The one thing ALL Godfather fans agree on, is that we needed more of Vito Corleone, his character was fascinating and full of depth and complexity. He was played brilliantly by Marlon Brando and Robert DeNiro, 2 iconic actors. Yes in Godfather 2, we did get to experience watching a small sample of his rise, however, they didn’t give us the full picture of how he actually managed to rise to power. That’s why in this series of videos we are trying to bring you the spectacular details and events that made Vito who he was, the powerful, charismatic, intelligent mafia Don that managed to be both feared and loved. We analysed every available detail that the creator of this impeccable world, Mario Puzo, has provided through his novels and some hidden facts from the iconic films.

In Part 2, we will be analysing the following events:
- How and why he created Genco Pura Olive Oil Company 🏬
- His Real intentions to go back to Sicily 🇮🇹🍊
- The astonishing events surrounding the Pacification of New York 🗽
- How he envisioned and actually created the Commission 🖋

By the end of this video, you will have a much better understanding of how Vito became the Godfather.

Vito Andolini of Corleone Sicily, later revered as Don Vito Corleone is perhaps the most notorious mafia character in history, Not only was he respected in the world of the Godfather films, but he also inspired and was imitated by real life mobsters, forever cementing his character as what every gangster aspires of become. He was wise, smart and powerful, with a unique skill in dealing with people.

At the height of his power, Vito controlled the New York underworld, making him one of the most powerful and influential individuals in New York, and his influence spread all across the United States and even all around the world. Vito possessed both street smarts as well as a high level of intelligence and wisdom that he garnered through his difficult upbringing. He also understood people, he was very perceptive and strategic, always knowing how to handle them in a way he would always benefit, with or without them knowing. He always saw through their attempts to manipulate or play him a turn it against them. But he Did not do it in an arrogant manner, where people ended up disliking him, rather he aligned himself as an equal ally that can rely on.

But how did he really become as powerful as we see him in the film? And that’s what we will be exploring in this video. We will go through how an orphan become one of the most powerful men in the criminal underworld and built an empire reaching the highest levels of wealth, power and respect. We will analyse all the events including the ones not shown in the film, that led to this transformation.

What Brando can do with a character is amazing. When he was sharing screen time my eyes were always on him.

[gusbuckingham]

"Do not mistake my kindness as weakness." - Capone.

Seems the Don had taken that to heart.

[ryanschultz]

I always wanted more of the young(Robert Deniro) Vito Corleone!

[carloflorez]

I read the Book. It was a very detailed explanation of who exactly Don Vito Corleone was. The Book was so much better than the Movie. Most wont take the time to read it. Books are the real story...

[alpercengiz]

There is one thing that I observed in many films: Where ever you go your past follows you

[nagone]

The audiobook to The Godfather is right here on YT for free. I read the book many years ago, but I listened to the audiobook here recently, damn good listening for sure. The story of the don was more flushed out and....the pure horror of Luca Brazi was on some next level shyt.

[josephmarquis]

I'm supposed to wake up early to go to work, but I'm watching this . I'll be there in time

[carlstawicki]

I really hope they make a movie from The Family Corleone (The Godfather prequel). The Luca Brasi storyline alone would make it worth it.

[alifayad]

I wish netflix makes a series of Don carleone rise. That would be a blast.

[andyw]

I always thought Sonny's story was glossed over too much in the movie plus Luca Brasi's character was way more deep and dark than the movie showed. There are certainly enough stories for several movies but that'll never happen.

[darkemperor]

I like how Vito isn’t just someone who is giving orders to kill and that he would gladly do it himself with no hesitation.

[mikecotto]

Tomassino was not paralyzed. He was shot in the leg by a shotgun that damaged his leg so badly that he would walk with a cane until he reached old age where he was too weak to walk with a cane and was moved around in a wheelchair. You can see Tomassino walking with a cane in the first Godfather movie.

[octavioaraujo]

I finally read the book last year; best modern literature.

[davidespinoza]

Awesome video.
Very nice work. Excellent!!!

[sterlingjones]

Good video. Can't wait for part III. 😀

[amberturd]

I love seeing the movie first. That way when you go read the book it's like getting a ton of extra info and details that aren't possible to include in film

[luismarrero]

I love 😘 the three movies 😍❤️ and I read the books and I also read and love the book, The Olive Oil War. This one has to be made into a movie before I go to the spirit world ❤️... GOD bless 🙏🥰 Mr Puzo.

[huetv]

I loved this trilogy so much I always excused Sonny's non connected punch

[thomasseery]

Another very interesting video. Broadening the story of The Godfather very well .

[zakaria]

I just discovered your channel, man so much great stuff and the quality is just superb. Can’t wait for part 3
