Literally just watched that last night! Going through Tarantino's Cinema Speculation. His plotline was oddly hilarious and yet kind of unnecessary.

Great bad guy! “I’m the hunted one!!”-Godfather dinner scene..He was in a bunch of stuff. I bet he was super nice off screen too.

You should see him in The Getaway with Steve McQueen. He’s truly menacing. Great movie.

His voice and delivery were superb. His scene speaking Italian with no subtitles was awesome!

mechapoitier t1_jaayq7w wrote

You posted the name so I looked up his wiki and it said he was born in 1928. “Oh thank god, 1928 was waaay before the Godfather, so the title was just a joke.”

Then I did the math. Jesus he really was only in his mid-40s in that picture. He died at 47. From a heart attack. At 47. I’m almost 47.

Capnmarvel76 t1_jabbv5v wrote

He was evidently quite an enthusiast of the, erm…more interesting pharmaceuticals, which might explain a fatal heart attack at that age, even given the fact that he probably smoked like a chimney and drank all the liquor.

Patsy was definitely a part of that life. But I believe you are referring to his brother, Tommy “Tommy Ryan” Eboli.

It’s crazy what living through the early to mid 20th century did to people. The depression, dust bowl, three American wars, lead shooting out of exhaust pipes and into the air from every vehicle on every street, people smoking in every building you went into, drinking like crazy…the list goes on.

Everyone references Godfather I but dose anyone notice how the composition is similar to Godfather II Havana balcony scene? Flip it aside and you'll get the scene with Pacino refusing the cake slice. I love II, I is just ok.

Why did ppl look so old at 40 back then ..but not so now

dolampochki t1_jabt2e5 wrote

It’s the way people dressed, the hairstyle, the mustaches. You associate certain styles today with a certain age because at one point people stop following the fashion and keep dressing the same and keep the same hairstyles. Then they get old and that is the style you would associate old people with today. If you gave him a contemporary haircut and shaved the mustache, he’d look like a regular 44 year old from today. …and yes, the smoking, the lead from car exhaust, and the lack of sunscreen contribute as well.

I swear, people used to age like milk.

A few days ago, I was talking to a high school friend and we're the same age now that Patrick Stewart was when he first became Captain Picard. Now, he has always looked great for his age but 36 years ago, he looked considerably older than we look now.

I think you need to see a doctor. You might be having a stroke.

Or maybe you're sundowning. Would make sense if you were 44 in 1972.
