Showpiece moments like Apollonia's car trouble are big and full, the screaming of the subway train outside Louis' Restaurant is more stress-inducing than ever, and gunshots always pack a jolt. Often the differences are subtle in their impact, as when the chirping of cicadas gives an outdoor scene palpable ambiance, or someone coughs offscreen, or the floorboards creak. īrand-new Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mixes have been created for these Blu-ray reissues. All are presented in their original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. It is the most colorful but also suffers from the evident grain. Part III, the most recent, always looked fine and is better than ever here. A small amount of negative dirt, which shows up as white specks, is still here. THE GODFATHER 2 SUBTITLES MOVIEEach movie fits onto its own single 50GB disc, and the compression yields backgrounds that are occasionally soft and artificial in appearance. I'm catching bits for the first time, like the monogram on Sonny Corleone's shirt or the amount written on the check ($50,000) that Michael hands to Senator Geary. It is used more so in Part II, for the young Vito flashbacks, again to exquisite effect.īright scenes however are a joy to watch, benefiting from the refreshed colors while not marred by the grain. Cinematographer Gordon Willis employed a golden tint that had heretofore bordered on dingy, but is now revealed as a classic, nostalgic tone that works beautifully. There is however a life in the colors, a newness, including shades that I've never seen in these movies before. While not present every moment, a layer of grain is frequently noticeable and is the greatest handicap of this remastered trilogy, especially in the darker scenes. One of the most marked differences over all previous video editions is the natural quality to the blacks, which are deep and believable. Prior cleanup attempts had made some improvement, but not nearly on the scale of The Coppola Restoration. Add in the less-than-perfect quality of film stock circa 1971 and the abundance of dark, dark scenes, and we were left with a soft, murky mess for far too long on home video. The success of the film necessitated many duplicate prints being copied off of the original film negative. Several factors have left the physical elements for the Godfathers in horrible condition. THE GODFATHER 2 SUBTITLES HOW TOI know how they all end, so no worries about spoiled surprises, but the included vignette about the restoration helped me figure out what to look for, how to appreciate what we've been given in this significant new set. Godfather was an uncommon instance where I actually wanted to watch one of the featurettes, "Emulsional Rescue," before the movie itself. The truth is that this movie was made for the wrong reasons, to cash in on the Godfather name and mystique, and so ultimately it fails on multiple, profound levels. My DVD does have 8 subtitle tracks, 3 of which are English.Much of the blame for the poor reception of Part III has been placed on actress (and later writer/director) Sofia Coppola, who replaced Winona Ryder after she dropped out of the role of daughter Mary Corleone at the last minute, citing health concerns. I sometimes test on a small section at very low quality first because Handbrake takes so long. THE GODFATHER 2 SUBTITLES FULLI am now running handbrake on the Iso of the full film. I thought at first Handbrake was using a specific subtitle track, but it seems to measure the amount of foreign language. So I made a new Iso with a few extra scenes and Handbrake recognised the foreign language sections as foreign and burned in the subtitles. The problem was that when handbrake scans the subtitles if the proportion of foreign language compared to English is not low enough it doesn't acknowledge it as foreign. I was using an smaller iso of only 3 scenes, one of which is the Italian language scene where Michael meets his future father in law. I was testing the "foreign audio search" with "forced only" ticked and "burned in" ticked on Handbrake. Non of the 3 English subtitle tracks would burn in manually and I still don't know why. ![]() Sure, it was a uk DVD that I ripped using k9copy to an iso. ![]()
