Johnny Two Times. Wrong movie.
Me too
Me too.
It means the Las Vegas police were already ‘on the Corleone payroll’.
I thought Ed was a golden Palomino, but read somewhere he was something else. Can’t remember what.
Khartoum didn’t kill himself!
Bamboo Harvester. No lie man.
A bigger plot hole concerns Michael’s service in the Marine Corps in the Pacific war.
Oy vey, they gave the guard an offer he couldn’t refuse.
“Look how they massacred my boy.”
He enlisted in late 1941?
“I feel like I read that twice.”
Did you find the answer?
The fact that we’re told he enlisted on Pearl Harbor day, served throughout the war, seeing enough heavy combat that he has a chest full of medals and got a promotion to officer, and yet when he offers to kill Salazzo and McClusky, Sonny mocks him as a “nice college boy” with no experience of killing up close. It makes no sense.
Vito seems to disdain Michael’s war experience, so maybe Sonny does too.
Couldn’t make this film today. Not enough roles for women, blacks, and gays.
IIRC in the original novel Fredo was a “Finocchio”.
Sonny mocks him as a “nice college boy” with no experience of killing up close.
He assumed in combat, Michael shot the enemy from far away, and didn’t engage in any hand-to-hand combat. But I sense Michael wasn’t much for talking about his war experience.
I always think of the scene when he and Enzo The Baker stand outside of the hospital pretending to have guns to ward off the assasins. Enzo’s hands were shaking when Michael lit his cigarette, but Michael’s hands were steady. I always thought that scene was very significant in showing the Michael realized he had to take over the family because his battle experience trained him for it.
Vito seems to disdain Michael’s war experience, so maybe Sonny does too.
Ya think? Just watch the ending of Godfather II.
As Yogi Berra once said, “It’ss Deja vu all over again.
It’s just your imagination
It’s just your imagination
It’s a glitch in the Matrix!
Better dial out while we still can….
