BEST MOVIE EVER! Reacting to THE GODFATHER (1972) | Movie Reaction - บันเทิง
The reaction outside the hospital when Michael closed the cigarette lighter was meant to show how Michael’s hands were not nervous, compared to how nervous the other guy was. That was a turning point for Michael’s path to become godfather.
Michael's WW2 stint in the US Marines gave him leadership qualities that were added to the lessons Don Corleone shared with his son. All helped keep his hands steady and his brain keen, but eventually ... .
And when his jaw gets broken, he begins to resemble his father!
.that is a key moment in the story
Part 2 is even better
Yep In book he realizes he could handle the life if involved
What others may have left out is the horse wasn't just any horse, but his prize-winning thoroughbred racing horse, his pride and joy.
Khartum. Or, as Cassie from Popcorn in Bed called it, Croatia. 🐎
except the head in the bed did't have the star on the forehead like the one in the stable.
It would be hard to sleep 😴 after

Film Editor's mistake, but it was definitely the same horse. Says so in the novel.
Al Pacino's portrayal of Michael Corleone is studied in every acting class around the world, that's how great it was
He was better as Scarface
@@KrazyKat007 no he wasn't. Not one bit. Everything from range, tone, facial expressions, body language is all better as Michael. There's a reason its widely regarded as one of the best performances ever and his as Tony isn't.
@@KrazyKat007nah, he was cheesy and over the top in scarface in my opinion.
@@KrazyKat007Serpico
@@pleaseshush9800 He wasn't better or worse, he was just different in both. He was excellent in each of his portrayals as Michael Corleone and Tony Montana but each character had different personalities. It just depends on what people prefer. I enjoyed both but my favorite portrayals of his are in "Dog Day Afternoon and Serpico."
"Did the cow head work?" That broke me up and made my day!😅🤣🤣😂
Guess no fresh milk again ! lol
For some reason that just remind me of Mongo from blazing saddles ridding a bull instead of a horse
She must have not watched the whole movie
Same! Haha
That made me wonder why I was watching her... I mean... she's obviously not watching the film.
At the very least, she's barely paying attention. These days she spends most of the time thinking up the next 'joke' because she thinks she's here to entertain us with 'comedy' rather than react honestly to films.
This happens to a lot of reactors, especially if their channels get big. Their egos get huge, and after a while, all they do is clown around, even through the most serious films. It's even worse during comedy films when they start talking over classic punchlines with their own made up 'humor'.
I think the loss of Apollonia broke Michael. Between her and Sonny, I think it changed him forever
Between his father getting shot, Sonny being murdered, the death of Apollonia was the catalyst that sealed his fate.
Any normal person would of turned cold a man like that has nothing to lose anymore.
In the novel Mike 's face was also horribly disfigured from the shrapnel.
@@visaman oh wow! I never knew that
@@SEOshogun if you can find it, the novel is quite detailed. The movie cut more than half the story.
Part 2 is a must 👍
Don't react to three, but watch, I think it closes out the trilogy nicely!
@@fbksfrank4 The last movie of godfather is really good too
The baby girl getting baptized at the end of the movie was Sophia Coppola, Director Francis Ford Coppola's real life daughter. Sophia was in Godfather III.
Cousin to Nicholas Kim Coppola Cage. Talia Shire is their aunt.
To quote an old song, "It's a family affair".@@patron40silver
And now a director
Sofia Coppola RUINED Godfather 3. 😁
Don Marie: "I'm gonna make you a channel you can't refuse."
I for one welcome our new Scottish overlord. 😂😂😂
Are you crazy? She’s going to kill all the racing cows in Scotland!
One of the greatest movies ever made and the Godfather part 2 is even better ❤
Yes, exactly. One of the few, few movies that the sequel is *actually* better than the first film. Although to be honest it's far more like Godfather 1A and 1B.
What's even better than watching both Godfather I and II? Watching the chronological cut of I and II called The Godfather Saga. Which I'm doing tomorrow as part of my annual Thanksgiving tradition.
It’s called The godfather epic and is the worst cut of both the movies, followed by The godfather Coda: the death of Michael Corleone.
I'd have to agree!
Yes, although we can't really call it a movie sequel as both parts come from the Godfather book.
Hi Dawn. The horses head in the bed was a "real" horses head. Also, the actor Lenny Montana who played Luca Brasi who had trouble thanking Don Corleone for being invited to the wedding was in fact nervous saying his lines. Marlon Brando tried to calm his fears by writing "F You!" on a post it and putting it on his forehead while Luca said his lines 😂 That's part of the reason Don Corleone has his back to the camera.
Not to mention that Montana had real connections with the Mob because he worked as a muscle for the Colombo family which was youngest of the New York Five.
@Rotionu you are correct! There's a lot of behind the scenes stories involving this classic.
Yeah... a cow's head. Pretty sad, right?
It's obvious she's missing most of what's going on in these films. This is the point in the reaction channel arc where her ego is starting to take over. That's the tipping point where she truly believes she's an entertainer and that people are here to see her 'comedy' and not to see her react to a classic film. So she's not really paying attention, because she's always thinking of the next 'joke' she can make.
This is nothing new. There's at least a half dozen reactors I used to enjoy watching, that I just can't stomach anymore because they just clown around the entire time, no matter how serious the film.
@Mr.Ekshin Hello my friend you couldn't have said it any better. I also like to watch youtubers react to movies that I have seen. What irks me is if they tell jokes about the movie or if they talk and talk during the movie. I mean what's the point of some youtubers watching a movie if they're gonna tell jokes and talk? Can't they wait till the movie is over? Doesn't make any sense to me...
Post it notes didn't come out until 1980. It was actually James Caan who wrote F You on a piece of white tape and put it on Lenny Montana's tongue, not his forehead
The opening scene's speech by an actor that pretty much did TWO things outside of this movie is still one of the most ICONIC opening speeches given by a character in a movie.
The cat in the opening scene kind of just "walked on set", and Marlon Brando decided that playing with the cat will actually add to the scene as it shows that Don Vito is a soft person underneath all his ruthless business deals. Such as agreeing to put the 2 men responsible for hurting the daughter into the hospital. He didn't agree to killing them, because she didn't die. BUT, he was willing to put the 2 men into the hospital for SEVERAL MONTHS due to their actions as well as the general abuse of a woman being viewed as something that you would inflict SERIOUS injury for doing.
Luca Brasi was a BRUTE in the book, one of the most feared people in the entire "underworld of crime" for his brutality and sheer physical presence (intimidation). So, for him to be invited to the wedding was a surprise because he was aware of how other people in the family felt about him (feared him) AND there was a section in the book where Sony/Luca had a bit of a "beef" when Sony was younger. So there was some "bad blood" in the background. But Vito invited him because Luca was Vito's "main enforcer", and inviting Luca was a signal to the other "family bosses" that they were "going to be respectful... or else". (Vito invited Luca as a WARNING to the other families to behave at the wedding)
Horse head in the bed was actually real (from a glue factory)... but the MESSAGE was that Don Vito could "get to you, even in your own home", while costing you $600,000 (which was a lot of money to buy the horse) for saying "no". Continue TO say "no" and the consequences wouldn't be personal harm, it would be ruining your career, reputation AND THEN personal harm.
Killing Luca was NOT out of concern over a "potential spy". They killed him to remove the ONE man in the entire Corleone organization that would NOT stop coming after people who he FELT was responsible for the attack on Don Vito. AND he would be a "loose cannon" because nobody else (specifically Sony at the time) would be able to "control" Luca with Vito out of the picture. So they killed Luca BEFORE attacking the Don in order to remove potential retaliation that would seriously hurt their organization and their business dealings, because Luca actually had the connections (and methods) to find out who was responsible and how to get to them.
All the "spooky" empty hospital hallways was actually due to the camera crew setting up earlier and ensuring focus and lighting of a scene. So they used all that "unused footage" before a scene started to splice together the "empty hallways" portions, that upon editing, turned out to be REALLY creepy overall.
The "baker" at the hospital actually filmed his "first scene" on the steps with Al Pacino. He had NEVER worked in movies before, so when he started to shiver out of frayed nerves, it was REALLY due to being afraid of screwing up. Picking up on it PERFECTLY, Michael's line of "You did good" was improvised, and that was really more Al Pacino telling the guy that it worked out and would be a good scene in the movie. (Lighting his cigarette was the ONLY part that was truly scripted).
We don't get subtitles in the restaurant because it DID NOT MATTER what he had to say. Michael didn't trust him, was going to kill him, and KNEW that anything he had to say was just going to be said in order to "buy time" before he did a second attack. So we were pretty much put in Michael's mindset at the time of "just making sounds" because he was NOT really interested in what he had to say to begin with. (Which is also why the metro's sound is HEIGHTENED in order to represent in sound where Michael's mental thoughts were.... at the "end of the line" and waiting for a bit of noise to silence the sound of the shots)
Why Michael's "baptism by blood" actually went off without a hitch is due to the fact that all the other heads of different families UNDERESTIMATED Michael's ability to not only PLAN such a huge move, but actually PULL IT OFF due to the Corleone family appearing to be "weak" due to not making movies to "keep the peace" and Michael being viewed as "in over his head". So basically they underestimated his mental ability, his ruthless attitude AND his "power" to pull it off. Which ironically, AFTER pulling it off, pretty much cemented Michael as pretty much the "MAIN BOSS" of the entire city of New York. The other families were still around, but either weakened to the point of not being a threat ever again ... OR pretty much collapsing and having to operate under Michael's control.
Great comment. I would like to add that when Vito places his hand on his heart and says to the heads of the five families that he would not break the peace made in that meeting, he knew fully well that Michael was coming home and Michael would break the peace. So Vito kept his word. I've always loved that.
Excellent overview, perfect I couldn't have done better.
Brando also had a soft spot for cats
have loved the movie for decades, now i have to read the book
There are various and inconsistent comments about the cat. I need verification from a credible source.
Dawn Corleone : "I want to be the Godfather! No one could stop me. Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes, that's a great way to do it, I have to take notes..."
This reaction made my day.
The insult that Connie and her husband yelled at each other means to put something up one's bung hole. It's the Italian equivalent of telling someone "f...you"
Her real name would be Dawn Andolini, but she will find out in her next reaction...
It's more like 'fuck off'
Well, after watching your reaction I know two things about you, Dawn. One, you didn't grow up on a farm (I mean, a cow's head in the bed? That was his prized breeding horse's head). And, two, I'm not going to ever mess with you. (A girl who hears "sleeps with the fishes" and responds by saying, "Oh, that's a good way to do it. I've got to take notes" is no one to be trifled with.)
She IS Scottish after all.
"They have plans!" " Let me in on them... I need to know your doing the right thing"
@@Kasino80 do scottish people sleep with the fishes?
I Just paused at the horse scene, it's was too much cringe that she didn't reconized the horse from a few minutes ago. I'm not gonna continue watching this video no more
His name isn't Don -- it's Vito. Don is a title, not a name. It's like a boss.
You'll see how and why Don Corleone moved to America in the second film. It's a prequel and a sequel and it's as good, if not better than part 1.
I'm really looking forward to your reaction to it.
That’s the perfect description of the second movie. It’s not better, but if you loved the original it’s a must watch. It’s always annoyed me that people consider the second one better.
@@imbatemanCan’t agree enough on all points. Part II is good in its own right but is NOT better.
Even better. In almost every way Robert De Niro plays a real Sicilian much more than Marlon Brando. 😊
@@arturocostantino623 That’s just a contrarian point of view. The sequel is good on its own but whether it’s better is a matter of opinion.
@@arturocostantino623 at some point around 30-40 years ago, every film snob decided part 2 was superior, and it stuck to this day. I can’t argue one way or the other. It just annoys me. I prefer the first, but understand how someone would prefer the second.
Best line in the movie, IMO, "Leave the gun, take the cannolis".
100%
If you'll allow me a language nerd moment: It's just "Cannoli." Cannoli is plural in Italian.
Absolutely
And improvised.
But Clemenza says cannolis, and he is Italian, so....But you're probably right anyway.@@Joshu_Y
A COW's head? That's the funniest
misinterpretation of a movie scene
I've ever seen. Wow.
A cow? They just showed you in a scene prior, his prized horse.
IKR!?? WTF!?
@@cyber6sapien 9:19 He is referring to this
@kraigthorne3549 but cyber6sapien was thinking the same thing...Obviously he knew what he was referring to. Why otherwise would he say i know right wtf?!
She says "the murder of two teenagers", when he specifically says, not to kill them. It's like she's watching a subtly different movie.
Your Godfather impression with a Scottish accent is brilliant. 😉🤣
The head in his bed was that of the horse he paid 600,000.00 for. Not only did they cut the horse head off, they were close enough to him to put it in his bed while he was sleeping.
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕💕
The Godfather is perfection. Editing, writing, directing, music, cinematography -- everything works in harmony to tell a timeless story that I can enjoy again and again. Brando won his second Academy Award for his portrayal of Don Corleone, in '73. His first was for On The Waterfront in 1954, which is another classic you need to see, by the way! He's spellbinding!
The first 2 Godfather movies are the greatest film ever made. I always think of them as one story. The actress playing Don Corleone's daughter is Talia Shire, the director's sister. She also played Adrian in the Rocky movies. This movie is packed with so many great performances. It wasn't a cow's head in the bed, it was the head of the very expensive race horse.
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕💕 💕 💕
Funny story about the first two movies: Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather books was hired to adapt the novels to screenplay. Only problem is he had zero experience in screenwriting and said he felt like a fraud, even after winning two Oscars. So Mario went out to buy a book on how to write scripts because he wanted to do more work in Hollywood. The first chapter in the book said "Study the first two Godfather movies."
Back story info, Micheal at 15 said at the dinner table said that he would rather die then be a man like his father . His father said he shares that wish. So no the don didn't want Mike to get in the business
That part with " Michael Corleone do you renounce Satan' as the bosses were being killed is amazing.
Michael was played by Al Pacino.
He also plays Satan in Devil's Advocate.
"Was that a cow? Was that a poor cow?!"
You're killing me here, Dawn.
Best. Mike.
I was dying too 😂😂😂
The traditional interpretation of the story is that Vito was THE Godfather because he had certain personality characteristics. Each of his sons got something but no one got the total package. Fredo got the ability to be warm with people. Sonny had the ability to use violence instantly. Michael learned how to do strategic planning and execution.
The titular Godfather here is Michael. This is a Shakespearean tragedy as we follow Michael’s descent. We start with “That’s my family, not me.” We end with the lies.
Michael started the movie quietly but firmly hating everything his family stood for. At the end, he's become everything he hated.
The house with the pool is also in the movie, The Jerk w/ Steve Martin.
The house is actually up for sale here in LA so if you have $150,000,000 lying around it could be yours.
The black horse’s head that was put into the movie director’s bed was his expensive prized stallion that he showed to Tom Hagen during the walk through his estate stables. And, the reaction from the actor was fairly real-in rehearsals, it was a prop but when they shot the scene, a real head was delivered from a local slaughterhouse.
Came from the New York City meat district by way of the mob and Joe Columbo!
Coppola was not happy with the prop head that the property department supplied so Joe Colombo found out about it and gifted him a real one!!!
Wait! What?! It wasn't cow's head? 🤯
And yes, that was a real severed horse head. They used a dummy head during rehearsals and the director felt it looked too fake. So, some crewmembers went to a nearby dog food factory (yes, they used to add horse parts to dog food) and they bought a severed horse head. They placed it under the sheets and didn't tell the actor about the switch. The shock and screams from the actor were genuine as he realized what it was. Understandably, they only did one take as the scene freaked out the actor. Also, the line, "leave the gun, take the cannoli" was improvised by the actor who played clemenza. This is among my top five films of all time.
They used to add horse parts to lasagne too.
🐴🤮@@SRPM-yk9xw
Makes me think of what Dan Ayckroyd said in The Great Outdoors, about what hot dogs are made of.
Now that you've seen "The Godfather", you need to see "The Offer" (2022). It's the story of the making of "The Godfather" told in a 10-part miniseries. It's really amazing what the makers of the movie went through to get the film made.
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕
Definitely a great watch
The cat wasn't part of the scene. It was just a random cat, wandering around the set, and Brando picked it up and started petting it.
17:43 "What a shame! He's a baker, he's not built to be security" That's true. Although despite that, he did what he had to do to protect the don. I'd rather have a loyal baker than an unreliable bodyguard. Al Capone even had a famous quote about that: he said "I'd rather four quarters than a hundred pennies". In other words, it's better to have a few loyal friends than a bunch of crappy, unreliable ones.
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕💕
if i had $1 for every time my late dad said
"Enzo! The baker!"
I'd had all the money in the world LOL
You felt that you'd seen the actor who played Tom in something before.
His name is Robert Duvall and after watching some of your previous videos I remember that one of them was True Grit.
That might be where you remember him from. But he has been in so many films over the years.
Robert Duvall was in True Grit?
Frank Sinatra eventually got the part of maggio in From Here to Eternaty
The key in Coppola's mind was to make the movie about family, and not the mob.
The director decided to have an open call for some of the supporting parts. One was Tessio, played by Abe Vigoda. He had done some acting off Broadway before this movie. Afterwards, he became famous for his role as Detective Fish on the series Barney Miller. It made his career.
Jack Woltz's house, also known as the Beverly House, has been used in several movies, including The Godfather (1972), The Bodyguard, and Fletch. In The Godfather, the house is the home of movie producer Jack Woltz, a rival of the Corleone family, and features a scene where he wakes up with the head of his horse in his bed. The house has also been featured in Beyoncé's 2020 visual album Black Is King, The Beverly House is a 1927 estate located in Beverly Hills that's known for its palatial details and H-form architecture. The main residence has 29 bedrooms, an 82-foot hallway, a 32-foot billiards room, and an arched promenade that overlooks the property's grounds. The gardens were designed by landscape architect Paul Thiene and feature a near Olympic-size pool surrounded by smaller fountains.
Talia Shire who played Connie Corleone also played Adrian in Rocky.
And she is Francis Ford Coppola’s sister. She’s also Jason Scwartzman’s mother and Nicolas Cage’s aunt. A very talented family.

Enzo the baker was at the hospital to thank the Godfather for helping him stay in America, a favor granted on Connie's wedding day. Additionally, the undertaker was paying back the Godfather's favor by restoring Sonny's body.
The cat's the real godfather 😊
Reminded me of the role of Solomon, the Persian Angora feline actor that was lovingly pampered by Blofeld in the James Bond films: From Russia with Love (1963), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971).
He was looking at the lighter because he realized he wasn't scared and his hands weren't shaking. The Don DID NOT want Mike to be a criminal, he was hoping he would be a politician or something.
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕💕
I'm a 71 yr old Veteran and you make me feel like I'm watching a movie with a Grandkid! And I thank you! Peace.

He didn't died killed, but playing with his grandson, the next generation of la familia. Best death ever for him.

Never watch the Godfather movies on an empty stomach.
The second one is incredible. No spoilers, but it's one of the great works of the cinema. I envy you seeing these for the first time.
3:40 It was made clear twice that he WASN'T going to have the two guys killed and why. Just severely injured.
Don is not a name, it's a title. In the UK it would be kinda like calling someone Lord or Sir.
Al Pacino as Michael Corleone is arguably the greatest performance in history imo. The evolution from Part 1 to Part 2 of his astonishing. The words for this movie are not enough, simply perfection.
He's better in 2 IMO.
@@flarrfan agreed. Feel Michael had just more emotional scenes where Al Pacino could really go for it. Was still phenomenal in 1 though in different ways to 2 with more use of body language and facial expressions.
REACT TO: Sergio Leone's "Once Upon A Time In America" (1984) 4 hr. Extended cut.
It's one of the BEST (underrated) gangster movies of ALL time, & it's not fictional like the first Godfather.
Really hoping you watch the second one. Arguably the greatest sequel ever made.
Tied with ALIENS.

The scene with Michael and the Don in the garden is just so beautifully acted. The emotions from Marlon Brando feel genuine and from the heart as though they really are father and son. that scene always makes me tear up! Two screen legends together making it look easy. Your reaction was great for this, dead pan serious to cheeky chuckles 👏
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕
In the opening scene, where The Don say's "we're not murderers" is because the men who assaulted the undertaker's daughter weren't involved with organized crime. Killing people was part of their business, but killing people who weren't a part of that business was considered by him and others in that "family" was "murder."
He actually says "We are not murdering".
@@catherinelw9365incorrect
No. He says we are not murderers because the undertaker asks for the guys to be killed but his daughter is still alive. He literally says
"...you ask me for murder"
"I ask for justice"
"That is not justice, your daughter is still alive"
@@dsorichetti154 So? He says "We are not murdering". The rest of your gibberish is irrelevant.
absolute great movie making. This movie never gets old.
A COW?????
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕
Dawn Corleone- I like it!
The Don's wife, who sang at Connie's wedding, was an Italian singer in real life. When she finished singing she said what sounded like "Figu bedoo". My sicilian grandmother used to call us grandkids that all the time. It is Sicilian dialect for "figlio bello," which means "beautiful child".
That was the weirdest shaped cow's head I have ever seen ! 🤣🤣🤣
Godfather 2 is one of the best sequels ever❤
Along with Terminator 2 and Smurfs 2 - The Smurfining.
The detective who tells Captain McCloskey that Michael is a war hero is Sonny Grosso who was the real life detective played by Roy Scheider in "The French Connection". ( He also played a cameo part as a detective in that film.)
One of my personal favorite movies. I'm so happy to see you react to it. I need to watch it again myself ...
"Don Dawn" is catchy. 😁 I think that most Godfather fans say that Godfather II is even better than the first. Another awesome reaction! Thanks, Dawn! ❤
Well said😊
Except it would be donna for a female.
Yes, there is a big scene that the Simpsons recreates with Marge doing exactly what Sonny does. 🙂
"I have to take notes."
Fantastic 🤣
Don Marie:
Your impression of Don Corleone almost got a spit-take out of me that I couldn't refuse.
Best. Mike.
One of the best reactions to this film ever👏👏
Keep it going❤️
Don Coreleone imitation in an Scottish accent. 😅 Love it.
The reason there are no subtitles in the restaurant is because, Coppola the directed, wanted to emphasis their facial expressions and body language. It really isn't important what they say.
I remember a documentary saying that when the movie 'management' spoke to some organised crime families, they said that they didn't have a problem with the novel being made into a film, as long as the 'M' word isn't used.
The pools you saw at the studio head's house were also Navin Johnson's pools in The Jerk!
i want to se more Pacino. Scent of a woman, Scarface and Carlitos Way are great movies!
In the book Michael had the mark for years because of a severe broken jaw and it took corrective surgery to fix it
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕💕 💕
Dawn Marie- there's a great series from last year called "The Offer" about the making of this film. The English guy Matthew Goode who plays Robert Evans nails it. Juno Temple is awesome as well.
You're going to take notes?
Kid, you reaffirm my faith in humanity!
Amazing film, so many classic moments - the second is even better IMO!
Don Marie, you have a reaction channel, you tell your audience what you think all the time. Never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again.
The baby in the baptism scene is actually the director Francis Ford Coppola's daughter Sofia.
Who plays Michael's daughter in the Godfather 3.
I like part 2 even better. Largely because of Robert DeNiro playing a young Vito. BTW, "Slap him, and not with your hands" had me crying laughing!
I've always had an issue with the lack of resemlance between Brando and DeNiro (and of course the "Italian" both of them pretend to speak 😁).
@@tubekulose Use your imagination.
@@catherinelw9365 When I read Mario Puzo's novel, I do.
When I watch a movie, I want to be able to trust the casting director. 😁
I was half expecting her to say ,”shoot ‘em in the eye”.
It's a trilogy Dawn. Another film along this line is, "Once Upon a Time in America", it's a excellent film equally as good as this in my opinion.
This one is a must ! Leone was a genius
The phrasing here about "Once Upon a Time in America" could lead one to think it's part of "The Godfather" trilogy; it's a separate, wonderful movie that's another "personal narrative" of organized crime's establishment in the U.S. The third "The Godfather" movie has received much negative feedback, somewhat deserved, but it does put the end to the story. It IS WORTH THE VIEW despite the poor reviews. It's sometimes called "The Death of Michael Corleone" or "The Godfather: CODA." Seek it out if only to be able to say you saw the whole franchise.
@@KreshDraven6Thank you, of course I agree totally.
@@artbagley1406Sorry, I didn't mean it to come across that way, just that it deals with similar content. The third part of the Godfather trilogy is the weakest but should be seen regardless, because as you say it it ends the story nicely.
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. No problem at-all, Sir; I agree GF3 is a weaker film, is convoluted and confusing at times. There are several plot points expanded upon and/or finalized to make the trio of films more interesting and satisfying (Andy Garcia's character's advancement in The Family; further deterioration of Michael's ethics and health; Anthony's operatic success and his Dad's acceptance of facts; and more).
What Don Corleone said to Sonny was
"Never tell anyone outside the family what you're thinking again."
He's meaning never tip your hand by being honest and telling anyone what your actual thoughts are. Always put up a front to anyone you can't trust. And anyone you can't trust is anyone outside our family. Which is different than what you said. They're allowed to speak just not be entirely honest about everything or anything. They're playing a dangerous game at all times.
Mama Corleone, who sang at the wedding, was played by Morgana King. She was not primarily an actor, but was a very famous jazz singer.
Dawn, you cracked me up so hard when you impersonated Don Corleone and then brought it back at the end of your review. "Best Review Ever"
You are going to love part two! Cant wait. :)
Very impressed with your intuitiveness... You caught many things on the first viewing that most people miss. There's still much more to uncover... I highly suggest a few more viewings... Especially considering this is widely considered the best film ever made.
Its scary how she lightens up when someone is killed
I love how the camera closes up with Michael as he lays how to kill the Captain and Salotzo (sp?).
Part two is possibly even better than this one. You must watch 3 to finish the story, but it’s not as good. My great grandparents came from Sicily around 1900-1905. How the Don was playing with his grandson before dying reminds me exactly of my great grandfather. His looks, mannerisms, the clothes, everything is almost exactly how I remember my great grandfather
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕💕 💕
You are the best reactor ever!! So damn clever, witty and just outright funny. Thank you so much for your uploads.
You are the loudspeaker for my mind, I could not agree more.
Ive seen this movie thousand times probably but it does not get old the music in this movies is really good so thank you for reaction to this movies.
November 1977 Godfather played on TV for the first time in four parts four consecutive nights. It would be the first restricted movie I ever saw. We were all talking about it in school the next day. Best channel ever Dawn Corleone.
cow head???? That was the guy's $600,000 horse.
Love this movie and love your reaction. Funniest backstory about Godfather I think is that Luca Brasi actor at 5:08 was real gangster and he shot that scene first with that horrible acting. Coppola didn't know what to do with him and then he shot 4:50 later making it look like he mumbled because he was nervous around Godfather. Brilliant directing. Brando's facial expression at 5:15 is his real reaction to the bad acting.
No, the guy who played Luca Brasi was a wrestler not a gangster.
@@kingcassius2586 Could be both. I just checked Wikipedia and it claims that he was a wrestler and worked as an enforcer for the Colombo crime family.
But after all it is Wikipedia, so take that for what it is.
@@kingcassius2586 Him being gangster was from Coppola interview.
he was with colombos i belive them who pay and set up the mansion house to movie @@kingcassius2586
Best. Reaction. EVER! Right down to the Italian music at the end (which comes directly after your very-Italian hand flourish!) Yes, that is Diane Keaton! Queen of Comedy....AND Drama! That's why the very first thing Woody says to Annie Hall is "I feel like I'm standing with the cast of The Godfather!" 🤣 Can't wait for you to see Part 2!!!!! Pacino and Robert Duvall (Tom Hagen) were like Jack Nicholson, Robert Deniro, Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman in the 70s: just absolute fantastic acting......and they all took their inspiration from Marlon Brando (Don Corleone) who had changed the game of acting in the early 50s with "Streetcar Named Desire" (great movie!). Must see-Pacino in the 70s: Dog Day Afternoon and Serpico. (Serpico was what he made between Godfather 1 & 2, Dog Day Afternoon he made after Godfather 2). Robert Duvall (Tom Hagen), so many great movies, "Network" and "Apocalyspe Now" (which also stars Brando and is directed again by Godfather director Francis Ford Coppolla..........and HE directed "The Conversation" the same year he did "Godfather Part 2"! Two masterpieces in one year! We can go on and on, actor by actor, this movie has so many great ones! As does Part 2! (Part 3 is lame and was made 20 years later, the first two are perfection, the third is cheesy 90s.) THANK YOU , DAWN! YOU ARE THE BEST!
Agreed. 1000%. All of those movies are fantastic.
@straypigs Out of that list of actors you mentioned, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duvall, and Gene Hackman were (and for all I know, probably still are) very close friends, having been roommates during their lean younger days.
@@user-mg5mv2tn8q Yes, I know, isn't that incredible? And Hackman & Hoffman were first friends in a California acting class.....where they were looked on as the biggest losers! This was in the 50s and all these himbos were practicing twirling their guns......plenty of work in Hollywood for westerns, both in film and on TV! Meanwhile, these guys were deep into Brando and the method and all that. Hackman (Unforgiven) and Hoffman (Little Big Man) sure had the last laugh, didn't they? 🤣
So totally loved your verdict on Fredo! 13:04 "Useless!" Spoken from the bottom of my heart! 😁
You’d make a great Dawnfather.
Watch "The Godfather 2", then ignore "The Godfather 3". Part 3 does a disservice to the entire franchise.
Edit:
Watch "The Godfather 2", then wait a while and watch "The Godfather 3". Then you can see just what a disservice it does to the entire "Godfather" story-verse.
Absolutely agree
Ignire this comment. #3 is an excellent film, nominated for best picture Oscar. All three are mandatory views.
My 2 cents : Godfather 3 would a pretty good film as standalone. Unfortunately it isn't - it's part of a trilogy, and the first two parts are both great. So it looks bad by comparison.
I frequently wish I could unwatch part 3.
@@nittyblahblah8939That's an American Italian pronunciation. It's pronounced Cor-ley-oh-ney.
To answer about Italian cooking. Yes, my grandmother taught me how to cook Italian when I was just a kid.
Amazing cast!
Brando and Duvall both make an appearance in Apocalypse Now.
Brando and Lee Marvin are central in The Wild One (1953)
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕💕 💕
Cow, horse what the difference. She is a blond 😬
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕
Honestly, a common trait of reactors in general are really infuriating because THEY DON'T PAY ANY FRIGGIN ATTENTION TO THE GODDAMN MOVIE. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick I always end up shouting at the screen: "ARE WE WATCHING THE SAME MOVIE?! JUST PAY ATTENTION!!!" It's not about being some veteran film buff who comments on the colour shading used in certain scenes it's just watching the movie and paying attention to what's being said! Yeesh.
Also, not surprised at the long list of simps that support Dawn on Pateron. Newsflash you mouth breathers! She isn't gonna F#$% you because she's blonde, blue eyed, watches a bunch of movies that you like and has an accent. She isn't your waifu, she's playing the internet game just fine and playing you like a fiddle for a shekel or two.
I wanna have a conversation with you 💕
That accent of yours is awesome... during the christening scene, when you said "ooohh it's a baby", i was honestly waiting for "get in my belly!" 😂😂
It's amazing how everyone sides with the Corleone family. It's a testament to the storytelling that these violent criminals are sympathetic.
