Official Godfather Trilogy thread. Plus info on why Sicilians called Michael "Migueleh"

Just google it breh.

There's no reason Vit would give the other 3 Italian names, but an anglo name for him? Nah, they're Italians, their names are Italian. But when they went into widespread NY society, their teachers, classmates etc. called them by the anglo versions of their names, and that's what they're known by by the time of the movie.

Michael. Solely because of this scene.

Sonny is my favorite although Michael is the more compelling and is the best character. Sonny wasn't as cold blooded as Mike, which I like, and of course he's a hothead, and truly cares about family. If I had to pick one of them I'm most like, it's Michael in the sense that he thinks things out, always has a plan even when you think he doesn't, and tries to see the angles to a fault where it ends up costing him a lot but I'm not cold like him, which is why I lean toward Sonny as my favorite.

I did Google it breh. Can you post a link? I can't even find anything that says "Miguele" is an Italian name. You're assuming that because the other siblings have Italian names, he must have one too. Michael is the youngest son, so the family could have assimilated enough to call him Michael by the time he was born. Plus, it's just a movie.

I feel like this isn't fair because some of them didn't get fleshed out as well as others. Besides Michael though, I really found Tessio intriguing.

tessio: "he can't do that it screws up all my arrangements"

tom: "i can't go with you either, tessio."

cici:

tessio: ..."tell mike it was only business, i always liked him"

tom: "he understands that."

tessio: "could you get me off the hook tom?? for old times sake??

tom: "can't do it sally"

Making an argument for 3 pages without posting any single bit of proof or source. I don't give a fukk if you're Italian and your last name is Corleone. You don't know shyt about The Godfather. You are literally the only person on the world wide web claiming this bogus theory. Nothing on google proves that Michael's real name is Miguele. Nothing comes up. I should neg your dumb ass twice for making up shyt out of the blue and calling it facts just cause of your so called Italian background.

I wasn't gonna spell it by the original "Michele", because it looks like a girl's name, and I ain't finna disrespect my nikka like that. So I spelt it by how it's pronounced, with a "g" sound. If I spelled it "Migele", yall would think it's pronounced "Mijelle", so I added a "u" to differentiate. Them Southern cats and sicilians pronounce a c as a g. A cumpa is a companion, a friend, but they pronounce it gumba even tho it's spelled cumpa. And that's where the slur Goombah came from. Different pronunciation forced a different spelling, just like in this case.

Here's the script, dikklicker. I am a Godfather expert, don't ever question my knowledge http://www.thegodfathertrilogy.com/gf1/transcript/gf1transcript.html

DISSOLVE TO: Sicilian countryside, during the day. "The Love Theme" music plays.

Michael is walking with his bodyguards, Fabrizio and Calo. A car drives up to them and

stops. Fabrizio opens the door for Tommasino -day

Fabrizio

[In Italian: I kiss your hand, Don Tommasino]

TOMMASINO

[In Italian: Michele, Why are you so far from the house? You know I'm responsible to your

father for your life]

MICHAEL

[In Italian: I'm with Calo and Fabrizio...]



Fabrizio (to Michael, who can't keep his eyes off of Apollonia)

Oh -- I think you got hit by the thunderbolt]

CALO (poking Michael's shoulder)

[In Italian: Michele -- In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns]

[Apollonia turns to look at Michael]


DISSOLVE TO: Vitelli's Yard. Michael, holding gifts, is introduced to each of the relatives,

then to Apollonia, after she descends the steps and sits on the bench beside her mother.

-day

VITELLI (introducing Apollonia to Michael)

E guesta mia figlia, Apollonia -- e guesto Michele Corleone [this is my daughter, Apollonia -- and this is Michael Corleone]

[Apollonia shakes Michael's hand, accepts his gift, and looks at her mother who

nods, giving her permission to open it. She unwraps a boxed necklace]




Now why would his bodyguards and one of Sicily's most respected men call him his Italian name? If his real name was Michael, they'd call him Michael. But they know him personally, Tommasino has known him all his life, his real name ain't Michael.

So vafanculo to you. Tu sei un omosessuale e ho scopato tua madre!
