The closing night of the Tribeca Film Festival brought together the cast from two of the most important and influential movies ever made: The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II. Led by the festival’s co-founder, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Talia Shire took the stage with their director, Francis Ford Coppola, to look back on the iconic films after they screened back to back for the audience.

I’ve seen Parts 1 & 2 a few dozen times each (I never cared for Part 3.) After all these years, I still don’t understand what specifically Fredo did in Part 2 to betray Michael. Yes, I know he talked to Roth and Johnny Ola, then later denied that he had ever met them. However, I still have a few questions: Who opened the curtains in Michael’s bedroom just before the attempted hit? Fredo? Who found the two gunmen so quickly afterwards and killed them both? Fredo? That seems unlikely to me when you consider how bumbling and useless Fredo was in Part 1 when Vito was gunned down at the fruit stand. Also, how did he elude all of the men and dogs who were searching the compound immediately after the attempted hit?
I loved it. Every moment of it.
The novel is a piece of garbage.
