flawless opening shot, we come into the film united with the Don as a listener. He is preternatural and marked by a powerful profile in a dark room, observing with our own separateness. When the two shadows pull apart, Don Corleone is a man before whom cats bow, toying with it as he breaks down the perceptions of both Bonasera and ourselves. Then the room opens with Sonny saluting the man in his quest for violence while Tom avoids the moral gray. Copola really sets the bar on pacing a film.
But uh, now you come to me and you say - 'Don Corleone, give me justice.' But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder for money.
Bonasera: I ask for justice.
Don Corleone: That is not justice. Your daughter is still alive.
Bonasera: Let them suffer then, as she suffers. How much shall I pay you?
Little movie trivia: The cat wasn't originally in the movie. It was a stray that Brando found and he liked it so much, he convinced Coppola to let him have it in the film.
"Some day..and that day may never come..I'll call upon you to do a service for me..but uh, until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughters wedding day." Perfect! You cut it off at the exact right moment.

And that movie mogul was REALLY pissed off because Don Corleone was financing an illegal film about Hello Kitty called BonJourno Gatto!

Is it true that with the San Francisco Godfather, when he gives the kiss of death, you get dinner and dancing too?
