The scene of the immigrants on the ship standing up and looking at the statue of liberty with all the hope of the world is getting right at my heart. Very very moving.

I think Coppola made this scene also as a tribute to his ancestors.. who migrated from Italy to United States of America.

Scene is so convincing that I feel as if I'm looking at some real life ancestors

[toni]

Loved this transition from Vito to his grandson.

[Mia-dtgl]

I always got the feeling that the “quarantine” was just a means for them to give Vito a temporary place to stay, since he was an unaccompanied child who didn’t speak English.

[DonVal]

One of my favorite scenes in the whole series. True art.

The genius part of the music score is, the climax part has been played exactly when the camera shows the face of the immigrants where you can read hopelessness, fear and unknown future. Many director would have hit the climax when the statue shown but this is seriously a master piece that he emphasize absolutely another point with this amazing music.

My dad said when he was returning on the troop ship from WWII sailing into New York harbor, all his fellow tough combat troops were on deck to see the Statue of Liberty too, crying.

This sequence is just unbelievably good

[francalc]

Very touching scene, the life of a child escaping from death threat in his home land.
Always some people side with oppressor but also is some people who said that is not right and with all risks, help the boy to escape to safe. Under the circumstance joined to thousand of people at that times came to America.

Does anyone realize that he is a stranger and terrified when he sings but later grows to own new york? "CHILLING"

[ajchovanec]

I always liked how brief the Communion scene is, and how abruptly it cuts to the party scene. It helps drive home the point that this day isn't really about Anthony. The true purpose of all this pomp and circumstance is to prop up Michael's image as a loving patriarch and humanitarian, so that Senator Geary will help him push through his casino deal.

Godfather 2 has such an unique touch to it

[stuff]

Oreste Baldini the actor who played Vito as a child only stared in one other movie after this but has a long career dubbing movies in Italian including the Madagascar movies and even Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

[dglaurentino]

My great grandparents from both sides came through ellis island in the early 1900’s from Italy. My grandpa on my dad’s side would always tell us stories that his my great grandpa told him. Ellis island is a very emotional place. That’s where many of our ancestors began their American dream.

The Statue of Liberty had only been there for 15 years at that point.

Of course, 2000 years later, George Taylor will find it damaged and half-buried on the beach.

[danielcarvalho]

This scene really touches your American spirit

[cesarquintanavinau]

One of the best scenes in the history of cinema alongside "Tears in the rain", from Blade Runner

[KCobra]

Between 0:45-0:49 it gave me chills what a powerful symbol that scene represented.

[Emy-fvny]

Poor boy, alone in a strange country. 😢
