The Godfather (1 Viewer)

[7 - No tomorrow]

I've only seen the film once or twice, what does this signify?

It's the scene where Michael tells Fredo to never take sides against the family.
Fredo's loyalties are confused at this point.
The movie dresses him like the hired help.

Michael is dressed for a funeral

Never take sides against the family is bad advice?

Depends on if the family are pricks really.

ah i see. I am terrible at 'getting' things in films. Like, films have the desired effect but I am incapable of analyzing them. I'm kind of cool with that, I analyse enough other stuff as it is.

The Conversation > The Godfather.

With respect, this is something that a chinstroker in Shoreditch would say

The Conversation is about one thing. The Godfather is about everything.

Bernie should discuss the conversation over lucky charms with chocolate milk in that new cereal cafe?

Actually, one thing I love about the 70's classics is the air of claustrophobia that they create, stuff like The Conversation and Dog Day Afternoon certainly have it. The Godfather, great in it's own right, doesn't share that mood.

I just can't get me no satisfaction, you know?

The French Connection has it too. Also better than The Godfather, imo

Shoreditch is full of bankers and TOWIE Heads these days.

The Godfather is not a 70s film

It is an eternal one

I saw The Godfather for the first time about 5 years ago.
I think it must be one of those ones that you can miss the boat on, because it left me kinda cold. That said I've never been a particular mafia movie fan (although The Sopranos is my favourite TV Show - well, it kind of broke the genre rather than just conform to it).

I feel the same about The Exorcist.
