It's like those nonagenarian ex-Nazis who are only now being put on trial for their crimes in WW2: whatever their age, they deserve to be made to answer for what they did.
@Nate Higgers True but she wasn't a killer. Very few people have the nerve to kill another human.....especially slitting their throat. I'd go as far as to say a good many people couldn't bring themselves to kill someone if their lives depended on it.
The killing was symbolic. Don Ciccio may have been dying, but dying naturally of old age after ruining the lives of many and ending the lives of many people, Vito's father included, was something that Vito didn't want to happen. He wanted him to feel the pain of people who were weak and defenceless, so that his last moment on earth would be a painful one.
Coppola should have gone full circle and had Fabritzio betray Michael with that car bomb because he was Don Ciccio's grandson rather than doing it for a pizza franchise.
@@falconeshield People think Don Ciccio was an evil man for killing his mom, but he did what any wise Don would do in that Mafia world when you take a family out. If you don't take out the child...he'll grow up and come for you and that's exactly what happened.🤷🏿♂
+TheCoolProfessor That can of olive oil belong to another family,not that of the Corleone.It belong to the Gambino family,which Don Ciccio family will go after in the days that lies ahead..;)))))

@@james3414 I have no idea why you're saying that like it doesn't make sense. Yes. People LITERALLY aged faster in the past because of the harsher conditions.
Yeah! He watched his mother beg this man for mercy and Don Ciccio responded with a cold “NO!” “When he gets older he will seek revenge” “and kill me.” Exactly what happened!
Ciccio made that a self fulfilling prophecy by killing Vito's dad and brother then killing his mother for trying to protect him. He validated his own paranoia.
One thing I love about this trilogy is the fact that when they did things in Italy, they got actual Italian actors who were from the area, or at least knew the dialect of Italian. It’s really cool to see proper Sicilian dialect in an American made movie
The funny thing is the actor who plays opposite Robert DeNIro, Don Tommasino, was Mario Cotone, a Neapolitan!!! He later became a big Italian movie producer. I used to go out with his company's administrative director who told me everything....he even made his own olive oil in Umbria!!!
Seriously one of the most impressive performances I've ever seen. And he nailed Marlon Brando's voice and cadence and the way he carried himself without it feeling like a mere imitation. I've seen Robert De Niro in a million movies and yet I fully believed I was just watching a younger version of Brando from the first film.
Vito is shown in both films as a calculated decent guy who only did what was necessary to be done and that killing was a last resort. He's the kind of guy that poses no danger to you whatsoever if you just treat him the way you want him to treat you. Michael on the other hand spent the entire 2nd film alienating Tom Hagen and others.
And that's the tragedy of the Godfather: None of the brothers were Vito. -Sonny was strong willed, but also impulsive and temperamental. -Fredo was compassionate, but also weak and eager to please. -Michael was calculating, but also lacked compassion. -Tom was intelligent, but also lacked cunningness.
I probably wouldn't go as far as comparing Michael with Vito in that way. A lot of Michael's experiences were (imho) shaped by his circumstances and things that kept happening. When Michael became Godfather, he had lost almost everything - the old empire that was built on trust was also lost. Tessio has to be killed, Connie was widowed, Sonny was dead, Vito was dead, Apollonia was dead. Vito's story was much different - he had just started out and was building relationships and didn't have to deal with betrayals that early. He also didn't have a brother trying to kill him either. He had his wife, his caporegimes, his children and his wits that made him big.
@@m22d889 Vito's difficult past was a blessing in disguise. It made him into a well rounded person who knew the value of genuine friendship and trust which made him both a happier man and a better man than Michael could ever be.
@@tomnorton4277 Again, how you judge who the "better person" is, is contextual. Michael is largely accepted to be a tragic character, victim of circumstance and generally having to adapt to a grim situation involving death too quickly. If there is a comparison, it should always be on equal grounds. And like I said, Vito didn't have an elder brother trying to kill him. He didn't have to pick up an already established but crumbling empire to try and sustain it, he could build it the way he wanted. Michael had no choices and was constantly pushed into decisions mostly outside of his control.
Here is a lesson to be taken, no matter how many years pass or how many power you can get, eventually you will pay the price for not returning that book you stole all those years ago
something i've noticed after more than a few viewings of this film, the early Don Ciccio scenes shows a well kept garden and estate complete with blooming flowers. This scene, which is supposed to be about 20 to 30 years later shows a yard full of overgrown plants, grass and dead flowers. love the detail.
That must have been the sweetest revenge. He probably imagined that moment a million times before he actually did it. He must have filled with adrenaline stronger than any drug as soon as he stepped foot on the estate.
@@gulholdingsgroupltd7084 his Sicilian accent made him say something like " figghiu di bottana" , in italian: "figlio di put*ana" (*t) wich means Son of a bi*ch
I can't help but noticed how much more run down his home has gotten compared to when we see it at the beginning of the film. The flowers have lost their color, the walls have lost their paint, the railings look rusty... just overall signs of neglect. I think Coppola tried to show us in a subtle way that this mafia boss's power has declined over the years.
It’s telegraphing the decline of the mafia’s power in general as well. It may also be a reflection of how glamorous the life of a Don may seem to the young versus the gritty reality of it.
@@MrSoopSA This scene takes place in 1922, just months before Missolini's March on Rome. One of the many promises he made to Italy was stamping out the Mafia once and for all in Sicily and the South, and he was successful enough that much of the Mafia emigrated to America to escape him. So this really was at the tail end of the Mafia's control over Sicily at the time while also showong how they grew in power in America.
The only thing that would have been better in this scene if he would make him look at his face a little longer so he could recognize the horror that was about to happen to him.
He does ask Vito to come closer when he tells him the name of his father. For a moment there I think he was in disbelief at the possibility that Antonio Andoleni's son was standing infront of him.
Boyardee was a friend of our family and attended my parents' wedding. He was a good friend of both my grandpas. One of my relatives was asked to invest in his idea but declined.... "who would ever buy pasta in a can?"
At this age it probably took a while for nerves to send right impulse and even then he had to figure out if he was stabbed, got hit with diarrhea, or what. Dude looked absolutely ancient
I know a Sicilian-Australian guy whose maternal grandfather was killed by the mafia. He said his mother and her sisters were all fortunate to be born girls.
i just realized that while Don Ciccio's hearing was definitely weakening, him asking Vito to come closer after he mentions his father's name might have been less of him being unable to hear and more of fear and apprehension that retribution for everything he had done was finally coming to him.
He hears fine up until that point it seems. He never asks someone to repeat themselves until he asks his father’s name. I feel like it’s disbelief. He really got comfortable because he was in his 90s and thought he was going to live out his final days in peace
***** its so silly of you to write that. obviously people from different cultural back grounds have different opinions on what it means to act "honorable".
I gotta say i agree, this was one of the first gangster movies made in america, and it i have to admit that this is one of the most iconic movies in film history
Don Vito: I beat you to it! That's why I stood by all my dying friends so their souls can go in peace! (Referring to the deleted scene with Vito and his original consigliere)
This has to be one of the most brutal movie scenes I've ever seen. You feel like you are really there, taking part in the action, and can feel the pain and agony of getting stabbed and eviscerated at the same time.
Law Abiding Citizen's scene with Gerard Butler killing the man slowly who killed his wife and daughter, with a mirror so he can see it happen to him and a drug that has him paralyzed yet offers no relief from the pain of dying slowly was in the top 50. Butler chopped dude alive yet made sure he felt everything and couldn't scream or die quickly was brutal, Chinese torture stuff.
I think that what makes it more brutal is how they didn’t add an over the top squelchy/gorey sound you’d expect from a movie. It’s mostly silent, just like a cut in real life.
I've watched so many De Niro movies. In each movie, he plays the same character: tough guy who is easily capable of violence, murder, robbery, and mayhem. That's true from "Taxi Driver" to "The Irishman." I enjoyed watching him the first couple of movies, but after a while, he becomes boring. I eventually watch the movies despite De Niro, not because of him. Why everyone thinks he is so great is beyond my ken. Maybe everyone thinks he, Pacino and Brando, etc are so great because they were told so by Hollywood, critics, etc.
@@williamharris9196 Hey William, thanks for your comment. In return, I would be interested to know which actresses or actors appeal to you more? Do you even have a favorite actor? Best regards
Agree. I've long thought that De Niro's challenge in this role was doubly hard, as he not only needed to create this character but he had to make him seem like the younger version of one of the best-known characters in film history. So he had to be De Niro doing Brando doing Vito if Brando were younger. Vito was always proud of maintaining his composure, so it's fun to watch De Niro here be a cipher while being introduced. Just the faintest hint of a smile when he hears the old man wanting him to approach closer, just the kind of very small reaction Brando-as-Vito would have had.
except brando was more of a caricature of an italian mobster, full of assumed fake italian mannerisms by americans while De Niro's was more natural and human both the accent and mannerisms.
What makes this scene wonderful is watching it a second time once you know how it ends. When you see it the first time, you don't understand why Vito is holding a coat over his arm and why he keeps on looking behind him nervously. Only afterwards do you realize that he is hiding the knife under the coat and that he is looking behind him to make sure none of the guards and standing there. Brilliant.
@@diamondgirls6541 Well, fair enough, I mean everyone watching the film knows that Don Cicci was responsible for the deaths of his father, his mother and his brother, and what the Sicilian code of honor demanded (indeed, Don Cicci himself mentioned it when Vito's mother was killed), so I should have seen it coming, but it still was a surprise when I first saw the film years ago - I remember thinking at first: "Vito is going to do business with Don Cicci? He must be more of a cold-hearted organized crime boss than I thought!" - and then came the knife thrust out of nowhere! Maybe my experience was not that of the majority of viewers, but I was totally conned.
This is, believe it or not, my favorite scene in the entire series. Why? Because of the look on Vito's face after he carves up the man who murdered his entire family. He doesn't look angry, just disgusted that he got some of Ciccio's blood on him, like he was a scumbag who wasn't worth Corleone having to wash his hands over. Powerful.
Vito should have cut don ciccio to pieces. Take his organs out and stacked them up, put his body parts all over his property, and then set fire to the building. Then after it burned, piss on the ashes. Make it look very witchy.

@@jonathanb1406 I agree with the music part. Most mainstream stuff out there nowadays doesn't hold a candle to the older stuff. You'll find good current music outside the mainstream though.
@@brandonz1453 But it's needless to add qualifiers like "mainstream" though. The fact is there is an abundance of great music and films everywhere, made all the time, every year. The idea of what's mainstream is flexible and always has been. In the 60's Bob Dylan was mainstream, now it's Taylor Swift, but it doesn't mean Bob Dylan has gone away. It's all still there. People just have to look a little more now and they just want everything handed to them on a plate.
@@jonathanb1406 I'm not even getting into the movies part because I am very specific with the kind of movies I like. You wanna hear my definition of mainstream? How about the stuff America and the West feed the rest of the world? Here in South America, almost all the non spanish stuff we get comes from the US charts, always has. And to my ears, a lot of this stuff nowadays sounds soulless or contrived. I find that music that came out earlier, if you are willing to follow my definition of "mainstream" had a lot more feeling. Again, thanks to the internet, you can go outside these circles and find music that has more depth and authenticity. For example, I love modern Japanese Jazz. But to say that the fact that I and other people find a lot of these modern trends uninspiring is lazy..well i don't agree. It boils down to personal perception. And to point out I am not bashing "mainstream" music at all. My 4 favorite bands of all time? The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pink Floyd, Soundgarden, and Queen. Hardly underground stuff. Cheers.
Ciccio doesn't even seem to register Antonio Andolini's name when Vito says it, would have been better to see some recognition in his face that his own prophecy had come true
Over his long life he probably ruined lives of hundred if not thousands of people like Andolini family. Even if he was more lucid, I doubt he would recall the death of Antonio. To him it was Tuesday after all.
Vito also definetly gave one of the biggest insults in the mob world when he killed ciccio after he gave vito his blessing. It shows how iconic this is since a blessing from a mob boss is considered one of the most sacred things in the mob world. Still this scene would have been perfect if vito had said something like this is for killing my father and ciccio showed fear right before he got gutted open like a fish since he remembered who vito was.
I don't even think Cicio comprehended what the hell was happening😂😂 "I give this guy a blessing, he murmurs that he is son of some guy I don't even recall, and proceeds to gut me, Jesus." 😂
In my opinion this is such a satisfying scene. Imagine being a small child who escaped from the man who killed your entire family, and the. Returning more powerful than him. It's also ironic because Vito Corleone's mother promised that her son would not seek revenge if he was allowed to leave, but Don Ciccio refuses and kills his mother. It's funny because at that point, Vito was definitely going to seek revenge and that's what he ended up doing, but if Don Ciccio allowed Vito to live, he probably never would've seeked revenge
I don’t think you could ever rule out revenge if you whacked someone’s dad and brother. Even if Don Ciccio agreed to have Vito off limits, Vito would only honor his mom’s “deal” for the remainder of her life. And Don Ciccio’s only hope of avoiding payback would mean Vito’s mom had to outlive him. It’s quite a lot of stress to live through.
I agree. Although I loved Godfather I, I left the theater so disappointed due to the fact that they left out Vito Corleone's early life and rise to power. It was my favorite part of the book.
In this scene, I wish Don Ciccio gave a reaction of the last name Andolini, before being gutted. But it just seemed that Ciccio didn't even recognize the name in the scene before getting stabbed. This scene irked me quite a bit. Especially since earlier in the movie he made a big scene on trying to find Vito in case of revenge.
lol its not such a big deal the big hunt was more to emphasize how later scenes like this one com to happen if you think about it why should he remember one name among possibly thousands don's in Sicily are far different than dons in America they hold power and sway as lands owners and are recognized as almost regional governors by everyone but the supposed government.
true but I think it was more realistic that he didn't react to the name. This guy was a don, responsible for hundreds of deaths. There were probably a hundred stories like Vito's. I'm just glad the bastard got it at the end
Julio cloudybrain Dominic Thompson I thought he did recognise it because he hears "My Name is Vito Corleone..." perfectly but when he asks what his fathers name is he asks Vito to repeat it. I always thought it was because Ciccio thinking he was mistaken as he recognised the name and just kidding himself that he heard different.
No one seems to mention the ACTOR playing Don Ciccio. Excellent performance when you compare this scene to his only other one at the beginning of the movie
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 He was probably a theatre actor for his entire career until he occasionally got some part in movies (the number is in the single digits). Amazingly he lived to almost 100, dying in 2001.
At the starts one of Don Ciccio's men said young Vito would one day would grow up and avenge his father's death, he grew up to avenge both his parents deaths :p
Vito cut Don Ciccio's life short by about 11 minutes from the looks of things.

something i've noticed after more than a few viewings of this film, the early Don Ciccio scenes shows a well kept garden and estate complete with blooming flowers. This scene, which is supposed to be about
20 to 30 years later shows a yard full of overgrown plants, grass and dead flowers. love the detail.

I can't help but noticed how much more run down his home has gotten compared to when we see it at the beginning of the film. The flowers have lost their color, the walls have lost their paint, the railings look rusty... just overall signs of neglect. I think Coppola tried to show us in a subtle way that this mafia boss's power has declined over the years.
It’s telegraphing the decline of the mafia’s power in general as well. It may also be a reflection of how glamorous the life of a Don may seem to the young versus the gritty reality of it.
"10 years ago, could I have gotten to him?"
@@MrSoopSA This scene takes place in 1922, just months before Missolini's March on Rome. One of the many promises he made to Italy was stamping out the Mafia once and for all in Sicily and the South, and he was successful enough that much of the Mafia emigrated to America to escape him. So this really was at the tail end of the Mafia's control over Sicily at the time while also showong how they grew in power in America.

He does ask Vito to come closer when he tells him the name of his father. For a moment there I think he was in disbelief at the possibility that Antonio Andoleni's son was standing infront of him.

This has to be one of the most brutal movie scenes I've ever seen. You feel like you are really there, taking part in the action, and can feel the pain and agony of getting stabbed and eviscerated at the same time.
It ain’t that bad, once they shut the hell up , always draws a crowd that’s what’s maddening
Really, most brutal? Its not even in top 50 ;)
Law Abiding Citizen's scene with Gerard Butler killing the man slowly who killed his wife and daughter, with a mirror so he can see it happen to him and a drug that has him paralyzed yet offers no relief from the pain of dying slowly was in the top 50. Butler chopped dude alive yet made sure he felt everything and couldn't scream or die quickly was brutal, Chinese torture stuff.
I think that what makes it more brutal is how they didn’t add an over the top squelchy/gorey sound you’d expect from a movie. It’s mostly silent, just like a cut in real life.
That scowl De niro does after cutting him makes him look like exactly like a younger Vito played by Marlon in the the first. Great

A great insult. Like cleaning both sides of your blade on the fresh corpse you've created.
Robert De Niro is one of the best actors of all time. With no doubt.
I've watched so many De Niro movies. In each movie, he plays the same character: tough guy who is easily capable of violence, murder, robbery, and mayhem. That's true from "Taxi Driver" to "The Irishman." I enjoyed watching him the first couple of movies, but after a while, he becomes boring. I eventually watch the movies despite De Niro, not because of him. Why everyone thinks he is so great is beyond my ken. Maybe everyone thinks he, Pacino and Brando, etc are so great because they were told so by Hollywood, critics, etc.

Oh thanks i would have never know! Dumbass.....
1:57 looks just like Brando. Though they never look the same in real life
wow.. goosebumping!
Agree. I've long thought that De Niro's challenge in this role was doubly hard, as he not only needed to create this character but he had to make him seem like the younger version of one of the best-known characters in film history. So he had to be De Niro doing Brando doing Vito if Brando were younger.
Vito was always proud of maintaining his composure, so it's fun to watch De Niro here be a cipher while being introduced. Just the faintest hint of a smile when he hears the old man wanting him to approach closer, just the kind of very small reaction Brando-as-Vito would have had.
It’s really insane the more I watch these films how much DeNiro and Brando resemble each other. Makeup did a phenomenal job.
Great catch! I've probably watched this movie dozens of times and never caught that. Almost like he'd stuffed his cheeks with cotton for that scene
except brando was more of a caricature of an italian mobster, full of assumed fake italian mannerisms by americans while De Niro's was more natural and human both the accent and mannerisms.
What makes this scene wonderful is watching it a second time once you know how it ends. When you see it the first time, you don't understand why Vito is holding a coat over his arm and why he keeps on looking behind him nervously. Only afterwards do you realize that he is hiding the knife under the coat and that he is looking behind him to make sure none of the guards and standing there. Brilliant.
The first time i watched it i know that he would kill him.
@@diamondgirls6541 Well, fair enough, I mean everyone watching the film knows that Don Cicci was responsible for the deaths of his father, his mother and his brother, and what the Sicilian code of honor demanded (indeed, Don Cicci himself mentioned it when Vito's mother was killed), so I should have seen it coming, but it still was a surprise when I first saw the film years ago - I remember thinking at first: "Vito is going to do business with Don Cicci? He must be more of a cold-hearted organized crime boss than I thought!" - and then came the knife thrust out of nowhere! Maybe my experience was not that of the majority of viewers, but I was totally conned.

Dario Bevacqua Is that the Sicilian dialect for figlio di puttana? Interesting.
This is, believe it or not, my favorite scene in the entire series. Why? Because of the look on Vito's face after he carves up the man who murdered his entire family. He doesn't look angry, just disgusted that he got some of Ciccio's blood on him, like he was a scumbag who wasn't worth Corleone having to wash his hands over. Powerful.

@@jonathanb1406 I agree with the music part. Most mainstream stuff out there nowadays doesn't hold a candle to the older stuff. You'll find good current music outside the mainstream though.
@@brandonz1453 But it's needless to add qualifiers like "mainstream" though. The fact is there is an abundance of great music and films everywhere, made all the time, every year. The idea of what's mainstream is flexible and always has been. In the 60's Bob Dylan was mainstream, now it's Taylor Swift, but it doesn't mean Bob Dylan has gone away. It's all still there. People just have to look a little more now and they just want everything handed to them on a plate.
@@jonathanb1406 I'm not even getting into the movies part because I am very specific with the kind of movies I like. You wanna hear my definition of mainstream? How about the stuff America and the West feed the rest of the world? Here in South America, almost all the non spanish stuff we get comes from the US charts, always has. And to my ears, a lot of this stuff nowadays sounds soulless or contrived. I find that music that came out earlier, if you are willing to follow my definition of "mainstream" had a lot more feeling. Again, thanks to the internet, you can go outside these circles and find music that has more depth and authenticity. For example, I love modern Japanese Jazz. But to say that the fact that I and other people find a lot of these modern trends uninspiring is lazy..well i don't agree. It boils down to personal perception. And to point out I am not bashing "mainstream" music at all. My 4 favorite bands of all time? The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pink Floyd, Soundgarden, and Queen. Hardly underground stuff. Cheers.

Vito: my fathers was killed and this is for y- oh he’s dead
I searched "I've been to the bookstore" and this was the first result
In my opinion this is such a satisfying scene. Imagine being a small child who escaped from the man who killed your entire family, and the. Returning more powerful than him. It's also ironic because Vito Corleone's mother promised that her son would not seek revenge if he was allowed to leave, but Don Ciccio refuses and kills his mother. It's funny because at that point, Vito was definitely going to seek revenge and that's what he ended up doing, but if Don Ciccio allowed Vito to live, he probably never would've seeked revenge
Bullshit, of course he would have. The don murdered his father and brother. I doubt the murder of his mother was the deciding factor.
I don’t think you could ever rule out revenge if you whacked someone’s dad and brother. Even if Don Ciccio agreed to have Vito off limits, Vito would only honor his mom’s “deal” for the remainder of her life. And Don Ciccio’s only hope of avoiding payback would mean Vito’s mom had to outlive him. It’s quite a lot of stress to live through.
For me, Vito's past was the best part of the movie
I agree. Although I loved Godfather I, I left the theater so disappointed due to the fact that they left out Vito Corleone's early life and rise to power. It was my favorite part of the book.
In this scene, I wish Don Ciccio gave a reaction of the last name Andolini, before being gutted. But it just seemed that Ciccio didn't even recognize the name in the scene before getting stabbed. This scene irked me quite a bit. Especially since earlier in the movie he made a big scene on trying to find Vito in case of revenge.
I agree, I wanted his eyes to get wide or something
lol its not such a big deal the big hunt was more to emphasize how later scenes like this one com to happen if you think about it why should he remember one name among possibly thousands don's in Sicily are far different than dons in America they hold power and sway as lands owners and are recognized as almost regional governors by everyone but the supposed government.
true but I think it was more realistic that he didn't react to the name. This guy was a don, responsible for hundreds of deaths. There were probably a hundred stories like Vito's. I'm just glad the bastard got it at the end
Julio cloudybrain Dominic Thompson I thought he did recognise it because he hears "My Name is Vito Corleone..." perfectly but when he asks what his fathers name is he asks Vito to repeat it. I always thought it was because Ciccio thinking he was mistaken as he recognised the name and just kidding himself that he heard different.
The day that Don Ciccio entered Vito's life, it was the most important day for him. For Don Ciccio though, it was only Tuesday!
