Still can't believe this man only has 1 Oscar under his belt.
true- I have always questioned that myself; he should have won in GF 1 and 2 for sure, and possibly nominated for one in 3. I know 3 is underrated but it's not Pacino's fault Coppola decided to be that nepotistic to play his whole family is some key and defining roles that could have and should have made it very remarkable too but Al was just... AL. But yeah, he's been in epic roles, been great and funny and tough... but someone in Hollywood just possibly didn't like him. Maybe it's his giant nose or that he's short... you just never know. But Oscar or none, this is one of the very best actors we have ever known and am glad I lived through his time too even though am a lot younger than he is
Great performances in G1&G2.His character development in those two movies was remarkable.There was no award-no recognition- that he should have been denied in those two movies.Unfortunately, his performance in G3 was horrible.
hatsoffsam24 do you think he deserved more than an Oscar?
sebastian alegria Not sure..but I am sure that Daniel Day Lewis is not better..
Should have more
"I was afraid of the role" - what an honest admission. I doubt many actors would ever confess that.
Al was so good in GF (1&2) that you feel there's Al and there's Michael, they are not the same person.
*1, 2 and 3.
The third was bad, but you can't deny his acting in it. Probably the best part of the movie.
+Eric Cartman I warmed up to 3!!. Yes its not as good as the first two. But having watched it a few times I think its not bad.
roquefortfiles I hated it due to my high expectations. I had hoped for something on the level of the first two and got disappointed...
Eric Cartman
I agree with you on it. The film is below the first 2. But I have warmed up to it a little over the years. I think you feel with the first two that Coppola's heart was in it. With the 3'rd one it felt more like it was just a service job to the studio.
roquefortfiles Because it basically was...
He had the perfect look for the part. He looked suitably boyish being the youngest sibling in the family, but at the flick of a switch he could stare into your soul with cold menacing eyes and ignite with explosive rage as Don Michael.
Well said!
One of the greatest actors of all time
Probably overrated. He hasn't been in that many great movies. Is it because Godfather 1 and 2? Without 1 and 2 he doesn't have a whole lot to fall back on. He hasn't really stepped outside of gangster roles that much. Scent of a woman was good but kinda cheesy and unrealistic. I think there is a good handful of actors that come before him not to mention actresses.
Michael Burke well hes in the greatest movie of all time.
@@blackoutunit6276 Ya he didn't make the greatest movie of all time just starred in it. And he isn't the only actor in it.
Michael Burke i didn't say he was the creator, i meant to say that he was inside of the film.
@@michaelburke7742 Lol, I guess you haven't seen Dog Day Afternoon. That's one of the greatest acting performances you'll ever see.
Michael Corleone is the ultimate badass. Calm, machiavelian, smart, commited, etc... Thank you so much Al for this historic role !
I met him after a play in L.A. - you never know what to expect from a superstar, he was GREAT. He was nice and took a picture with me (2 pictures), the camera jammed on the first shot so he waited for another. ATTICA!
i wish i do in my life as well, i love al
He's not a gangster. He's just a son, a brother, a husband, and a father... a man protecting his family from powerful people trying to hurt and kill them. It wasn't really about business. It's family. It's personal.
No it's not personal. It's completely business.
That's where the beauty lies..Family/business...We don't know.
Except that time he killed his brother.
Kiarash Foroohar Pak Its always personal - Michael from the book
To me, it's ALWAYS personal and that's evident in the movie...He killed Carlo, personal, Fredo, personal, the cop and the mob boss on the restaurant, personal, the heads of the five families, personal...Anyone who hurt or tried to hurt his family, even his family were killed because it was personal...Business never requires death to be involved...Don't believe that...ijs
".... they pull me back in..." says it all.... he fought it all his life.... ETERNAL MASTERPIECE!!!!!
I have loved Al Pacino since I first saw him act, and I will love him till the end of time. He's the greatest actor that ever lived. His work will live on forever.
In my home, where my wife sleeps, and my children play with toys.
manny look at the pelican fly
Elvira! I was only kidding!
She got a GREAT ASS
leafyutube You broke my heart, Fredo. You broke my heart!
ATTICA ATTICA
I never saw Michael Corleone as a villain.
Sean Pultz no one did he was an anti hero
He kills his brother .
He wasnt really an anti hero either..mostly because most people dont root for him especially at certain points. They may sympathize with him sometimes and find him an interesting character but they dont really root for him. An anti hero makes you root for him despite him or her not being a perfect person
bawoman I rooted for Michael. He looks so defeated cause of the burden he carries for his family.
But, he chose that life.
Its almost as if you wish he could somehow, find his way out of that life.
Its sad.
You could maybe say that's true in The Godfather 3, but before that he never seemed torn or obligated to me.
I love Al Pacino. He should have got an Oscar for Scarface but wasn't even nominated. Every interview I have watched him in he seems so nice. It seems the bigger the star the nicer they are. That rhymed! But it's true.
michelle88960 So true. He seems so down to earth and still very passionate about his craft all these years. Jamie Foxx said that in AGS where there were a lot of big stars with big egos, he didn't have any ego.
+nenabunena Are you joking? Pacino's an arrogant smug bastard. Nobody in Hollywood has a bigger ego than Pacino.
Revolver you should watch his interviews, he's very open to criticism and very down to earth. you're referring to de niro i believe
nenabunena De Niro is known for being a humble modest guy you idiot. Pacino is known for being arrogant.
Revolver lol, just realized you're a troll. you got me there for a while, bye
Unquestionably one of the greatest Actors ever.
Самый лучший!!!!!!!!
his performance as Michael Corleone was probably the best in the history of cinema
Michael was very intelligent, gifted with an inclination for strategic thinking, political maneuvering and a cold, calculating disposition that allowed him to operate in volatile situations. He understood how to wield power, and this ability drew him in little by little. The best example is the plot to kill McClusky and Sollozzo. All the seasoned criminals in the family thought it was impossible, but Michaels keen political mind saw an opening to bend the narrative using the family’s newspaper connections, making it a viable option. Additionally, he knew Sollozzo would never suspect him of pulling the trigger - keen strategic thinking. He was the only one to see the opening.
“I’m talking about a cop that’s mixed up in drugs! I’m talking about a- a dishonest cop! A crooked cop who got mixed up on the ruckus and got what was coming for him!”
“It’s not personal, Sonny… it’s strictly business.”
@@ASOtheprO 💜
Pacino...He's such a doll. I love him!!
It’s unbelievable that al didn’t win an Oscar for Michael corleone ..
Al Pacino is one of the greatest actors ever. Much respect
"Fredo well he's got a good heart, but he's weak, and he's stupid and this is life and death."
Fredo I knew it was you
You broke my heart
"Tom your going to takeover. You're going to be the Don."
He is just speaking from heart...thats it.. but still dnt know wat is there in this voice and mannerism that one can never get bored of imitiating,listening and watching him. Great in ALL type of roles.. thats why hes AL ( All ) Pacino.
The Scarfather
Jemel Moore tony Corleone or Micheal Montana??
@@goldy_on_pc930 micony monleorne
Lmao underrated comments
@@goldy_on_pc930 Antonio Corleoni
They wanted to fire him after shooting the first few scenes because he was so reserved and timid. Only after he made that transformation did they give him the acclaim he deserved
gregg mikulla Al Pacino experienced a kind of metamorphosis with The Godfather. He started out as a somewhat weak unassuming actor. By the end of the movie he proved his greatness. I think the turning point for Al the actor and Michael the character was the restaurant scene, where he killed Solozzo and the police captain. There was no turning back after that
@@lindacosta3381 films aren't shot in their chronological sequence
@@adityasanthosh702 some are
@@adityasanthosh702 the godfather was.
@@tylerpool5464 wow. that's really cool.
He played that part so well.
One thing i've learned there's always a person or people that make a person. Francis Coppola made Pacino ie saw things the gifts he has and fought with him and supported him to give him his big break..a star will not shine unless he/ she has support..
The 20 dislikes will be sleeping with the fishes
Another 16 will go fishing with al neri
They're sleeping with Fredo
Tell them to give Luca my best...
Hahahahahahahahaa.... those signal will be from Siciliano... Lol
It’s a Sicilian message...
happy that francis made you do it, i will never forget this epic trilogy al pacino to me you are a legend
This man is 81 years old and I still see his face as young Michael Corleone
Francis did a great job fighting for Alpacino as Micheal. 💪 Incredible call 🔥!
Well let’s all thanks to the director for picking out the characters for all the cast out there.
I still can see Al Pacino so handsome at his age in 2015. 6 years later from the interview, wonder what become of him. I pray that he is still.physically okey and that there is someone taking care of him. In this interview it's obvious he had still that slight nervousness the way he answered questions. I love you Al forever. ❤️❤️❤️😍😻🤩.
He seems to be playing a part even during an interview. Amazing man.
Probably one of the best actors ever
You mean probably the best. Because he's one of the best for sure.
Самый лучший!!!!!!!!
His performance in Godfather II is the best performance ever .
One of the greatest actors EVER!!
This man is the greatest of all time, living legend
I have so much respect for Al. I love how he puts passion into every interview
In a way Al Pacino was similar to the character, Michael Corleone. He was a reserved up and coming actor. No one expected greatness, while Michael Corleone was the son of a gangster and no one thought he would become a part of that life. Both Michael and Al Pacino evolved into something nobody expected
Al Pacino is one of my all time fav. actors ever. He's up there with Nicholson, De Niro, Brando & Cagney. He should've won so much more Oscars for his role as Michael Corleone in Godfather 1 & 2 even 3......Superior.
STONECOLD1987 I love him to a fault...he lived every role he played.
I couldn't agree more with you. Al is for me the 3rd best actor ever, coming Brando 1st and James Dean 2nd,
I like him in The Godfather. But he will always be Tony Montana aka Scarface.
He looked like a hardcore gangster when he was questioning Carlo before he had him killed.
"You have to answer for Santino, Carlo." YAAAS, Godfather. Yes. Get him.
Totally
only dont tell me ure innocent
Patience was the biggest asset for Micheal Corleone to achieve dreams.
AL PACINO, GREAT ACTOR, loved seeing HIM as a blind man, loved the...hooah, magnificent! HE deserved more than HE has, AL PACINO, one of the...B-E-S-T.
Greatest character portrayal of all time
In part 1, I believe the military is what awaken Michael's dark side and took him away from the shy lovers boy persona. And it made him comfortable with getting involved in the mafia because the war wasn't any different from back home.. Then the quietness that made Michael a threat in part 2. That sense that You couldn't figure him out as easily but him being quiet, plotting on his next move, rarely showing emotion and the extreme serious facial expressions made him a chilling Character...THEN in part 3, you see him opening up more and dealing with alot of regret and wishing he could had done everything a whole another way because he can't handle all the blood that was left on his hands. He's a all around well written character...He could be seen as the villain or the good guy just trying to keep his family well..All in how you view him.
I think Apollonia's death solidified his ruthless nature.
+Carlou Espedillon in a way it did. In Sicily , he tried to live a new life but soon realized his past was following him. His enemies were able to track him down. He wasn't extremely depressed over her death but it was a wake up call for him and made him realized how serious things can get. Remember, he did that hit for his father..Not because he wanted to join the mafia but by code...That hit made him a official member and there was no turning back after that. He had joined the mob and his enemies now looked at him as such and not a war hero.
I think that the true catalyst of his fate was the piece of shit Barzini. Think about it. Michael always held some honor and had a conscience. Barzini had none. Vito trusted Barzini and Barzini, simply because Vito refused to go into the Drug road, attempted to one by one kill off the Corleones..Michael Sees his father almost killed,,Then he hears about Sonny being dead ( At the hands of Barzini ) Then his wife dies at the hands of Barzini ( Was supposed to be him ) and then he knows that Barzini has teamed up with Tessio to kill him. Barzini just pushed Michael over the edge of sanity and reality. Barzini encouraged the other families to conspire against the Corleones as well. Barzini was the biggest piece of shit in the Godfather series...by far. His death was much more kind and quick as to what I would have liked it to be.
Greatest acting performance if not one of the greatest acting performance ever in film
I loved him in the panic in needle park too. Amazing actor he has such expressive eyes.
Самые лучшие глаза в мире!!!!!!!!!
Whenever I'm asked what is my favorite movie, I answer The Godfather Trilogy, the three films which I combine as a whole. The movies brilliantly showcase the gradual devolution of Michael: from war hero and idealistic college graduate to a ruthless Mafia don to an old and ill man seeking redemption. It's a brilliant performance - and Al deserved an Oscar for each of these films. A great actor and a kind and generous man.
It's like some songs first performed by a specific artist, once that is done, no one, but no one, can assume that. Al Pacino, as Michael Corleone, is of such phenomena.
I didn’t see him as a villain until the end of part 2.
i still see michael corleone in al pacino, really really the iconic character of al pacino
Such a powerful character, I think it’s every actor’s dream to have the chance to perform a such a part, full of shades. Raising and fall to the hell....
Al Pacino delivered one of the greatest performances I have ever seen up there on the screen!
I can watch this man talk forever!
"I don't want anything to happen to him while my mother's alive"
-Michael Corleone
Pacino is a great actor. Such a commanding presence
Even though I despise the interviewer, but I absolutely adore Al's portrayal of the Godfather
Michael Corleone be like: **best character ever noises**
I love this Movie, watch it everytime it comes on.
He deserved the Oscar in 1975
He is a fucking legend!
Oscars need Pacino, He won against Malcom X and even Denzel accepted that he was more deserving and he got a standing ovation for his announcement and spoke for 4 mins while Oscar usually allows for only 1 minute. Al is the greatest actor of our generation and most of Hollywood knows this. Him, Morgan ,Robert , Denzel , Oldman etc are last of old guard who are actually talented actors rather than being in a movie because a producer owes them a favour.
Damn, I truly loved him in godfather part II. Serpico and carlito's way are amazing as well, but this! Boy oh boy
Legend
genio alpatino o maior ator de todos. os tempos
What a marvellous actor Al Pacino is, from Tony Montana to Michael Corleone, he's one of the most believable actors that every lived....
Never saw him as a gangster either
Charlie Rose is such a great interviewer.
disco desanti i admit he is
sometimes he just pisses me off when something doesnt go accordingly to him he tends to be an asshole
I don't know much about him but I'm assuming you don't like him? @@redcomic619
George aye Never liked him, the fact that he got fired for sexual misconduct just shows the type of person he is.
Oh, I never knew that, what a creep, thanks for educating me, I'm in the UK and don't know a lot about the guy @@redcomic619
It’s a disgrace that Al Pacino only has 1 Oscar. Al Pacino portrayal of Michael Corleone is breathtaking. Watching “The Godfather Trilogy” you see every emotion through Al Pacino’s eyes as Michael Corleone change from “All-American Boy” to “The Don”. I be hooked soon I turn on “The Godfather” because I need to see Michael Corleone’s transformation.
Al Pacino is one of “G.O.A.T.”
Tony Montana was more gangster style , Michael just do everything to protect his family .
Thanks for sharing this
I realy wanted to see more movies of al pacino
Charlie Rose's achilles heel is that he talks over his guests. He interjects himself too frequently. It gets annoying.
+eslgurucalif I agree
There was a great New Yorker piece in which Rose is interviewing Death. He keeps talking over him, interrupting him, asking questions and then answering them - everything he normally does. At the end, before Death has had a chance to say a complete sentence, Rose says: "We're out of time which is a shame because you were so fascinating. I hope I'll see you again." And Death says: "Oh, you'll definitely be seeing me again, Charlie..."
source? I didn't thiknk death was real.
eslgurucalif and now he’s a pervert who is already forgotten
Michael Corleone is a businessman. Just like any CEO of a very large company. He is a very important man. No different from any important man like politicians, governor or president.
People like them, we never see twice.
His voice
The eyes💖💖💖💖
Al from Cuba 🇨🇺 with love. I been many times to The Godfather house on Staten Island. 110 Longview Ave.
Micheal learned from his father but rephrased the lessons. My all time favorite actor Alfredo James Pacino. And all time favorite movie character-Michael 'ViTo' Corleone
A simply michael corleone serves as The Godfather for me 😍❤️
He is such a character
I sometimes forget that Al Pacino, this man, this man is the actor who played Jimmy Hoffa and Michael Corleone. Both are performences worth talking about, of course. But what strikes me is just how different they are, and how Al just disappears into those roles.
Al I'm Cuban and I love you. I saw The Godfather in Cuba.
He looks great for a guy in his mid 70s.
bill potlook late 70s actually
bill potlook Processed and GMO food are to thank the American people for aging more slowly than we did before the 90’s.
Turns out Charlie Rose was the real life villain, eh?
He still looks great.
love it
Not only was mike a gangster.... he’s the king of the gangsters.
Absolute power
Micheal Corleone was never a Gangster... He acted very quietly and his words were so meaningful and Dominant
He’s a icon!!!!
Damn anyone noticed his voice? Begins to look like his father in the movie. I hope it's not something medical. I think it would be awsome if he played the old don on how he is now, but he also did then a tremendous job if you ask me :)
Arjen Bergsma is because he smokes too damn much
I love this Man..
his eyes are Grey, Blue or Black????
Black
Hazel! =)
LOVE AL PACINO👑❤👏👏👏👏👏
Al pacino vous êtes un superbe acteur comme robert de Niro merci pour vos superbes films bravo pour votre simplicité trop cool 🇫🇷🦁✌😻🤩😘♥️🕊🐔🇺🇦🇮🇱💐
Michael wasn’t a gangster when we first met him and he wasn’t a gangster in Part III, but when he takes position as Don for the Corleones, he becomes the new mafia boss which is technically a gangster
al pacino is right....it has something to do what a man does in a family....
Love Al and Fredo in Dog Day Afternoon.
Grandissimo!
Al Pacino ! Brilliant actor.
One of the GOATS!!...
I love that man
A ganster is not a man with honor. A gangster is a good-for-nothing scum, who adds no value. But Corleone is a father, a heroe, a role model, a real man who is honorable and respectable. This kind of man is the one who kicks every gangster scumbag in the ass. Gangsters wanting to be somebody, but real men like Corleone are somebody!
