THE GODFATHER | 'Don Vito and Michael Corleone' Clip | Paramount Movies

No movie changed Hollywood more than THE GODFATHER. From the bestselling novel by Mario Puzo to box-office blockbuster, its influential legacy endures to this day. Starring Marlon Brando in his Oscar®-winning performance as the patriarch of the Corleone family, this first installment in the three-movie saga paints a dramatic portrait of the Sicilian clan’s rise and near fall from power in America. Balanced between the Corleone’s commitment to family and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged, it features career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, Diane Keaton and Robert Duvall. This searing and brilliant masterpiece garnered ten Academy Award® nominations, and won three, including Best Picture.

Featuring: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, John Cazale, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Sterling Hayden, Richard Conte, Talia Shire, Al Lettieri

THE GODFATHER | "Don Vito and Michael Corleone" Clip | Paramount Movies

Don Vito Corleone has more lines in this clip.... "I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life, I don't apologize, to take care of my family. And I refused -- to be a fool -- dancing on the string, held by all those -- bigshots. I don't apologize -- that's my life -- but I thought that -- that when it was your time -- that -- that you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator - Corleone. Governor - Corleone, or something... "

2:00 The look on Vito’s face says it all. He knows Michael can handle it. He’s always known Michael could handle it. He just never wanted him to have to.

Favourite scene from the movie, we see a father and son moment, beautifully scripted and of-course very well acted by Pacino & Brando. Two of the GREATEST ACTORS, EVER.

[DavisSchulz]

for me one of the best acting scenes ever. so natural, perfectly done.

[Foldy]

Fredo was weak, Sonny was quick tempered...Michael was smart and ruthless, not because he liked to be...because he had to be.

[marchellokelly]

"Women and Children can be careless, but not men"- Don Vito Corleone

[gautham]

"Women and children can be careless but not men " such an iconic line

[jesustovar]

This scene sums up The Godfather very well, we see the most important characters, Vito and Michael, father and son, both talking about rasing family and the menaces that were about to come, Vito says what he though about his sons and his life and that how he dosen't regret it because he never wanted to dance on the strings on powerful people (maybe a reference on The Godfather's logo, the puppeteer's hand) in the end he wanted Michael to have a responsible life being a kind of dipolmatic and mostly to be respected but Michael gave his soul and respect to his father so much that he maybe wanted to be like him, but in the end he couldn't because he knew how to maintain power and wealth, but not the most important thing, which was the family.

Each and every frame is beautiful. The colors, composition, that bicycle in the background, lighting. Makes me wanna watch the movie again.

[juanoteo]

As simple as it is, it's one the best scenes in history

[ameennasar]

"I never wanted this for you"
Well, no parent want this for their children

[sdvsraw]

Such a simple scene yet so masterful! RIP Marlon Brando

[Mokkari]

Coppola realized he didn't have a scene where Vito and Michael talk, just father and son so he asked Robert Towne to write one

[mmnnpp]

Every word that came out from his mouth is just a pure wisdom
What a legendary don

[Howlingburd]

Michael has one of the best character arcs ever in my opinion. He seems like among the very last people in the Corleone family to succeed Vito, but of course due to some of the best character development in cinema history, his transformation is absolutely believable! Michael would end up being far colder than his father, and that’s why Michael was more feared, but less respected.

[arkangelarkangel]

There's a deep pain in Vito, that he's placing on Michael, that only a father can see.. beautiful scene.

[DSCKottawa]

The montage at the end gave me chills, showed how he turned from a naive young gentleman to the cold Mafia don.

[davidsandz]

This is acting of the highest quality...should be studied in drama schools...when Vito just after "the funny papers" he, very briefly, goes into himself...mbe back to himself reading the funny papers or his kids reading them...a sublime moment in a sublime scene in a sublimely acted film...it also give the lie to Brando's oft repeated disdain for acting...someone who is supposed to be disdainful about acting doesn't bother to go that far...that brief moment isn't in the script!...but it shows an actor totally 'in the moment'...and both actors are at the top of their brilliant and a joy to watch.

[CYP]

Not only was he a great, powerful and charismatic Don, Vito was also a brilliant mentor, advisor (consigliere) and father to his son who became a very different type of Don.

[kingsurya]

I feel sad, we don't see such type of movie today
