📺 Watching Godfather 1,2,3 📺

Mz iMac — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 01:02:24 GMT

On BBC America for the trillionth time. Right now GF 1 is on & nearing the end.

Each time I watch, there is always something I missed the previous trillionth time.

#1 - The machine gun shootout at the tollbooth...

I could hear Sunny/Santino screaming the whole time the bullets were flying.

#2 - The baptismal killing of the 4 heads of the "family".....

When Clemenza gets to the elevator, door opens there are THREE men inside. Clemenza pulls out his rifle & shoots TWICE.

Ok, 2 is coming on now. Let's see what I missed. Will post if I missed anything.

My favorite part is when the family gets revenge during the baptism. This is not my usual kind of movie, but it's a great story.

Look for oranges as a symbol for violence. The Godfather will hand one over to a victim.

We own all 3 DVD's. I like the part in 111 where Michael's sister poisons an old Don at the opera w/cannoli.

I'm watching as well. Here's a question. In GF1 when Michael is in Italy and his wife there is killed by the Barzini's .... Fabrizio is the one who planted the bomb. Does anyone know does Michael catch up with Fabrizio somewhere? I don't recall seeing it in GF1 or GF2 but heard that he perhaps mentions it in one of the movies. Not a fan of GF3 ..... complete waste of time for me.

@Group 5 minus 1 Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

@Mz iMac I could never watch a movie looking for mistakes. That would bug me! LOL!! EXCEPT when they use different horses. My husband hates when I keep saying "That's the THIRD horse!"

@jlkzThe only oranges I remember is when the "retired" GF is playing w/his grandson in the garden. He puts an orange peel on his teeth scaring the boy.

I do not remember Don Corelone young or old or Michael givng an orange to any of the men they killed.

Were the oranges in the GF Saga version?

@Helen852 "Does anyone know does Michael catch up with Fabrizio somewhere?"

Mike catches up w/him in NY. The Brazi family informed Michael of his location as well as his new name. He owned a pizza shop. I forgot his new name, Vincent something. Fabrizio was killed by a car bomb on Michael orders.

The above was cut from GF 1. It was reintroduced in the "made for tv" The GF Saga 2.

The GF Saga version included ALL the cut out scenes from a combined version of 1 & 2 and is 6+hrs long!

@Sooner I'm not looking for mistakes actually. It's just that I've seen the movies so many times, that certain things I don't remember seeing or notice from the previous times I've watched. Like the oranges Jlkc mentioned. I do not remember those scenes.

@Mz iMac You don’t have to explain yourself. I do the same thing. I see something that I never noticed in previous viewings. That’s why I enjoy watching a movie more than once. Always find something I missed.

I've seen Parts 1 and 2 a number of times and I always pick up on something I hadn't noticed before. Those movies are chock full of different characters and locations and part 2 w/the flashbacks to the young Corleone. A lot of the Italian names sound similar to me and I have to really pay attention to who's who.

Al Pacino was so handsome as Michael. He's always drinking water and seems to have such a calm xterior, but boy can he boil over in a hurry. The way he treated Kate was awful. And poor Fredo. He swims w/the fishes.

@jlkz @Mz iMac If you watch Power,Courtney Kemp said they had oranges in the shoot up penthouse scene with Tommy as an homage to the Godfather.

Its funny, I only saw Godfather part one. As half Italian American, I was offended and still am sick of Italians being portrayed as hot headed and or mobsters. (My family was/is kindheartted and calm). When I was in school, someone actually asked me if my families in the mob. I came home and told my dad, and he said tell them if we were in the mob we wouldn't be living here (in a city row home) lol. and my dad got upset and hurt anyone would say that to me! Now my brother, he loves the Godfather lol. Another thing, Jersey shore tv show, they make Italians look like idiots. Cringe!

Our family watches The Godfather every time it airs. We will call each other and remind each other to watch. When we watch together, amond the four of us, we can quote most of the scripts for 1 and 2.

One Christmas, each of us bought a small book with pictures and quotes. Weirdly, every one of us purchased one and received one.

What I find a little strange is that the movies always air around holidays,

@Shorty2U

that is interesting........we have some very close longtime italian friends who are immigrants from italy, they LOVE the godfather movies. it is tradition for them to have it on a non stop loop on thanksgiving day and on christmas day. that is how much they love that movie!

if you want to look for something in the movies.......there are at least 22 scenes in the godfather trilogy that have oranges in them. see how many you can find.

of course, i will give you one......the godfather (vito corleone) actually dies with an orange in his mouth.

they symbolize death or violence that is about to happen.
