“Leave the gun, take the cannoli “, is to me, one of the greatest movie lines!
And it was made up on the spot!
I agree! It's right up there with:
*"I love the smell of queef in the morning."* ~ Patches O'Houlihan, Dodgeball
I quoted that to my parents. They went to an Italian place and brought me home a cannoli. I asked did you leave the gun? My dad got it, my mother didn't.
Makes me hungry all the time.
The actor who played Clemenza ad-libbed "take the cannoli" which was not part of the line. The director, Francis Ford Coppola like it and kept that line in the film.
“Presidents and senators don’t have men killed.” Your expression says it all, brother.”
If you notice during the scene where Michael and the Baker are outside the hospital. When the baker tries to light his cigarette, his hands are shaking so Michael lights it for him. Michael looks at his own hands and they are not shaking. That's when he knows he can be in the family business.
That’s a hell of a call out right there
The dude got The Congressional Medal of Honor!
I always thought that that was the pivotal moment in the movie. It’s very subtle, and if you’re not paying attention, you would miss it.
At that moment, Michael turns into the Don.
Micheal served in war bro came home with a frozen heart 😈
This movie is the epitome Art of Subtlety,
What people fail to see , is the most beautiful scene in the movie… After everything that Vito went through , getting shot , the attempt at the hospital… he died the most beautiful way.. an old man playing with his grand baby. It is poetic and beautifully bittersweet.
and so very loved, if not loved, thoroughly respected, by all.
Juxtapose that with Michael's end. I won't give anything away, but I think that's the point of the entire trilogy.
@@mouseshadow5828 Jesus Christ! Delete this SPOILER you selfish POS! The reactor reads these comments!
I remember that from the book:
safe
at home
surrounded by people he loves most
smelling fresh tomatoes he grew himself
feeling soft cool earth under his hands,
the sunlight warming his face shining between his tomato branches...a bright light
his final thoughts:
"life is so beautiful."
and perhaps best display of acting ever by the great brando
Michael was supposed to be the one legit member of the Corleone clan. No one ever thought that he would be the new head of the family and take over the business. He turns out to be the coldest one out of all of them, including Vito. Brutal.
And just wait til you see part two!
Say what you will about Brando and his work ethic, but that delivery.
"I don't want his mother to see him this way"
That hit way too hard
He deserved his oscar, one of the greatest performances I've ever seen
Brando was amazing in this
I agree... tugs at my heart each time I hear him say ir
Look at how they massacred my boy! - The Don is always in control. Like he tells Michael, women and children can be careless, but men can't. This is the only time in the movie he truly breaks his role. He's not the Don, he's just a grieving father. It makes him so much more human. That's the moment that breaks my heart.
Truly amazing acting.
only great things to say about him
Fun fact: Luca Brassi was practicing for real. His name is Lenny Montana. He was a wrestler and serious muscle for the Columbo family in NYC and never acted before. When he stands before Brando during the wedding, he was genuinely nervous and Brando kept making faces at him with post-it’s stuck to his forehead, which made him stammer and stutter. Lenny’s hire was part of the deal with the Columbos’ if Coppola wanted to film in NCY.😎
Lucu Brassi back story is messed up & it's the reason Vito didn't really want or expect him to show up to his daughters wedding to congratulate him & his family & daughter & when he brings up hoping that Connie's first child will be a masculine child rubbed Don Vito the wrong way & made him very uncomfortable hearing that come from someone as disturbed as Luca was!!!!
@@mattlawrence1932yeah I just looked up his backstory and DAMN
Wow! Lukas famous just in the brief moments he appears. Nobody could do that part but this man.
Movie is the *GOAT!* RIP James Caan 🙏🏽✊🏽
Made sure to include something at the beginning for him.
@@EOMReacts 11:55. He was drugged. Staff was paid off
Godfather II is my favorite of all time. De Niro as young Vito. As good as Marlon Brando as older Vito. Don’t know if you’ve done that one yet, I’m new to your channel, but I’ll be looking for it. Peace.
The horse head scene is significant. It shows how Vito Corleone operates. He delivered a message without needing to directly harm Woltz. If Corleone can manage to get past his security and housekeeping staff, have the horse killed AND decapitated, and also have the horse head placed in Woltz's bed while he's knocked out, Woltz is not safe anywhere at any time. How did Corleone know this would work? Woltz showed his weakness by showing off the horse to Tom Hagen. You know Hagen had to report back to Corleone and his report will include Woltz's prized horse. This kind of thing, spotting your enemy's weakness and using it against them, comes up multiple times in the Godfather movies. It's like a chess game.
The first 35 mins of this movie let’s you know everything you need to about Vito. It was done brilliantly
You guide the horse killer up to the bedroom as your first job as a soldier in the video game!plant the gun chase down tessio when he breaks away from the gang and runs! Epic game.
Plus Coppola used a real horse's head for that scene without telling the actor in advance, so at least part of the shock in his reaction was real.
That act said three things perfectly. 1) who ever killed the half million dollars horse, has no qualms about snuffing Woltz out. 2) He could get to him anytime, anywhere. And he wouldn't even know it. And 3) for all Woltz's brovado and so-called power, he is nothing. Vito basically told him with one horse head, "you are nothing more than a gold fish in a bowl. And I'm the hungry cat looking at you."
Reportedly , a fake horses head was to be used. instead, unknown to the actor, a real horses head was used , from a horse that died of natural causes.
So the horror of it all for the actor was real, even when he knew it was just for a movie
"Johnny Fontaine" is, of course, Frank Sinatra, and the movie he wanted to be in so badly was "From Here to Eternity". Mario Puzo, who wrote the novel "The Godfather", was trying to capitalize on all the rumors about Sinatra and the Mob, and so created "Johnny" as a very thin fictionalization of Frank. (Turned out to be the least interesting part of the movie, lol.) Also, "Moe Green", the casino owner in glasses, is supposed to be Bugsy Siegel. I wish there was more of him here!
The singer / actor is Al Martino who is a singer as well.
@@billboth6572 Yes, but the character he played (Johnny Fontaine) is supposed to be Frank Sinatra (who had real-life mob ties).
Sinatra was such a punk
"That's duct tape. That ain't special tape. That is duct tape. We use that for everything." Genuinely made me laugh out loud.
🤣🤣🤣
Same here
This movie was epic at the time. Everyone had to see it.
That cat that he was petting, just wandered in and became a movie star.
Best wishes, Jake.
Coppola views the first two Godfather films as a single movie, that's why he called the second Part II. He sees the third movie as a kind of epilogue, but the first two are the meat of the story, and together, they form a near perfect motion picture saga.
This true. The first time I saw The Godfather was on TV over 2 nights. Only years later when I watched it again, did I think to myself, "Where is the rest of the film?".... turns out, the first time I saw it, I'd seen the Epic, which was parts I&II edited together.
I pretend that the third film doesnt exist. It sucked!
30:28 - Man, between what happened to Sonny and what Kathy Bates did to him in 'Misery'...James Caan has been through A LOT. Rest in Peace, Mr. Caan.
He had a brutal time in Rollerball as well.
and Michael Mann's Theif , this movie is a masterpiece and James Cann was a badass in it
"Never tell anyone outside the family what you're thinking!". That's the one line from the movie that has always stuck with me.
Fun fact from the book this was based on: the moment Apollonia trips and Michael steadys her? It's noted that her mother (who is following behind) is amused because she knows her daughter has excellent balance; Apollonia deliberately tripped so Michael had an "innocent" reason to touch her.
That is awesome
i think about that part in the book every time i see this scene. I paraphrase the mother thinks something like "Apollonia can walk a mountain like a goat. She tripped as an excuse to touch him. Just like I did with my husband..." something like that.
@@slchance8839 Ah yes, now I remember the mountain goat bit lol! I should read the book again...
Prayers for Jake ❤️
The deadpan stare into the camera...."Of course, they don't." Absolute gold.
You're right about Michael. He has a vengeful mean streak like Sonny, but calculated his next moves like his father. Kaye was in denial throughout the film. Godfather Part II is amazing. The book is by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola directed the film. Coppola's sister Talia Shire plays Michael's sister Connie. She also starred in "Rocky"
I remember when the book was on the Best seller's list.. so many people were reading it while riding the NYC subway. I saw the movie when it first came out.. sometimes it's so hard to believe that fifty years have gone by since then
Kay was in denial because of what he promised over and over after basically begging for marriage when coming back from Italy
You have the most honest and authentic reactions. Its like I get to watch these for the first time all over again lol keep it up
I’m glad you been enjoying
I loved your reaction to my favorite movie of all time, Bro! You MUST watch Part II. In my opinion, you should also watch Part III. Although it doesn’t measure up to the first two parts, it’s still worth a watch, especially if you’re interested in seeing how the Corleone family saga ends.
Part two is definitely coming soon
I suggest you stop at Part II and not go on to III. If you watch Part III, it will ruin 1 & 2!
Classic! One of if not the greatest movies ever made. Part 2 is longer but, some say it’s even better than pt 1
I’m excited to watch it
Some say, but they'd be wrong
Agreed that it’s better than Part 1. Don’t bother with Part 3, though.
@@uic505050 No. They're right.
@@maceomaceo11 nah, you're wrong
Jake, a special call out to you, and never give up! I know because I have two Cancer's myself. Since July 31st, 2013, at 11:15 am, when I got told the C word. Fight it every day, all day Jake. I'll mark my calendar a year from today, and come back to this reaction to say hello. Deal?
John Casale was an amazing actor who made only 4 major movies, but they were all extraordinary: this one, Godfather II, Dog Day Afternoon and The Deer Hunter. His performances, although subtle, lit up the screen in all of them.
You forgot The Conversation. It was also nominated for Best Picture.
Deer Hunter is one of my faves!
Stay strong Jake and sending prayers your way. Best movie ever along with part .
I like that Michael was being so open with Kay about his family and their business. So for her to be tripping later is kinda cray cray.
She knew who they were from jump.
Facts
@@shinrapresident7010 That line is sooo hilarious by the end of the movie
Well he kept promising he would go legit
@@evansfanily7510 Yeah true. But they are frigging criminals who lie, cheat, steal and murder for survival. I guess she expected to much from Michael. LOL
Idk about cray. He promised he wasn't going to get involved at first. Then when he did, promised the family business would legitimate by the time of that argument. She didn't want her kids around it. And remember he came back begging her for marriage, basically saying he needed her by his side, after he lost his Italian side piece. She didn't even want it after all that time. People forget real fast
One of the funniest lines in the Film is the restaurant scene in which Captain McCluskey asks “how’s the Italian food in this restaurant?”when the sign outside says Italian American restaurant.
Abe Vigoda (Tessio) was a stage actor in off Broadway plays. He answered an open call for this movie and was "discovered" by Francis Ford Copella. It made his career.
He played the grandfather in the retirement home in "Look Who's Talking," and "Look Who's Talking 2."
Jake, we're keeping you and your family in prayer. Here's to a full recovery! Here's to us all continuing to enjoy these reactions together!
Rumor was that Johnny Fontaine was based on frank Sinatra, and the movie was "from Here to Eternity".
You can do it Jake!
Well it's like they say
"A great movie can never be long enough & a bad movie can never be short enough."
Makes sense
So at the heart of Godfather as a franchise is the battle for Michael's soul
Yep and Michael lost
The horse head in the bed is real they switched it with the fake one to shock the actor and it worked, his scream is real.
I love that dog. Also: Jake, praying for your recovery.
Be well Jake. Hoping you better my man.
Prayers Jake wishing you nothing but good!!
Hope Jake gets well ASAP. Stay strong, brother!
Fun movie fact: the cat in the first scene was just some stray cat Marlon Brando found on set that took a liking to him. He decided put the cat in the scene, and they had to redo the dialog in post-production because the cat was purring so loud, the microphones picked it up lol
Lol you could still hear it purring. I was cracking up
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still curious as to what happened to that stray cat, he seemed like such a sweet heart. I hope someone adopted that fur baby. 🐱
Everyone seems to underestimate Michael. At the beginning of the movie, Michael had just returned from serving in the Marines where he earned a Navy cross (just one step below the Medal of Honor) for combat against the Japanese. When the other cop says Michael's a 'war hero' it's because he had been featured on the cover of Life magazine for his actions.
I knew he served but I didn’t know he earned awards and stuff. I’m have to get the book
Somebody once said that the whole reason why Don Corleone is so well-respected is because he's a man of his word. If the Don says something will happen or something will be, good or bad, you know it's true.
I'm glad you liked this movie. Man, you've got to watch part 2!
It’s coming very soon
And then 'Casino' then the spoof 'Mafia!' w Lloyd Bridges 🤣
Word!! Jake, there's people over here praying, bro🙏🏻
I think the moment when Micheal changed was the scene in front of the hospital when micheal lights Enzo's cigarette, Enzo's hand is shaking like a leaf but micheal looks at his hand noticing its steady as a rock. Micheal has that, I think I like this look in his eyes.
What you don't see in the movie, is that after Johnny stars in the movie, the Godfather also arranges to have him win the academy award too. ( in the book ) ALSO Lucca was an actual mafia thug. The appearance of ORANGES means the next scene there will be death. The horse head scene was an actual horse from a slaughter house and they did not tell the actor about the switch the prop for a real head.
My descendants were mafioso, distant cousins still are. My dad used to say this was our version of Roots. New to the channel, hope your pup is alright.
Get well soon Jake, I'm praying for you. One of my favorite Al Pacino movies is Dog Day Afternoon. That movie is so underappreciated and overlooked. Another movie that is overlooked and underappreciated is Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman. One reason I like that movie is that I read the book and the movie is so close to the book and Dustin Hoffman does a great job in it.
Been looking for a reaction to Little Big Man, which I love. Haven't found one yet.
@@flarrfan I don't think very many people know about that movie. I read the book in High School and loved the movie because it's very close to the book. Great acting too.
Hey Jake! You got this! Keep fighting!
the guy who was incredibly nervous meeting the don (luka bratsi) was a real mobster, he was sent by the real mob family to supervise the film, they gave him a role in it and he was genuinely nervous in the scene because he was a big fan of marlon brando
That’s awesome
😂😂 the horse head. You’re funny as hell man 👍. Matt from Australia 🇦🇺. It’s 4am here at the moment
Good Morning! LoL
Movie trivia about this movie: Every time you see an orange, that means something bad is gonna happen to whoever's in that scene.
10:39
13:59 You don't see it in this video, but the full scene shows the Don buyibg a bag of oranges.
32:44
33:06
38:46 You don't see it in this video, but the Don puts a slice of orange in his mouth.
It's not as prevalent in the sequels, but you do see a couple of orange scenes in those movies too.
Another fun fact: Johnny Fontain was based on Frank Sinatra. Johnny is played by Al Martino, a crooner from the late 50’s and is mostly known for the song ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’.😎😁
Awesome watching this through your eyes. This series is a staple in my family. Great to watch you see it for the first time.
"Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli"
In true Catholic mobster fashion, Michael cleaned house and moments later had all his sins washed away by being baptized. The man played 3-d chess with that...
In that opening monologue, Don Corleone was talking some real stuff. Dude never wanted to be friends or associated with the Don and his family.
But now his family gets hurt and now you want his help. SMDH.
RIP James Caan.
Vito spoke wisdom in the whole movie
The homage to this scene in Star Trek Deep Space Nine was brilliant, lol.
Another great reaction! Thank you for this! Jake, wishing you a full and speedy recovery! Kick its ass!
It’s a great film I 1st saw it when I was 15, I’m 40 now. I watched it with my son when he was 2, he probably didn’t get it until he was 6. He’s nearly 18 now and he still watches it at least once a year. Your dog 🐕 is awesome 👍🇦🇺
Me and you are the same age. Thank you for showing my baby love
@@J_EOMReacts I thought we were probably about the same age. Your dogs are cool as. I live in a unit, that’s probably like an apartment in the US, just not fancy type. I can’t have pets. My son lives 5 minutes away so I guess he’s kind of a pet 😂😂. I raised him by myself from when he was 4. I met my wife when he was 8. His mother is a junkie that I tried to help and we were together for 5 years but she isn’t the nurturing mother type. She has 7 kids I think and none of them live with her. We haven’t seen her since 2009 so I think I’m lucky that I didn’t have to go through the crap of courts and custody. How’s things in the US seems, from the news, that it’s a bit of a shit show at the moment. Is a lot of people gun happy and have easy access to guns? In Australia we have very strict gun laws, doesn’t mean that everything is perfect in that regard. Are you from the south?
Glad you saw this. The Godfather is such an integral part of modern American culture that seeing it for the first time is very much like losing your virginity-- you'll always remember it. Of course, everyone will insist you watch Part 2-- please do and you won't regret it. As usual, another great video. Thank you.
Thank you and part two is definitely coming
“EYY! Mike about that life ain’t he? Not the same guy at the start of the movie!” 🤣😂
Prayers for Jake my man!! 🙏🙏
… If you get a chance react to “DONNIE BRASCO” with Pacino and Depp!
Donnie Brasco is definitely on the list
Godfather is one of my all time favorites
I understand why
RIP James Caan and Paulie from Sopranos Tony Sirico
Get well soon Jake!
Big up Jake!! All the best mate!!
RIP Marlon Brando, James Caan, etc
Stay strong jake you got this💪🏽💪🏽❤️
When Don Vito got upset and spoke, he didn’t raise his voice: he would stand up.
He stood to rebuke the Buonasera the undertaker for disrespecting him, Sonny for telling The Turk his thoughts, Johnny Fontaine for crying about Hollywood, warning the other 5 families against taking vengeance on Michael….
If Don Vito stands up to correct you…watch out, you won’t be given a second chance if you ignore his warning
Facts
RIP Sonny/Jimmy Caan! We lost you once on the causeway, and we weren't prepared to lose you again. You will be missed. 😭😭😭💐💐💐
Much love for Jake. I lost a dear friend to cancer and know others fighting. Stay strong. It always seems to happen to good people and I hate that. I wish the only thing that caused cancer was being an @$$hole. If only. Best of luck Jake.
I give this movie 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴 out of 5. The soundtrack is great indeed. Back in the day my sister got the LP from the Columbia record club
RIP James Caan 🎥 💓 🍿
"[Brando's] voice is wheezy and whispery, and his physical movements deliberately lack precision; the effect is of a man so accustomed to power that he no longer needs to remind others." - Roger Ebert
two other Al Pacino classics you’ll love.. “Serpico” based on true story of nyc police corruption in 70’s… and “Dog Day Afternoon”.. also based on true story of a botched bank robbery , withJohn Cazale (Freddo in Godfather) as his partner .. Pacino is masterful in both..
My favorite movie of all time! Glad to see you reacting to it!
I’m hoping I did it justice for you
There is a story that during the scene where Sonny beats up his sister's husband, the actor was so disrespectful and misogynist and awful that James Caan actually beat him up. Don't know if it's true though
This movie is a Masterpiece and in a class of it’s own .👏🏾Nice reaction as always 👍🏾
Glad you been enjoying
Johnny is supposed to be Frank Sinatra in real life. I’ve read before
If you like al pacino in this movie, you will love him in scarface.
I’ve seen Scarface
I just found your channel yesterday and I'm really surprised you haven't seen so many incredible movies. I'm glad you're seeing them now and even though I've already seen them, I enjoy watching your content.
I’m glad you’re enjoying
@45:00, The Godfather plays like the origin story of a super villain or a hero’s tragic fall from Grace.
Michael and his father Vito didn’t want him to be part of the family business. They had higher aspirations for him. But Sonny was an impulsive hothead and Fredo was a goofball. Michael is the youngest son of the family…but also the most like his father.
Had he not stepped up at the hospital his father would have been murdered. After Sonny died he was the only logical choice to assume leadership as Connie wouldn’t be allowed to do so.
Michael falls into a life of crime not out of greed but out of a desire to protect his family.
That’s a great way to look at this
“He ain’t gonna never make it to the airport”🤣🤣🤣🤣he should’ve known he wasn’t getting away smooth like that after getting sunny killed
Thanks to you I went and looked up when duct tape was invented. Duct tape was invented in 1942, so it was pretty special and new. lol -- And I love to see people react to Brando. He really was a great actor. ("On The Waterfront" is a great one of his performances.)
Lol I thought duct tape was older than that.
7:50 I love this take. He literally told her EVERYTHING
He really did
Awww! The matching grey outfits tho 😍
(ROOTING 4 JAKE ♥️)
"Look how they massacred my boy!" RIP James Caan
Regarding Connie being upset over her husband's death one must remember that she is a battered woman who was raised to believe that her husband was the head of the family, and she always had to defer to him.
Without him she is essentially nothing.
Marlon Brando put together the greatest acting performance I have ever seen. Magnetic AF. Can't take your eyes off him.
It's very good, but I think Pacino over the first two films matches it, or at least comes close to it.
I always thought an appropriate spinoff would be “the English Days of the Week” featuring Apollonia. She nails it!
Apollonia was Michael's true love. She was the perfect wife for him. There was a scene cut from the film of him in shock after her death. He never got over her, even after he married Kaye ( on the rebound). Kaye served her purpose as wife and mother but she stepped over the line in questioning Michael when she knew what she was marrying into. She waited years into the marriage to defy and betray him , which he took as a slap in the face. She was right to be upset with him but she was also to blame.
@@gmunden1 Sadly according to the book. He only loved Kay. Yeah I don’t see it either. I guess what they wanted to show that Sonny and Apollonia deaths made him cold. And also in the second film he wants to show himself as an American success story. You have to remember at that time Italians were considered dirty next to whites. Especially in politics. Having Kay as a wife will make him seem more legitimate. Apollonia is living in the past. So to speak.
The Godfather waltz (the slow song at the wedding and theme throughout the film) was my parents' song for their first dance at their wedding lol
That’s awesome
Possibly the greatest film ever made
Hey bud, I loved your reaction, but since you referenced James Caan, he's been in some great movies. One of my favorites is Thief, a rare and old movie about the Civil War, Journey from Shiloh. The Killer Elite, Hide In Plain Sight, besides all his big-named movies. You definitely gotta see Godfather 2.
Not gunna lie, I'd been crazy busy working all day with a hangover, when I finished, I wanted to watch The Godfather, out of pure chance this video came up as recommended, so I started watching, and I loved your reaction, I'm now onto Goodfellas. You got me folded laughing with some of your comments. Subbed. 👍🏾🤣
Much appreciated and welcome to the family!
You're very lucky, you're in for a ride. SO many quality postings to binge through on this channel!
Prayers sent
I was surprised to find out you haven't seen this movie, as soon as I saw your reacted to it I was like "oh I bet he loves this movie. It's right up his alley." Great reaction btw!
I’ve watched this movie at least 3 more times since I did this reaction. It’s amazing. Like it’s a beautiful film. I’m glad you enjoyed
loved your reaction. so glad that you enjoyed this one.
Praying for you..Jake❤️
Amazing performances all around. Godfather II goes into the Don’s early life in Italy and how he came to America. Robert DeNiro plays the young Don.
I’m excited to watch it
Nooo! I had no idea James Caan died until now! May he rest in peace.
Also, Jake, I'm here for you. We all are.
I came for the dog. I stayed for the Godfather reaction. Stay strong, Jake.
As great as this is, II is even more exceptional. There will be disagreement about those two, but all agree III is substandard. Worth watching, but not any where near the levels of I & II.
I can tell you, wasn't just the mob eating like that. Every memory I have of my family get-togethers (the Italian immigrant side) was FOOOD like crazy. Including the cannolis :)
