How can I get a Vito Corleone aesthetic without looking autistic?

be Vito Corleone

Age 50 years

become fat as shit and stuff cotton wool in your mouth

eat a lot of spaghetti

get 50 years older
get drunk
put on a tuxedo
talk to people as if every word they say to you offends you but act as if you will overlook such disrespect because you are a bigger man

I like you user so I'm gonna give it to you straight.

Vito's aesthetic was because he was a 70 year old gangster who lived his whole life doing gangster shit. You will never be him, and if you try to go for that aura, that weught, that aesthetic, you are going to come off like a fedora-and-tshirt wearing loser.

Be yourself. Develop your own weight and gravitas. It's not going to be like Vito Corleone, but that's OK because you are not him. Get your own aesthetic and make people ask themselves "how do I get user's aesthetic?".

Either that or go as a young Vito, or Clemenza. Or Fredo.

Marlo Brando was 21 yrs old when they shot that movie..

Read the book, specifically the chapter that goes into him meeting Clemenza years ago and how he got his start in the mafia.
He's pretty much a nice guy who does mean things, but would prefer not to. It's cute.

That's part of the appeal. He looks retarded but is a genius.

Actor Richard Erdman, a fellow actor in “The Men” (Brando’s first film), says Marlon’s diet at the time consisted of “junk food, take out, and peanut butter”, which he consumed by the jarful. By the mid-fifties, Marlon had become renowned for eating boxes of Mallomars and Cinnamon Buns, and washing his sweet treats down with a quart of milk.

Close friend, Carlo Fiore, said Marlon would go on extreme crash diets in the fifties and sixties, but then would lose his willpower. He would subsequently gorge on huge breakfasts consisting of corn flakes, sausages, eggs, bananas and cream, and a huge stack of pancakes drenched in maple syrup. (One of Brando’s nicknames for himself was “Branflakes”.)

Carlos Fiore would be dispatched by Brando’s directors to fetch him out of local coffee shops. Kark Malden, a close friend, said that during the shooting of “One Eyed Jacks” (1961) Brando would eat “two steaks, potatoes, two apple pies a la mode, and a quart of milk” for dinner. This diet necessitated the constant altering of his costumes during filming. Because of this, at his birthday party that year, the crew gave Marlon a belt as his present with the card, “Hope it fits”. His birthday cake was labeled “Don’t feed the director” (Brando was the director of “One Eyed Jacks”).

His second wife, Movita, actually put a lock on the house refrigerator. But when she awoke one morning, the lock was broken and Marlon’s teeth marks were found on a round of cheese. The house maid told Mrs. Brando that Marlon made nighttime raids on the icebox routinely.

Brando also loved to frequent hot dog stands late at night, particularly the L.A. hot dog joint Pink’s at 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning, where he’d wolf down as many as six hot dogs at a time.

>Get your own aesthetic and make people ask themselves "how do I get user's aesthetic?".

This is unironically the best advice I've heard on Sup Forums ever.

Not surprisingly from these gorge-fests, the costumer on “Mutiny on the Bounty” (1962), James Taylor, claims Brando split 52 pairs of pants during the shooting of the film, due to his wild swings in weight. This necessitated a stretch fabric be used on his wardrobe replacement clothes. He split these pants too. During this time, Marlon was also once observed taking a 5-gallon tub of ice cream and rowing himself out in the lagoon to indulge himself.

On the set of “The Apaloosa” (1966) Marlon’s double once had to be used in long shots simply because Marlon had eaten one of his gorge-fest lunches.

Dick Loving (yes, that really was his name), who married Marlon’s sister, Frannie, said Marlon would eat “two chickens at a sitting and (go) through an entire Pepperidge Farm cookies [package]”.

In what was possibly Marlon’s strangest eating exploit, it was reported that during the filming of “Missouri Breaks” (1976), he fished a frog out of a pond, took a bite out of it, and put it back in the drink… when you’re hungry, you’re hungry I guess.

Before filming “Apocalypse Now” (1979), Marlon devoutly promised to lose weight, but he just couldn’t do it. Subsequently, his character is shown in the shadows for much of the film to hide his Buddha-like belly. A 6′ 5″ double was used in long shots by director Francis Ford Coppola to “give the character more stature”.

By the 1980s, it was reported that one of Brando’s girlfriends had left him because he wouldn’t keep his promise to lose weight. He always seemed to be dieting, but the pounds weren’t coming off much. Unknown to her, he had some of his buddies throw bags of Burger King Whoppers over the gates of his Mulholland Drive estate.

I know vito was always best character because hes really a kind soul, in a way, that just does really fucked up shit. You can tell hes not tony soprano. But when you think about it so was micheal...so where does it go wrong for micheal Sup Forums? The answer to this I think is the whole idea behind godfather 1 and 2

Later in the ’80s, Marlon was routinely spotted at a Beverly Hills ice cream parlor buying five gallon containers of ice cream- which he would eat all himself. Reportedly, one of his favorite “snacks” around this time was a full pound of cooked bacon placed in an entire loaf of bread. During these years, the 5′ 10″ Marlon’s weight would balloon up to an incredible 350 pounds at one point.

Towards the end of his life, when his life was obviously in danger from his over-eating, Marlon did make a last-ditch attempt to drop some excess weight by going on a bland diet. At one point he did drop 70 pounds. But his heart, his liver, and his body in general were already severely damaged by his over-eating habits and frequent crash diets.

Possibly only Elvis Presley and Orson Welles, among show biz and movie legends, liked to indulge in over-eating as much as the great Marlon Brando. And right up to the end- which, sadly, finally came on July 1, 2004 (he was 80), Marlon never lost his great love of food, especially his beloved ice cream.

Bonus Fact:

Living on the island of Tetiorova, Marlon liked to create his own “real life mounds bars”, cracking open a coconut, melting some chocolate in the sun, then stirring it in the coconut for a tasty treat (sounds pretty good actually!)

literally just get a tailored suit

>tfw read that in vitos voice

GF2 is vastly overrated here and in popular culture. Nowhere near the first. Sort of a cash-in/what didnt make the first movie/rehash. That's why Coppola didnt even want to do it at first, Brando didnt do it. The young Vito stuff looks nice but isnt in itself revelatory, nor does it really connect, mirror or compliment the Michael plot which again looks terrific, but goes nowhere new. The door closing in Kay's face, the rift at the end of the first is just rehashed.

Picture yourself doing a Brando impression doing a Welles impression.

Roth isn't even a good villain. It's mostly like "the week in the life of Michael" instead of a Godfather story. Ignoring the shit acting in the third, I prefer III to II

(You)

first step, stop looking like an autistic retard piece of autism

>Marlon was also once observed taking a 5-gallon tub of ice cream and rowing himself out in the lagoon to indulge himself.

The 3rd movie was completely unnecessary

method acting: 1
