I slept on this scene from The Godfather

[Trajan]

In hindsight it's HEAVY.



Kind of arrogant and pompous for Michael to say ''I've always taken care of you'' to a grown man lmao



Michael: I've always taken care of you, Fredo.
Fredo: Taken care of me? You're my kid brother and you take care of me? Did you ever think about that? Hah? Did you ever once that about that? Send Fredo off to do this! Send Fredo off to do that! Let Fredo take care of some Mickey Mouse nightclub somewhere! Send Fredo to pick somebody up at the airport! I’m your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over!

Michael: That’s the way Pop wanted it.
Fredo: It ain’t the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says…like dumb! I’m smart and I want respect!



Tragic

I still wonder how Vito would have handled his own blood going for him like Fredo indirectly did Michael.

the idiot had the chance to be the face of the Corleone's in nevada but ended up being Moe Greene's butler.

He wore clown ass suits and was fukkin desperate women

Fredo's vulnerability mixed with Vegas/Moe Green's influence turned him into a coke sniffing, whore indulging simp

I haven't seen The Godfather in a while so my memory might be off...but the bit where he's rubbing/massaging Moe Greene and gassing him up while Michael is thinking

Scene used to kill me with all the dikkriding he was doing

edit:




Shameless

They're talking about him like a kid that got out of line

''I got a business to run I gotta kick ass sometimes'' ...so nonchalantly While Fredo massages his back

It's scary how much Fredo resembled Vito facially.

Maybe my favorite scene of the series.

Plus it spawned this

Fredo: Mike you don't talk to a man like Moe Greene like that

Mike: Fredo.....You're my brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides against the family again. Ever


Then it leads to this scene in part 2.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

There was this kid I grew up with; he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me, you know.
We did our first work together, worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it.

During Prohibition, we ran molasses into Canada... made a fortune, your father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him.

Later on he had an idea to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast.

That kid's name was Moe Greene, and the city he invented was Las Vegas.

This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town!
Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order.
When I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Moe, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead, I let it go.

And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen; I didn't ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!

fredo: "me and johnny ola used to come here..."

felt like i was watching it irl

 

[fact]

The whole situation with Mike and Fredo was tragic. You never go against family, just the way it is, and that's not a "gangster" thing, that's a life thing. I had friends that had brothers that would snake them, and I never understood that sh!t. Unconditional love and loyalty is how family should be.
Thinking on it, between Fredo and Manolo, Al had to do coldblooded sh!t twice, and thinking about it, the manolo sh!t was a weird dynamic, still did it for fam, but Gina was kind of like Fredo, to a lesser degree, and he had to kill his best friend over that.

 

[BlaKcMoney]

bout to roll up and catch some pieces of that godfather epic now

 

[re'up]

This is generally considered one of the best scenes of the series......Love the line from the other scene, 'this is the BUSINESS we have chosen....'

The Fredo/Mike scene is among my favorite ever, and def. top 3 in 'Godfather II', if not the best.
