    Can you imagine? Pacino went to San Francisco and met Lucas,Spielberg,and Coppola...all those guys together in the same room, all unknown, all kids, just about to make the Godfather, Godfather II, Jaws, Star Wars and Apocalypse now within the next five years. Mind blowing.

      Fer Abra Don't forget Coppola's classic The Conversation, the movie with Gene Hackman and Harrison Ford that he made in between The Godfather I and II in 1973.

      If Shakespeare were alive today I'm convinced he would say the The Godfather 1 was his favourite movie of all time hands down. All the world's a stage....

    • @ferabra8939
      @ferabra8939 7 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Yes. Pre-production was done in 1975, shot in 1976-1977. Post production in 1978, released in 79, so made within the next five years after 1971.

      Three of my favourite scenes of his were
      1 : “Scent of a woman” dancing and really looking as if he was blind!
      2: “The Godfather part III” on the Opera house steps cradling his murdered daughter, that “silent scream”.
      3: “The merchant of Venice” as Shylock. Fantastic.
      Best actor on screen imo.

    Talia's performance in this trilogy truly gets overlooked. She starts off as a battered wife. She turns to s bad mother, traveling the work with lovers and leaving her kids behind with family. Ending with her asking her brother to come home, taking care of him, and even advising him with an iron fist, being as ruthless as any man. Her acting was amazing, and her portrayal of the different phases was believable and honest.

Nino Rota's score, Gordon Willis's phenomenal camera work, the cast, acting, directing, editing, etc... you can't wrap your head around it. So, magnificent and it'll be like that forever! RIP to Marlon Brando and same goes to those who were in the movie.

      Same here. That’s why his absence in the third film was so disappointing. He was the beacon of reason that the more extreme characters like Michael, Sonny & Fredo were orientated are which is part of why the series lost a sense of grounded realism once he left. After that it was just over the top helicopter set pieces, Al Pacino being a Scarface style caricature, etc.
      Overall I like all the Corleone family members though. Apart from the mum & Connie who weren’t really fleshed out as characters. But young Vito, old Vito, Sonny, Fredo, Michael & Tom were all great

    Al Pacino did "Serpico" soon after The Godfather. It was such an incredibly strong performance - arguably th finest ever - and yet, he did not win an Oscar that role. Then he did The Godfather part 2, no Oscar. Then, he followed that a few years later with "Dog Day Afternoon," to many Pacino fans, and others, his best role. NO OSCAR! But, that was the 70's. there was a huge difference in th Hollywood of 1970 and 1980; HUGE. I'll always think of Serpico when I hear Al Pacino's name even though The Godfather 1 & 2 are among my all time favorites. Another among my favorites: "Mean Streets." The 1973 movie that got Robert De Niro and Martin Scorcese going.
    PS: Francis Copolla never considered The Godfather p.2 a sequel. "It's (parts 1&2) the same movie," he said.

      DeNiro would've probably been the only other actor who could've pulled off Tony Montana.

      @eddie mclaughlin It would've been a different version of Tony but Bobby D definitely could've done it.

      Joe McKim I don’t think so. If they stuck with the original (the 1932 version), then yes. But idk if I can imagine De Niro as a Cuban lol

    Watching this you would think Matt Lauer and the Today Show didn't know how to conduct a proper interview. Lauer gives me the creeps.
