What movie?

What is the exact duration of the scene?

Are you supposed to understand what’s going on?

Often times, foreign language scenes are intentionally unclear - they are meant to not be understood. I don’t know whether this is one of those scenes, but those seems to exist.

Lmao do you not recognize The Godfather Part II? Thats wild to me!

It's a long scene and a lot of scenes are in Italian and you are supposed to understand it because the dialogue is part of the plot.

It’s not that shocking to me. The movie is 52 years old. Classic or not, once something is 5 decades old the majority of people aren’t going to have seen it. The median age in the US is just shy of 39, so most people* are more than a decade younger than the movie

*edit: people in the US
