Disagree with Duvalle, by presenting the Don as a mild-softly spoken man Brando did something that no show of violence could do...he presented Vito as a master of the aura of controlled intimidation, whose words carried more weight than his antics..when he said "i'll make him an offer he can't refuse" so calmly the violence ensued by his men became nothing but an explanation mark! It also allowed De Niro to show just how much violence the younger vito was capable of but had reigned in!

@pacovl46 I get what you're saying, but I disagree because the Godfather strikes me as a man who doesn't get mad, he gets even. :) I don't think any cracks in the veneer would show that because the man is the epitome of self-control and what it means to be cold and calculating. Displaying anger like that would be a sign of weakness, a lack of self-control. When you have the sort of power he has you don't need to yell at people to get things done or make your wishes known.

I disagree with Duvall...Brando played it spot on...take note people...this is what makes Brando BRANDO...and Duvall Duvall...Marlon Brando is the best actor of all time hands down! He's the G O A T!!!!!!!!

@Mr50centforever It was, but with different people.

I wish the whole godfather series was real. FUKKKK.

duvall was taught under meisner..the man was like a nationalist .as far as meisner is concerned..he ideally worshipped meisner ..so his view of brando is from the perspective of his technique compared to the way meisner would of taught it

That violence is something that you don't want to experience for real. If you ever do witness it, imagine living your life with the fear of that happening everyday.

I don't understand the point R.D. is trying to make here. How else could you present the mafia in cinema without romanticizing it? Isn't that the whole point, to seduce the audience into watching these characters and then to gradually show it what real monsters they are? Sure, an argument could be made about the glorification of violence in media, but don't make TGF the scapegoat. Besides, if he felt so strongly about this, why take a role in the film?

Corps. just poison the biosphere, exploit workers, screw the consumer & undermine democracy.

A while ago there was a study correlating "social stressors," specifically, low wages, unemployment & poverty with heart attacks, diabetes & strokes and the conclusion was that as low wages, unemployment & poverty rises so do heart attacks, strokes & diabetes -- so cut the crap, right-winger Robert Duvall, corps. are FAR more evil than the Mafia.

As for the *money* they steal, it isn't even close!

i dont really agree with him here but i like that he says it

Bitter? Really? I thought he was being honest. Not kissing butt seems more like it. Most of the people involved are a bit wacked (Coppolla, Brando). I find it refreshing that we do not always hear how wonderful everything and everyone was.
