amazing job there by John. His outburst had both anger and fear mixed in between the lines, Look at the way he looks at Mike at 0:21. The way his voice cracked when he said "I'm smart".
Its sad that fredo really did love mikey n didnt mean to hurt him:/ u can see his love when he wuz happy for him bein in the army while sonny got pissed, just sux michael didnt see that:(
Fredo opened the curtains in Michael's bedroom so that Michael could get shot and then Fredo shot the hitmen. No stranger could get into Michael's bedroom. That's how he knew that it was an inside job. When Michael spoke to Tom Hagen about the hit men, he said: "Unless I'm very wrong, they're dead already. They're killed by somebody close to us, inside". Do you remember where the hitmen's bodies were found? Right under Fredo's window. His wife is the one who discovers the bodies.
@Cleon29Warrior "you're not a brother, you're not a friend...I dont wanna know you or what you do, i don't want to see at my house, i dont wanna see you in the Hotels....When you see our mother i wanna know a day an advance so i won't be there.......You understand?"
damn i bet John Cazale would have probably been in Casino or Goodfellas or some other epic movie that came out after he died ..."The.Deer Hunter" 1978 was his last...i think he died during that movie
@newworldomar Yeah, Michael Corleone, in the Godfather Part II, is one of the most cold-hearted characters ever in a movie. To be able to whack your own brother, even if he did screw up royally, takes the soul of a King Cobra.
Why are you laughing at this scene? This scene isn't funny in the slightest. It shows how Michael is treating his own family. It shows how upset Fredo is. He's not a retard as the scene might make it look. Simply imagine how furious he is. Michael just told him to leave. Imagine your own brother forcing you to leave.
@Troublesome2008 Nahhhhh, I don't think Fredo meant for that to happen, he should have known it would have happened though, but he is dumb, and that's why when he says he's smart you can see how vulnerable he is
@Troublesome2008 I didn't think he was even there though, I thought he told his enemies about it and then they dealt with it, I don't think he actually opened the curtains himself did he? I don't think he would, because when they are at that restaurant in Cuba Fredo says i wish we spent time together like this before, as in before he betrayed him.
Fredo opened the curtains in Michael's bedroom and Fredo shot the hitmen. No stranger could get into Michael's bedroom. That's why he knew that it was an inside job.

Right under Fredo's window (his wife is the one who discovers the bodies and starts screaming were she found them).
@Troublesome2008 I know i watch all my movies online because im a cheap bastard, let me watch this dot com is the one i use lol on there it's all in one chunk of video, putlocker and sockshare links are the best, megavideo are okay but you have to reset your router to reset the limit on the amount of minutes you've watched otherwise you have to wait for 70 minutes of something gay like that. I remember seeing the bodies after some woman screamed
Imagine your own brother conspiring behind your fucking back to have part of your business taken away, worth millions? Oh, and even though dumbass Fredo said he didn't know they were going to go so far as to whack him, YEAH, they tried to get dat ass, too.
I had a cousin try to blackmail me. Fuck him, too. His mother, my favorite family member, is dead now, so if he crosses me again, I will deal with it.
Fredo, You're nothing to me now. You're not a friend, you're not a brother, I don't wanna know or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I wanna know a day in advance so I won't be there.
He's was so brilliant in The Godfather, but I love that Pacino fought for him to be in Dog Day Afternoon. Pacino said, "I wanted Cazale to be my acting partner forever."
the only time u see fredo speak up for himself,sucks how he died n how he was treated.regardless what folks say about him being dumb or weak,fredo was the most obedient n had the biggest heart outta the three sons.but a big heart means nothing when ur around the criminals n scumbags of the mob.plus him failing to save his dad from gettin shot didn't help him either.but fredo was a good guy,he just had no business being in the mafia.
Fredo was not the birghtest bulb, but he was a good guy. the one thing that he had over Michael was that people genuinely liked Fredo while they feared Michael. You could open up to Fredo. Michael never really was the same after Apollonia died.
@redshieldshatterer Very true. Fredo was actually the nicest of the Don's three sons and just an ordinary Joe who had no business being involved in the rackets. Of course being a nice, likeable fellow isn't much help when you're involved in the Mafia. But in real life I'd rather have friends like Fredo to go drink a beer and shoot some pool with than so called friends I'd have to be wary of like Michael and even Sonny.
He must have been smart, because according to Moe Green, " he was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time!" And if your smart, that is the only way you bang cocktail waitresses!
I like this scene but it's also sad because you know what ends up happening to Fredo in the end. I thought this scene was intense because Fredo spoke up about how he felt.
"Your nothing to me now. Your not a brother, your not a friend. I don't wanna know you or what you do. I don't wanna see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I wanna know a day in advance so I won't be there. You understand?"
I feel for Fredo... I am the youngest of all my siblings, and all my life I have been "the dumbest", "the weakest", the one who can't handle things.... That is NOT true!
@striderhien2 Yeah he was a fine actor. Turned in a great performance in The Deer Hunter where I believe he met future fiance Meryl Streep. I think during the filming of TDH he already had cancer but hid it well. RIP.
@ssww1976 Actually he met Meryl before The Deer Hunter, shortly after he made Dog Day Afternoon. There's an HBO documentary called "I Knew It Was You: Remembering John Cazale". It's currently airing. You should check it out.
Aight... well, this part sure if funny. I love when dumb people have to announce that they're smart. Good rule of thumb to live by: if you must inform people that you're smart, then you're not. :-)
@madtiger111 - Never said I was Fredo dip shit I was saying that I like his character in the movie... Next time, don't, put, soo many "," in a, sentence, you don't need them idiot.
