Fredo,” a Godfather-referencing nickname

This is an example of FR's value. I've never seen, nor will I, the flick "Godfather."

I'd have had no clue what President Trump implied if I hadn't seen it explained on FR threads.

Thank you Mr. Robinson

Fredo is the dumb brother in the Godfather, knows it and is unhinged about it. Chris Coumo went bat crap crazy on a guy at a cocktail party who called him Fredo and threatened to throw him down the stairs. “Fredo” is Coumo’s biggest hot button and Trump hammered that button. Understand?

That's a shame - it's a great film.

One way I've always judged the quality of any film (or book) is whether it remains in the mind afterwards and for how long. Also, whether one can see it again once or several times and not only still enjoy it but notice new details. The Godfather (both the original and the first sequel ... you can skip the third, it's rubbish) is one of those films which haunts the memory.

It's certainly your choice to have never seen it with no intention to ever do so. Individual tastes vary. For example, love the camera work, but I've never been able to make it through a complete viewing of Citizen Kane without falling asleep about half way through. And it's almost enshrined as "The Best Movie of All Time". Others would classify Parts One and Two of The Godfather in the same position.

You should at least read the script

That is your choice.

I would suggest, that if you watch any movies, you reconsider and try the first 2 Godfather movies {skip #3, it is pure junk}.

I am Italian {not that that matters} and love the first two.

If you just don't watch any movies, OK, read the book.
