@@joliecide dude timonthee chalamet doesnt even look italian or like al pacino at all. also not to mention sicily is in southern italy, southern italians have a specific look to them. they are olive skin color also.
I gotta admit that Justin Chambers has surprised me, quite pleasantly. I didn't realize he had that depth when he was on Grey's Anatomy. This scene was mesmerizing as was the one in a previous episode where Brando is in the mirror and first conceptualizes himself as The Godfather.
Idk about that. Best film ever made about that world and the history behind it? Without a doubt. Best ever? There are a few films that could easily be in the top spot, but its all opinions in the end. Citizen Kane, Casablanca, It's a Wonderful Life, Wizard of Oz, Godfather, Vertigo, Shawshank Redemption, and the list goes on.
I haven't watched this show, I haven't ever seen The Godfather (I know I know) and yet this scene has me glued to the screen. The exploration of the power dynamics around this table is so compelling. A masterclass in TV storytelling. I'm gonna watch the show for sure
I thought it kind of worked better that they didn't do that. As you say we have the original film, and not trying to recreate it in the show helped suspend disbelief. (It just occurred to me that a fun exercise would be to watch the show's scenes where they're set up to film the movie scenes (Michael and Kay carrying Christmas presents, Sonny beating up Carlo, the car exploding, etc.), and then watch the corresponding movie scene.)
YOU CAN ACT LIKE A'MAN! *__* What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood finocchio that cries like a woman? What can I do?! What can I do?! What is that nonsense? Ridiculous.
@@kevintran5901 sure but that was not his call. That was Coppola's. Puzo wrote the book, co-wrote the script with Coppola. His job was done regardless of how Puzo personally felt.
He wasn't at this particular dinner, but he was in the filming. He's a great character in this minisseries, love him. That confrontation with Sinatra was as good as a reenactement as the real thing
No other that THE Al Ruddy, he produced the whole thing and made the right choices (along side Francis) to make the movie the masterpiece that it is. The miniseries is basically his story.
not sure who is who in this scene but if this is their first time together the explosion by the Sonny character is a bit unreal and unrestrained. Does not ring true. I understand the directors need to demonstrate similarities between actors and the characters they are playing but this is pushed onto the audience unless I'm missing something here.
I totally agree. Everyone is saying this scene is so perfect but there are a few thuds that just don’t feel right to me. I also happen to think the actor playing Coppola is just downright bad in a lot of his scenes.
@@candaces.7547 You guys are nuts! Sonny (James Caan's character) was exactly like that. Have you guys even seen the movie? Did you watch the miniseries? Everything, EVERYTHING rings true in that scene. Al Ruddy has stated that the scene in questioned happened exactly the way that it is shown, without any prompting from him or Coppola, and it surprised him how everyone just fell into character without being asked. Perhaps, if you don't like Dan Fogler's impression of Coppola then you'd like watching him better in Balls of Fury. That seems more your speed.
Puzo gave the family the name Corleone. Coincidentally, Al Pacino’s grandparents came from Corleone, Sicily. He tried to keep it a secret, but finally talked about it on a talk show long after the Godfather movies. The Paramount big wigs didn’t even want Al Pacino in the movie, but Coppola fought for him
Marlon took the lead and everyone followed.
The dude playing Pacino was on POINT!! I got chills.
Exactly 👌🏾
Timothee Chalamet would do a great job playing young Pacino, based on this scene.
@@joliecide no tf he wouldn't
@@joliecide dude timonthee chalamet doesnt even look italian or like al pacino at all. also not to mention sicily is in southern italy, southern italians have a specific look to them. they are olive skin color also.
2:51 the way the guy playing Robert Duvall clenches and sucks his cheek in. Duvall ALWAYS did that. Such an amazing detail.
That one is supposed to be Santino (James Caan)
@@teacherwill9209Nah. Caan is the curly headed one being held back. The guy holding him is Duvall.
@@SirJamesthePaul oh man you're right. My bad.
nice catch!
the moment when marlon brando casually acts,
this is the magical moment when acting becomes reality
Saw this scene last night. My god. Chills. The whole entire time. It just came so naturally.
I gotta admit that Justin Chambers has surprised me, quite pleasantly. I didn't realize he had that depth when he was on Grey's Anatomy. This scene was mesmerizing as was the one in a previous episode where Brando is in the mirror and first conceptualizes himself as The Godfather.
I LOVED the kiss the ring dinner scene as well! 😳 it was EPIC 😍 I was fangirling over Brando here lol 😌
I wondered where I'd seen him before. He was bloody good as Brando.
That’s who that is? I thought it was the Tuco guy from Breaking Bad.
Screw "Citizen Kane"..."The Godfather" is the Greatest American Movie ever made!
totally agree.
that would be Rocky
@@alfredowaltergutierrezmald834 "Office Space" is very close 2nd
No doubt indeed .

This gave me chills and I've only seen Godfather once. Such a powerful mini series
I keep on watching this clip. Awesome *every* time.
I haven't watched this show, I haven't ever seen The Godfather (I know I know) and yet this scene has me glued to the screen. The exploration of the power dynamics around this table is so compelling. A masterclass in TV storytelling. I'm gonna watch the show for sure
Brando was class
Just finished the series and damn it was so good! This scene is still with me!!
I love how life imitates art in this scene.
Best scene of the entire Season
I know we have the original movie, but I want to see them reenact the film in the show.
Agreed! I want to see this cast and crew make a Godfather miniseries.
Yeah
I thought it kind of worked better that they didn't do that. As you say we have the original film, and not trying to recreate it in the show helped suspend disbelief.

This scene was amazing!
Pachino and micheal was done perfectly!!!
I am a dude, playing another dude, disguised as another dude.
What a scene.
I cried during the whole scene.
I did too!!
Why?
YOU CAN ACT LIKE A'MAN! *__* What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood finocchio that cries like a woman? What can I do?! What can I do?! What is that nonsense? Ridiculous.
well done
çok çok iyi, şu ana kadar ki en iyi sahnesiydi
👌🏾 perfect
Spectacular scene😂😍
Intense!
Where is Puzo in all of this? You would think he would be there at the dinner seeing his characters come to life?
No he wasn't there. He co-wrote the script, his job was done.
@@srb9 but don’t you think he deserves or should’ve been there at the dinner to meet the actors that would be the characters that HE created?
@@kevintran5901 sure but that was not his call. That was Coppola's. Puzo wrote the book, co-wrote the script with Coppola. His job was done regardless of how Puzo personally felt.

@@theportugueselegend I need to see that one. I understand that meeting was ill-advised and it did *not* go well as Sinatra hated the book.
I miss Robert Duvall in that dinner
He’s sitting besides James Caan , the one that grabs him.
@@tonygeek1257 yep the actor's name is Derek Magyar. He has similar nose to Robert Duvall
Which character is Robert Duvall?
What did i watched 😮
Poor Fredo. 😔
Yeaeaah it went down just like this 🙄
And there was nothen anyone could do
evan brando brought his shine box...
And a.. Eh ring... Apparently
Who is that guy that’s in every episode not the Coppola guy the taller clean shaved guy I mean who is he within the godfather crew/actors
No other that THE Al Ruddy, he produced the whole thing and made the right choices (along side Francis) to make the movie the masterpiece that it is. The miniseries is basically his story.
Where is Gianni russo?
The one time Gianni Russo was actually there.
@@crakesandbarrels you are so right. He has so many stories. 😆
He was home, making up more stories.
Does this really happened?

This shit is so creepy
It’s called the Corleone family because pacinos family originated from Corleone, Italy.
No it's not
No it’s not.......Puzo didn’t even know Pacino when he wrote the novel. Why do people like you just make up bs facts like this?
Corleone is a town in Sicily. They're home to the Corleonesi, the deadliest mafia clan on the island.
Puzo gave the family the name Corleone. Coincidentally, Al Pacino’s grandparents came from Corleone, Sicily. He tried to keep it a secret, but finally talked about it on a talk show long after the Godfather movies. The Paramount big wigs didn’t even want Al Pacino in the movie, but Coppola fought for him
But yes, technically Corleone does mean "heart of the lion."
Wtf is this dialogue? No one talks like this 💀
just do a little research and stop embarrassing yourself.
This is the dinner The Godfather cast had a few days before starting to shoot. They started acting in character while having dinner
@@meximedic62 I was in 💖 with the dinner scene 🤩 ESPECIALLY over Justin's Brando mark my WORDS....he's gonna be ICONIC! 😍
That actress playing Diane Keaton really looks like her!
bruh they were acting in character
I loved how nervous the guy who was doing the Fredo character was
Why did fredo actor look ashamed or embarrassed when he offered sonny eggplant?
1:24
They were in character
Cuz that’s Fredo character… no confidence or backbone, the weakone
