THE GODFATHER: PART I Francis Ford Coppola Starring Marlon Brando Al Pacino James Caan Robert Duvall Diane Keaton Without question or doubt, many critics will agree that The Godfather is one of the greatest movies ever made. The structure, acting, direction, editing, score and unique focus on the mafia as a family construct, defending a group from a prejudice society as opposed to a roaming gang of vicious hoodlums, are all immaculate. The only point I will make is why I have opted for The Godfather: Part I rather than the seemingly more acclaimed Part II. The argument is simple, Part II is a beautiful piece of work that expands the characters to unparalleled heights but it is a sequel to one of the greatest movies ever made and could only fall short or equal it, never surpass. Either way, I believe this to be a true example of perfect cinema and one of the greatest stories ever put to the screen. |
