First time watching this film. I'm up to the part where he's meeting Sollozzo to "negotiate" a deal and a lot of what's being said is in italian. I checked multiple .srt files and none of them have that entire 2 minutes translated.
Is this how the scene was done? Nothing translated? I'm really enjoying the story and would hate to miss some important shit that's being discussed.
Learn italiano, you fucking Mangia cake
i'm israeli, it's literally illegally for me to learn
I did shallow as fuck “analysis” for a school paper 10 years ago. Best I could do was justify it as Michael not paying attention to the conversation because his mind is elsewhere.
This is from michael's perspective,who doesnt speak italian really well so it fits. Also what the fuck are you doing pausing and shitposting here? watch the film all the way first,you fat onionboy.
Yes, that's how it's done. You're supposed to focus on Michael. Solozzo is full of crap anyway.
thank you, and I just finished. was a lot better than I expected. will que up II and III sometime next week.
Why is Part I so much better than Part II?
Wrong.
Ok, I'm watching the scene now.
Solozzo tries to shame michael for wearing velcro shoes and being late to the meeting
Michael expresses his annoyance at the meeting time, since he has only recently woken up, and would rather be at home watching television
Sollozo goes on with some "what does your father thing about the way you're living your life" stuff
Michael asks when the chicken tenders will be served
Sollozo informs him that the chicken tenders were a lie to get Michael to leave his room
Michael retrieves the gun and kills Sollozo and the other guy, who is supposed to be a life coach
you had me until chicken tenders, you son of a bitch
There are no subs or dubs in any print from the 70s. The point is that Sollozzo is a dead man talking so it doesn't matter. It's basically what Sollozzo said to Tom and in the original meeting: "Your father can change his mind. Your father is unreasonable." Solloozo's last words exactly are:
SOLLOZZO: “Everything all right? I respect myself, understand, and cannot allow another man to hold me back. What happened was unavoidable. I had the unspoken support of the other Family dons. If your father were in better health, without his eldest son running things, no disrespect intended, we wouldn’t have this nonsense. We will stop fighting until your father is well and can resume bargaining. No vengeance will be taken. We will have peace, but your Family should interfere no longer.”
>I had the unspoken support of the other Family dons
snake bastards. I never got to see my boy Luca go off. they way they talked about him, I bet he would've mowed the block over any little thing.
this is good
Brando.
Some of the best lines and delivery in all of cinema.
2 was a major downgrade because Pacino forgot how to act after 1.
>Michael retrieves the gun and kills Sollozo and the other guy, who is supposed to be a life coach
When he was shot he last were were supposed to be a congratulations for being assertive!

I always found Luca's assignment to be transparently obvious. I've gone over and around why the Don would sacrifice Luca like that, but it doesn't make any sense from any angle. A distant argument could be made that an informer from within, like Carlo, tipped off the Sollozzo faction, or that Barzini, present at the wedding, witnessed Luca's speech rehearsal, but nothing on screen really supports either explanation. One of very few weaknesses in an otherwise sublime masterpiece.
Luca was a mole. He never died when they said he did.
He dies in the book too though
The old Don was slipping.
When Lenny Montana auditioned for the role of Luca Brasi, the Corleone enforcer in "The Godfather," he only had $11 to his name. When the cast got their first paychecks, Marlon Brando bought a signed 1st edition of Stella Adler's "The Art of Acting." Lenny Montana bought a hot dinner.
I need more mafia Kino.
Give me recommendations
I saw Marlo Brandon at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
