"The Godfather 3" re-screening! The most classic gangster gangster, wearing a suit and a gold watch, dressed in revealing class When Michael went to visit the Jewish gangster Hayman Rose, he personally drove an orange-green color for Ford Ferland ↓ color matching is also quite stylish, and the color matching is inexplicably like the car driven by the Ace Ultraman TAC team.

Fan Lord said: Suit thugs

Recently, the screening of the Beijing International Film Festival kicked off. This time, 300 films appeared in the screening unit, and many popular films sold out in a few seconds.

Among them, the "Repair Classic" unit is undoubtedly the most desperate, and when looking through the film list, Fan Lord found that the third part of the classic "Godfather" series, "Finale: The Death of Michael Corleone", was also impressively listed. It's been 49 years since the first "Godfather" was released, so I can't help but look back again.

The Godfather series of films, based on Mario Puzo's novels, won numerous awards that year. Especially in the first two films, the Oscars were soft. In the hearts of many people, "The Godfather" is the best gangster film, known as the "Man's Bible".

Fan Lord first gives you a review of the plot: the "Godfather" trilogy tells the life of michael Corleone, the godfather of the gang, from inheriting the mantle of his father Vito Corleone to strengthen the family power, to the story of killing his brother in order to consolidate power and eliminate dissidents, and his wife and daughter died alone in his later years. If you haven't seen it yet, Fan Main Wall Crack recommends everyone to go and see it.

The Corleone family is at the heart of the trilogy, with the main members being the first godfather Vito Corleone, the second godfather Michael, the grumpy big brother Sonny, the second brother Fredo, the adopted son and military master Tom Hagen, and the third generation of godfather Vincent.

Among them, the original old godfather was played by the classic film star Marlon Brando, who did not hesitate to stuff something in his mouth in order to perform the essence of the character, and this role also won him the Oscar for best actor for the second time.

The second generation of godfathers is played by veteran superstar Al Pacino, who was also a fledgling when he starred in the first film, acting in only two movies. Pacino's modeling in the film spans from youth to old age, saying that God's acting skills have shaped the role of Michael into a classic ↓

In addition to the epic plot and superb acting skills, the movie is full of highlights, as well as textbook-level suits. Wearing the most handsome suits and doing the most ruthless things is probably talking about two generations of godfathers.

The costume designer of the "Godfather" trilogy is Anna Hill Johnstone, who has been the costume director of several Hollywood blockbusters, and the costume design of the first part also made her nominated for best costume design at the 45th Academy Awards.

Today, Fan Lord will talk to you about the dress and lifestyle in "The Godfather", and see how the gangster family interprets the suit style.

The Godfather Pt. I: The Godfather Waltz

Nino Rota - The Godfather Trilogy

Old Godfather: The aura is forced to be meticulous

First, let's talk about the old godfather Vito Corleone, whose personality is a very deep, fierce, but also a principled mafia leader with a strong aura.

The characters are a combination of the backgrounds of several real-life gangsters, most similar to frank Costello, the leader of the American mafia known as the "underground prime minister", who runs an illegal gambling business, has close political ties, and prohibits his subordinates from participating in the drug trade.

The Story of Godfather 1 takes place in 1945-1955, when the old Godfather is in his twilight years and is played by Marlon Brando.

The most classic look of the old godfather is the black dress style at the beginning of the movie. This set can be said to be the "power suit" of the old godfather, and a rose is worn on the satin flat-lapel suit, which is solemn and imposing.

While talking to people who want to ask for themselves, while still holding the cat, every move is extremely oppressive, and he also said the classic line: You don't even want to call me a godfather. The godfather's cat was not designed in advance, and the cat accidentally ran into the studio and was put into Marlon Brando's hand.

Because he was attending his daughter's wedding that day, the old godfather's hairstyle was meticulously combed, and the black bow tie was tightly pressed against the wing collar of the shirt, revealing exquisiteness. The roses on the chest can also be picked and smelled, and the real heart has a tiger sniffing the roses.

Moreover, the lapel of the suit is very wide, and there is a pearl on the placket of the shirt, which reflects the majesty and status of the godfather everywhere.

This styling classic has triggered imitations and tributes around the world. For example, Jiang Wen's modeling in the movie "One Step Away", as well as Mr. Big in the movie "Crazy Animal City", cos can be said to be exactly the same, grasping a lot of essence.

Even Rebbs imitated it in the short film "Wind Outlet" that year, but it was relatively rough in comparison.

The old godfather's daily dress is also very interesting. When attending the gang meeting and negotiating with various bigwigs, he will choose a three-piece suit, a serious black suit with a jacquard tie, which is also full of momentum and not arrogant.

When talking privately, he slightly restrained his aura and wore a set of flannel dark pattern suits, with similar color shirts and floral ties, but the expression still revealed that he was not good.

Back home to take off the suit, the white shirt + suspender pants collocation is more casual and relaxed, but also does not delay the expression is full of disdain and fierceness ↓

Later, the old godfather and drug dealer TanBang were assassinated, and it was winter, and he wore a crisp gray Chester coat and a top hat on the outside of the suit, which was classic and old-fashioned.

After the assassination and injury, the old godfather's shape can be said to have taken a one hundred and eighty degree turn, and the shirt jacket is covered with a sweater, which looks very haggard.

The hairstyle has also changed from a meticulous oil head to an unattended messy hairstyle, highlighting the aging of the old godfather, and also representing the retirement and scenery of a generation of godfathers.

After the official retreat, the old godfather often stayed in the courtyard and "talked" with his favorite young son. The clothes are also casual and old, like a retired old man.

The most commonly worn white shirt is loose and crumbling, occasionally planting vegetables, bringing grandchildren, and not asking about family affairs.

When he was young, he killed decisively and did not smile, but when he was old, he would quietly make a grimace to tease his grandson, and ended his life in the joy of heaven.

The old Godfather's youth was mainly focused on "The Godfather 2", played by veteran film emperor Robert De Niro. De Niro participated in the audition for "The Godfather 1", although he was not selected, but left a good impression on director Coppola and was invited to star in the second part.

(Robert De Niro and Al Pacino have also co-starred in the gangster film The Irishman in recent years.)

"The Godfather 2" also completes the life experience of the old godfather. As a child, his family was wiped out by the Sicily mafia and fled to the United States. After growing up and starting a family, he was honestly working in a grocery store, but he was bullied by the land snake and lost his job, and he mistakenly embarked on the road of crime and formed a theft gang with friends.

Although the work is not very decent, the old godfather is a "decent person" from young to old, adhering to the principle that the head can be broken and the hairstyle cannot be messed up, and the oil head has always been meticulously combed.

The coat is basically this kind of short suit of brown wool material that looks rough and thick, or a double-breasted suit jacket, which is not very good in texture and more in line with his poor identity. Every time you do something bad, you have to wear a black duck-tongue hat, which can be called "overalls"↓

The inside is always matched with a not very formal black collar blue shirt, and it is quite lively with suspender pants.

After killing the ground snake Van Lunqi with one shot, the old godfather began to emerge on the rivers and lakes, and the outfit gradually became fancy, with a polka-dot tie and a striped vest.

He is also becoming more and more like a big guy, growing a beard, showing maturity and self-confidence.

After becoming famous in the United States and becoming a real big man, the old godfather returned to his hometown of Sicily to hand blade the enemy, and at the same time put on the future's iconic suit three-piece suit + top hat, completing the transformation from xiaobai to godfather ↓

This suit is very distinctive, designed by the famous Hollywood costume designer Theadora Van Runkle, made by Western Costume, which specializes in custom clothing for Hollywood, and was also tailored for De Niro, and was later auctioned off.

In the 1920s and 1930s, this short and wide lapel was popular among men's single-breasted suits, and this one was a super wide lapel, which was in stark contrast to the previous shabby origin, and was dramatic.

Second generation godfather: from little white to big guy

The second generation of godfather Michael Corleone is the protagonist of the trilogy, his original design is a patriotic young man who throws pens from the rong, and after retiring from the army, he is also a "good baby" who does not ask about family affairs, and later because of the assassination of his father, he was designated to negotiate, and the result was that the murderer fell into the criminal road, and finally became a generation of godfathers.

This character has the shadow of the real gangster Salvatore Bonanno. The man was the son of gang boss Joseph Bonanno, who had been placed in law school since childhood, away from the family business, but had become involved in organized crime himself.

Compared with the old godfather, the second generation of godfather Michael's shape is more abundant, from the transformation of the little white to the vicious gangster, the image transformation and contrast in this process is even greater, which is worth savoring.

Very obvious growth changes can be seen from the hairstyle. Michael, a young man, had just returned from the army, and his fluffy partial head looked green and simple, with a slightly intellectual feeling.

After taking office, like the old godfather, he combed up the big man's exclusive big back, meticulously, and his eyes became gloomy.

When he was old, his hair was gray, and he simply cut it into an inch, and the roots were straight; after his retreat, the old godfather was the same, with messy sideburns and a top hat, completing a reincarnation.

Dressing also reflects Michael's transformation process. As a young man, Michael was a college student, wearing a beige plaid suit and more intellectual.

Later joined the Marine Corps, and retired with the rank of captain at the beginning of "Godfather 1", he wore a military uniform and still looked like a righteous spirit boy, who was incompatible with the family.

At first, he had no intention of getting involved in the family business, and he talked about love and talked about flying, and the style of wearing at this time was also more relaxed and elegant, and the striped suit was decorated with a red striped tie, which had a sense of sight of the rich man's brother.

Everyday always wears a seemingly ordinary black or brown corduroy suit with striped ties, and the buttoned collar of the shirt is mostly worn by young people in the United States, dressed like an ordinary youth.

He was also spat on by the big brother that it was "nice college boy" ↓

However, his father was injured by the enemy's shooting, and in the game of avenging his father, Michael officially put on the same suit three-piece suit as his father and other members of the family, heralding the advent of the era of the second generation of godfathers, and the fierce eyes were full of "blackening" and the city government ↓

After succeeding the old godfather as the head of the family, Michael became a fierce character, and his style also matured and stabilized a lot, mostly in charcoal gray and black suits, and the shirt changed from a button collar to a standard collar ↓

In particular, the "power suit" belonging to Michael in the second part, the black three-piece suit, which is also customized by Western Costume, will show different lusters in different lights, making him look deep and aura, and more elusive.

The gangster's essential top hat, Michael also arranged for himself. The shape is also very elaborate, the brim is slightly rolled up, this hat is called "The Homburg Hat", which was very popular in the first and mid-20th century, and later became known as the "Godfather Hat" because of the wearing of Al Pacino.

During this period, Michael's tie was almost all kinds of striped styles, showing stability and rationality. In such a relaxed occasion at home, you will also take off your suit and reveal your suspender pants or vest↓

However, his style is not static, such as the second part to Cuba to do business, the style is quite lively, often wearing a light-colored suit, with a printed silk scarf, full of tone.

There is also this kind of grainy linen suit, especially the gray match, which looks more elegant, and the light and thin material is more in line with the Cuban climate, which was a very advanced choice at that time.

As he grew older, Michael became more and more of a big guy, completely becoming a godfather who killed people without blinking, and the legs of Erlang became his representative action ↓ People don't talk much.

In the face of the big guy who talks about cooperation, you can also calmly cross Erlang's legs and despise everything ↓

Show no mercy to the betrayer, even if the other party is his own brother. At the end of The Godfather 2, as soon as his mother died, he ordered the execution of his second brother who betrayed him. Michael also wore a blood-red shirt that day, which looked very depressing and fit the plot perfectly.

The third part takes place in the late 1970s, when Michael, who has aged a lot of money and has amassed a lot of wealth, begins to whitewash the family's criminal industry and becomes a well-known businessman and philanthropist. With the change of class, dressing also follows the "upper class".

When receiving the Order of St. Sebastin, he wears a dress with gold thread embroidered on the neckline.

I also like to wear a delicately cut double-breasted suit every day, and a pocket towel is also indispensable↓

It is even worn on the tie with a neck stick, which is +1 in sophistication.

In addition, Michael is also older and more fancy, and his preference for ties has changed from stripes to jacquard, which neutralizes a lot of dullness.

Occasionally, there will be some jacquard neck scarves, which are getting more and more lively.

The film finally comes to 1997, Michael is already a dead year, although the dress can not be exquisite but still more exquisite, but the overall tone is revealed to be desolate. In the end, only a dog accompanied him, he ended his life in loneliness.

In terms of watches, in the first part, Michael, who is still a small white, wears an ordinary steel watch with a black belt. The black dial may be a military watch, most likely left behind during service.

After the second part became a big guy, it was immediately replaced by a large gold watch, such as this 14K gold Omega constellation series pie plate (which has been discontinued), and the price of the watch on the market is now 9500 US dollars.

By the third level upgrade, the big gold watch was too ostentatious, so he chose a relatively low-key style, and his net worth should not be cheap.

After talking about dressing, let's talk about the lifestyle of the second generation of godfathers.

The Corleone family first started by selling olive oil and operated mainly in New York during the old godfathers. In the second part, Michael moved his family to Lake Tahoe in Nevada, and his business was mainly in the casino, restaurant and other industries, accumulating a lot of family property. When I went to Cuba to talk about business, I was introduced to the entertainment industry tycoon.

Corleone home is also a lot of car mansions. Most of the trilogies are basically American cars, and the two generations of godfathers mainly have Cadillac and Dodge ↓

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="233" > When Michael went to visit the Jewish gangster Haimen Rose, he personally drove an orange-green ford Ferrand ↓ color matching is also quite stylish, and the color matching is inexplicably like the car driven by the Ace Ultraman TAC team. </h1>

The old godfather's home was set in Long Beach, New York, and later Michael moved his family to Lake Tahoe to buy a luxury estate.

Sitting on the amazing lake ↓

There are guards in and out ↓

It feels like the area is quite large, the greenery is also very good, and the forest can also be used as a parking lot ↓

In the third part, Michael is richer, founding a Vito Corleone Foundation named after the old godfather, donating to the Holy See, investing $600 million in the Vatican Bank, fighting for equity in real estate companies controlled by the Holy See, and laundering his own business to gradually legalize it.

As a rich third generation, Michael's children also began to stay away from fighting and killing. His son Anthony did not want to study law and could still sing and engage in art, and his daughter Mary, as the honorary president of the foundation, was also full of celebrities.

However, high society is not so mixed, strong as Michael, and has to lament that "the water is too deep to grasp".

Sooner or later, Michael, who came out of the mix, had to pay it back, and michael, who had exhausted the organs, finally could not escape the underworld's deception and bloody vendetta, and even his daughter's life was taken in. Al Pacino's last painful acting skills are also quite divine.

Featured supporting characters: different styles

After talking about the two godfathers, Fan Lord finally briefly talked about other more characteristic supporting roles, and their clothing is also very reflective of personality.

Sonny is the eldest son of the old godfather and Michael's eldest brother, and has been active in the gang as a successor. The daily style is basically only wearing a suit vest or suspender pants, and the vest and shirt are rarely buttoned, looking very grinning.

And the personality is very grumpy and impulsive, and it is fierce to beat people↓

But the end is to be beaten into a sieve ↓

Michael's second brother, Fredo, has a weak personality and is less capable. Watching his father being stabbed in front of his eyes, he couldn't hold the gun, and he was so panicked that he just knew how to cry.

The biggest hobby is to eat, drink and have fun, and dress either in a fancy way or in a riotous and proper image of a clumsy child.

The contrast with the calm brother is very clear ↓

The third-generation godfather, Vincent, is the illegitimate son of the grumpy eldest brother Sonny, who usually wears a leather coat with a red shirt and has the same irritable personality as his father.

He also likes to wear red every day, shoots when he doesn't agree, and has a fierce personality.

Later, Michael became the third generation of godfathers, and the "godfather standard" such as oil-headed black suits also followed suits.

Hayman Rose is Michael's nemesis in the second part, who understands the principle of gangsters wearing casual clothes and loves all kinds of knitwear at home

Meeting Michael and other peer bigwigs is also a standard low-key casual ↓

It is also worth mentioning that Jack Waltz, a Hollywood producer who appeared in the first part, was retaliated against by the old godfather for offending the godson of the old godfather, the big star Johnny.

As a big guy in the Hollywood entertainment industry, the dressing style is also more fancy and catching horses ↓

Usually, he also raised horses, one horse was worth six hundred thousand, and boasted that the Russian tsar did not spend so much money.

However, his mansion is very impressive, and the appearance is very grand.

The fountain in the home is said to have been used to decorate the palace.↓

The howe is actually the house of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, which was recently auctioned off for $190 million.

It is also a punching place for many celebrities, and Beyoncé has also filmed MVs here.
