The Godfather - My favorite scene (speech)

The Godfather Restoration BluRay ► http://tinyurl.com/AmznGFRestoration
The new transfers for The Godfather Parts I and II are stunning. It really is like seeing them for the first time. All of the murky, faded colors have been restored to their original glory while still retaining the warmth of the film stock. Gordon Willis' then-controversial cinematography can finally be seen they way it was intended on these new discs. If you have the original box set, it is worth it to double dip if only for the restoration job on these two films.

Carried over from the original set are all of Francis Ford Coppola's commentary tracks for the three films. On The Godfather one, he appropriately enough, starts off by talking about the film's famous opening scene and how it was supposed to start with the wedding but a friend suggested he do something else. Coppola talks about how he organized the elaborate wedding sequence and shot it only 2-3 days! He talks about the pressure he was under by the studio and in read danger of being fired because they didn't like what he was doing. This is pretty solid track that we've come to expect from the veteran filmmaker.

Coppola's contributes another excellent commentary for The Godfather Part II. Initially, he had no interest in doing a sequel and dealing with studio bureaucracy. He suggested Martin Scorsese for the job. The studio balked at this idea and accepted all of Coppola's terms. The veteran filmmaker talks at length about the development of the Corleone family from Part I. Coppola is engaging and very articulate, delivering a top notch track that is well worth a listen for any fan of this movie.

Finally, there is Coppola's commentary for The Godfather Part III. One of the heated debates the filmmaker had with the studio was over Pacino's hair. He wanted Michael to look older and like a man in crisis, while the studio didn't want to mess with Pacino's distinctive looks. Coppola defends his casting of Sofia and feels that she ...http://tinyurl.com/TheGodfatherCollection

@jasonjamesw Because for gangsters peace is good for business, but for politicians war is more profitable.

Here is my favorite Godfather dialogue:

M: My father is a good man, like a president or a senator.

K: Do you realize how naive you sound? Presidents and senators don't have people killed.

M: Now who's being naive.

Never in the history of the Oscars has the Academy Award for Best Actor been more richly deserved. Or more well refused.

drugs? great don vito.. look what happened to michael.. he turned into a drug lord (tony montana)

3:00-3:42...Pretty much how they thought of us back then.Makes me wonder why there's so much idolization of the Mafia by Hip-Hop artists.It's no secret that lower class Black neighborhoods were and remain a financial backbone of organized crime.The attitudes of racial superiority just made them more inclined to do so.If I'm not mistaken,in the novel,this particular Don is looked at in disdain for even metioning this,as if it's understood that Blacks are "less than"-Saying so was overdoing it.
