[YT Edit] The Godfather Part II (1/2)

I don't want to alarm anyone, but if I don't see the last 2 True Detectives soon, I'm going to eat another cupcake. Please think of my waste line!!!

Neill Shaughness

I'm with you on bringing back intermissions!

This was a great reaction and you were appropriately confused at all the things people find confusing. I've seen this movie at least a half dozen times and being in that state of sustained mystery is one of the reasons it's so good. I notice something new every time I watch it. John Cazale is so brilliant as Fredo here and Pacino & Keaton are so powerful in the "you won't take my children" scene.

There's a lot of great performances in The Godfather II but John Cazale (Fredo) really stands out. His acting in the boathouse scene is so chilling, showing the barely contained rage that simmers just underneath at being the family disappointment. He was in 5 movies in 7 years and each was nominated for Best Picture Oscars: Godfather I & II, The Conversation, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Deer Hunter. He was dating Meryl Streep and then was diagnosed with cancer when they were both filming Deer Hunter. He chose to keep filming and died shortly after the films completion. There's a great documentary about him called "I Knew It Was You: Rediscovering John Cazale" that has interviews with his co-stars and directors of those movies, and with actors influenced by his performances since his death.

I have exactly the same problems as you when I watch mafia movies. Lots of characters talking in code about lots of other characters who are offscreen. I’m always so confused.

One thing I’ve never been sure of…was Frank’s brother there to threaten Frank or was Michael threatening to hurt the brother? I feel like either scenario would make Frank go back on his statements to the committee.

Sad and surprising that his filmography got 14 Oscar nominations for acting but not one of those was for Cazale.

As brilliant as it may be, I sometimes think this is the heaviest feature film ever made, which is one reason why I no longer own a copy. Cassie, the term you were grasping for was ‘red herring’, i.e. a deliberate diversion/distraction - which is indeed the opposite of ‘foreshadowing’, i.e. what the movie was doing at certain moments to point towards something that would in-fact happen.

(And since you did ask, ‘w*p’ is simply a slur against Italians, probably equivalent to the N-word. I don’t know what it actually means or where it comes from, and I’m not sure I want to know.)

Michael had Fredo killed because Fredo's insecurity led to his betrayal, and his outburst to Michael about that insecurity suggested to Mike that it would happen again. Michael isn't the type to easily trust or forgive, especially if his brother's lack of judgment almost got his family killed. What's the chance that it would happen again? Someone would get to Fredo, Fredo would screw up, etc. It still doesn't excuse killing your brother, but that's WHY he did it.

Richard Maurer

Cassie, your instincts about Michael, that he is not a person to root for, are completely correct. Michael is a monster, despite the tendencies among some fans of this film to excuse or even justify his actions. But this overlooks the extremely predatory nature of their business, which at this point would include drugs, gambling, prostitution, loan-sharking, and protection. Plus the consequences of partaking in (or even not partaking in protection rackets) any of the services provided by the mafia can often lead to injury or even death for anyone foolish enough to do so. Pretty much everyone in this film (with exception of the children) are indeed responsible for the suffering and death caused by mob, even those who are not directly involved, but prosper due to the mob's actions - like Connie, Kay, and even mama Corleone. I have always found mob movies to be problematic, and the tendency among some fans to glorify and even hero-worship the main characters to be distasteful.

Michael T

Almost every movie made today, and almost all Hollywood movies made back then, would have a "happy" ending, or at least an ending that would leave the viewer feeling satisfied. But not this one. As you said, Cassie, this is bleak, one of the darkest films ever made. And that's a bold, brave, and brilliant choice from Coppola, part of the reason this is widely considered the greatest sequel ever made.

If I have to choose between killing my brother or risking me or my children getting killed... sorry big bro, you're going! Killing the innocent prostitute to get leverage on Geary or sending Rocco on a suicide mission to kill a Roth who was already defeated, was much worse than killing Fredo.

I always thought that the brother was there to see if Frank would really break his oath to the family, and lose his honor. When Frank saw his brother, he couldn't do it

Most think it means With Out Papers, referring to immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island without immigration documents.

Anthony Vawser
>>100975836

I did end up visiting Wikipedia, which explained the etymology; it was basically just a variation on a common Italian word that native English speakers repeatedly heard the newly arrived migrants using. The ‘with out papers’ theory is just a ‘backronym’; the slur was apparently in use some time not only before acronyms were in common use but also before immigrants even needed ‘papers’.

When you said 'That rug will tie the room together' that's when i knew you were one of us :-)

Also, Godfather 3 is not that well-liked, but i think you'll like it's attempted path to redemption. Frank, the guy in the tub, in the books he was the fat guy in the first movie who made the meatballs and showed Micahel how to use the gun for the hit in the cafe, but the actor would not come back to they made it a different character. The senate hearings are based on actually hearing that we held into the mob

Hyman Roth was played by Lee Strasberg; the most famous acting teacher in the US. He ran the Actor's Studio, and students included Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, James Dean, Newman and dozens more. This was his first acting role; Pacino recruited him. For a lighthearted mob film I recommend Get Shorty (1995) with John Travolta.

I grew up in the Tristate area (NJ, NY, PA) in the 60’s and 70’s and it was a running joke that it meant Without Papers. Never heard of the other explanation until now. 🤔

Perspectives can change over time, and of course, nobody living today was actually around during the era in which the movie begins, so we have to rely on historians. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wop

The reputation Godfather III has is crazy to me. It's my favorite of the three by far. Relatively modern day, and Andy Garcia as Vincent Corleone is the best character in the whole series. Also the movie was nominated for best picture! I guess that's what happens when the first two are immediate classics. Anyway, I agree... Cassie I'd LOVE you to watch Godfather part III... there's an unrequited love story that is beautiful... Michael is older and kinder but still a bad-ass... set in the 90's with the corruption of the Catholic Church as it's backdrop. Thanks for the hard work!
