Movie Reviews of The Godfather (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Godfather is the tops
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is a classic. The charictors were well done and well played by the actors who were chosen. It is a movie men would like (a bit on the bloody side for women unless you are into that). The historic costuming is right on and the sceanery is breathtaking. Marlon Brando is wonderful as the Godfather and Al Pachino followed the legasy. A must see for the fans of both.
Summary of The Godfather (Widescreen Edition)
Generally acknowledged as a bona fide classic, this Francis Ford Coppola film is one of those rare experiences that feels perfectly right from beginning to end--almost as if everyone involved had been born to participate in it. Based on Mario Puzo's bestselling novel about a Mafia dynasty, Coppola's Godfather extracted and enhanced the most universal themes of immigrant experience in America: the plotting-out of hopes and dreams for one's successors, the raising of children to carry on the good work, etc. In the midst of generational strife during the Vietnam years, the film somehow struck a chord with a nation fascinated by the metamorphosis of a rebellious son (Al Pacino) into the keeper of his father's dream. Marlon Brando played against Puzo's own conception of patriarch Vito Corleone, and time has certainly proven the actor correct. The rest of the cast, particularly James Caan, John Cazale, and Robert Duvall as the rest of Vito's male brood--all coping with how to take the mantle of responsibility from their father--is seamless and wonderful. --Tom KeoghTraces the story of the Corleone family's rise and near fall from the pinnacle of power in the world of organized crime, and the passage of power from father to son.
