I worked at a juvenile facility in NJ 15 yrs ago and the place was older than dirt. One day, I was checking out the projection booth in the theatre building. Still on the machine was The Godfather 1. That was the last movie they showed the inmates.
Actually, Sonny says that it isn’t like the military where you shoot them from far away. You got to get close.
Michael probably never explained how bloody war can be and why bayonet’s are a thing.
I love that whole scene from when Enzo shows up to the end where the cop assaults Michael.
You learn a lot about Michael in that time but you got to REALLY see it.
And still don't know what the heck they are saying was the puzzle solve.
Michael probably saw more hand to hand combat on Iwo Jima in one day than Sonny did in his whole life.
Exactly.
No but Vito is an interesting character in this underworld fiction. He is presented as a reasonable man who is ruthless if you refuse him. The one thing Vito always does is give you a reasonable business offer first. If you refuse well that's when the vicious stuff happens.
The Woltz story shows Vito is not just a local Don duking it out with the other families in New York. His power is near instantaneous and can be wielded from 3000 miles away.
Well, Vito isn’t exactly a saint.
Neither were the people he killed, like Fanucci or Don Ciccio. And certainly Woltz was scum, as well.
Ha.
