The Godfather: The Classic Mafia Movie The Godfather is a 1972 American crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by Albert S. Ruddy from a screenplay by Mario Puzo and Coppola. The film stars Marlon Brando and Al Pacino as the leaders of a fictional New York crime family. The story, spanning 1945 to 1955, chronicles the family under the patriarch Vito Corleone (Brando), focusing on the transformation of Michael Corleone (Pacino) from a reluctant family outsider to a ruthless mafia boss. The back story of Vito Corleone from early childhood to adulthood is also explored in the movie. The Godfather explained The film portrays a fictionalized account of the Mafia crime family headed by Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) during the mid-20th century in New York City. The film begins when "Don" Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafia "family," oversees his daughter's wedding with his wife, Carmela. His beloved son Michael has just come home from war but does not intend to become part of his father's business. We begin to understand what the family business actually is through Michael's life: kind and benevolent for those who give respect; ruthless violence for anything that stands against good or opposes it under any circumstances whatsoever - even if they are considered friends or family members themselves! Don Vito lives according to old country values passed down by their ancestors, but times keep evolving. The clash between old-world morals vs. new ways will demand an awful price that requires a lot of sacrifices. At the same time, some refuse change altogether-making way too many enemies along the way- people intent on destroying them at all costs. An up-and-coming rival wants nothing more than money from the sale of drugs in New York. However, he can't further his plans without acquiring Con Coreleone's influence. This leaves many dead, including close relatives and friends, leaving behind collateral damage that tarnishes the family's reputation. The Godfather Lineup The ensemble cast was absolutely perfect and included some of Hollywood's most renowned actors. Marlon Brando created one of cinema's most iconic bad guys as Don Corleone – he was merciless yet charismatic. Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando): As an old man, Vito is a shrewd mafia boss known as the 'Godfather." He was a ruthless and ambitious Sicilian immigrant in New York's Little Italy in his younger years. Vito, a man of few words, is a clever, wise, and compassionate leader. The character loves and cares deeply for his children. He is also very protective of his family and often worries about their safety of them. However, he resorts to violence when necessary. Sonny Corleone (James Caan): The oldest son of Vito Corleone. Sonny was the oldest son of Vito Corleone. He spent most of his time at nightclubs getting drunk with friends like Carlo Rizzi (Gianni Russo). Sonny had a hot temper and would act impulsively without thinking about the consequences first. The very reason why he wasn't in line to become the next Don. Michael Corleone (Al Pachino): He's the youngest son, and his father is the Don of their crime family. In the beginning, Michael stays in school and doesn't involve himself in the family business. However, after his father dies, he becomes more involved as he begins to take over as Don. Michael's personality changes throughout Godfather I. In the beginning, he's good-hearted and doesn't want to get involved in mob activity. But by the end of it, he's cold-hearted and willing to do anything for power. This change was caused by his family being threatened, which led him to a more ruthless mindset. Fredo Corleone (John Cazale): The second son of Vito, who spends more time with his mother than with any other person or thing. He has been described as a weak link because he does not have the same leadership ability or intelligence as most other family members. However, Fredo does not have a strong personality or backbone, making it easy for people to manipulate him. Conclusion The Godfather is a movie masterpiece. It has won three Academy Awards and been nominated for seven more, including Best Picture and Best Director. The movie is one of the best because of its universal themes and masterful storytelling. Also, the movie is regarded as one of the most influential, with its influence felt in other media through adaptations or similar violent storylines. It is considered one of the greatest American films ever made. Even if you haven't seen the movie before or know anything about it, give it a watch because it is worth your time. |
