The Godfather Book Series Explanation in 1 minute

[melis-writes]

hi, melis! 💓 idk if you’ve already answered this but can you rate the godfather characters from your favourite to least favourite? i’m curious!!

Hello!! 🤗💕 Ooooooooh my gawd, okay. OKAY. In order from my favourite to least favourite, it would be:

Michael Corleone. But is anyone surprised? 🤭❤️‍🔥 Believe me, his looks aren't the major reason why either (but the sexiness helps smh). 😅 The most cunning, crude, intelligent and interesting character with a hell of a development... He really does have my heart.

2. Kay Adams Corleone. The one and only of course!! 💕 I especially say this towards her character in the book rather than the film. She's much more fleshed out, interesting, supportive and by Michael's side. She makes for such a unique character!!

3. Santino Corleone. That's right, him. 😅❤️ Sonny honestly keeps things very interesting thanks to his infamous temper. He was a hell of an enforcer; Luca Brasi who?? Tbh I was and still am extremely distraught by his death scene. 💔💔

4. Vito Corleone. Don Corleone himself!! What's honestly not to love? His kindness, how wise he is, how he's taken care of his family. This man came from nothing but gained everything. ❤️❤️❤️

5. Fredo Corleone. I honestly think Fredo's an absolute sweetheart and I love his sense of humour, even though wasn't a whole lot shown. He has a good nature and I think he was really misunderstood. 🥺💕

6. Tom Hagen. Love, love, love my boy Tom. 😂❤️ He's the moral compass of the family!! Or.. at least he was until I found out he had a mistress. Still, there's just something from Tom and his wholesomeness and advice that makes you never want to lose faith in him.

7. Connie Corleone. Truly a misunderstood and underrated character. 🥺❤️ I have nothing but love for Connie and I wish we had seen even more of her. She deserved better and I honestly loved her disaster MILF era lmfao. 💀

8. Sandra Corleone + Mama Corleone + Deanna Dunn. I'm grouping both of these ladies together because they're sadly very minimal side characters but from everything I've seen of them, they're still so dear in my heart which is also why I include them in my fics!! 😌❤️

9. Peter Clemenza. Clemenza is actually wholesome and not a traitor unlike Tessio who isn't even worth a damn mention here. 💀 Supported the Corleone's till the very end and didn't undermine Michael ever either.

10. Carlo Rizzi. Eugh... Bleugh.. We've gotten to the least favourite characters section now without a doubt. I hate Carlo. I don't like him at all whatsoever. He's an abusive, disgusting piece of shit and I really wish Sonny would have killed him or that we'd at least get more scenes of Sonny beating the shit out of him. 😮‍💨

11. Hyman Roth. While he did keep things interesting and was cunning on his own in the second film, I don't like him. 💀 He's not likeable. Tf did Michael ever do to him?? 😅

12. Apollonia Vitelli. Yep, she's the last on my list. 😂😂😂 She's by far my very least favourite character. She's hardly a character. Very shallowly fleshed out, boring, uninteractive, and taking advantage of what Michael has to offer. She never loved that man, she loved his car for sure and the freedoms he gave her. Also, she's super fucking annoying and whiny. 💀

Random thoughts after finally watching The Godfather Part 2.

I finally watched part 2 last week and I really enjoyed it but ultimately I prefer the first movie. That isn't to say that I didn't love it but as a whole I feel that the first part works better for me but that 2 has so many of my favourite moments from the movies.

The casting was impeccable again and I don't think there was a single actor who felt wrong for their role but I prefer the villains in the first movie. I find Sollozzo for example, more interesting and enjoyable than Hyman Roth and Johnny Ola. That's no reflection on the actors, just a personal preference.

The scenes with young Vito were beautifully done and I love how close to the book they were. Robert de Niro was perfect in the role as were young Genco/Tessio and Clemenza. I also really enjoyed the very old school Fanucci as a villain. Overall though as much as I enjoyed them and I'm glad they were included and it was important that they were, but if I had my choice, I'd rather spend more time with the remaining Corleone siblings.

What a loss to cinema John Cazale was. He was truly incredible here and had some of the most powerful scenes.

Al Pacino was brilliant again. My favourite scene of his was when he overhears Fredo saying that he knows Johnny Ola.

Robert Duvall was excellent again. He has great chemistry with Pacino and was never less than utterly convincing as an aging and battle weary Tom who is becoming increasingly alienated from Michael and the business yet retains his loyalty in spite of his growing discomfort with Michael's ruthlessness.

I loved the ever developing relationship between Michael and Tom with all its twists and turns. It physically pains me that we didn't get to see it continue in part 3 because their relationship was such an important part of the whole story.

I loved Frank Pentangeli. What a great character he was. I enjoyed him so much that I didn't even miss Clemenza. His final scene with Tom was one of my favourite moments from either of the movies.

The flashback scene was the perfect way to end it. I have so many feelings about that scene but I'll save that for another post.

The offer: to watch “The Godfather” hosted by Tribeca at the United Palace.

This film reminds me of my dad so much for several reasons. Some of them are:

- My first time watching was the whole film series in one sitting with him

- He had Fredos

- I had to deal with one or two Tessios after Dad died

You can watch some highlights on my Instagram Reels: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ce8zTq0FiV0/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Robert De Niro opened up on his experience working with Al Pacino and in The Godfather franchise. Al came out to answer questions about his time working on the film, why he felt that this picture was going to be something else and shared how fate got involved when he found out his grandfather is from Corleone, Sicily

An early Happy Papas Day to all the dads who deserve to celebrate. And to those who try to cross us, I know what to do before grabbing the cannoli.

[mrs-jake-blues]

Forgive me for asking, but who's Mark Winegardner and why is he so despised? Furthermore, why does he hate Michael?

Sorry this took so long! This is a VERY good question.  And a long answer so I’m putting it under read more.  So Winegardner is an author from Ohio who has published a few books.  Back in early/mid 2000s he won a competition held by Puzo’s family to write “what happened in between the movies” books.  Keep in mind, these books are not canon.

 Anyway, he won by writing a draft that had all this backstory of Michael in the war.  Once he actually won the competition, he changed the plot to be about his self-insert Gary Stu Nick Geraci (if you’ve read what I have of my Michael fic, THAT’S who Geracisi is based on lol).  So I haven’t read the books myself, but I’ve read excerpts and friends have told me in length details about them and I have been advised against spending money on them. But yeah Nick is basically the epitome of “self-insert Gary Stu”.  He’s a capo and is just so #special and #rare and tries to show that he’s equally as strong and powerful to Michael (zero people will ever be as strong, powerful, or sexy as Michael, let’s be real) but Michael is eeeeevilll and Nick Geraci is so good and pure and doesn’t want to kill Tessio because Michael only wants to kill him because he’s eeeeevil and Nick is so good and pure.  Basically, does a lot of painting “Michael BAD Nick GOOD”. He makes an extremely fucked up and biphobic/homophobic plotline regarding Fredo.  He makes Fredo bisexual which would be fine in and of itself since I think everyone knows by now myself and other people see Michael being bi. HOWEVER Mark says that the reason Fredo is bisexual is because he was molested by a priest as a child.  He also makes Fredo murder a man he slept with. He also thinks Michael is a bottom AHHA. As if.  And that Michael can only last like 2 seconds in bed and that Ms. I Can’ Have Sex Because I’m Taking Communion Kay dominates.  Gross.  It’s literally canon that Michael is a top (let’s be real, Michael is the ULTIMATE top) and can go until dawn lol.   And he makes Kay have a miscarriage instead of abortion which I think is so ridiculous.  He also makes Kay laugh at Michael about Apollonia and tells him it’s his fault she died and acts like “yas Kay you go girl for sticking it to Michael about his dead wife!”. But he also took a bunch of stuff from other mob movies. @imperatorcorleone (she’s read the books and I’ve gotten most of this info from her) told me that most of the scenes she actually did like in Winegardner’s books were from other mafia movies but she didn’t realize it until she watched those movies. Like a line stolen line from Donnie Brasco, stealing the plot of Casino for Fredo’s story.  Another weird thing is that at one point, Michael sends Geraci on a suicide mission to crash a plane into Lake Erie to kill some Don from Cleveland. BUT OF COURSE Mr. Nick Geraci is just such a strong powerful badass independent man that the PLANE CRASH DOESN’T KILL HIM AND HE LIVES ON RATTLESNAKE ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF LAKER ERIE AND MAGICALLY SURVIVES.  So Nick like grows a beard or something from being on the island and he fucking compares him to Osama Bin Laden.  Which in and of itself is already fucked up that he’s trying to get you to sympathize with self-insert Gary Stu by comparing him to a terrorist.  The books were also written while Bin Laden was still alive.  He also has Nick Geraci write the book of the Godfather because he’s just so special he has to know everything about Michael and become Mario Puzo.  He also made all these historical based plotlines, like basing characters on JFK and his brother I think there were also some random plotlines that were useless or rushed and didn’t make sense (he said he speed wrote the books late at night).  In his interviews about the books, he says he’s better than Puzo. He went on to say his were better than Puzo because he understands the mafia better than Puzo because he watched the Sopranos.  Puzo was a journalist and wrote real stories about the real mafia which is how he knew so much.  The Sopranos is a tv show that is a modern day telling of the mafia so it’s going to be different than the Godfather which is a period piece.  He also said he was better because in modern times he can get away with raunchier plotlines and swearing (Mark, Puzo literally describes Sonny’s dick for like an entire chapter).  He tried to get paramount to accept his books and make miniseries out of them, refusing to do that or do consider them canon (Mark Winegardner, you are NOT canon).  He said he’d be perfect to write the books since he doesn’t normally write mafia stuff and compared himself to Tom Hagen as a non Italian taking on mafia life then proceeds to have Gary Stu kill Tom. Ugh there’s so much that I’m probably forgetting.  But basically he comes across as very arrogant and thinking he knows more about The Godfather than Puzo in all of his intereviews.  He also made the Godfather video games which were not very good (and he made Michael hideous lol).  Added a bunch of random characters and self insert Gary stus.  I have no idea if he had anything to do with this, but Puzo’s son sued the video game for not giving him the cut of money that was supposed to go to his dad’s estate from the rights to the game.  Anyway, that’s the brief summary of why most people don’t like Mark.

The Godfather : Don Corleone dan Manajemen emosi tingkat tinggi.

Anda penggemar film The Godfather trilogy? Atau minimal pernah nonton film nya? Kalo belum gw saranin nontonlah karena film ini merupakan a must see film before you die 😊😊.

Gw beruntung banget 12 tahun lalu ada seorang kolega di kantor seorang kolektor film berniat menjual 1 box The Godfather trilogy I-III, collector edition yang setengah mati nyari edisi ini di pasaran dan gak bakal ada lagi, 1 box berisi 9 CD ( setiap part ada 3 CD), booklet resmi bergambar dan 1 CD behind the scene, well benda ini merupakan treasure gw di rumah yang anak2 aja gak boleh sentuh.

Gw gak bercerita tentang synopsis filmnya, yang pasti Panjang banget dan gak tau kapan kelar nulisnya, sementara nulis itu hobby sampingan gw selain jadi driver nak kanak, urus rumah dan urus eike punya usaha kecil2an. Sang Godfather bernama Vito Corleono or kerap dipanggil Don Corleone, seorang imigran Italy tepatnya dari Sisilia berumur 9 tahun dan sebatang kara ketika pertama kali menginjakkan kaki di New York.

Sebatang kara mencari penghidupan di rantau, bekerja serabutan sampai bekerja di sebuah toko roti. Vito hanyalah pemuda biasa, cenderung pemalu, tak banyak bicara, family man dan setia, intinya kehidupan susah dan pas2 an dijalani dengan lurus2 saja, sampai suatu saat seorang tetangganya bandit kelas kampung Clemenza mengenalnya dengan dunia bandit remeh temeh, karena kelas nya masih ecek2, nyolong karpet, mbongkar rumah, kecil2an gitulah kek maling jemuran. Tak lama anggota nya bertambah dengan hadir nya Sal Tessio.

Debut criminal berat yang dijalani oleh Vito ketika dia membunuh Fanucci, Preman gendut berjas rapi tukang palak berkedok uang keamanan di kampung Italy di New York, suatu saat masing2 Vito, Sal dan Clemenza dimintai uang keamanan 100 USD total bertiga jadi 300 USD disinilah skill negosisasi, keberanian ketenangan seorang Vito bertemu dengan Fanucci di sebuah kedai kopi, dengan hanya menyerah kan uang 100 USD bukan 300 seperti yang diminta. Fannuci pun kagum dengan keberanian Vitto dan menerima uang tsb, walau akhirnya beberapa jam kemudian Fannuci tewas di tangan Vito dan uang 100 USD kembali ke saku sang pemilik. Concern gw, bagaimana Vito yang hanya preman kelas teri membangun planning dan strategi yang matang, menahan emosi demi melihat tukang palak yang super duper nyebelin yang kerap berlaku semena2 di kawasan tersebut. Denga gaya cool, muka ramah terkadang tanpa ekspresi atau emosi betapa seorang Vito sudah melakukan PDCA ( Plan Do Check Action, melakukan gemba walk mengamati secara langsung, atau malah sudah menerapkan Lean Manufacturing or strategi just in time atau malah Kaizen pun udah jalan 😊 😊 ( begini nih ex manajemen pabrik nyoba nulis resensi atau review akhirnya nyerempet ke manufacturing, harap di maafken). Tak selang waktu lama nama Vito berkibar, dia disegani di kawasan, dia kerap membantu orang susah kemudian dia memimpin usaha import minyak zaitun Genco oil and co. Kenapa Vito yang memimpin? Bukan Clemenza yang paling keras dan gahar? Kenapa bukan pula Sal, Clemenza dan Sal Tessio lebih temperamen dan lebih brutal dan sekilas lebih pantas menjadi Don. Vito, ya Vito yang kharismatic, tau balas budi, dia ibarat viper gurun yang tidak akan mematuk apabila tidak disenggol, setia kawan dan tentu saja bijak. Vito punya intuisi kuat dan hampir tidak pernah meleset sekaligus mematikan dan kerap memberikan sebuah penawaran yang tak bisa ditolak.

Hal yang sama terjadi pada anak2nya. Si sulung yaitu Santino Corleone yang kerap dipanggil Sonny akan melanjutkan bisnis sang Don. Tidak ada pilihan lain, tidak mungkin si Fredo anak ke 2 yang penyakitan dan rada2 bocor alus, bukan Michael karena Michael sudah memutuskan jadi anak kuliahan dan mau jauh2 dari lingkaran bisnis sang ayah, dan pasti pula bukan Conny karena si bungsu seorang perempuan.

Vito menyadari sebenarnya Sonny bukan orang yang tepat untuk melanjutkan bisnis ini, dia paham betul sang anak yang temperamen, grasa grusu, womanizer. Ini ditunjukkan Sonny saat merebut dan membanting kamera wartawan yag meliput pernikahan Conny, mengusir FBI dengan kasar bahkan menggebuk suami adiknya yang cheating …menghajarnya di jalanan seperti kesurupan. Bahkan pernah menyarankan perang terbuka melawan Sallozo cs. Sifat temperamen dan mudah terpancing inilah yang membuat Sonny gampang ditebak dan akhirnya mati dengan tubuh di penuhi lubang karena di berondong peluru di jalan tol.

Ketika sang Don di tembak oleh Salazzo seorang bandar Narkoba yang di backing Tataglia yang proposalnya ditolak oleh Don, bisnis keluarga di ambang kehancuran karena Don terkapar sekarat di RS. Siapa yang mengira dan siapa yang menyangka Michael seorang anak kuliahan yang kelihatan lemah, jangankan nembak ditonjok aja ndlosor, ternyata punya strategi cemerlang bagaimana menumbang Salozo dan Tataglia, Situasi yang genting memaksa Michael pulang kampung membela sang ayah dan menyelamatkan bisnis keluarga, dan Michael lah yang ternyata mewarisi sifat sang ayah, fast learner, kalem, dingin, matang dalam strategi tegas dan mematikan. Di tangan Michael duri2 pun di tumpas bersamaan : Mo Greene raja judi yang temperamen, Barzini otak pengkhianatan lima keluarga, Cuneo, Tataglia termasuk menumpas sang pengkhianat internal yaitu sang adik ipar tak berguna Carlo dan Sal Tessio.

Banyak pesan moral film ini : 1. Kita hanya bisa berencana dan Tuhan Mentertawakan hahhahahah…ups maksudnya Tuhan memutuskan 😊, Michael hanya ingin hidup damai mempersunting gadis baik2 Kay Adam dan gak mau ikut bisnis gak halal dikeluarganya, Apa daya…rencana hanya tulisan manusia..Tulisan Tuhan yang punya kuasa.

Elo2 yang suka ngamukan, baper, emosi tinggi, dikit2 nyolot, dikit2 gebrak meja sambil suara cetar membahenol…terima akibatnya.. your emotion will lead you to hell and even worst, die !!, paling apes elo gagal alias gak dapet pa apa, abis Sukanya marah2 mulu sih. Makanya jangan suka ngamuk, dan inget jangan suka marah kalo orang lain ketawa..masa orang gak boleh bahagia ( ups..kode keras)

Ada beberapa point pesan moral yang bakal gw tulis di lanjutan nya, masih di edisi The Godfather, itupun kalo sempet n kalo gak males 😊 Kepoin aja eike punya blog ecek2 : wisnusari.tumbr.com

Asih Wisnusari April mop 2019.

The Godfather (1972) dir. Francis Ford Coppola. 7.7/10 Updated 3 years later. (3.18.20.) 8/10

Don Corleone understands his own values very well and does well to keep everyone in check. I respect that. He is also rather intelligent.  I love the scene when he is hanging out with his grandson. Family values.

The music, my oh my, I want to be looking at nature with some nice wine with good friends.

Al Pacino is a lil cutie.

Can I please go to Sicily?

I love how everything is about business, family, and respect.  The family part makes sense, because in this business, the only ones you should trust is your family.

The baptism scene is just so beautiful. Such art. I also love the symbolism behind it.

Updated commentary:

I am now more aware of how Don was a title. Michael did well in taking over and not being pushed around.

Why they have to make Connie so hysterical? I don’t like women shown this way.

It’s funny when people are like cmon it’s 2019 to say this situation should be progressive and they do the same thing here to talk about bloodshed.

Spoiler: [About the Corleone family. Vito is the Don with Tom Hagen as the consigliere. We are at Vito’s daughter’s Connie’s wedding. A man comes to him to ask for vengeance on men who fucked up his daughter so he does so in return for a favor. He also had Tom get his godson a role in a movie by cutting of the studio head’s prized horse’s head. Later, Sollozzo tries to get all the family heads to agree to push for narcotics and using the protection of politics and police. Vito is the only one who doesn’t want to be a part of it because he considers it dirty business. Vito has his muscles, Luca Brasi, spy on them and Luca is killed by the Tattaglia family, while they kidnap Hagen and shoot down Vito. VIto survives with 5 shots in his body, his son Sonny is in charge for the time being. Sonny gets vengeance by murdering the son of the Tattaglia family. Michael, the youngest son of the Corleones, who isn’t part of the family business gets involved. A meeting is held between him and Sollozzo and a dirty cop. Michael gets a prefixed hidden gun and shoots them. He goes into hiding in Italy after while leaving behind his girlfriend. He finds a new wife there until she is blown up in a car. Sonny beats up Connie’s husband, Carlo, because he abuses her. Sonny is then killed in a shootout at a toll booth later when he comes down to stop another abusive moment. Vito realizes Barzini is now in charge and gathers the heads of the five families to talk about this war. He guarantees know revenge and wants his sons to come home safely. Michael comes back and takes over the family business and goes back to his ex girlfriend and has a child with her. Vito is now consigliere. Vito ends up dying from a heart attack later. Before he died, he told Michael that someone will betray him and set up a meeting between him and Barzini while ensuring his safety even though it’s a plan to assassinate him. Tessio is the traitor. The meeting is on the day of Connie’s baptism. As Michael stands in to be godfather, his hitmen kill all the family heads. They also get Moe Greene, who was sheltering Fredo, one of the Corleone’s. Michael tells this to Carlo and then have his men kill him for being part of Sonny’s murder. Connie accuses Michael of the murder in front of his wife and she asks him if it’s true and he denies it, relieving her.]

I had typed this once and Tumblr deleted it, so here we go again.

Fredo Corleone/Arthur Shelby: Both brother were skipped over for power so their younger brother could take over the business. Both are emotionally frail. Neither is as intelligent or calculated enough to run/take business to the next level. Both are too trusting. Fredo with Mo Green, Arthur with his dad. However, Arthur would NEVER go against the family or try and have Tommy murdered. Shame on you Fredo.

Michael Corleone/Thomas Shelby: Natural born leaders. Took over the family business, and made it more successful. Both have a desire to go legitimate. Are willing to make hard choices for the benefit of the family. Smart, calculated, and cold. At the end of The Godfather, Michael figured out it was Tessio that started the whole mess, much like Tommy with that chef in S4 Ep 1. They have a mind like detectives, nothing gets passed them.

Sonny Corleone/John Shelby: both are sarcastic as hell. Both have horrible tempers. Both are the cause of their own demise. Sonny for beating Carlo in the street. John for beating up changretta’s son for dating Lizzie. Both enjoyed the violent part of the family business.

Tom Hagen/Michael Gray: neither are immediate family. Tom Hagen was adopted at a young age and grew up with the Corleone family, Michael not being reunited with his family until he was 17. They have a mind for business and both only handle the legitimate business, Tom as the family Lawyer and Michael as the Accountant. Michael has all the makings to be the Consigliere for Shelby family if that position existed. They both have to put emotion aside and think about whats best for business. Like when Michael Gray had remind Tommy that killing Alfie Solomons would be very bad for business.

What do you guys think? Agree? Disagree? Let me know.

Because I like to think in Godfather terms it occurs to me that Trump has the soul of Tattaglia, the tactical ability of Fredo, the weakness of character of Paulie, the heart of Carlo, the judgement of Tessio and the body of Clemenza.

Ways I would improve The Godfather Games

I love The Godfather games, but I feel as though the games should have been restructured a bit to fit the movies better. Here is how I would do it

Godfather 1.

Opens similarly with Johnny's death and Aldo's mother seeking help from Vito and Luca saving him(tho imo I think Clemenza should have been the one to rescue and mentor Aldo in the tutorial, not Luca)

Then after the tutorial and after helping Monk and Paulie with returning Bonasera's favor, we'd get a call from Clemenza to meet Rocco and they'd fly to LA to do the Woltz mission. This happens after the tutorials to better line up the narrative of the movie

After the hospital mission, Tessio would seek us out in hitting Bruno Tattaligia as in his words “We hit Bruno Tattaglia at 4 o'clock this morning...”

There would be a sex scene between Aldo and Frankie

Rest  of the game pretty much plays out the same. Only Frankie would live and Monk would not turn traitor.

In one of the endings we would get to see Aldo and Frankie married prior to becoming Don Of New York

Godfather 2 I strongly feel like it was a mistake to kill off Aldo in this game, in an ideal world Aldo Trapani would still be the protagonist of the game, while Dominic is his right hand. Also it was such a weird place to start in Cuba when that's when the first half of the movie ends.

It begins with flashbacks to Aldo's father Johnny and we'd flash to Aldo and Johnny, much like Michael and Vito in the movie. Maybe Johnny could've been a victim of Don Fanucci's Black Hand and Clemenza rescues him and brings him into the family.  Over time we would see Aldo in the flashbacks wipe out the Black Hand's members and help Vito cement his power in New York

Aldo would be Don of New York, Frank Pentangeli is his Consigliere, Clemenza his Underboss and Monk and Dominic would be his Capos

We would witness Clemenza's death, Aldo killing Rosato's men as would be the tutorial

Aldo and Frankie would have two kids. one boy and one girl. Johnny and Rosie

Then Dominic is promoted to Underboss, while Monk is Aldo’s Capo

Over time we would build the rest of our crew and while Tom is running things in Nevada, we would recruit a new Consigliere

Aldo would be at Anthony’s party pissed because the Rosato brothers killed Clemenza, Michael urges caution as he does in the movie, Aldo does what he's asked but Frank is the wildcard

We’d see Aldo dancing with Frankie at the party

When they return to New York, The Rosatos attempt to assassinate Aldo in the peace meeting and it's all out war on the Rosato Brothers

After Aldo regains control of New York, Michael would contact Aldo to go to Florida as their friend and business partner Hyman Roth has need of assistance

We would get our own Compound in Florida when we arrive, rather than just take a compound. 

This way we can take over businesses and rackets and take out the Granados and later the Mangano family. We would also meet Henry Mitchell before returning to New York.

Several romance scenes between Aldo and Frankie, while also see Aldo spend time with his children

Sometime after taking over Florida, Aldo, Fredo and Frankie would be targeted by Roth’s men but Frankie would live and Fredo would say it was Mangano

Then the war between Aldo’s family and Mangano begins

Then we attend the meeting in Cuba. In Roth's speech he will detail that he left all his businesses in Florida to Aldo

Maybe Aldo could agree to stay behind in Cuba to take out the Almeida family and Henry Mitchell

Then when we return to New York we help out with Vincenzo and the senate hearing

We would later find out that Roth enlisted the help of Fredo to make it look like the Manganos' attacked him and Aldo in Aldo's home to the Manganos would take Aldo out and Fredo would take control of Aldo's family in New York, Florida and Cuba

Aldo and his crew would go and kill Roth, escape and the end credit scenes would have Aldo kill Fredo
