How do you wake UP every day? He's just overthinking it. OP Pacino has been the good boy whose kept his nose outta the business, then when stuff is getting tight and tense he gets emotionally involved, and before long has been seduced into the thing and turns out to actually be the most natural for that life even more than his brothers. So he goes from good boy to competent natural bad boy. And it's a cool character arc to watch. And yes Kay is an airheaded naive WASP of some sort.

Brando was totally slumming it in Superman but still loving killed it. That's how good he is.

I'm really frustrated that the actor who played Clemenza went all prima donna after the success of the first film and demanded a bunch of poo poo when they went to make Part II, so they wrote out his character.

Kinda, they kept his character in every way but literally. The Frank Pentangeli character is what Clamenza would have been doing, but because they couldn't get the actor without the drama issue, they wrote Clamenza as dying, and just had the new character/actor do all the stuff Clamenza was supposed to do. Which yeah is a shame, because all of that part would be way more emotionally involving if it had been Clamenza.

Tom wants to do all he can to keep the peace as it impacts their business. While they argue Michael formulates a plan that lets them have their cake and eat it too. Those movies are long but so well edited, paced, and plotted, there's nothing you can remove because it's all important.

The Frank Pentangeli character is what Clamenza would have been doing, but because they couldn't get the actor without the drama issue, they wrote Clamenza as dying, and just had the new character/actor do all the stuff Clamenza was supposed to do. quote:Castellano did not reprise his role as Clemenza in The Godfather Part II (1974). He was reportedly excluded because Castellano and his agent insisted on having control over the character's dialogue. Director Francis Ford Coppola said that this was untenable, and wrote Castellano out of the movie.[3] This account was disputed by Castellano's widow in a 1991 letter to People magazine.[6] Castellano said he did not have a part in the sequel because he did not believe that the character of Clemenza would become a traitor. He had other disagreements with Coppola, including confusion over how much weight he was expected to lose for the role. I actually agree with him. I cannot imagine Clemenza betraying Michael the way that Frank Pentangeli did.

AstroWhale posted:A shame that the Fredo fucks a lot in Vegas sideplot from the book is not in the movie. They briefly mention it in the movie, as I recall, when Michael moves in on casino territory. John Cazale's delivery of "I'm gonna be in the casino business!" will never not be great. The parallels between him and Buster Bluth are fantastic. Grape posted:He's just overthinking it. I mean, it was pretty natural for Michael to turn like that, given he was a soldier during wartime. Except instead of doing things because his country asked, he did them because his family asked. Unfortunately, peace is harder to achieve in the mob world without being the one on top, so he had to keep going. Kay's a textbook mangia-cake.

How do you wake UP every day? Pacino's performance is pretty stoic, there were a few possible interpretations, I like to keep an open mind, and I'm even getting different takes from this very thread, OK? So how 'bout you gimme a GOD DAMNED BREAK Capeesh, paison? Well do you understand?

Hooooly cow is Godfather II like the epitome of 70s excess where cokehead studio execs went ahead and let auteur directors just go wild with their prestige pics hoping to nab some of that sweet, sweet prestige and credibility dollars. Like suddenly The Godfather is now a 220 minute (it has an intermission(!!)) history-spanning globe-trotting epic and it's like every other scene takes place during an extravagant celebration with hundreds of extras because they gave Francis Ford Coppola a truckload of money to burn. It's like if they edited in all the key scenes from Episodes I, II, III (with Robert Deniro playing Anakin Skywalker) throughout The Empire Strikes Back, that's how ridiculously huge Godfather Part Two is. Now before you all get on my case about sacrilege or whatever I do think this is a masterfully crafted movie but drat you can see how this flick inspired self-indulgent messes like Heaven's Gate and Star Trek: The Motion Picture and eventually killed the whole 70s era of gritty dramas dead.
