But I think the stuff with Michael, in Cuba, it just gets so depressing. And I love the scene at the San Gennaro Festival in the streets of Little Italy, when he’s on the rooftop looking down. I think that Part II has that great prequel, with Vito’s rise and those great scenes of him coming as a kid through Ellis Island, which I love. I think I’m now a Part I person, as I get older, weirdly. What do you think?Įrin: I used to be a Part II person. But I haven’t seen it recently enough to evaluate. I mean, I’ve seen it, of course, several times, but God knows when the last time I saw it was, and I know that there are many people who say that the second one is the best one. Wes: I was worried you’re gonna ask me about Part II. Thanks to Nick Ketter for the audio editing on this episode.Įrin: Wes, where do you fall on the Part I versus Part II supremacy debate.

Within and without the world of the film, can one consider Don Corleone a great man? Or does his moral code, like his favor, always hide a transaction? Wes & Erin give their analysis of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 film, “ The Godfather.” It is not money, but friendship that he asks of Buonasera. As the camera draws back, we see the outline of a face, a hand… Don Corleone holds court at the confluence of loyalty and duress, generosity and calculation, power and fragility. He pleads for the justice that the American legal system denied him. Out of the darkness of the opening frames comes a supplicant- Buonasera the undertaker.
