The Godfather (1972) * FULL LENGTH REACTION
🕑 Added 2025-08-07 15:00:11 +0000 UTCIt's time for the iconic masterpiece!!
I finally know where so many references/quotes come from!! π€£
This was an epic undertaking, and I completely see why it's a masterpiece. It's been like 12h since I've watched it and I've had time to think about it a bit more. I'm not a fan of Al Pacino and his emotionless/expressionless acting for the majority of the film. The point where I start not really caring for his character is when he's in Sicily and falls in love (?) with Apollonia, he seems unaffected by anything afterwards (I know in theory the betrayal by his bodyguard and her death help push him to becoming the new Godfather, but to me, the acting was not there). I know I'll get a lot of flak for that, but that's just like my opinion, man.
Marlon Brando was just fantastic though! Let me just add him to my list of actors to see more of π
I love the story, and the characters, and seeing as it's based on a book, I'm definitely going to be reading the book. I love the idea Michael, the execution in the movie was not for me, so I'm hoping to enjoy the character more in the novel!
I would love to know your thoughts on the movie! What did you like, or not like? Please keep things civil in the comments, I find that iconic movies tend to evoke strong emotions in a lot of people.
For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie. You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again

Still not enough to me if it would feel like I can die at any minute because of it π

It's important when hearing dollar amounts in period films to recognize their value in today's world. $50,000 (the amount Solozzo offered Luca Brasi in 1945) was worth more than twice that in 1972 (when the Godfather was released) and nearly $800,000 in 2025.

There is also a series on Paramount+ called "The Offer" that is about the making of the Godfather. I really enjoyed the series and sheds some light on some of the scenes and characters as well.
