godfather

The classic works in gangster movies, the director's control over the entire movie is really amazing! Marlon Brando and Al Pacino’s "Godfathers" have very different styles, and the film creates enough differences in details, soundtracks and many other aspects. The first half that belongs to the old godfather is very different from the "gangsters" we are used to. Although there are threats and retaliations, it is far inferior to the cold and violent part of the new godfather. Mike, who seems to be the most irrelevant to all of this, is driven by fate and eventually becomes a new generation of helmsman with decisive and cold blood. His era is closer to the mafia style that we are accustomed to from film and television texts.
The most brilliant performance, the top soundtrack, the most exciting script. Personality determines destiny, and men should spend their entire life learning "careful" as Corleone said, being cautious and calm, but they should also be as decisive as Mike. Those who learn to control their emotions can have the last laugh. Emotional intelligence is very important.

The Godfather quotes

  • Capt. McCluskey: I thought I got all you Guinea hoods locked up! What the hell are you doing here?

    Michael: What happened to the men who were guarding my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: I pulled them guys off of here, eh, now get away from this hospital!

    Michael: I'm not leaving until you put some guards around my father's room.

    Capt. McCluskey: Phil, take him in!

    Cop with Capt. McCluskey outside hospital: The kid's clean Captain, he's a war hero! He's never been mixed up with the rackets...

    Capt. McCluskey: Goddamn it Phil, I said take him in!

    Michael: What's the Turk paying you to set up my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Patrolmen] Take a hold of him. Stand him up. Stand him up straight.

    [punches Michael and breaks his jaw]

  • Sollozzo: [to Michael, in Sicilian] I am sorry. What happened to your father was business. I have much respect for your father. But your father, his thinking is old-fashioned. You must understand why I had to do that. Now let's work through where we go from here.

    [Michael tries speaking in Sicilian, but can't express himself properly, so with a quick look at McCluskey they both switch to English]

    Michael: What I want... what's most important to me is that I have a guarantee: no more attempts on my father's life.

    Sollozzo: What guarantees could I give you, Mike? I'm the hunted one. I've missed my chance. You think too much of me, kid. I am not that clever. All I want is a truce.

    Michael: I have to go to the bathroom. Is that all right?

    Capt. McCluskey: You gotta go, you gotta go.

    [Michael gets up, but a suspicious Sollozzo probes Michael's crotch, to Michael's offense]

    Capt. McCluskey: I frisked him. He's clean.

    Sollozzo: Don't take too long...

    [Michael heads to the bathroom]

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Sollozzo] I frisked a thousand young punks.
