“When did I ever refuse an accommodation?”

This movie It’s to live by sone of the quotes
“ women and children can be careless but never men”

“ the one who comes to make the peace. He is the traitor in the family “

“ try to think like others like you “.

And so many many more

In this meeting there’s a lot of things that we can all take from Don Corleone as a boss.
1) Listen before talking

2) Don’t trust anyone sitting at the table

3) Make peace before revenge

4) Know who you’re dealing but identify the source of the problem

Don Corleone did all of this and just one scene he did not trust anybody in the commission, he listened to what the commission wanted from him, he knew who was the source of the problem. and the only way to truly have peace was to make peace and then take revenge later.

Companion saying - "Never tell anyone outside the family what you're thinking." After Sonny showed a lack of self control and tried to butt in between Don Vito and Solozzo and express disdain and a lack of trust in the Tattaglia family. Why the lack of control by Sonny? "All that comedy you're playing with that young goirl."

What I love about Don Vito is that he also used his defeat as strategic tactic in this meeting to subtly get more info on who made the plan to go to war with Corleone’s.

The moment Brazini spoke out of turn to reinforce an egotistical and dominant point that the Mob had the right demand and take what they want was the very moment when Vito realized that it was him the whole time.

Genius and pure Machiavelianism!

@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 It also reveals Stracci's involvement. Out of all of them, the one boss Barzini called on sounded sympathetic to Vito, but he proposed the compromise which was clearly Barzini's plan all along. That means that Stracci and his family were working with or for Barzini.
I'm sure Barzini realized that Vito would figure things out eventually, and if so, the hidden message was that at least three of the five families were united against the Corleones and they couldn't win a war.
Vito calling this meeting was clever. Getting all the bosses into one room meant he had a chance to smoke out the real mastermind and discover who Barzini's allies were. Also, in front of so many powerful dons, it would incredibly tempting for the mastermind to reveal his cards and show off his victory and position of power in front of his peers. Maybe for bargaining leverage, or maybe just out of ego. Barzini couldn't resist and so was unmasked.

@vanmoody

What bosses really meant was not to get caught because when their people did sell drugs they expected their cut. You are right though in that the long prison sentences from drugs was the downfall because it created those who were willing to testify against their families.

Not literally, but it caused more grief for the Mob -- as Paulie said in "Goodfellas," this friend of his got to spend his golden years in prison because someone in his family/crew was involved in a big drug deal without his knowledge. And that's why the guys were going to kill Henry -- he was facing SO much jail time there was a big likelihood that he'd rat them out (which he did).

Not only do I agree with you I also see Tattaglia throw a number of frustrated glances at Brazini, especially when Brazini throws cold water on his attempt to get assurances. “You can almost see him say, you’re getting what you wanted while I was the only one who put his ass on the line.” I think he was genuinely grateful to Corleone for giving him the assurance. He had to have been frustrated that Brazini and the other families had tried to keep their hands clean when they all wanted to open up the drug trade. In a way Tattaglia was much a victim of a Brazini and his machinations as Vito.

You will never be able to stop the human desire for mind altering substances.

Moreover, all drugs were legal and quite easy to get before 1920 and the fabric of society wasn’t unraveled, and in fact people tend to see that as the gold old days.

The drug war has no moral or legal basis. It’s just another way for the government to produce crime.

Here’s a hint: it’s illegal but there’s heroin in your neighborhood anyway. In fact, there’s more heroin in your neighborhood and the heroin is more dangerous because of it.

Try and watch 'The Conspiracy' starring Kenneth Branagh. The whole movie is a long meeting about Nazis discussing the plans for the Jewish genocide.

@MrDts1907

For the people who ask how Vito found out it was Barzini: Because this supposed to be a peace meeting between Corleone and Tattaglia, all the other parties were there to maintain this peace. However as Tattaglia started talking about "politicians and judges that Corleone keeps in his pockets," we see Barzini backing his statement, saying if they are friends they should share. So almost everybody in the room want Vito's politicians and judges to push their drugs easily. Vito knows once he uses his influence for a dirty business as drugs, there is no going back, his reputation would get ruined. But for profit, Barzini and Tattaglia don't give a shit, they want to exploit Vito's influence. So now on Barzini's insisting for this 'co-operation' on drug business, Vito knows it wasn't only Tattaglia or Solozzo demanding his support for drugs, Don Barzini was the mastermind behind this demand.

@misonoresoconto

8y↑20

[Spolier Alert! Plot points revealed] Yes, Vito actually does keep his word. Remember, the chronology of scenes is not the chronology of what the characters know. For dramatic purposes, the scene where Apollonia dies comes before this scene of the meeting of the five families. Yet, while we see the murder attempt on Michael first, it actually would have come after the five families meeting. Remember, Michael does not find out about Sonny's death right away, only until some time later. Michael, while still in Sicily, is informed, "Brutta notizia da America" {Bad news from America} and is informed of Sonny's murder. Then, in the following scence there is an attempt on Michael's life which accidentally kills Apollonia. But by the time Michael learns of Sonny's death, Vito has already called for a meeting of the five families. Vito calls for this meeting immediately after Tom Hagen informs him that Sonny is dead. So, Vito has the meeting with the families first and only after the meeting is there an attempt on Michael's life. Vito learns of Sonny's murder right away and calls the meeting. Michael only learns of Sonny's murder some time later. This is not the strict chronology of the sequences of the film but it is in keeping with the chronology of what the characters know: Michael and Vito are acting out in parallel time. So, because the families were warned not to attempt to kill Michael and there was an attempt on Michael's life, this was something Vito warned the heads of the five families not to do or he would "blame some of the people in this room and that I do not forgive". It doesn't happen sequentially -- we see the murder attempt first but by then the five families meeting would have already taken place. Director Coppola liked to play with time and did so to great effect later in "The Godfather Part II".

@rosearnold791

Vito Corleone had plans all along. He was going to get revenge on those responsible for Sonny's life and to save Michael's life. This is why he became Michael's advisor.

Vito Corleone avenged the death of his family his father his mother his brother. It was years in the making but he did it.
