Companion saying - "Never tell anyone outside the family what you're thinking." After Sonny showed a lack of self control and tried to butt in between Don Vito and Solozzo and express disdain and a lack of trust in the Tattaglia family. Why the lack of control by Sonny?

What I love about Don Vito is that he also used his defeat as strategic tactic in this meeting to subtly get more info on who made the plan to go to war with Corleone’s. The moment Brazini spoke out of turn to reinforce an egotistical and dominant point that the Mob had the right demand and take what they want was the very moment when Vito realized that it was him the whole time. Genius and pure Machiavelianism!

@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 It also reveals Stracci's involvement. Out of all of them, the one boss Barzini called on sounded sympathetic to Vito, but he proposed the compromise which was clearly Barzini's plan all along. That means that Stracci and his family were working with or for Barzini. I'm sure Barzini realized that Vito would figure things out eventually, and if so, the hidden message was that at least three of the five families were united against the Corleones and they couldn't win a war. Vito calling this meeting was clever. Getting all the bosses into one room meant he had a chance to smoke out the real mastermind and discover who Barzini's allies were. Also, in front of so many powerful dons, it would incredibly tempting for the mastermind to reveal his cards and show off his victory and position of power in front of his peers. Maybe for bargaining leverage, or maybe just out of ego. Barzini couldn't resist and so was unmasked.

Not only do I agree with you I also see Tattaglia throw a number of frustrated glances at Brazini, especially when Brazini throws cold water on his attempt to get assurances. “You can almost see him say, you’re getting what you wanted while I was the only one who put his ass on the line.” I think he was genuinely grateful to Corleone for giving him the assurance. He had to have been frustrated that Brazini and the other families had tried to keep their hands clean when they all wanted to open up the drug trade. In a way Tattaglia was much a victim of a Brazini and his machinations as Vito.

The drug war has no moral or legal basis. It’s just another way for the government to produce crime. Here’s a hint: it’s illegal but there’s heroin in your neighborhood anyway. In fact, there’s more heroin in your neighborhood and the heroin is more dangerous because of it.

The gesture he does to Tom at 1:18 is one of the subtle yet mysterious things I love about this movie. It could be a sign of ''thank you'' for the water, OR it could be ''stop serving now, I'm talking!''. The mystery surrounding this man's thoughts and actions, is so fascinating.

[Spolier Alert! Plot points revealed] Yes, Vito actually does keep his word. Remember, the chronology of scenes is not the chronology of what the characters know. For dramatic purposes, the scene where Apollonia dies comes before this scene of the meeting of the five families. Yet, while we see the murder attempt on Michael first, it actually would have come after the five families meeting. Remember, Michael does not find out about Sonny's death right away, only until some time later. Michael, while still in Sicily, is informed, "Brutta notizia da America" {Bad news from America} and is informed of Sonny's murder. Then, in the following scence there is an attempt on Michael's life which accidentally kills Apollonia. But by the time Michael learns of Sonny's death, Vito has already called for a meeting of the five families. Vito calls for this meeting immediately after Tom Hagen informs him that Sonny is dead. So, Vito has the meeting with the families first and only after the meeting is there an attempt on Michael's life. Vito learns of Sonny's murder right away and calls the meeting. Michael only learns of Sonny's murder some time later. This is not the strict chronology of the sequences of the film but it is in keeping with the chronology of what the characters know: Michael and Vito are acting out in parallel time. So, because the families were warned not to attempt to kill Michael and there was an attempt on Michael's life, this was something Vito warned the heads of the five families not to do or he would "blame some of the people in this room and that I do not forgive". It doesn't happen sequentially -- we see the murder attempt first but by then the five families meeting would have already taken place. Director Coppola liked to play with time and did so to great effect later in "The Godfather Part II".

Vito Corleone had plans all along. He was going to get revenge on those responsible for Sonny's life and to save Michael's life. This is why he became Michael's advisor. The other heads of the families we're not thinkers not strategizes not critical thinkers not capable of thinking with the Godfather is thinking. Vito Corleone avenged the death of his family his father his mother his brother. It was years in the making but he did it.

For the people who ask how Vito found out it was Barzini: Because this supposed to be a peace meeting between Corleone and Tattaglia, all the other parties were there to maintain this peace. However as Tattaglia started talking about "politicians and judges that Corleone keeps in his pockets," we see Barzini backing his statement, saying if they are friends they should share. So almost everybody in the room want Vito's politicians and judges to push their drugs easily. Vito knows once he uses his influence for a dirty business as drugs, there is no going back, his reputation would get ruined. But for profit, Barzini and Tattaglia don't give a shit, they want to exploit Vito's influence. So now on Barzini's insisting for this 'co-operation' on drug business, Vito knows it wasn't only Tattaglia or Solozzo demanding his support for drugs, Don Barzini was the mastermind behind this demand.

In this meeting there’s a lot of things that we can all take from Don Corleone as a boss. 1) Listen before talking 2) Don’t trust anyone sitting at the table 3) Make peace before revenge 4) Know who you’re dealing but identify the source of the problem Don Corleone did all of this and just one scene he did not trust anybody in the commission, he listened to what the commission wanted from him, he knew who was the source of the problem. and the only way to truly have peace was to make peace and then take revenge later.

As a concerned father he is basically asking them not to try anything but does this without really “asking” obviously. Finally, notice how he throws a very subtle hint at barzini at 5:25 when he says, and I’m going to blame some of the people in this room. He so clearly turns towards barzini when he says that letting him know that he knows he was behind santinos assassination. the writing but most of all the acting are ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY!!!!

It's obvious That Vito has MUCH more humanity in him than Michael does. Both are ruthless but Vito still has old time class. He knows the Drug business is taking things at another level he has no desire to enter. Vito has more character and conscience than any of the others at the table and for sure more than his son Michael. The problem is, Times, were changing and Vito was falling behind. No one cared about integrity anymore. It was all about making a buck and improving the business..no matter how it was to be done. Vito truly wanted peace among the families if possible, but it was never going to happen. Michael fit in with the modern mafia mentality. Vito was the type of man that one could approach and he would listen to reason. Michael was just a monster who didn't give shit what was said to him. It was his way or no way.

richard riccio Michael was doing what he thought would protect his family and to continue the family business. That's why in part two, you could see Vito having an easier time than Michael. Vito was more smooth.

also there is an implication in the story that if apollonia hadnt been killed, michael would had never become as heartless as he turned out, which would have made him a sucessor worthy of vito

Don Corleone was always a step ahead. A brilliant Don! The way he draws out Barzini is brilliant. Dang I love his three piece as well. Really sharp!

For those who don't know how Vito knew - he realized during the meeting that 1. Barzini was saying the SAME THINGS Sollozzo said and only a Don can pass a message like that. Not some Two Bit Thug like Sollozzo - so that's where he was getting his ideas from and 2. Tagalia NEVER once spoke directly to Don Corleone. He spoke through and to Barzini - hiding behind him like some child. THAT'S how Don Corleone knew it was Barzini all along. You're welcome

I was thinking the same thing. Tataglia looks so weak in this scene. He's slouched, avoids looking at Vito. Only looks and talk to Brazini.

Barzini took the role of mediator in the scene , its why Vito thanked him for helping set up the meeting so he was expected to lead the meeting. He knew it was Barzini because Barzini started dictating terms and taking sides: "A refusal is not the act of a friend..." , A statement to bully Vito into falling in line, and also he knew Barzini had the influence and brains to run a scheme like that. "Barzini is a man who knows these things without being told."

Try and watch 'The Conspiracy' starring Kenneth Branagh. The whole movie is a long meeting about Nazis discussing the plans for the Jewish genocide. Absolutely scary in the matter of fact way they went about discussing the ways to wipe them all out as if they were not humans but a pest infestation. Good performances by Branagh and Stanley Tucci. And one of the earliest 'blink and you miss it' appearance of a very young Tom Hiddleston.

It’s amazing how much respect Vito commands, or how they were all jealous of him because he’s was better than them by keeping all the politicians in his pockets when the others couldn’t
