What I love about this scene is that it actually goes according to plan. Usually when characters go “here’s what we’re gonna do” and explicitly lay out a plan, it’s a dead giveaway that something’s going to go really wrong. Watching Michael pull it off is still one of the biggest thrills I’ve ever experienced from a movie

[firefightergoggie]

This was filmed 49 years ago. It's still just as shocking a scene now as it was when it was released. Timeless film.

[mandude]

Still to this day you worry the gun isn’t going to be there lol.

[ドーブルX]

I love how the Train Sounds shows us how panicked Michael was in his Head. In the Book, almost everything to Michael at this time was a Blur to him.

[coammaoc]

I love how everyone always talks about this moment like it’s so surprising, when everything basically goes according to plan. Just goes to show how genius this film is.

[paullacey]

I bingewatched the whole 9 hours of Godfather one weekend. The final shot of Michael says it all. All the killing, all that heartache and for what.
Great film.

[suhdongbin]

The last moment before he leaves the bath room, Michael hesitates and take a deep breadth. It was a great attention to details that Michael is going to cross the line where he will never be the same. Great acting by Al Pacino.

Most of the people I've talked to about this scene agree that the first time they saw it it felt like their heart was going to beat out of their chest.

2:22 When you complete a hit and realize that the gun you’re holding has been in a restroom all day.

[gardenshock]

I'll never know what it feels like to watch for the first time, in theaters, back in the 70's.

[beardedbloke]

Let it sink in that this film came out almost 50 years ago and isn't matched to this date - that's what makes it a masterpiece.

[GeorgeFreeman]

Pacinos emotive acting is masterful in this film.. Gets every facial expression right.

[theironshiek]

The shot when he has left the stall and has his head in his hands physcing himself up with the train buzzing in the backround is beautiful

[pradyumn]

"I have frisked a thousand young punks"
- McCluskey's last words on this planet.

[palaceofwisdom]

You can tell this place has great food, the other patrons were so reluctant to leave their tables.

[TrueSake]

Hollywood sure doesn’t make movies like this anymore.

[mikegebert]

Notice that Pacino ever so slightly bumps the camera as he's leaving. That tells you they were shooting in the tight confines of a real Italian restaurant (Old Luna Restaurant in The Bronx).

[Kingwithoutathrone]

1:30 - 1:32 This is such amazing acting. His face tells it all. For some reason, this is my favorite part. And he was completely zoned out, but when Sollozo started talking to him, that "woke" him up.

[Guamparrapo]

Michael was so anxious that he couldn't even hear Sollozzo's final words. However, he accomplished the most important indication: to kill Sollozzo first. The book shows how this was not random. Had Michael killed McCluskey first, Sollozzo could have been fast enough to react (and for sure shoot him with his own gun, which he most probably had). McCluskey was heavy and slow, he couldn't react quickly

[davidpike]

Wonderful acting by all in the film. It hasn't dated at all...a stone, cold classic!
