- From Godfather II - Vito has had enough of Don Fanucci and he wishes to eliminate him, however he dosen't say it that exactly that way. When he does Vito is recognized as the New Don of the neighborhood.
Carmela’s the ideal wife. Understands poverty and is grateful to receive a simple pear as a gift, makes his man and his boys dinner to help them remove a local poverty-causing parasite while not getting involved at all. She’s truly beautiful.
Absolutely!!!!
I miss Mama Corleone.
Yep. She understood Vito had to do what was necessary for his family. Unfortunately Kay didn't understand or appreciate that with Michael.
reminds me of apollonia & micheal.
I don't think this was dinner. This is just a snack for Clemenza. Vito and the other (Tessio) are just being polite by eating with him.
Underrated Performance here by Bruno Kirby as Clemenza. This is my favorite scene of all The Godfather movies when he taps on the table and he looks at Tessio and points his open hand to Corleone indicating Tessio to explained and then the dumbfounded look he has staring at Don Corleone sideways when Corleone tries to get them to agree to let him handle it and pay less . His expression really captured his thoughts as he is looking at Corleone like he’s crazy his mind trying to figure out what the hell Corleone has planned and even at the end when he hesitates to toasts and he has that dumbfounded look. So great!!!! Kudos Bruno Kirby!!!!
Yes he knows the danger.
This scene is one of my favorites too.
@@marieadams3720 Hi, you're smoking hot. Come to Lake Tahoe and we can go to the Godfather estate on the west shore and I will hold you in my arms all day and night and make sweet passionate crazy wild love to you.
Kirby was a great actor.......wonderful in this
That ain't Tessio it's Jenco
The moment he became the boss. They went from telling him what it is to listening to him. So smooth
But the real moment he became boss was when he shot Fanucci.
@@SamLeChiq absolutely
The book had much more of these badass moments where he basically takes out two assassins sent by Al Capone to aid Maranzallo.. and asks Capone that a Neapolitan like him should stay away from matters of two Sicilians.. and he gets Maranzallo killed by infiltrating his organisation making him completely weak and powerless in the end and then combining his regime to build the Corleone empire...
Vito stepped up.
I was just thinking that. He takes the burden and responsibility with confidence and they both almost immediately cede to his leadership.
This scene would make more sense if they hadn’t left another scene on the cutting room floor. In the cut scene, Fanucci is attacked in an alley by some young punks. He calls for help and eventually they run off. Vito sees this from a distance, and realizes that Fanucci is not that powerful because one, he would have had the punks punished (or the punks would have known better) and two, Fanucci wouldn’t be caught alone in an alley without security. So Vito realizes that the guy’s a fake, and especially if he takes less extortion money. So that also gives Vito the green light to murder him.
In the book, Fanucci had one of the guys who cut him from ear to ear killed I think.. and other guys' parents paid money to him to keep them alive which proved as a blessing in disguise to him because it made him fearsome.. but vito because he saw the entire thing is sure that fanucci doesn't have the important standing with mob that he claims he has because he let the guys get away by essentially raising their hands on him.. which is a big no-no in the mafia..
That scene was edited back in. And you described to the T
@@SK008 in the book, I believe the guy who was cut ear to ear was killed by the mob, but it had litterally nothing to do with Fannuci. The guy was a fake in every sense of the word. Vito knew that threatening a maffioso is basically death sentence and he proved his theory by giving him less he asked for in payment.
@@blaky626 in the book, it is described as Fanuccci proved himself to be a murderer.. so it could be that the families had the boy murdered or maybe it was his goons that killed that boy.. Vito took precautions before killing him which meant if were to fail, there could have been repercussions.. so I think Fanucci was a murderer..
It's been a few years since I've read it so I'm sure I'm missing some pieces, I just know Fanucci was a fraud all around. However I wouldn't put it passed him to be a murderer
Vito is smart. Earlier in the movie, Don Fanucci asks Vito for $200 each from the 3 of them and says '"well even if you don't have that much, I'll take a little less".
Vito cunningly doesn't tell Clemenza and Tessio this and says 'I'll reason with him" to make them believe that Vito is an incredible negotiator (rather than Don Fanucci being a pathetic low life) and thus Vito is much more likely to gain their respect and loyalty in the future.
Good read. I like it. Vito doesn't technically lie, but just let's them believe what they'd think was implied, which leads these leaders of men, into being lead by him.
Yeah, but they know its Vito who kills Fanucci. I think Tessio knows Vito is going to at least strong arm Fanucci which is why he agrees so quickly. Clamenza is dumbfounded all the way through and only agrees after Tessio raises his glass. Vito more or less tricked them into paying him for a hit.
My take is that Vito has the inner-gall that his older brother and father had, but also the cunning skill of concealing it like his mother, who did not fear death.
This is the moment Vito became Boss. Tessio understood right away. Clemenza was a bit dumbfounded but belatedly got the hint that he was now working for Vito.
Lol well said
It’s the smart move. “Tessio was always smarter “
@@andrewfield5656 Since day 1 apparently LOL
Tessio and Clemenza would be nothing without Vito. But Sadly Tessio turned on the Corleones
Bruno Kirby is only 23 in this movie such an underrated Talent R.I.P.
25. He was born in 1949, and the movie is from 1974. Because it's Godfather 2.
His father, Bruce Kirby, was an actor and acquaintance of Coppola. When Bruno was looking for his first big movie role his father asked Coppola if he had any parts in the upcoming GFII for his son, Coppola laughed and said "I've got LOTS of parts!". Copolla did give Bruno a screen test, was impressed and cast him as Young Clemenza.
1974 exposed in the cinemas,set up in 1973....in this scene bruno kirby was 24...
Wow this scene is very comparable to the scene in godfather 1, where no one is taking michael serious about killing sollozzo and the cop. They tell him to stay out of the business and are shocked at how serious he is about the plan. Wow.
And Michael then ends up pulling off the hit on McKlusky and Sollozo with absolute perfection, just like Vito does with the hit on Fanucci.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 -O-,C,>
Really good point. The comparison is really clear now that you’ve mentioned it.
My take away is that I’m always hungry for spaghetti marinara after this scene. I can’t help it.
It looks so GOOD! The real homemade pasta, with the GRAVY like my grandmother used to make from scratch in South Philly.
Same here! Best scene to watch while eating dinner lol
Because of some Corleone genes in your blood?
Più che marinara sembra al ragù.
@@marioscafroglia Eh hai ragione. Qualunque cosa sia sembra buono.
godfather and sopranos make me hungry.the foods look delicious
The Don was born at this meal
The Don was born at a family funeral in Sicily. This was his last job interview.
they explain the dynamics between vito and his men in the book, cause clemenza acted like he ran the crew, but after vito kills fannucci both clemenza and tessio are scared shitless of vito and didn't go to see him for days. But later they did and vito organized his crew with both guys as captains, and had both guys get their own crew, told them not to hang out and socialize with each other. Its very old school
Tessio was always smarter.
But not as loyal as clemenza
Both had their strengths. Vito knew how to use them both. It wasn't until the Don was sick that his own Capo saw the weakness his enemies saw.
And Clemenza liked to eat.
It’s the truth. Tessio is a very smart while also a dangerous guy. If you read the novel you’ll see how highly Vito thinks of Tessio.
Smart but not as much as Vito. He couldn't see through the lies of 'Don' Fanucci
And thus a legend was born, Don Corleone!!
THIS is when De Niro just cemented himself as one of the all-time greats...to take on THAT role as a young Brando, how many actors could have filled those shoes.
Pretty much none. De Niro and Al pacino are the last of there kind. Today's actors are pretty shit in my opinion
Francis Ford Copolla is a great director and made the right choice of selecting Robert De Niro for this role.
@@carlinytc7431 some of them are still good.. there are actors who exist but there is aura of pretentiousness around them that greats like de Niro, Pacino and Nicholson never had.. I think the best actors working today are Gary oldman(a case can be made that he is old school because his career has spanned 3-4 decades), Christian bale and Joaquin phoenix...
@@SK008 Joaquin is a one trick pony. Don't be surprised he fizzles out. I would add to your list Benedict Cumberbatch, Christian Bale, and Michael Fassbender.
@@shreddykrueger3776 Cumberbatch is pretty good.. Jake Gyllenhaal is also pretty good in some movies i have seen him in.. as of now Joaquin has a pretty solid track record.. so I can't say about his future..
This was the moment Clemenza knew there was a don sitting at the table and it wasn’t him.
How to I get MY wife to serve me and my friends a nice spaghetti dinner, and then go away and mind her own business?😂
They don’t make them like that no more.
Because at that time, women know how hard it is to earn money, and he and his friends are always busy plotting their rackets to put food on the table, also they are talking about Fanucci who extort them and planning to end his tyranny.
Step 1) Be a reliable and trustworthy man
Step 2) Place the needs of your loved ones above your own
Step 3) Marry someone with the same attitude
Let's time travel
Maybe she could have intervened and helped Vito invest in a legit business early. Saved him about 7 gunshot wounds and a couple of murdered sons. But, hey, I guess she's just better off in the kitchen, right?!
this scene was all about power. He didn't want to tell Tessio and Clemenza on why he would give less to Fannucci. He didn't want either one of them to get this idea and do it first to Fannucci. Vito knew that if he went to Fannucci and gave him half of what was owed and Fannucci took the money then Vito knew that Fannucci wasn't as powerful as everyone though he was. Thats when Vito was going to strike. Tessio was the Brains, Clemenza. the muscle but Vito had both.
I wouldn't say Clemenza was stupid after all he survived and Tessio didn't. Tessio may have been smart but he was blind where his treachery was concerned having known Vito for decades you'd think he'd know better than to betray him he was a close friend can you imagine what he knows about Vito's past misdeeds and he thought he'd get away with it! Clemenza on the other hand whilst not as smart as Tessio and Vito clearly has street smarts and other useful skills plus he was 100% loyal to Vito and the Corleone's until his own death.
Don’t argue with him, since he’s so tough. Vito breakin’ balls!
That spaghetti looks SO.........GOTT-DAMN GOOD...lol
This is great....Bruno Kirby's character ate pasta the same way in sleepers
My Sicilian grandfather, same.
Man I'd love a bowl of that spaghetti.
Eating pasta is a must when watching the Godfather.
It actually makes me hungry for Chinese food because they're all scarfing it down during the scene where they're waiting to find out where Sollozo is going to take Michael for the sit-down (hit).
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! IT`S 2024, EVEN BACK IN 2019 WHEN YOU RECORDED THIS VIDEO....NEVER EVER FILM FROM YOUR SCREEN!!!
0:55 I love his way of saying "make him go back to his senses"
So italian.
I LOVE this scene
Same here and such a funny yet poignant scene where the power shifts from Clemenza to Corleone, so subtlety.
Such a funny yet poignant scene where the power shifts from Clemenza to Corleone, so subtlety and effortlessly.
These guys prefer a safer life deferring to Fanuccci.
Fanuccci offers Vito a job whilst really planning to kill him. Vito beats him to the punch.
The guy playing Tessio was the DA who questioned Junior Soprano after his arrest in season 1 finale
Clemenza must have been hungry af. got his napkin tucked into his shirt before the pasta even makes it to the table!
Don't you just love Vito's way of minimizing the three's methods of skulduggery? "Why should we give him the money we've sweated for?" As if they're out breaking their backs like hard working steveadors on a dock. 'Course then, they'd be up against some real hard cases; Arnold Rothstein, Salvatore Maranzano or Joe the Boss Masseria. About this time, Charlie Luciano and Meyer Lansky were involved with one or all three of those mugs. Suddenly Fanucci doesn't look so tough compared to the big 3 of that era.
Lansky got a lot of press because he was a Jew and flashy. Luciano, Maranzano and Masseria were real tough guys but they weren't the only ones. There was Gagliano, who founded what is now the Lucchesi Family and who is almost totally unknown. There were very tough Irish gansters like Owney "The Killer" Madden who transferred to Hot Spring, Arkansas; mentored Bill Clinton (his mom was one of his secretaries and mistresses - he was the closest to a father figure Bill ever got); who died in the late 1960's still running Arkansas. There's good reason to believe he killed over 60 men in shootouts. There were Frank Costello, Albert Anastasia and Vito Genovese in the early stages of their careers. Just slightly later were guys like Sonny Franzese who became a made member of the Mafia at only 14 in 1931, back when you had to "make your bones" to be made. He passed away in 2020 and killed between 30 and 60 men. These were far from the only ones. Fanucci was a punk compared to many of them.
Bruno Kirby didn’t understand a word of Italian, yet he spoke it perfectly in that scene. Same for DeNiro.
de niro definitely knew italian. he went to sicilia and lived there for 4 months to learn the dialect before he shot godfather 2
In the first movie, they say I'll make him an offer he can't refuse. In the book and here, he says I'll reason with him. Much more subtle.
Not realy. The landmark line in The Godfather was the standard one. Here he was just getting ready to get started
@@robertctea - I might remember wrong but I recall from the book that when Vito uttered the word "reason", it was a sign to his opponent that negotiations were about over and other, more unpleasant, measures would follow. I seem to remember an anecdote being told where he stormed out of a meeting saying "No one can reason with this man". Whoever it was, overcome with fear, sent his people scurrying after him begging him to return to the meeting. Do I remember wrong?
@@jerometaperman7102 That's exactly how it happened.
Please don't compare the book to the movie. This is all about the movie
@@robertctea - Can’t help it. I do it all the time!
Mama looks at him like "Are you gonna give that bum our money?"
Great acting by Robert DiNiro as a young Vito Corleone in The Godfather II and Bruno Kirby as a young Peter Clemenza also did great acting. The Godfather movies are great and I had read the book 4 times which covers more and is very good reading.
It is. I read it twice.
DeNiro been pointing that index finger since the Godfather.
I take care everything 😁
That's literally one of my fave parts of the film 🤣
The dialect is perfect.Coppola’s attention to detail was genius.
I am italian, The dialect is not perfect , the pronunciation and the accent is not italian, but Italo american
@@hikariamendola193 That is exactly my point. It is The Godfather movies and maybe 1 or 2 others where I dont need to read the subtitles. That is the exact dialect that I speak, the only one I now how to. I was born in the U.S and both of my parents were born and are from Sicily.
@@rukiddingmeNJ exactly, your relatives have not grown up and do not live in sicily. it's absurd how you presume to know more about the Italian language and its dialects than an Italian does, and I'm an Italian. among Italian Americans you speak like this perhaps. but here in Italy and in Sicily it is not spoken like that. I am stunned. you Americans always want to know everything. I am Italian and I know my language and my dialects.
@@hikariamendola193 my parents DID grow up there, they arrived in the U.S when they were in their 20s. I still have a lot of family in Italy. Hikari, I am actually agreeing with you. This scene takes place in NY and yes it is not proper Italian. That is the point. I do not speak proper Italian and yes it is exactly the way they speak in the film. Relax. I am a proud American and I DO NOT always want to know everything. What is with “you Americans” ? Wtf is that?
@@rukiddingmeNJ caro mio tu sei americano, non italiano, non hai i nostri valori. Voi Italo americani pensate di rappresentare l'Italia, ma centrate poco con il nostro paese, è un dato di fatto. Le radici dell'essere italiano, non si basano sangue e su una serie di principi " medioevali " inutili e che non rappresentano il nostro paese. L'Italia non è quella di 70 anni fa', e il meridione di quel tempo non esiste più. L'Italia è un altra
...i want a spaghetti dinner now!🙂🙂
Since then,He became a God Father.
Leave the gun, take the spaghetti.
RIP John Aprea, the young version of Tessio.
Clemenza's face 😂
Bruno Kirby's Sicilian dialect acting is amazing although you can slightly hear the American accent
2:19 Tell them you're the boss without telling them you're the boss
you g Clemenza resembles older Clemenza, but young Tessio looks nothing like older Tessio.
2:18 Vito's hand gesture, mocking Fanucci as a tough guy. He draws his thumb down his cheek, to show how Fanucci must have a knife-scarred face.
"Noialtri siamo three "
Food scenes are some of my favorite, in any movie....
The food looks great! Someone say "Grazie!" to Signorina Corleone! I'm starving over here now! Fughedaboutit!
I would kill for that shirt Vito’s wearing at the dinner table 😁
Love Bruno Kirby in this, too.
Don Fanucci, he’s old school. Very allegorical. But this dustup between him & Vito was a total debucle. And it put them at the precipice of a major crossroads between the sacred and the propane. Now Clemenza, he should go get his shinebox.
I’m guessing Maranzalla is a fictitious version of Salvatore Maranzano?
I'm glad vito killed fanucci, he was a tyrant. It also paved the way for vito getting retribution on don ciccio for having Vito's father, brother and mother killed when vito was a child. Because I doubt vito would have been able to make a deal with tommasino for vito to kill don ciccio so tommasino would take over don ciccio's position.
Vito saw he could finally take care of his family the way he wanted. He recognized Fannucci was just a hood. If Vito knew he could eliminate this adversary, he'd gain the respect to well beyond just the neighborhood. Then, he would be in a position make make REAL deals with other Bosses, police, politicians, even business tycoons. Then, he would create an opportunity to take his vengeance.
@@Euripides_Panz thats exactly what happened; quite nice description of the chain of events that we all supposed happen (because we dont see that level of detail in the movie; maybe in the book?)
@@gadget00 I don't believe it was written how many steps ahead Vito planned, so it's speculative. It could be even as a child, he was unusually deliberate. I'd assumed his mother claimed he was slow-witted merely to save his life, but he may have been developing his intuitive thought processes that would serve him prodigiously for decades.
So cool how Vito is feeding his buddies 😊😊😎
Tessio is handsome
Finally. Subtitles.
Goodness, all three of them are so handsome.
Love this scene.
Great scene. This is when Vito became a leader.
Tesio was always the calculating one .
0:25 That pasta and sauce looks so good!
Wow. See the wife just minding her business and not getting involved at all. She is just there doing her duty in the kitchen and the moment she's done, she left the kitchen to let the men discuss their business. What an ideal wife. And thats exactly the kind of wife that Apolonia would have been for Michael Corleone until a wicked soul took ger away from him that moulded Michael into the ruthless gangster that we all knew him to be
Best actor ever Who eating 🙏🙏😂👍 mamma Mia, Pure love to food
Don Vito has the IQ of a thousand. He's better than Michael
Indeed
ой какой красивый итальянский язык, а какой фильм, шедеврально
If this was Sopranos I could hear Carmela yelling "TONY! TONY!" Then after they fight, she wonders what she'll get out of it...new tennis bracelet, new car, a project home to sell...
We all need friend like clemenza
Jon Cryer was born in New York City, NY.
$200 in that day must have been a crippling sum for a small business.
According to US Inflation Calculator, in 1913 (the farthest back it goes) $200 was the equivalent of roughly $6,100 in today's money.
That apartment looks like the one in the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. I wonder if this was filmed there.
Film with the highest body count that also makes you _HUNGRY AF_
this makes me want to eat spaghetti
The flashbacks are way better in my opinion Bruno Kirby and me share the same birthday April 28th
DeNiro was the best actor in the world for a time, and I say that as somebody who does not really like him.
Nostalgic
lots of words that are not sicilian in that scene. were they not all supposed to be from sicily?
GREAT !
I thought Italians didnt use a spoon for spaghetti
Tell Mike it was ONLY business,
I always liked him !!
Tom, you think you can get me a pass, for ol' times sake ?!?
Is that a bolognese or a marinara?
Mob movies always give me an appetite......
Their ‘Sicilian’ accents are terrible.
Don Fanucci was the only actor that spoke a genuine Sicilian dialect.
None of them actually spoke or understood Italian, so there's that....
Salute!
I'd like some of that spaghetti.
What is hanging on the walls?!?
Frank Leotardo was the second bookie Vito mentioned.
For native italian speakers, is that pure Sicilian accent? I sense De Niro talks with Italo american NY accent
Which is Sicilian and Neapolitan based. American Italian is largely derived from southern dialects and speaking styles. Watch any Italian TV series or movie shot in Sicily or the South and you'll realize this. Northern Italians differ as much from southern Italians in speaking as much as Newfoundlanders differ from Louisiana Cajuns in their English.
Absolutely not pure. They're kind of using Sicilian words in a clunky way with an heavy american accent.
@@Iblis00 as usual not native
As a non- Sicilian, non-American observer from a distant land, would you expect pure Sicilian from a boy who had to make his way from the age of nine in America? There would be some American colouring in the language he (and people like him) spoke
I love how this early on, Clamenza and Tessio actually sort of rank Vito. It makes the betrayal of the first film more realistic.
You taped this off of your TV screen. Don't do that. The picture is cheap, the sound is lousy and it's in bad taste. I have no interest in watching someone else's tv.
How do you capture DRM video otherwise?
Then don't watch? What do you think your idiot comment is going to accomplish?
Frikkin' Guineas!
Lousy audio
Do we have to pay for the spagetti?
What Gang??
1:51 sounds like he lost character!
You see that - old school! The men eat first served by the women who eat last, after the kids! That’s how it’s done!
Dang dude, the women will freak out over your comment 😳
What about Fredo?
Not born yet. The Cuomos weren't from this area.
👍👍👍
Then DeNiro was a stand-up man. Today in 2022 a socialist fanuq.
So you’re idea of capitalism (“a stand up guy”) is to take out the big dog so that you can be the big dog and pay the cops and the courts?
