What I love about the opening scene is that it's a case study for "Poetry Between The Lines". You understand why so many respect Don Corleone and why he has power within the community.
Also with how the actors interact. No need to talk about how Bonasera begs and the camera makes him look smaller, but also see that when Vito stands up, everyone in the room has to be standing.
One of the most memorable opening scenes in the history of cinema. Kudos to Coppola and also, to Salvatore Corsitto (Bonasera) for the electrifying performance.
This script is not the original one I think cause that cat in vito's hand was improvised on the set when she accidentally moved in the scene. The cat part was not predetermined in the script
Outstanding screenplay due to Francis. I believe in America... What an powerful monologue and performance, the scene revealing Vito's face and response at the pivotal moment.
The cat is Bonasera haha. In the sense that Don Corleone knows how to stroke such a clean man to becoming his friend rather than a simple hit for money. I feel like this is the kind of built relationship and loyalty Michael lacked. Those who were loyal to Vito was through respect and those who were loyal to Michael was out of fear. Michael was a weak Don because he viewed everything as strictly business and never really took the time to build connections, which ultimately destroyed him.
@cinema_Danny So scene 1 where he is talking to himself can be a shot from the side where we are seeing the protagonist as well as the door of his house. Scene2: Camera continues to show the side of hero talking to himself and the door. The doctor friend comes and sits at the sofa or a chair laying besides the bed. Scene3: The hero through his hand gestures tells the doctor friend to sit down on the chair. Then a shot of the hero getting up from the bed and going to the kitchen. Scene4: front Shot where we can see the hero making a dish in the kitchen and talking to himself. Then a shot of the kitchen showing the back of hero cooking as well as the photo of his old love hanging on the wall. He takes the photo and looks at her. Shot of him smiling at the photo. This shows that he was all busy in his chain of thoughts but that chain broke as soon as he saw the picture of his old love. As he got lost, he forgot that he was cooking in the kitchen. He quickly turns off the gas stove. Shot of him showing that he is coming to sit on the sofa with his friend. Then a shot of both of them sitting together where the hero is talking about her. Scene5: side shot showing both of them sitting together as well as the door. The engineer comes through the door and then a front shot of all 3 of them talking. I am just a person who likes filmmaking. I am not a filmmaker. I have not made any films yet. But I do have a passion for them. Hope this might help
@@AbhishekPandey-si2xo.... you can't write SHOT in ur screenplay 😂 Just tell what's happening there and let us figure out it how to shoot it . It's ok though as a beginner u can practice anything pops up in your mind
@@disisfunny88 I know bro SHOT should not be used in a screenplay😅I have read 2-3 movie scripts. I was just throwing some ideas on how to shoot that scene. Anyways thank you so much for reading my SHOTS😅till the end. Means a lot.
fun fact (and spoiler): the favor that the godfather is going to ask of bonasera is to sew the wounds on the body of Sonny, who was presciently at the scene
I like how he is weary of why he should trust him if he wasn’t a friend of his. In order to do a request he will need more than money but incentive as well as he never knew him personally but was in good relations with him
The cat held by Marlon Brando in the opening scene was a stray that Coppola found while on the lot at "Paramount Pictures," and was not originally called for in the script. So content was the cat that its purring muffled some of Brando's dialogue and, as a result, most of his lines had to be looped.
The car reminds of this cat we have! They call her Gwen, but I call her Gato! She’ll just sit on your lap and shove her head in your hand until you pet her and won’t leave! 🤣
It’s never done on camera, but it’s a safe to assume he had them beaten, badly. Possibly the brink of death. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had them mutilated too.
considering what Vito says about justice and suffering, and the fact he refuses to kill them, it would be safe to assume they got beaten as they beaten Bonassera's daughter
How come they claimed that the cat was just running around the set that day and it wasn’t planned in the script, yet in the original screenplay it describes Don corleone petting the cat? 🤔
@@Falcrist shutted also exists in a literary tense that doesn't get used much anymore, but it does exist. Also, I didn't want to say this, but you don't seem to understand they're attempting to do an italian accent here. They are not trying to say shattered.
...- ellipsis might mean that it's an incomplete sentence, or the meaning is open for interpretation. - can be used if the character stuttered, or if they changed their mind and what they were saying in an abrupt manner. as in "...and so I was talking to this girl the other day and -oh my god what is that kid doing over there?!" as in the focus shifted from the conversation to a kid. though there are more uses to them.
In the opneing scene, the man asking for justice should have said, she couldn't even cry instead of "she couldn't even weep". and then I cried, not I wept. An immigrant for whom english is a second language would have used cry, cried, not weep, wept. Latter words sound unnatural, contrived.

Why is that?
This moment was amazing. Like the earth stood still for it.

The cat part was not predetermined in the script
Its a very nice touch, its all innocent and weak in his hands
Probably. It's unusual for it to be an exact transcript like that, specially for such long dialogue
Looks like the cat wasn't improvised as we were led to believe. The cat is in the script.
@@halfadeaty This isn't the original script though
Yes. It's not the original script.
Outstanding screenplay due to Francis. I believe in America... What an powerful monologue and performance, the scene revealing Vito's face and response at the pivotal moment.

That's a good cat. Takes a pet like no problem.
That's why i want to be a screenwriter. I hope, i can write such a screenplay in my future. 🙏
@cinema_Danny So scene 1 where he is talking to himself can be a shot from the side where we are seeing the protagonist as well as the door of his house.

The brilliant script and Marlon Brando perfection
"I may call upon you to do a service for me" it never crossed my mind he meant funeral. I just thought he meant it as in do something for him.
fun fact (and spoiler): the favor that the godfather is going to ask of bonasera is to sew the wounds on the body of Sonny, who was presciently at the scene
I like how he is weary of why he should trust him if he wasn’t a friend of his. In order to do a request he will need more than money but incentive as well as he never knew him personally but was in good relations with him
It helping me to write a script! Thanks! 😍😍
I highly doubt that this is the original script. Seems more like a transcript of the scene.
cant believe even "uh" and "ah" was even in the script
From the very few seconds I was hooked
Salvatore Corsitto was brilliant here. Underrated performance, as he was up against Brando.
The cat held by Marlon Brando in the opening scene was a stray that Coppola found while on the lot at "Paramount Pictures," and was not originally called for in the script. So content was the cat that its purring muffled some of Brando's dialogue and, as a result, most of his lines had to be looped.
The cat was improvised, found behind the set as a stray and marlon Brando loved the cat and wanted it in the scene. Wasn’t included in the script
Thanks! I am writing too.
Do these type videos more,😍👍👍👍
The car reminds of this cat we have! They call her Gwen, but I call her Gato! She’ll just sit on your lap and shove her head in your hand until you pet her and won’t leave! 🤣
So did he have them killed or beaten up? I always got confused because he tells Tom that they aren't murderers.
It’s never done on camera, but it’s a safe to assume he had them beaten, badly. Possibly the brink of death. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had them mutilated too.
In the game, the protagonist (Aldo) and some others beat the rapists up.
Reasonable, thanks for replying :)
In the books they are beaten up badly
considering what Vito says about justice and suffering, and the fact he refuses to kill them, it would be safe to assume they got beaten as they beaten Bonassera's daughter
How come they claimed that the cat was just running around the set that day and it wasn’t planned in the script, yet in the original screenplay it describes Don corleone petting the cat? 🤔
They don't make them like they used to. Who will rise to the challenge?
Make the Joker mob scene in Dark Knight Rises. "uh.uh, ah ah ih ih ih oh eeeh ... and I thought my jokes were bad"
it already is on the screenplayed Facebook page.
I thought the cat stroking thing was improvised, by Marlon encountering this adorable cat on set. Why is it on the script then?
I thought petting the cat was coincidental??
Her jaw was "shutted"?
I think you meant "shattered".
Also the cat was improvised.
when you break your jaw, they have to wire it shut in order for it to heal.
@@redpractition yes. Her jaw was ***SHATTERED***, which is why it was held together by wire.
@@Falcrist shutted is grammatically correct.
@@pscar1 the past tense of "shut" is "shut".
@@Falcrist shutted also exists in a literary tense that doesn't get used much anymore, but it does exist.
Also, I didn't want to say this, but you don't seem to understand they're attempting to do an italian accent here. They are not trying to say shattered.
There was a was deleted omitted scene that was said to be very graphic were Pulie gatto and button men beat up the rapists
Does somebody know which software/tool to use for creating this kind of videos (script to screen)??
This is a long single take
Big dialouge
Please why we use ... and -- and ?
...- ellipsis might mean that it's an incomplete sentence, or the meaning is open for interpretation.
- can be used if the character stuttered, or if they changed their mind and what they were saying in an abrupt manner.
as in "...and so I was talking to this girl the other day and -oh my god what is that kid doing over there?!"
as in the focus shifted from the conversation to a kid.
though there are more uses to them.
In the opneing scene, the man asking for justice should have said, she couldn't even cry instead of "she couldn't even weep". and then I cried, not I wept. An immigrant for whom english is a second language would have used cry, cried, not weep, wept. Latter words sound unnatural, contrived.
