This Scene Gives Me So Many Feelings. Sonny's Words Are So Shockingly And Incredibly Cruel, Especially

This scene gives me so many feelings. Sonny's words are so shockingly and incredibly cruel, especially considering how sensitive and insecure Tom already is. He wanted to hurt him here and could hardly have chosen a more effective weapon than those two sentences. Yet you can see how he much instantly regrets his words, he loves Tom so deeply that in spite of his pride, he doesn't hesitate to back down and try to make amends.

I wish that we'd been able to see Tom's expression here. He's obviously badly wounded by those words but I also get the impression that he was also angry and came very close to hitting him and probably would have if Sonny hadn't backtracked. That hand gesture Tom makes says fuck you Sonny even as he tells Sonny that it's over.

One of my favourite little details in Part 2 was that child Sonny was boxing the adults and getting overly aggressive about it. That did such a great job of showing his personality and the man that he'd become.

Also apparently the child actor who played young Fredo got lost in the vaults in that scene because he wasn't listening and that's so Fredo.

Reading Watership Down is so fun because I’ll be like “Get his ass, Bigwig,” and then he looks like fucking this

Tom Hagen being the one who gives Clemenza the signal(with his tie) to go ahead and garotte Carlo is one of my favourite little details from The Godfather.

Today's book.

I've had this for years and I've read it before but all this Deer Hunter talk made me want to read it again.

Unfortunately it isn't a fully fledged novel unlike The Godfather but a novelisation, and it's under 200 pages which is very little for an adaptation of a 3 hour movie but I'm still looking forward to reading it.
