Only just noticed that's what it is.

I'll admit it's been 10+ years since I saw The Godfather but I don't recall anyone being a "puppet" of Vito. And his methods were bribery, coercive and intimidation.

The Godfather is in charge. He pulls the strings. He doesn't do dirty work. His people do.

Because originally Don Corleone wanted to be a puppeteer. Didn't work out so well his first big show with his hand up Clemenza's tuchus. But despite the turns their lives took after night, neither man ever forgot that magical night...

The characters you see in the movies are actually hyperrealistic-looking puppets.

I'd say Luca Brasi is his puppet in a way.

It's the most obvious symbolism in the history of symbolism. I think TC is yanking everybody's chain here.

In the Offer show on P+ about the development of the film, they showed a poster that was laugh out loud funny, that made it look like a rock album cover with all the main characters standing side by side.

So this topic lead me to a Godfather content binge and I've found this deleted scene where Genco specifically asking for the Godfather to "pull some strings".

A possible explanation right?

Because Sonny Corleone wasn't actually human. He was a puppet that was hand-crafted by Vito and which was brought to life by the Blue Fairy to be his son (as payment for a favor she owed him), but as per the laws of La Cosa Nostra, he would not be allowed to take his father's place as head of the family until he became a real boy. Unfortunately, Barzini had him killed before he could achieve that, and the Fairy had asked only two favors of the Don in her life (the second of which had already been called in, when Fredo pestered his father to have her bring a banana daquiri to life), so Vito couldn't call on her again to bring Sonny back.

Watching the movie right now. The last scene with Michael and Vito discussing what will happen when he passes. Vito talks about refusing to be on a string for those that hold power, that he wanted Michael to live a different life and be the one holding the strings.

I wonder if the series talks about Coppola freaking out after reading about the novel's obsession with Sonny's big dick.
