One of the most captivating moments in movie history.
-I heard crying, saw a lot of cars coming to the house
-I was abiut to come and wake you
-But you needed a drink first. Now you had your drink
-They shot Sunny on the causeway. He's dead
Still gives me chills. Pivotal moment. What does Vito do?!?!
'I want to schedule a meeting with the heads of the 5 families. I want no inquiries made. No acts of vengeance. This war stops now.'
WHAT!?!?! Speak on it.

Naw, he moved like a BOSS, instead of letting his emotions get the best of him.
You gotta think.. a man in that position, his natural reaction would be revenge, which would have likely been the easiest course of action seeing that he was just lined up and his son was murdered.
Vito understood the move against him and his son was just business. Remember Vito made a move and killed Don Fanucci, so Vito understood the rules and how the game was played. -

I just saw part3 a few weeks ago. What a ? .

Maybe old age? Karma? For his past deeds caught up with him?
Anyway Mike (Pacino) revenged on behalf of the family ... . -
It's his job as the Boss and leader of the Family to make executive decisions and he made a pretty solid decision.
-Someone tried to ? him
-Someone successfully killed Sonny (his intended heir)
All he had left was Fredo (who is incompetent) and Michael (who everyone thought was a cupcake), so he made the decision to back away while he still has power instead of going to war, risk getting himself killed and not having a backup plan.
Notice that after the decision is when Vito starts tutoring Michael in the ways of family business? Michael wasn't supposed to be involved at all with that, he was protected from it and he needed a crash course in waging war and handling mob work before he could take over. -

Til this day I still haven't came watched part 3

Michael got revenge for the family. It was planned from the beginning. At the time,The Tattaglia family was thought to have been involved, as it was logically revenge for Bruno Tattaglia. The Don had to call a peace cause that war wasn't ending anytime soon without it. It was at that meeting when Don found out it was Barzini all along. That's when Michael's revenge plan came into fruition.

He knew he was guna hit them the way they did. He called for peace at the time so he could bring mike back to the u.s. With no harm. He also held the meet so he would kno who betrayed him. So the prace was a front just to give them time.

Peace*

That's the one thing I don't understand. How did he figure out that it was Barzini? I'm gonna need to read the book. -
He made peace to bring Michael home since it was still a bounty on Mike's head. When Mike got home Vito taught him the game something he couldn't teach Fredo since he was stupid.

Mike's first wife Apollonia>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kay.

yo after his wife got blown up on some wild e. coyote ?
that ? turned ice cold
I mean the attempt on his father, then killing solozzo, fleeing to Italy, then hearing about his brother Sonny getting killed and as he tries to leave his bodyguard betrays him and plants that bomb in his car and blows up his wife
(who looked far better than Kay, and on top of that, if he brought Apollonia back to the states with him, she would have understood the ways of the business his family was in and wouldn't have started acting all funny and ? like Kay did)
(in the book they ? the bodyguard turned traitor)
When Mike came back he had no love for no one except the fam -

As the Don himself puts it: "Tataglia's a ? . He could never have outfought Santino". Obviously the Don had little respect for Tataglia's abilities as a war time Don. It's also obvious that it was a thought that had bothered him for quite some time.
During the meeting, it was obvious that Don Barzini took a very keen interest in the peace negotiations. In fact, he took almost complete reins of negotiating with the Corleones for a settlement. None of the other families seemed bothered by this. These facts indicate that the other families had already agreed on giving Barzini the lead role.
Now given how weak Tataglia was, and how strong Barzini was, it's not far fetched to deduce who was the master and who was the puppet. -
Just reminded me how GOAT this movie is. After all this time it still holds up like it could've came out yesterday

Un-putdownable.
Read it in the late nineties in my late teens (15-16)
The film just about did justice to the book but of course couldn't cover the entirety of it
I also learned of the term 'omerta' from that book. ..
@Cain I suggest you read the book before watching the films (I'm surprised you haven't seen the films). Both part 1 and 2 are cinematic masterpieces .. -
Great book and great movie.

I always wondered if the guys that followed Sonny, and then had to tell Vito Sonny got murked, ended up getting killed themselves. The setup was so cold, it's very possible Vito could've thought they was in on it.

Yeah its a great read..though its very simply written, I was expecting some sort of literary masterpiece due to the high esteem the films are held in..but yeah regardless, completely engrossing for sure and I appreciated the films even more after reading
