 3 for me with 1 and 2 at neck and neck due to the Vito Andolini backstory.

So Sophia had the misfortune of being born the wrong gender, and to the wrong people, then choose the wrong career, debuted in the wrong movie😂

"I swear... on the souls of my grandchildren... that I will not be the one to break the peace we've made here today." And he wasn't the one. Very carefully worded, that vow. Vito was no pacifist, he just had near infinite patience. He didn't care about enjoying his own vengeance. He cared about spending the last few years of his life setting things up so that after he died, his son would be on top without anyone powerful enough to challenge him.

Michael's daughter was originally supposed to be played by Winona Ryder but she pulled out at the last minute so Coppola asked Sofia to do him a favour.

What I always found interesting about this story is that Vincent had inherited the character of Sonny and Micheal recognized it. Strong and likeable but hot headed and always in the moment. Micheal realized that with Sonny’s personality Vincent might be better suited to run the family than he is if he could teach Vincent some restraint and forward thinking. So Micheal hedges his bets, while he is trying to take the family fully legitimate, he grooms Vincent to take his place.

The guys who played Tucco in "The Good, The Bad & the Ugly" was also the villain in the original "Magnificent Seven" which was made in the late 60's and several years ago was remade but it's not near as good as the original IMO.

At the end of Part I she comes in screaming & attacking Michael for killing her (very physically abusive) husband and tells Kay "Read the papers, THAT'S your husband!", so when Fredo dies 7-8 years later, yeah, she would have had no illusions as to what really happened. But by then she was already considerably hardened and had just offered to "stay home now" and take care of Michael (albeit probably just to come under his protection once she had finally gotten tired of tramping around using & being used by men.) Twenty years later at Michael's side and this is what she's become: someone who probably would have been fully capable of putting a hit out on Fredo herself.

Fun fact: In Sicily, cousin marriage has traditionally been approved, sometimes even preferred. They are (were?) big on family down there, and with blood feuds and nepotism being historically big deals, marrying into the family you already belonged to would seem beneficial. Don't know if that's still the case nowadays. I do know that marrying your first cousin is legal in my country, but I ain't got no cousins, so I guess I'll have to stay single! Probably for the better, because I think someone might have urinated in my genepool.

Part III is sorely under rated. It's a great film, and a fitting ending. The following is not directed at anyone specific, but the people that complain about this film are cretins. What did you expect, Michael ends up happy with everyone in the family having egg nog at Christmas together? This is what happens to powerful Mafia figures. They either die young themselves, watch other family members who are connected to them die young, end up in jail, or all of the above. It doesn't end well for these people, and that is where the brilliance of part III lies. They kept it real. Andy Garcia was great, though he's a loon in real life, Pacino was predictably great, Joe Mantegna did a wonderful job, and the ending was real. Michael Corleone was always going to suffer one way or the other because that's what happens to these guys. If you don't believe that watch interviews with guys like Michael Franzese, a real life Mafia man, when he talks about the enormous cost of being in the life. Yeah he survived, but he has spoken at length about the tremendous toll it took on him and his family and friends. Even if these guys live into old age the "life" gets them one way or another.

The spaghetti western style music during the Eli Wallach scenes had another connection, though I’m not sure if it was intentional. When Paramount started developing the first movie, they insisted on hiring an Italian director. Sergio Leone was the initial first choice, but turned it down.

From his first involvement in the Family business, to trying to go legitimate and dealing with betrayal to his realization that he was never going to be able to leave that life, which cost him the life of his daughter.

I am sick with flu and so am lying in bed, binging you guys. My throat feels completely shredded, so even uttering a sound makes my innards explode. You guys are making me laugh so much that my fever has started again.

It was a pleasure revisiting this trilogy with you 🙂

Robert Duvall just wanted more money. He didn't have a problem with coming back. It was all about which job was better for his own bottom line. This... or Days of Thunder. He didn't care so much about prestige anymore. He _had_ the prestige. The first 2 Godfathers, Network, the movie MASH and arguably several others. He'd done the hell out of prestige pics. By 1990 he was looking to cash in on that prestige as best he could.

@@alucard624 Oh, yeah. I can't blame him either. If you're not looking out for you and yours, no one is. But ya gotta admit, his presence would've made part 3 seem a little bit less like a ghost town of a movie where 95% of the interesting characters are long gone.

The single most underrated and unfairly shit upon film ever made. Sure, it isn't as great as the first two, but comparing it to them isn't fair. Can't wait to see what you think.

"Godfather"... I seen that movie two hundred times. "Godfather II" was definitely the sh**. The third one... A lot of people didn't like it. But I think it was just misunderstood. (Hope someone gets the reference 😉)

There's always " Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace".

George Costanza does a great version of that “they pull me back in” line

Sofia Coppola was the baby in the first godfather movie christening scene, it was also shot in the same church 👍👍👍

I LOVE this movie. Pacino's acting in 3 is underrated. People complain about him watering down. No he's been through so much. Let him rest. You feel that silent cry.

21:30 The incest subplot really wasn't needed.

Since now you’re done with The Godfather trilogy, maybe you could watch the Scorsese mob saga: Mean Streets, Goodfellas, Casino and The Irishman

yes please

Andy Garcia played the same role pretty much in 'Things to do in Denver when you're dead'. I watched that years and years ago but it was a fun movie with a great cast.

Spoiler alert: Micheal's son grows up to be an opera singing fanook.

"I thought his name was Don" Still chuckling at that a month or so later...... oh, Mrs. Moovs.

There is another video on YT that envisions Godfather III doing what II did, telling the end of the Michael story but also the period that remained of the Vito story from the end of II to the beginning of Part I. I think that would have been a good idea. They could have easily avoided the awkwardness of having someone cast as young Michael along with old Michael by covering in the Vito story the period when Michael as in the War.

"You are first cousins, please stop." That really ought to be the state motto of....well, most of the south. "I love my family"-Mary Yeah, sweetheart, that's the problem right there.. Ranking: 1,2.3. Admittedly originality isn't really my strong suit.

Sophia was also the baby being baptized in The Godfather.

I rank them in chronological order, 1 first 2 second 3 third. I read the book before I saw 1 which sort of helped as at the time I found Brando's voice hard to understand. As a trilogy taken all together I think they will stand as the best ever. One reason I like 1 the best is it works as a stand alone film, unlike 2 and 3.

1 is definitely the best. Comparing 1 to 2 with only the early Don scenes would make for a tougher call. The 50's scenes are just a steady descent of Michael's emotional state. GF1 just had a better arc than GF2. As for GF3, it's not in the same league as 1 or 2.

I just want to say Thank You for watching this version instead of the Coda one, in that they cut the fall from the chair it becomes "incomplete". Great reaction!

You seemed surprised when Michael nodded yes at the 600 million-dollar asking price!! You asked how much does he have well think about your favorite female body anatomy Jew in the second movie saying and I'm talkin about Hyman Roth, "we are bigger than us Steel." And that was in the late 50s early 60s now we're talkin about the 1990s so imagine how much his fortune has grown since then!! In the 1960s us steel was the biggest steel manufacturer in the world if I'm not mistaken so to be worth more than that is quite a mass of wealth!!!

That's so sad how Mary died. That's how my dad would've reacted if I got killed. I don't know how this movie was so bad like everyone was making it out to be because it wasn't so bad. I loved how they played Cavalleria Rusticana in the end.

At the end of Godfather Part III, it was estimated, because the Corleone Family had purchased the Vatican’s biggest enterprise, Immobiliare, he was worth at least 3 billion dollars, considered a princely sum in 1979-1980.

Yes thank u U guys chose the right version it's personally my favourite version of Godfather part 3

When Michael was sick in hospital, Connie pretty much ran the family and decided who got hit and who didn't...

The don whose funeral he went to was the same don that protected him when he was in hiding. His men gave their loyalty to Micheal, then to Vincent.

Next Pacino movie that I think you two would have fun with is "The Devil's Advocate". Pacino is brilliant as usual and some pretty good performances by Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron. It's an edgy and suspenseful thriller.

Vincent is the son of Sonny and the lady he was banging up against the door at the wedding in Godfather. She was the one asking why they weren’t on the list. She was a very prominent character in the original novel.

You left out the coolest part: played by the same actress 20 years later. She was pretty much an extra in the first film but they managed to track her down & let her reprise her role for about the same scant amount of screen time in III. At least they gave her a line this time so she could get bumped up to the Union minimum rate for a speaking role.

And very wise of them to leave her character out of most of the movie. That whole subplot in the book almost made me regret reading it. 🤨

Vincent wasn't licking blood off his fingers, Mrs. Movies; he had pieces of Joey Zasa's ear stuck in his teeth!
