Californ-i-a by way of BK
There racism everywhere, among everyone of every background. But single out one group pf people and just say that they hate us is not accurate. One group of people of people doesnt single out everybody's perspective. And since we are on the topics of race and Italians, Marlon Brando was Italian AND Civil Rights Activist.
We're not talking about the ACTOR himself, I know all about Marlon Brando (And he's not Italian), we're talking about Vito Corleone. And the perception is Italians don't fukk with black folks, (obviously some do) and especially Mafia figures. They have completely different culture that we don't relate to and vice versa.

Its a movie that was trying to be as realstic and historically correct as possible. And I was wrong, Brando was of German, English, Dutch and Irish descent. I never knew that.

As movie-movie I can see why. The epic scale, the writing, the acting, but the pace was just too slow for me. I just didn't give a shyt. Then again I was watching the uncut version so maybe that's why.

The pace is magnificent, it too is what also helps to make the film epic.

I'm Black/ Super nikka, so chill with that White boy shyt. :ufdup:

The Godfather 2 and 1 >>>>>>>>> every other mafia and its not even a question nor is it close :camby:
:stopitslime:You stan overrated movies filled wit Italian CACs that hate black people, typical bytch nikka shyt.

I don't understand how anyone could find godfather boring. These nikkas must have watched the long drawn out opening to godfather 1 and said ":wtf: is this shyt? Thought this was a mob movie."

:heh: nikkas turned it off after the first ten minutes and missed the crack that was the next two hours.
Posts like this are what make it so overrated, stans can't understand how anyone could disagree wit they opinion. Gotta tell yourselves cats ain't really watch it in order to feel better about the fact they wasn't feelin that borin shyt.

their attention spans aint shyt. godfather 1 and 2 isn't as trendy for them :manny:
It is trendy which is why yall muhfukkas like it, its labeled classic and goat so yall go along wit that view cause its popular.

Godfather 2 is my shyt.

The plot is complex though so I can see how action film junkies in their teens/twenties lack the patience to sit through it.
:usure:More lyin to yourselves assumin if someone don't like it they must be kids that only watch Fast and Furious, textbook straw man from smart dumb nikka movie stans.

because Scarface is more "entertaining", shallow, and action movie.

The godfather is deeper, smarter, slower, artsy-iear, and just better overalll movie.

Hiphop don't care about good movies like that
Translation from bullshyt to English - "Scarface is more real Godfather is more pretentious, its some real nikkas in Hip Hop so they ain't fukkin wit that white boy shyt."

But I know I know... 10 minute scenes of nikkas just talkin. God forbid. What no shootout?

Watch that first scene man. Vito lays it down. Boss shyt. Favor for a favor.
Wouldn't be a problem if they was talkin bout somethin interestin, nikkas just didn't care about any of the characters so whatever drama they was goin thru we ain't give a fukk and just wanted to see they borin asses die.

The openin scene in the first film actually held my attention mostly cause of how Brando played the character, he was the only one that had personality and was interestin so I ain't feel like fallin asleep in Godfather 1. Errbody else in them first two films was the same, nikkas looked and acted alike so if one died it was like:manny:

Thats why I like the third film cause it was entertainin, I fukks wit that incest which was a interestin storyline it had better characters and they picked up the pace in that one. Godfather 3 is as underrated as the first two are overrated.

Scarface is a rags to riches story
Vito Corleone started from the bottom too.

The Godfather 1 and 2 are much better movies than Goodfellas. Goodfellas is still great and all but the first two Godfathers are better.
Goodfellas is a far more honest depiction of that life, from the beginnings of a mob soldier to the inevitable outcome that shows just what the consequences for their actions usually are. Godfather is classic, but there is a definite argument to be made that its portrayal was slightly romanticized. Goodfellas is a microcosmic look at the life, while godfather is grander and - as a result - more removed from the seedier origins of the contemporary mob.
