The Godfather

[Hobbit XIII]

A good film.

Who do you think most fits Marlon Brando's Vito Corleone 'The Godfather' character?

I'll put my opinion down later, don't want to influence any answers right now.
That is which criminal not which actor.

Because that is the point of the topic, which real gangster fits the fictional Vito Corleone the most.

And Tony Montana is a very poor comparison, it reminds me of the scene in Billy Madison where he tries to describe the Industrial revolution.

so pablo escobar, he was nice with poor people and was to corrupt government

Well that movie took it's graces from all those guys from back then. In fact to make the movie, they needed to the go ahead from Joe Columbo. In fact i think they made a series about that.

So i think they took instances from different families, and put into one.

The Frank Sinatra situation (Johnny Fontaine). The Bugsy Siegel situation (Moe Greene). The Meyer Lansky situation (Hyman Roth), it goes on.

You're talking to an Italian American from Brooklyn, Hobbit. We tend to know our stuff lol.

And your talking to a guy whose studied American business practices of the 20th century for past 25 years and see Hoffa as a better American than Kennedy.
Guess which one fought for workers rights?

-don't get me started.

Well you're asking about the movie, and these gangsters, in this Brando, and who best represents them.

I just told you, they took his character from stories of many others in those days. And those events.

thank to show video about yourself, but not interest to know your own life

The godfather and godfather 2 won 8 Oscars between the two of them and is one of the only film sequel's to ever do so!..

A remake today would be no good and just ruin the franchise

Yep, trust me man, this neighborhood back in the day, you grew up to be a Cop, or a Capo lol. I chose the former, and i knew some of those of those guys back then.

Not the older Gambino types, but did know guys in the Gotti crew, and in fact, one of my posts, was in front of the Ravenite, in uniform, being the Mayor wanted to show his colors.

They apparently were selling fireworks out the place on the 4th of July. Deccico actually sent me out a plate of barbecue, dogs, sausages, burgers. Couldn't take it though. That whole area was on camera lol.

I thought the book was pretty accurate on how people are culturally, like Hollywood and the doctors and how the public reacts to the police and so on.

A spoiler on its reaction to the police for one policeman A policeman always carried his torch as a weapon over his truncheon and pistol.
He arrested some Pimp who beat up on one of the women and the pimp still got out.
The pimp shortly after beat her up again did a real mean job.
The policeman had taken pride he had never needed to shoot anybody and his torch had always been good enough for a good smack.
He beat that pimp up something serious.
The policeman got pulled up for it and the people of the neighbourhood just turned on the policeman in statements and he lost his job.
He then went to work for the Mob and all you see in the film is him being the copper who carries out the hit not any of his back story.
Just reminded me how some people en masse react .

I'd say the movie "Goodfellas' was probably the most realistic, being it was about guys on the street, as compared to the hierarchy that the Godfather was about.

I'd agree, the Godfather was stylised in my humble opinion.

Still waiting to see if anybody is going to name who I had in mind for Vito.

adding that scene with Joe Pesci and 'funny' in Goodfellas ♥♥♥♥ that could happen in any pub in England back in the 90s when I was around.

It's a tough one, being he's a fixture of Coppolas imagination. You never really saw him outside of his circle, or even house. As a youngster on the Godfather 2, he was just a hoodlum more or less.

I'll put it in spoilers my thought in its simplest mode Frank Costello .

No lol. Look into him. Too boisterous for the meek Don Corleone.
