if i was that baby, it would not have gone down the way that it did, there would have been a lot of piss inside that furnace

>>211515517 (OP)

I tried watching The Godfather Part II today, and I will admit the beginning was kinda good, and it had a few moments of dopamine release, but Jesus Christ I had to discipline myself in every moment to try and watch it, and by the halfway point I just fucking couldn't anymore.

Why can't people fucking admit The Godfather movies have some fucking AWESOME moments, and the world-building and costumes are fucking fantastic, the settings wonderful, the acting superb, but Jesus Christ Coppola, pick up the fucking pace you monkey piece of shit.

what parts of GF2 were boring? the whole point was to cut back and forth betwen young Don and modern Michael
they even cut out important scenes like explaing why michael was pissed at Tom at the end of the film (he found out tom was cheating on his wife)

>>211515883
>t. monkey piece of shit

>>211515883
zoomer attention span unironically, i watched it when I was 13 and never felt bored

>>211515951

It just felt like the scenes that were soft-speaking and mostly silent, with a few exceptions (extorting Anglo) were generally uninteresting and unengaging to watch. It just felt like there was no strong suspense or any reason to pay attention really closely, and the shots themselves weren't that visually interesting. If you're going to have really still, slow shots with little motion and soft-speaking characters, then there better be some fucking suspense or something to warrant the relatively boring setup.

>>211515883
I watched the 7 hour The Godfather Saga/A Novel For Television cut and even though I obviously couldn't do it in a single sitting I really appreciated the scenes being chronological even though I usually would hate edits like that. I love the Vito scenes in GF2 just as much as the Michael ones but I get kind of pleb filtered by them cutting back and forth between them, I feel like I start getting invested in one era and then it switches to the other and blueballs me.

>>211516129

Also I get the scenes were still important and all to the plot and the dialogue was still necessary, but I'm just not a fan of the film's modus operandi. I think you got it wrong though, I still really appreciate the film and understand why people consider it a masterpiece. It very much is. Read what I wrote in my first post. I don't disagree that's it's a masterfully crafted film, it's just not that enthralling to be entertained by.

>a pussy walks alone into uncertain territory
no, and if he was fat it should have only taken one guy to get rid of him due to being armed with a knife.

>>211515517 (OP)
>fat fuck sticking his tongue into his cheek like a moron
>now that's the great acting that I was telling you about, this is one of the best if not the best movie of all time
Pfft lmao, boomers and retards here who praise everything that critics, film buffs and the Oscar academy like are so pathetic and embarrassing.

>>211515517 (OP)
They left out the history of Luca Brasi
In the film they did not talk about Brasi his past nor did they explane what he already had done

In Italy Luca was the most notorious legendary killer in Italian history he killed cementaries full of people
You could say he was the Italian Richard Kuklinksky and Roy DeMeo combined
In Italy they used to whisper stories about how he'd killed people to their children so they would obey their parents

Thinking back about some of the work Luca did in Italy makes me shit my pants to this day

>>211516681
The godfather movies are fictional, you monkey. None of it is real.

>>211516391
you said its paced poorly, a statement I could only see thinking if I was a young viewer or an overexposed tiktok type zoomer

>>211516831

It's not paced poorly. It's like reading Crime and Punishment (which I've read). It's not bad or overly boring, but the fact that you have sit through 3 hrs 22 mins of it is simply too much.

Again, it's like Jaws. Mind-blowing for the time, but now all you can see is it's influence on movies made after it.

>>211517045
You don't get it. We're all still in film school and have to pretend that it's still good. Not Due to its influence and its importance in the history of film. It is inherently watchable and enjoyable. Today.
It's not a bunch of idiots who can't act and horrific chalk and dust in everyone's hair and face which won an Oscar for for make-up for some reason. It's not boring at all. It's objectively good, because a bunch of pedophiles gave it awards and a bunch of retards who love those pedophiles gave it high review scores. You have to like it. Reddit demands it.

Go back to watching Twitch you fucking twelve-year-old

>>211517331
>>211517403
I know, right? Only geniuses like us like movies. We're so mature and smart because we watched a movie.
And liked it.

>>211517466
I already told you in another thread that I am actually a genius because I like there will be blood and no country for old men. Same here. You lost.

Fucking read you retarded nigger.

It literally was. Just watch people play Minecraft and stop posting

>>211517605

Do you watch Shakespeare's plays in full?

Ever seen a real production of Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice or Othello you brony faggot?

If not, you proved my argument.

>>211517692
No, but I watched a movie and I liked it. Making me a smart old man. This makes you a teenager watching twitch as well.

>>211517692
Yes, I did. And I want a pound of flesh to pay the bond. Pick any of your 300 pounds of flesh

killing people is not difficult, it just requires an absence of humanity. Did you think he was going to be a master of karate and throw fireballs

>>211517924
Watch one and you'll know

>>211515717
I would've listened to what that baby had to say, and that's what Luca didn't do.

>>211517897
Its the lamest way to kill him.
Its like having a evil all-powerful robot that could kill entire populations, and the main character just unplugs it and thats it. we need more Luca scenes

>luca brasi got clipped? oof marone! from who?

>>211515883
Yeah, the movies fucking bloviate and the, "More filler please! xD" types of fags complaining at you just don't have standards.
The movies could have been outright cut in half. Should have been, if Coppola wasn't huffing the smell of his own farts.

>>211515552
His portly size made him extremely intimidating in an era of skinny wops

>>211515517 (OP)

The book was better. Sonny wasn't a good wartime leader, he threw Luca away for nothing.

>Let's send the guy who everyone knows is a simple hitman loyal to the point of stupidity to try and trick the bad guys into thinking he wants to switch sides for literally no reason

Wrong. It was exhilarating throughout the original and the sequel.

>>211515883
Zoomers, ladies and gentlemen.

>>211522597
it fucking proves hes got ADHD attention span too, what retard watches Godfather and thinks "oh boy I'm not getting enough excitement scenes"

>>211515517 (OP)
In the book he cripples the two kids that raped the funerary guy's daughter, I remember it being pretty gruesome.

>>211517045
>jaws
holy shit I just watched Jaws the other day and I thought it was one of the best movies I'd ever seen and I've seen probably 2k. Not once did I think "this is dated" or "this thriller did it better" it was perfectly designed and the triad of the men on the boat was perfect

>>211522048
yeah i won't deny that always seemed odd to me too
>lets convince the other family that our Don's most loyal hitter will want to betray him
shit strategy maybe it made more sense in the book

>>211515883
At least have a legitimate complaint like there was nothing to goon to.

>>211515517 (OP)
The “actor” Lenny Montana was an actual mob enforcer and doorman hired because the mafia was wondering what the whole film about (the crew was also unionized, Teamsters etc so decision was made to keep in their good side). Montana was also an ex pro wrestler so understood theatre and getting lines, but was absolutely typecast. He was also a huge fan of Brando (a lot of the mob were, his whole tough guy casting) and was extremely nervous about his lines. His whole “may you have a masculine child” preparation was him legitimately stumbling trying to learn his lines, and the delivery wasn’t really acting; he was nervous. Brando really buddied up to him, and when they had to do the scene were Luca is strangled, Brando told him about method acting. So Montana asked Brando and Coppola if the actor killing him could really strangle him. That’s what you see…..

>>211515661

The baby had already died but it was his kid.

>>211515883
sounds like you got filtered like a bitch, zoom zoom

>>211515661

What baby? I didn't read the fucking novel!

using this thread to say Godfather Part III gets hated too much. I get it, its nowhere near as good as the first two. But telling the story of Michael living with all the guilt of the shit he has done to make his huge empire is a good story. His emotions are seeping through, he is desperate for some assurance from someone and when he loses the person most important to him the mask slips. Pacino channels god tier acting in it.

Also Vincent is a believable and solid character in the Godfather story.

>>211516589
I praise whatever The Holy Bible likes.

>>211521711
They insist upon themselves

>>211525202
But the problem with Part III is that
>But telling the story of Michael living with all the guilt of the shit he has done to make his huge empire is a good story
This could have easily been added as a short epilogue at the end of Part II. I feel like Coppola, being the pretentious faggot that he is, insisted that whatever closure there was had to be brought through an entire film. It's not BAD, but it's unnecessary and there's not much creative room left for it to be as good.

Part II was depressing when you learn that Tessio was one of the Dons first and best friends and yet still try to have him killed later

>>211525577
Coppola didnt want to make the third film thoughbeit

>>211525577
Paramount was going to make a Part 3 whether Coppola was on board on not.

>>211515883
>a few moments of dopamine release
never post here again broccoli head

>>211515883
I liked it and was never bored. This makes me smart and old.

>>211515661
Iirc he smashed the baby's head with his fist first and then threw the body into a furnace

>>211525202
I like my share of crap and I'm very open minded but I finally watched it and holy hell it is nowhere even close to a godfather movie, it comes off like a cheap 80s thriller toward the end

violent death within organized crime is never pretty or heroic.

>>211529655
no it does neither because I was never bored when I watched it as a middle schooler, you just have to like characters and cinema to not be bored
