CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Senator Geary (G.D. Spradlin) tries to strong arm Michael (Al Pacino), but the threat fails to work.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Francis Ford Coppola's legendary continuation and sequel to his landmark 1972 film, The Godfather, parallels the young Vito Corleone's rise with his son Michael's spiritual fall, deepening The Godfather's depiction of the dark side of the American dream. In the early 1900s, the child Vito flees his Sicilian village for America after the local Mafia kills his family. Vito (Robert De Niro) struggles to make a living, legally or illegally, for his wife and growing brood in Little Italy, killing the local Black Hand Fanucci (Gastone Moschin) after he demands his customary cut of the tyro's business. With Fanucci gone, Vito's communal stature grows, but it is his family (past and present) who matters most to him -- a familial legacy then upended by Michael's (Al Pacino) business expansion in the 1950s. Now based in Lake Tahoe, Michael conspires to make inroads in Las Vegas and Havana pleasure industries by any means necessary. As he realizes that allies like Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg) are trying to kill him, the increasingly paranoid Michael also discovers that his ambition has crippled his marriage to Kay (Diane Keaton) and turned his brother, Fredo (John Cazale), against him. Barely escaping a federal indictment, Michael turns his attention to dealing with his enemies, completing his own corruption.

“Now why would I ever consider paying more for the same phone?”
Apple: because I intend to squeeze you
Lmao!
Because apple consoomers are fucktards.
😂
ahahhahahahaa
Lmaoooo
Al Pacino's eyes are giving the real acting performance.They are showing the real power which Michael has.
Dilpreet Singh this movie should’ve dedicated awards to body language alone...
They are also showing how resigned he is, even regretful, that they must go to the violence. He is corrupt. The politician is corrupt. And they are all part of the same hypocrisy...a fact that pains Michael.
The best part of the scene for me is when Robert Duvall gives the Senator that dirty look..
olemissfan91 you obviously have not seen any daniel day lewis films
olemissfan91 “daniel”best actor even more than pacino or de niro
That was one heck of a veiled threat, the moment he approaches the desk and points the miniature canon at Michael.
Good eye
+StormLord Not only that, but then he has the gall to point his finger at Michael twenty seconds later. I love how Michael's eyes casts a brief glance at his finger before re-focusing that steely gaze back at the senator. The man clearly didn't know who he was messing with.
+bindi06 Well the Senator needed a few lessons in humility and wisdom anyways.
The touch of humility would imply showing respect for those that are above your station and to know your own place.
And the touch of wisdom would be the point when you realize which ones you can and cannot make threats against.
A wise man would always try to keep himself on the good side with the Corleone's, while only a fool would make them his enemies.
+Iwan Egerström
A wise man would have told those slimey newtons to fuck right off and use the military. Small kahunas don't far I am afraid
I think it's a brilliant touch.
@2:00 I love how the senator smoothly switches mental gears here. He just came out of a room where the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife and now he's all pleasant and courtly to the ladies. He's really good at faking it.
Catzilla In my younger days I worked with politicians. The successful ones, all of them, could do that ten, fifteen times a day. It's an essential part of what it takes to make it in that business.
+clycoo5276 Yes completely full of shit. I deal with them daily.
+Catzilla Yes, don't forget that he is a politician, they are lawyers in a different business, but the same tactics.
the senator is just another typical gringo...
+Catzilla Yep, in her Book Chances Senator Peter Richmond was like that. Cheerful, Pleasant, and Jovial but behind closed doors he was a Bully, and a SOB.
There is an example of an unknown actor getting the chance of a lifetime and knocking it out of the park.
G.D. Spradlin was also in Apocalypse Now, another Coppola film. He only appeared in one scene, but was brilliant in that movie as well.
What?
+vic vega
G.D. Spradlin was one of America's great character actors. By then, he had already been in more movies than you can shake a stick at. I don't know anything about his earlier career but I think his best ever performance was as the coach with Nick Nolte and Mack Davis in "North Dallas Forty." His silliest had to be as the corrupt sheriff opposite Jim Garner in "Tank."
Were you referring to Pacino or the senator guy?
Markula4O4O the senator
I could seriously watch the Godfather trilogy over and over again and never grow tired of it. Truly a master piece.
even the third?
Once you start watching,you continue just till the end,even if you have seen it five times.Amazing performances.
Good for you because I almost fell asleep when I first watched the GodFather part#2
I can't even watch the 3rd one. Filled with shitty actors and acting. Pacino is not the same Pacino. Just a joke imo
Ballowax 2002 You were born in 2002 & are a younger viewer so it’s fine that you almost fell asleep. The Godfather films are definitely slow paced & are almost 50 years old, so there’s a fair amount of compromise & patience required from viewers who are used to modern movies when they’re watching The Godfather films. The films also deliver the plot more subtly without the obvious exposition or straight forward nature of modern movies, so it often takes multiple viewings before someone truly enjoys The Godfather films to their fullest potential.
But maybe wait a few years, or just watch it now...and just be prepared beforehand knowing you’ll be sitting there for 3 hours, it’s a slow paced film about family & honour and less about the glamour & action of other post-Scorsese gangster films...and if you just sit back and give it a chance you’ll probably eventually appreciate it.
I see The Godfather films as similar to Lord of the Rings anyway..both based on books & both with troves of backstories, timelines, characters, etc to explore..so it is worthwhile once you do finally get the chance to understand the Godfather films because then you can explore all the themes and really go in depth to it and appreciate the 9 hours of pure cinema from all the 3 movies. Godfather films aren’t the most action packed or fun films out there, but they are certainly enjoyable once they ‘click’ with you, you know? It’s a gradual process to understanding the series but once you do understand then it’s a great experience.
Great acting by Duvall without saying a word. He was missed in part III
Because he was greedy just like that senator
@Akbar Shabazz-Jenkins He deserved what he wanted. Tom Hagen is crucial.
@@34LOLWTF Yeah, I'm sure everybody would've loved seeing him so much that they totally would've forgotten all about Sophia Coppola's terrible performance.
@@akbarshabazz-jenkins7847 They're all out to make a buck, but Michael always comes first for Tom even when they disagreed. Tom could have tried to pull a Fredo but would've gotten nowhere. He's not Italian specifically Sicilian and he's not a gangster but a lawyer and that's that. He loved money too but Michael is his brother and grew up together end of discussion.
@@akbarshabazz-jenkins7847 Yeah her and Lil Sonny Corleone were nauseating.

😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah. Lol.
I love the way Michael calmly looks at the Senator's finger when he points at him. It's the "Well, you just made the biggest mistake of your life... " expression.

“So you’ve chosen... dead prostitute.”
If that senator wanted to he would of destroyed micheal. Dont underestimate the power and influence of a U.S Senator.
@@Jason-rk4nd* would have
don't ever point a cannon at a corleone
That was a bold move, re the canon
+Europe just having the audacity to touch his Furniture was "Bold".
He was a U.S. Senator. One of the most powerful positions on the planet. You control the law and direction of the most influential country on the planet, and you are essentially untouchable, because unlike murdering another anonymous Mafia henchman, murdering a Senator would be headlines around the world (bad for Corleone business). This is why he was so cocky, and why Michael had to "take it" (at least for a while) and couldn't kill him.
Yep, he didn't act intimidated but after the meeting with The Senator, Michael looked at Tom as if to say "We're going to deal with this Mofo!" and boy did they ever.
laminage No doubt about that! Michael realized that while he couldn't take him out, he could exploit a weakness in that he was an elected official. Unlike an enemy Mafia cohort, a Senator's power is derived from his public image and how the voting masses perceive him. He has to care a great deal about his image, and Michael knew that he could use that against him....which he did to perfection
Hagen’s look at 0:27 he’s just like “does this guy know who he’s talking to?”
All the character looks here are literaly masterpiece...
I also like the choice (don't know if it was Pacino's or Coppola's or the editor's) to not have Michael meet Tom's gaze when Tom looks at Michael after looking at the Senator.
It might have made for a pleasing conjunction of visual continuity in the edit, linking the three characters as a triangle - the Senator's unsparing insult, Tom's reaction before glancing at Michael, Michael returning the look of "woah, this guy" back at Tom, before turning back to the Senator. But it would have weakened Michael if we'd seen him exchange glances with Tom, because it would have betrayed a slight need for support.
Michael doesn't need anyone else's validation, verbal or non-verbal. Michael knows his own mind, keeps his own counsel. The cards you see of his are the cards he wants you to see.
it's cool to remain cool when others would have lost it!!!
Leopoldo Astudillo yeah I try to emulate this approach when I argue with my girlfriends. It's a work in progress lol.
Hell yeah. Ice in dem veins. I wish I had it.
It's cool to remain cool when you know (like Michael in this scene) that ultimately you have the upper hand against any of your adversaries.
The Realest Lebomba
YOU DECAPITATE THEIR HORSES?? Jesus dude...
That’s the beauty of Michael. While most people would lose their temper in the moment. He loses his temper by getting revenge later. You may think he’s acting cool, but it’s only because he’s already decided what your fate will be.
Dude i love Michaels personality in part 2 he's very serious and very smart he didn't let anyone get to him, he out played everyone who fucked with him.
No he didn't. Like half the movie is about the consequences that came from him failing to effectively deal with Roth.
You would think that after taking out the heads of the five families in NY, people would be careful with their words and show respect. But politicians have no limit on their ego and stupidity. You can negotiate with someone after you insult them.
One thing about part 2 is that Michael and Roth are both trying to outplay each other. Michael visits Roth as a friend to get him to lower his guard and make him think that he will kill Frank, but Roth realizes that and has the Rosatto Bros try to kill Frank under the pretense that Michael signed off on it
“Senator, we’re both a part of the same hypocrisy.”
But never think that it applies to my family.
@@DavidLucas-ip7ti When senator said 'your f*ing family', Corleone instantly calculated how to puppet him in the future. Not to kill him, but to use it the best he could. This scene is so great, so much content in so little time. A true work of art.
This is the line.
I must have seen this movie 50 times, but I never noticed Geary turn the little canon towards Michael as he's attacking him. Nice.
Really? That was as blatant as it gets!
@@ulphil08 shitty streams mate, the internet isn't what it used to be
Whats the point of watching 50 times if you're still missing everything like a blind mole?
Are you blind?
That’s huge boy!!!!
And later in the story, Senator Geary woke up to something even worse than a horse's head in his bed and found himself under the ownership of Michael Corleone.
Frankie Salazar
The comment was for fun, not for information. Who was behind the assassination attempt is a separate issue.
Michael was way more ruthless and paranoid than his father ever was,but then he also outlived his brothers too
@@shine11223 He basically outlived everyone but at the cost of his own friends and family.

"Now why would I ever pay that much money to get a degree that doesn't guarantee me a job?"

Then don’t take gender studies
@@ringdk183050% of degrees in college are absolute trash
College.....you can have my answer if you like. My offer is:Nothing
What gets me in this scene is the way Tom Hagen his eyes dart from Senator Geary to Michael and back to Senator Geary again. It's like he's thinking "don't go there, Senator, you'll be sorry."
Shawn Werre yes! It’s like Tom Hagen is saying with his eyes, ‘Senator, you just made the biggest mistake of your life.’
Hagen (Duvall) is nothing less than the angel of death...stone cold.
Or they just focused on bald-boy Tom because the senator said oily hair. Tom was thinking ‘does he mean me...or just Michael...or maybe me as well...?”
@@KaizerBeatz-vf9wf 'Can't do it, Saly'.
Shawn Werre
Them eyes alone is some acting and directing. And then we got Michael’s.
This is the same way I reacted to greedy heist teammates in GTA Online who demand 50% when they didn’t help with the preps .
Bruhhh😂
wait wtf the professional wsp

Is this really you dude!?
This is an old classic movie. Stop lumping some video game to it. The comparison is not even close.
imagine if sonny was in this situation.
he would have lost it and threw punches and chairs to the senator, Lol
Sonny would’ve shot him himself. And then told the guest: “We we’re playing with firecrackers.” 😂😂😂😂😂
That's for sure, that guy can't control his fxxking temper, it even leads him to death. Lol
@@rfdagreat9207 I nearly choked on my water awkwardly wheezing at this unexpected cackle. Thanks for making my day lol 😂
And Vincent Corleone would have taken a bite out of his ear.

Tom's face shows absolute caution here, watching Michael's reaction. He knows that if the senator were talking to Sonny like that, Sonny would've lost it.
If he talked to Fredo like that , after finishing banging two waitresses at a time , Fredo would side against the family.
@@alneri8327 underrated comment
Coppola’s choice of actors for all the smaller roles is just incredible. Mo Green, Solozzo, Jack Waltz, Senator Geary, Clemenza, Frankie Five Angels and Hyman Roth are all just as memorable as the family.
In an inspired bit of casting. Hyman Roth was play by acting coach Lee Strasberg. Some of the actors who studied at his school were Brando, Pacino and De Niro.
I love at 0:42 how the music stops when it shows Michael's face. You just know Senator Geary is going to regret saying that. Amazing scene.
I never noticed that. Brilliant.
Wow I just realized that good observation
0:23 I love Duvall's eyes moving up to the Senator and widening slightly. It's the only telegraphing of his certainty that the Senator just cast his own fate.
Excellent observation!!!
everything about this film is immaculate ..the sets,locations,costume,performances and cast,script,filming,music,lighting
Coppola was given all the money he wanted after the incredible profits earned by part 1.
Lawrence Lewis 1 is still better can’t beat that Brando performance you just can’t even with a young deniro trying his absolute hardest.
Michael's face after Pat drops the f-bomb is amazing (0:43). theres all the combinations of anger, rage and restraint. you can see him tense up a bit as he gets angry while also managing to keep his normal facial expression
The point is he shows no emotion, it's just business
@@66kaisersoza You can see how pissed he is behind the no emotion
Michael is pissed at the senators tirade, but what michaels face when he points his finger in his face; that really gets to him even more than when the senator attacks his family
And the way he slightly swivels his chair
Yeah, it was the line "you and your whole f --cking family" that ultimately led to his downfall...
Imagine if Michael had said, "You like horses, Senator?"
I think if Godfather Part II had been made in the present era of stupid references to previous films, they would have put the line in it.
subkontrabasklarinet Godfather did reference the previous film. It’s title alone made it the first movie to reference its sequel status in the title since all other previous movies chose new titles for each sequel rather than using the number system so they wouldn’t scare off viewers who hadn’t seen the first. Not to mention something like Robert De Niro saying “I make him an offer he don’ refuse” in an Italian accent was probably the most fan-servicing one-liner in the Godfather series.
Overall though maybe they would’ve put the line in if it was a modern film...but then again would this have been produced in the modern era? How would cinema have been different had Godfather 2 not released in 1974. There’s so many variables that make your comment bizarre & difficult to relate to since it seems more like a criticism on modern cinema as opposed to a genuine prediction of what would happen had the bunch of variables you laid out All happened to lead to Godfather Pt 2 being a modern movie. It’s just a bizarre far out concept. No offence though.
LOL.
Kaizer.Beatz he’s talking about winking at the audience
I can hear woltz's sound "KHARTOUMMM..... " lol
Michael is damn scary, but there is this strange comfort being in his presence if you are on his good side. He pulled this passive aggressive trope so well and always at the right time. Pacino is unrivalled.
"Passive aggressive"?
The transformation of Michael from the uncertain, hesitant young brother who just got out of the Army who we saw at the beginning of the first movie to the confident, self-assured Godfather of this movie is truly impressive.
War will do that to you
He is a usurper who forgot his place in the family chain of leadership
Marine Corp. Not the Army. He was a Marine Corp Officer with the rank of Captain. Not a small feat in itself.
By part 3, all it showed was that power corrupts and ruins a person and harms the things that matter most to them
I love how Tom is looking at this man and saying to himself, "you must be crazy to be talking to him like that."
Good lawyer , a peace-time Consiglere
pacino is KILLER in this scene! cold as ice
this is the most watchable movie of all time!!!
It’s one of the best of all time but I don’t know how you’d gauge watchability or why this would be near the top. There are plenty who find slow pacing of The Godfather movies to be off-putting, so for that reason I wouldn’t consider it the most watchable.
Maybe he meant to say that it's a movie that makes you want to watch over and over again
No kidding i forgot how manytimes i watch this movie lol not mention the clips in youtube haha
@@KaizerBeatz-vf9wf its watchable because its gripping from start to finish. I mean if Avengers and Transformers are your bag, you aren't going to like godfather.
"... oily hair"
(Tom Hagen thinking: "This guy will be in the trunk of a car by the end of the week")
Those silk suits are nice.
He was wishing he had hair to be oily.
@@JonSmith-cx7gr lol
You must realize, this is a senator - no matter what , Michael
will not have him killed, but instead has him defending him, gets him over on his side ...
I love how Tom Hagen is so chill.
I love the line from the first film when Kay tells him "presidents and senators don't have people killed." Michael's response was "who's being naive, Kay." So true and when this vile senator is later on killed in bed with his mistress it really personifies that line.
He wasn't killed. He was at a Brothel run by Fredo in Reno, and got so drunk he thought he had "killed" the Young Lady. He didn't but he thought he did. That's why The Corleones "owned" him. Remember that Speech he made at The Senate Hearings.
I stand corrected. Will watch it again.
@@laminage what actually happened to the lady? How did she die if senator didnt kill her? I assumed he did bc of their history
@@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan They all but imply that Neri did it.
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 Ah so they got her killed to create dirt on the senator? Wow..
"Senator...we're both a part of the same hypocrisy. But never think it applies to my family." And with that line, the battleground is laid out and Michael is about to destroy this man's whole life. Brilliant scene.💯
Tom was like, "I would kill for some oily hair!"
What I find so effective about this scene (and really the whole opening sequence) is how it contrasts with the first film. Vito is respected and revered almost as a God by everyone who comes to see him while Michael is not shown much respect at all by anyone; Ola, his own sister, "Merle", the Senator or Frank Pentangeli.
Vito was respected and feared. Michael was just feared.
Vito was a charasmatic leader. A father figure type.
Micheal was a pure unlikable psychopath.
@@Dragon_Lair Ppl dealt with Michael purely outta business. Vito was actually loved by those that served him.
Damn, I noticed that too!
Wow, are wrong you are
Tom just sitting there like “oh…. Yikes”
This film is shot impeccably.
Your articulation is a pleasure for the ages.
Yeah it’s a shame the third one didn’t match up. I love the final shot of Godfather Pt 2 as the lighting changes on Michael sat on the bench at the end. That was a simple but great cinematography trick.
1:35 Someone needs to try this at the car dealership and see if it works
G.D. Spradling was an outstanding character actor, as this scene demonstrates. Military/authority figures were his forte. Witness his role briefing Captain Willard in FFC's "Apocalypse Now."
Pacino's eyes are his gift. Its what makes all his performances. I suppose it's the same with any great actor. The eyes are the sole, so to speak.
His eyes are his feet?
Actually, it is the "SOUL."
One of,if not the best,example of how a great supporting cast at the top of their game make every scene in a movie literally a joy to watch.
Guys notice the music stops perfectly which had been playing as an orchestra in the background as sson as Senator yells the F word... Thus making our focus and curiosity strong on Michael's face of what would be his reaction. It also work as an element of surprise or we can say the calmness before storm.... Perfect direction here...
Soon* and Works*
-Yes! Good observation.
XTRABIG Thanks. Such films are masterpieces. Each and every element are put on for a purpose to create the further imlact.
+soldierfilmspresents
perfect editing
VincentHanna121 stfu
0:37 Never noticed how the music climaxes and ends as he finishes his tirade
"my offer is this.. nothing. not even for the fee for the gaming license, which i would appreciate if you could put it up personally." BAD ASS!!!
Notice the music stops with The Senator ending his speech, referring to things are getting real. I love this movie’s details!
Omggg I love when he says “nothing” & how he looks at the Senator Omgg Al Pacino is one of the best actors ever!
great how the Senator turns the cannon right at Michael
Turning the model cannon towards Michael Corleone is so symbolic!
I love the little flash of confusion over the senators face when michael says he would appreciate him putting up the money for the gaming licence personally......awesome acting! Its more a mixture of confusion and recognition of what Michael is capable of......catches him off guard for a split second😮😊
Michael was subtlety thinking “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse” when he said my offer is nothing
Duvall's reaction is so "knowingly" cool. And they edited it into the scene perfectly.
I keep coming back to that...Imagine if Duvall burst out in laughter😂😂
1:29 When he says Senator he doesn't even raise his voice though the other man is leaving. He's so calm and collected. Not a good sign.
Absolutely nobody else could have played that scene like Al Pacino did. He OWNED it!
Al Pacino is one the best actors i ever seen
"The eyes, chico! They never lie"
Pay attention to the subtle lighting in this scene.. the attention to detail they put into this movie is flawless
I could watch this scene over and over again. Magnificent acting.
The look on Robert Duvall’s face says it all. Great acting...
Yeah 👍"DEAD SENATOR" 👀👏😂
Duvall face is priceless. He’s like oh boy you don’t know what you have done.
Micheal had the best hairstyles. He was sharp, clever, and dangerous all at the same time.
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer
An incredible acting by G. D. Spradlin, a very underrated actor of the time. RIP.
"I don't like to see you come out to this country with oily hair" cuts to Tom Hagen LOL 0:20
every single actor deserved an oscar...ALL of them..and in every other category, perfection, i just want to scream at the top of my lungs because of how perfect this movie is, Godfather 1 and 2 that is
al pacino best actor of all time ❤
Nah
YES!
1:26 *OPEN THAT DOOR, SON!!*
The look on Duvall's face when the senator starts in with his weapons-grade xenophobia.
I like how Geary, after he stands, turns the little cannon on Michael's desk toward him. Like he is the one with the power.
He has power, otherwise he would be dead.
I remember something similar happening to my father when I was little. He was trying to start a car dealer and they tried to jack up the prices simply because he was Latino. And my father was too proud to accept it so he never gave in.
Fantastic acting! When he points the canon at Al Pacino, just fantastic intricate acting! 🎭
Love the cut to Tom and the look he gives at 0:22. Like "Man, wtf are you doing?"
Best business line I’ve ever been privileged to repeat. “ my offer to you is this, nothing”
What the hell kind of circumstance made that line relevant let alone practical lol
Each and every scend in this movie is an masterpiece,can watch all my life still won't get bored .
This scene gave me shivers, especially how calmly the senator greeted the ladies outside just after calling the Mafia's bluff. Was THAT how the real world worked?
This is great-I think Al Pacino in his most subtle, ice-cold moments was where he shined the most. G.D Spradlin (the actor playing the senator) adds a great touch to this scene-apparently he wrote most of his lines.
Just the look Tom gives Michael at the end
This gotta be one of my favorite scenes in this movie..
Just shows how much a boss and gangster Michael was.. trying to hustle the SENATOR of the state.
It is a great scene but actually Senator Geary tried to hustle a mafia boss and Corleone politely told him to fuck off.
haha.. u right.. which is even more gangsta..
Michael was less gangster, just more power hungry to an expense that destroyed his family and everyone around him.
Now Vito..he was a boss. He was a criminal who ordered death, but throughout that he still kept his family as the priority, still was altruistic and looked out for his community both in the younger years and even in his later years on days like his daughter’s wedding day. Vito took in & adopted a son too and maintained a balance of all necessary qualities.
Michael was just trying to be a gangster though. Trying to be his father. And overcompensating with how hard he tried and that was ultimately his mistake imo. He wasn’t really a gangster or an admirable boss..he was just obsessed with power.
Pacino’s eyes alone deserve an oscar
In the first Godfather, Vito Corleone is doing business in his office while his daughter's wedding party was taking place outside. In Godfather part 2, just like his father, Michael is doing business while his son's first Communion party is taking place outside his office.
Robert Masina the parallels go so much further. Starts with a party. Follows with an attempt on the life of one of Michael’s family members. Michael then becomes colder and more ruthless until finally at the end he settles all family business. However, the parallels show lots about the differences between the two dons. Vito’s party looks fun, smiling, laughter, very Italian and family oriented. By contrast, Michaels looks forced and boring. The respect he is given by all those who come to see him in his office shows the respect which he commands. However, Michael’s 2 visitors, Geary and Pentangeli show a fraction of the respect shown to Vito in the first film. There are loads of details and I could go on but do not wish to bore you, and many little details like both films ending with the door being shut on Kay just goes to show the thought put into this fantastic film.
It's a great cover, so the national senator can have a face to face meeting with the mans suspected of running the most powerful criminal enterprise in the United States, under the guise of accepting a charitable donation. The senator/politicians, are usually under constant surveillance by the media.
Also can we take a moment to appreciate the stunning lighting at 01:07 on the Senator's face, leaving him half in shadow, right before he aims the cannon
The Actor playing the senator here stole the show.
Virtually every scene in these films are iconic...and as priceless as a Da Vinci.
First, learn the meaning of "iconic." Second, learn the meaning of "hyperbole." Third, make neither of those mistakes again.
I just love how he blinks away his anger and stays real calm and cool.
“The dishonest way you pose yourself.” I love how the Senator is describing himself and is most likely oblivious to that fact.
Pretty much most politicians today. Nothing has really changed. Life imitates art.
What an amazing scene, you can really see where Michael is about to pop in anger, but is reserved and toned in his responses.
He didn’t like hearing the truth, that he’s a greasy crook in a silk suit. I mean, is that not exactly what he is? People want to elevate mafia figures to mythical status when everyone of them fully deserves the violent death they often receive.
@@CorePathway I think he knew who he was, that’s why he is so calculating. It’s about knowing yourself enough, which is why Michael is able to make it to the end of G3 with his daughter dying instead of him.
@@CorePathway that’s why his response wasn’t to deny the accusation (except about his family, which is true to the extent that the women are not involved). Instead, he rightfully flipped it back on the Senator, whose only difference is being a WASP.
Watched the whole movie 8 months ago, has been my favorite movie ever since!
0:40 look how much time Coppola gives Pacino to just sit there and THINK. Every modern movie and tv show is so overwhelming with its bing-bang whimsical back and forth that never lets the scene breathe. Michael has just been insulted by a powerful man and he takes a minute to soak it in before letting the Senator off with a warning.
I have seen some movies over the years..but this scene is just one of the most epic I have ever seen.that COLD.CALCULATING. stare after saying NOTHING is beyond nowadays scale.
I was 17 when i saw this movie and since then it remains my fav movie of all time.
Michael Corleone was never his father - he never had the same respect from his family or his enemies. He tried to be fair to everyone and he was betrayed and let down. It brought out who he really was - someone who used fear for power - just like the don who killed his grandmother, and the black hand his father killed so long ago. Perhaps, this was why Veto never wanted Michael in the family business. He knew it might destroy the real family.
Nah, times are - or were, changing. Even with Vito in power some new waves of aggressive hotshots like Sollozzo will try to muscle their way in.
What would be a nice what-if is to see Vito with both Michael and Tom.
Vito was probably similar to Michael in his younger years but as he aged he got a little softer which allowed the younger mob guys the courage to muscle in.
@@bkfabs Young Vito is seen in Godfather 2. Vito was loved by everyone - even his enemies. Michael was feared. Michael was similar to the Don that Vito killed in Godfather 2. He ruled with fear.
@@drewk8472 they really didn’t show the 30 year span from Vito in his 30’s to 60’s. I’m sure the other mob bosses tried to muscle in at times, and I’m sure Vito had to rule with fear then just as he did with Mr. Waltz and the bandleader in his later years.
@@bkfabs We only have the script to go on - the script is the story. What happened off camera isn't what the character arc is about.
Michael put him in his place big time.
This antagonism between Michael and Geary always reminds me of that scene in _Part I_ where he sees his father for the last time. Don Vito had to bring his sons Sonny and Fredo into his world of crime because he had no choice - he wasn't yet a wealthy man.
But Michael was born _after_ Vito created his empire, and Michael's future was going to be his life's greatest reward. He wanted Michael to go to school, to study law, and to be a U.S. Senator, because he thought of politics as the major leagues where the _ultimate_ gangsters were: "those bigshots who hold the strings." You can tell that Geary sees himself exactly that way - that he considers Michael beneath him, an inferior breed of criminal.
. . . . And Michael is about to prove them both wrong, by putting this one "bigshot" in his place.
Actually Michael was born just before Vito got involved in the mafia. In part 2 we see Vito taking Michael (then a toddler) in his arms and saying in Italian "Michael your father loves you very much" just after he's killed Fanucci. As for not having any choice in Sonny's and Fredo's regards they themselves chose to get involved when Vito wanted them both to lead honest lives. It's written in the book. Vito's long term goal, which he then passed down to Michael, was to make the Corleone family entirely legitimate since he knew that by continuing in the mafia sooner or later they'd all end up getting murdered , and so it proved with sonny's death.
If it was the Don himself he may have said "Senator Geary, what have I done to deserve such disrespect....and would have had the senator's wife's severed head under his bed sheets that same week
Vito would have never tried to get away with killing a Senator (or any of his relatives) especially over something like this.
Not even Sonny would.
Who exactly is Turnbull?
Retribution Jenko Real women don't hurt men
Then women should stop screaming about how equal they are, in *every* way, when they're actually not.
So I guess they're not actually "equal" then, huh?
After watching this movie dozens of times (sometimes twice in one night), I still don't know how Al Pacino perfected that role; as a man trying to live up to his father's strength. This scene is one of the few scenes in Part II where Al Pacino shows his world class talent as an actor.
Damn, twice in one night? That's some dedication. I love this movie too, but mostly I split this movie up over 2 nights ... it does have an intermission after all.
He pronounced himself as a dead man at 0:48
One thing for certain and is obvious: Michael is deadly serious about his family.
Best comeback ever.
