I hope you are joking
who on fucking earth would want to see a boring, paranoid di caprio in a godfather film.

Godfather has performances never to be matched or topped again. I'm afraid Di caprio isn't in the level of such great actors like Brando, De Niro or Al Pacino. he's ok, but will never be that good.

hell he's not even one of the best actors around these days.

I'm not joking man. Brando is hardly acting in the movie. He is like just reading the scripts of dialogues to me. Even in the scene that he is killing solozzo and policeman, he is directly telling just "I have to go to the bathroom". In the book that part is very narratively described. Movie is dumb dumb to me.

I hardly see emotions in brando's face. he walks like a robot to bathroom. Watch the acting of Caprio in Departed. Fear, anxiety , hiding fear, everything is very nicely expressed from his face. Brando is just a like a robot to me.

Here how the BOOK goes of that part,
"....................Michael felt that strange delicious chill filling his body. He made his face look distressed. Sollozzo asked sharply, “What is it?”
Michael said with an embarrassed air, “The wine went right to my bladder. I’ve been holding it in. Is it all right if I go to the bathroom?”
Sollozzo was searching his face intently with his dark eyes. He reached over and roughly thrust his hand in Michael’s crotch, under it and around, searching for a weapon. Michael looked offended. McCluskey said curtly, “I frisked him. I’ve frisked thousands of young punks. He’s clean.”
Sollozzo didn’t like it. For no reason at all he didn’t like it. He glanced at the man sitting at a table opposite them and raised his eyebrows toward the door of the bathroom. The man gave a slight nod that he had checked it, that there was nobody inside. Sollozzo said reluctantly, “Don’t take too long.” He had marvelous antenna, he was nervous.
Michael got up and went into the bathroom. The urinal had a pink bar of soap in it secured by a wire net. He went into the booth. He really had to go, his bowels were loose. He did it very quickly, then reached behind the enamel water cabinet until his hand touched the small, blunt-nosed gun fastened with tape. He ripped the gun loose, remembering that Clemenza had said not to worry about leaving prints on the tape. He shoved the gun into his waistband and buttoned his jacket over it. He washed his hands and wet his hair. He wiped his prints off the faucet with his handkerchief. Then he left the toilet.
Sollozzo was sitting directly facing the door of the toilet, his dark eyes blazing with
“The Godfather” By Mario Puzo 128
alertness. Michael gave a smile. “Now I can talk,” he said with a sigh of relief.
Captain McCluskey was eating the plate of veal and spaghetti that had arrived. The man on the far wall had been stiff with attention, now he too relaxed visibly.
Michael sat down again. He remembered Clemenza had told him not to do this, to come out of the toilet and blaze away. But either out of some warning instinct or sheer funk he had not done so. He had felt that if he had made one swift move he would have been cut down. Now he felt safe and he must have been scared because he was glad he was no longer standing on his legs. They had gone weak with trembling.
Sollozzo was leaning toward him. Michael, his belly covered by the table, unbuttoned his jacket and listened intently. He could not understand a word the man was saying. It was literally gibberish to him. His mind was so filled with pounding blood that no word registered. Underneath the table his right hand moved to the gun tucked into his waistband and he drew it free. At that moment the waiter came to take their order and Sollozzo turned his head to speak to the waiter. Michael thrust the table away from him with his left hand and his right hand shoved the gun almost against Sollozzo’s head. The man’s coordination was so acute that he had already begun to fling himself away at Michael’s motion. But Michael, younger, his reflexes sharper, pulled the trigger. The bullet caught Sollozzo squarely between his eye and his ear and when it exited on the other side blasted out a huge gout of blood and skull fragments onto the petrified waiter’s jacket. Instinctively Michael knew that one bullet was enough. Sollozzo had turned his head in that last moment and he had seen the light of life die in the man’s eyes as clearly as a candle goes out.
Only one second had gone by as Michael pivoted to bring the gun to bear on McCluskey. The police captain was staring at Sollozzo with phlegmatic surprise, as if this had nothing to do with him. He did not seem to be aware of his own danger. His veal-covered fork was suspended in his hand and his eyes were just turning on Michael. And the expression on his face, in his eyes, held such confident outrage, as if now he expected Michael to surrender or to run away, that Michael smiled at him as he pulled the trigger. This shot was bad, not mortal. It caught MeCluskey in his thick bull-like throat and he started to choke loudly as if he had swallowed too large a bite of the veal. Then the air seemed to fill with a fine mist of sprayed blood as he coughed it out of his shattered lungs. Very coolly, very deliberately, Michael fired the next shot through the top of his white-haired skull.
“The Godfather” By Mario Puzo 129
The air seemed to be full of pink mist. Michael swung toward the man sitting against the wall. This man had not made a move. He seemed paralyzed. Now he carefully showed his hands on top of the table and looked away. The waiter was staggering back toward the kitchen, an expression of horror on his face, staring at Michael in disbelief. Sollozzo was still in his chair, the side of his body propped up by the table. McCluskey, his heavy body pulling downward, had fallen off his chair onto the floor. Michael let the gun slip out of his hand so that it bound off his body and made no noise. He saw that neither the man against the wall nor the waiter had noticed him dropping the gun. He strode the few steps toward the door and opened it. Sollozzo’s car was parked at the curb still, but there was no sign of the driver. Michael turned left and around the corner. Headlights flashed on and a battered sedan pulled up to him, the door swinging open. He jumped in and the car roared away. He saw that it was Tessio at the wheel, his trim features hard as marble.
“Did you do the job on Sollozzo?” Tessio asked.
For that moment Michael was struck by the idiom Tessio had used. It was always used in a sexual sense, to do the job on a woman meant seducing her. It was curious that Tessio used it now. “Both of them,” Michael said.
“Sure?” Tessio asked.
“I saw their brains,” Michael said...................."
Brando is shit to me comparing to Ld. caprio.

Brando is shit to me comparing to Ld. caprio.

first of all, this is not Brando, this is Al Pacino (one of greatest actors ever to grace the big screen)
and for me (I've seen many great films and performances (not boasting)), his acting in this film and God father 2 is absolutely mind blowing, I've seen both of those films twice each. I love his interpretation of his character, kind of cold, collected and calm on the surface. (something somebody like de caprio will never be able to pull off). and he portrayed his transformation of character really well thru out the series. man, his expressionless face in the second film is an expression of Pure Evil. he says a millions things without even making a face. that's why he's worshipped like a God by many movie goers, I can't begin to name the mindblowing performances he's given in his time.

and I feel really bad for you that you are not able to recognize his genius here, and I can't help but laugh my ass off at your hilarious comparison of him to that cartoon of an actor de caprio. de caprio needs to dance on the screen to convince his audience that he's acting whereas Al pacinos subtle acting here is usually lost by the average film viewer

De caprio just acts the same role in every film he's in...same old paranoid running around. he's really boring, he's not a bad actor, but he needs to stop over-acting and be more convincing in his character. his acting is alright for the films where his character has to be doing something in every minute to keep our attention. but he will never accomplish what Pacino has in his film career.

so please stop disgracing the film scene which many of consider to be a form of art by comparing cartoons like de caprio to Al pacino.

if you need proof, go see dog day afternoon and ask yourself if caprio could ever have done that.

 

[twisted]

and also, for your information, Departed is the remake of an ASian film called infernal affairs which holywood sorta ruined by remaking, and in turns won Oscars. I like Departed, seen it a few times, but it's not even close to the level of the original film. I think it is after departed things really went bad with De caprio, he was acting the same in every other film he was in after that.
and he really went 'bolywood' in Blood diamond, after inception, he's just a cartoon in my books.

you should see infernal affairs sometimes, see how great the asian actors did in that film. departed somehow failed to catch the magic that film had. it was a mind blowing film where departed was just an entertaining film with good dialogues (specially mark wahlberg..guy just cracks me up in that film)

I thought this is the guy you were talking about as Michael is given the prominence of the story. I could stop disgracing but why should I while you keep doing it to caprio. It's funny you talking about subtle actions that's hardly visible in a movie. Then every looser will say just look for subtle actions of them when they fail to show emotions.
Just because many consider, it might not be the best for all.
To me this is a failed movie comparing to book. This is so boring comparing to the taste I enjoyed from the book.

Brando played Vito in Godfather 1 (truly good performance again)
there's a huge thick line between subtle and bad. I assume you are just not familiar with Gangster film genre to understand what's great about this film. so it is safe I suppose for you to stick to Caprio he will dance the character out for you. and he deserves being picked on, coz the guy is seriously a cartoon, he can only play one kind of character. he was sorta good in gangs of new york though, but his character and acting was greatly overshadowed by Daniel Day Lewis who is truly an acting god of our time

and also a friend advice, don't expect what you saw in the book from it's film, cos you are never going to find it there. you interpreted the book differently and the film director interpreted it differently, what we see in the film is the interpretation of the director . there's only a thin chance that it will be same as what you got from the book

 

[twisted]

and also, it is normal for many people to find God Father boring, provided it's old and cinema has changed since then. now a film wouldn't work without fast paced plots and a hot chick on the screen, but before this, even holywood produced REAL films. now, no accounting for good acting or screenplays. only a handful of holywood film makers still try to keep it a form of art.

you should see infernal affairs sometimes, see how great the asian actors did in that film. departed somehow failed to catch the magic that film had. it was a mind blowing film where departed was just an entertaining film with good dialogues (specially mark wahlberg..guy just cracks me up in that film)

So true infernal affairs is one of my fav I have watched it many times still never get bored with it.

and unlike departed, characters had depths in that film Matt damon's character specially, in the original film, his character was really amazing, showed a real conflict between morality and amorality in his character, couldn't figure out whether to sympathize with him or to dislike him. where Matt damons character when killed off, was just a happy moment seriously, Scorsese is one of the better directors but he should have stuck to his crime films.

I've watched lot of gangster movies man. And story of Godfather could be best of all of them. But not the movie of it.
City of God, young and dangerous series are the best of gangster movies to me. Goodfellas movie's first hour is really cool but latter part is kinda boring.
I'm sure you haven't seen a cartoon even at your childhood. You better get to learn what the cartoons are before talking about them.

God father and Goodfellas are probably the best gangster films in the genre there won't even be a City of God without good fellas, anybody can clearly see the good fellas influence on city of god (city of god is one hell of a film though), it's very stylish and modern, the camera work, narrative style, pace it holds your attention.

well, I couldn't think of a real life scenario that matches the level of exaggeration de caprio's acting reaches other than cartoons guys a freaking cartoon for teenagers I'm telling you. his next film's acting will be exactly like his same old shit.
