Watching The Godfather for the first time in years. A few things that have struck me so far:

1. There is some clunky expository dialogue in the beginning. Kay literally asks stuff like "Who is he? What's his name?" and "What's a consigliere?"

2. The sequence when Tom Hagen goes to Hollywood is sloppy. The introduction of the horse is awkward and on-the-nose.

3. I don't think this movie gets recognized for how fast-paced it is. The events move by very briskly.

Also, the "Coppola Restoration" Blu-ray transfer is a noisy mess.

[LoathedVermin72]

Is this the greatest cast ever assembled? Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, John Cazale, Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden...holy shit.

[LoathedVermin72]

The restaurant scene is still one of the greatest ever.

[LoathedVermin72]

Brando's reaction to hearing Michael killed Salozzo is devastating.

[LoathedVermin72]

I love the scene when Michael visits Corleone.

"Where are all the men?"
"They're all dead from vendettas."

Oof.

[LoathedVermin72]

Man, Part II just grinds the pacing to a halt.

once upon a time in shanghai wasn't influenced by them at all

[Rangi Guy]

Watched the first two recently - haven't found the time to sit down and watch the third one yet

[LoathedVermin72]

The "It was an abortion!" scene in Godfather II is one of the most melodramatic and embarrassing things I think I've ever seen in a movie. Yeesh.

"It was an abortion, Michael! Just like our marriage is an abortion! Something that's unholy and evil!"

How did dialogue like that actually make it to the screen?
