extra stout posted:one of my favorite examples of foreshadowing in film is how around 6:07 sonny is out of focus in the background while his father is about to explain one day he might need a favor from the undertaker Maybe they needed to have one-less swear in the movie to keep from being rated NC-17 by the MPAA In PCU something similar happened where they wanted a PG-13 rating, but the MPAA would only allow one "gently caress" for a PG-13 movie. So a scene where David Spade's character says "open up fuckhead" was changed to "open up sucko" with similar results

The Godfather has some incredible cinematography courtesy of Gordon Willis. He could film a dark room like no one else. Even read that he had footage exposed in the camera so precisely so nobody could gently caress it up later. Goodfellas is really well shot (Michael Ballhaus), too, but the real technical star is Thelma Schoonmaker's editing. Especially the whole "Henry's Bad Day" part.

The worst part about The Godfather was how Season 1 of The Sopranos would often reference it as if it were some sort of studied guide full of insight into This Thing of Ours with embarrassingly terrible dialogue

Shaquin posted:The big pussy subplot may have had a chapter too many Basically Cinderella but instead of the perfect shoe for the perfect foot it's just bumpin uglies. This is a real actual plot point in the novel of the Godfather. There's a dude with a schlong so big his wife "fears the marriage bed like heretics in the Inquisition feared the rack" and there's a woman whose cooter is so cavernous she can't find pleasure with mere mortals. Will they or won't they? Oh, the drama, oh the suspense, oh the humanity! (She eventually gets it tightened up with a simple operation, I don't think we ever found out if Santino got a penis ensmallment though.)

NotWearingPants posted:corleone = lionheart Holy poo poo, I never put this together... Wow. Edit: This is one of my favourite Christmas movies, even though it has little to do with the holiday for anyone but me. My dad showed them all to me one year when he got the VHS box set as a gift, so I watch annually around this time (well, 1 and 2). Part 2 is one of the greatest sequels ever, but really, the book covers all of that stuff already, which definitely helps. It's as if they made another film with the ACTUAL continuation of the plot and characters, rather than rehash everything for sequel's sake, like turning the second movie into a remake of the first

In terms of classic gangster movies, the 1932 Scarface and The Public Enemy are awesome. To 1930s audiences, Scarface was as violent as the remake was to 1980s audiences.

Godfather was on TV last night and I turned it on at a good scene. "Do you renounce Satan? And all his works. And all his pomps?" Although both in the book and in the movie the assassination of the police captain (played by a perfectly cast Sterling Hayden) is the one that sticks out the most in my mind from pretty much all Gangster stories.

Someone gave my dad a Vito Corleone ornament for Christmas. It says different lines from the movie when you press a button. Just a tiny little Marlon Brando forever yelling at me to act like a man

Al Martino, who played Johnny Fonatine, used to live near me, and if I saw him in public and was driving by, I would scream out the window at him "You can act like a man!" He would laugh and was totally cool about it.

He did in the book too, I'm pretty sure he use it to dab his eye while in Sicily but it disappears after he gets back to America. They drop a lot of stuff from the book but make indirect reference to it in the movie.
