    It’s one in every of Hollywood’s largest what-ifs, Martin Scorsese virtually helming The Godfather Half II as a substitute of Francis Ford Coppola. At first look, it seems like an attractive alternate timeline, two titans of American cinema colliding over the identical mythic underworld however when you dig deeper, it turns into clear that the fact we bought could have been the best-case state of affairs.

    Francis Ford Coppola’s Fatigue and the Scorsese Suggestion

    Again within the early ’70s, Coppola was recent off surviving the chaotic, pressure-cooked set of The Godfather. Studio battles, shady financing, manufacturing complications, all of it left him drained. When discussions for a sequel surfaced, he was hesitant, virtually able to stroll and tensions with producer Bob Evans didn’t assist both.

    Coppola pitched a then-rising Scorsese to take over the reins, a suggestion that claims extra about Coppola’s generosity than the studio’s willingness to take a threat.

    Scorsese, although immensely proficient, hadn’t but earned the clout that may later outline him. He had Imply Streets beneath his belt, however the gritty, street-level chaos of that movie was miles away from the sweeping operatic grandeur The Godfather Half II demanded.

    Paramount’s Chilly Toes and Coppola’s Return

    Because of this, Paramount balked as a result of they wished stability, not threat. So that they provided Coppola full inventive management and a million-dollar incentive, and similar to that, the person who almost give up the franchise ended up delivering a masterpiece.

    Coppola’s sequel didn’t simply match the unique, it expanded it. He wove a twin timeline narrative that bounced between Robert De Niro’s quietly charismatic younger Vito and Al Pacino’s more and more hole Michael. Two arcs, which had been a long time aside, sliding alongside the identical darkish path, till they collided in a form of emotional damage. It was massive and stylish and it solely exists the way in which it does as a result of Coppola stayed behind the digicam.

    Martin Scorsese Wasn’t Prepared And He Knew It

    Martin himself has admitted in recent times that he wasn’t prepared. His phrases, not ours. He advised Deadline in an interview final 12 months with IndieWire, “I don’t assume I may have made a movie on that stage at the moment in my life, and who I used to be at the moment. To make a movie as elegant and masterful and as traditionally essential as Godfather II, I don’t assume… Now, I might’ve made one thing fascinating, however his maturity was already there. I nonetheless had this type of edgy factor, the wild child operating round.”

    Scorsese’s gangster movies have all the time lived nearer to the gutter than the boardroom. His mobsters snort coke and bleed out on the street, Coppola’s function from shadowy rooms behind luxurious curtains. The stress between type and substance is a part of what makes their movies so distinct.

    It’s exhausting to think about Scorsese indulging within the operatic sorrow that defines Half II. Extra doubtless, his model would’ve torn down the mythos slightly than increase it, reshaping the Corleone household into one thing meaner, uglier, maybe more true however basically completely different.

    So whereas it’s tempting to fantasize about what may’ve been, possibly it’s higher this fashion. Coppola stayed, delivered a cinematic elegy, and Scorsese went on to make the sorts of mob movies that stood in stark, snarling distinction. Every caught to their strengths, and movie historical past is richer for it.
