  1. He appears in the very first scene and helps setting the mood, he's present during the entire wedding scene, he consults Johnny Fontane, he declines Sollozzo's offer, he gets nearly assassinated, he gets welcomed home after having been in the hospital, he's crying over Sonny's death, he arranges a meeting with all the Mafia bosses, he's got a touching conversation with Michael, and then he dies from a heart attack. How is that "barely on screen"? That's practically every important scene in the movie

  2.  @EthanButler  Hmmm, let's see here: - Who is the head of the Corleone family and defines the whole "seek advice to go against the politicians with corruption" concept? Vito Corleone - Who defines the literal family aspect of this Mafia story? Vito Corleone. - Who defines the "Make him an offer he can't refuse" aspect of the story? Vito Corleone - What is the point-of-attack in the story? Virgil Sollozzo offers drugs that Vito Corleone refuses to buy because it will ruin his political contacts. - What is the inciting incident of the story? Vito Corleone gets almost assassinated - What is the driving motivation behind Michael's function to the story? His father Vito almost getting assassinated and therefore a desire to seek revenge - What is the driving motivation behind Don Barzini's function to the story? Vito Corleone being too strong of a Mafia head and therefore he wishes to assassinate him so that the Barzini family rises to the top - Who is attempting to make peace with the other Mafia families to stop the entire war between them? Vito Corleone - What is the true conflict of the story? Disloyalty towards Vito Corleone; Sonny takes his advice for granted and gets assassinated as a result, the other Mafia heads wish to eliminate him and they eventually get assassinated, while Michael Corleone was the only one who was truly loyal to him and he therefore rose to the top - What is the story culminating with? Michael Corleone carrying on his father Vito's legacy Bottom line; every intrigue is connected to Vito Corleone's function to the story, and so is every character motivation

  3. He didn't win; he was only nominated

  4. 1. Vito Corleone is the point-of-view character, so he's the protagonist. Every intrigue in the film is connected to his role in the story, and every character's motivation is also directly connected to him. Even the function of Michael Corleone in the story is directly connected to him. 2. Every major key scene has Vito Corleone in focus; the opening scene, the wedding, Johnny Fontane's role, Sollozzo's offer, the assassination attempt, the meeting with all the Mafia bosses, his touching conversation with Michael where he informs him about Barzini's assassination attempt, and of course his death

  5. I've seen a video with every scene he's featured in, and it's 40 minutes long. Villains usually have 20-30 minutes of screen time or even less

  6. How the hell does he have little screen time? He's featured in almost every scene after being introduced with the exception of the parts where the Narrator doesn't understand where he is

  7.  @aazimahmed4932  If it wasn't for Vito Corleone, then there would be no conflict, intrigues, or character motivation at all. "The Godfather is all about the change in Michael's characters" Nope, did you even watch the movie?: - Backstory: Vito is the head of the Corleone family and the main person to seek advice from when a conflict is too difficult to handle legally - Subplot: Johnny Fontane seeks advice from Vito to get the movie role, highlighting the corruption of the Mafia family that, Vito is head of - Point of attack: Sollozzo offers drugs that Vito declines because it would ruin his political contacts - Inciding incident: Vito gets almost assassinated - Don Barzini's motivation: eliminate Vito because the Corleone family is on top - Michael's motivation: Get revenge on Don Barzini because Sollozzo (one of Barzini's goons) almost assassinated his father Vito - First central conflict: War between the Mafia families that Vito attempts to make peace with - Hidden central conflict: Disloyalty towards Vito since everyone who's either against him or refuses to take advice from him meets their doom, while Michael was the only one who truly listened to him and therefore rose to the top - Main culmination: carrying on Vito's legacy Bottom line; every intrigue and relevant plotline is centred around the supporting cast's relationship with Vito
