The Godfather
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Adapted from Mario Puzo's Novel
The Godfather (1972), is an American Gangster Film, which telling about associate criminal family to conquer a power around the city of new York.
This film was adapted from novel with same name from writer Mario Puzo, “The Godfather”. The cast on this film played by many big actor. Starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Richard S Castelano, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keaton. Most of this cast was honored and get many respect from among the Hollywood actor.
The Godfather is one of The Best movie, which on second place, below Citizen Kane film based on AFI’s 100 years 100 movies (10th Anniversary Edition) by American Film Institute.
The Godfather, take story on 1945 september, where The Big Boss is Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) became The Godfather, who rule all the associate family mob in New York city. With his consigliere Tmo Hagen (Robert Duvall) trying to build a dynasty and negotiate with other associate mob family on territory struggle.
The conflict came when The Godfather was shot by other family mob, and his sons Sonny Corleone (James Caan) and The Youngest Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), where Michael is the only of Don Vito’s son who never involved on crime mob family trying to payback a revenge to family mob that was involved on his father’s shooting.
After the payback revenge has done from Michael, he was hided to Italy, exact on sicilia, a place where his father was born. It all because Michael has kill one of corrupt New York police, captain McCluskey (Sterling Hayden) and Sollozo.
After that, The Third Corleone brother, Fredo Corleone (John Cazale), was sent to Las Vegas, where he protected by casino operator who has been involve on associate Five families.
While the police and other authorities begin to hunt down on mafia activity, Don Vito is particularly distressed when he learns of michael’s involvement, since he had planned for Michael to remain uninvolved in the “family business”
However, the conflict more heat up, when Michael came back from Italy, and continue his father position, after The Godfather’s resign. Don Vito trusted Michael because he is the most lovely son that Don Vito’s ever had, despite of Michael intelligence and smart decision. The treason and power conquer became so epic after Michael was trusted by his father. At the end this film make the audience grip and tense at the edge of the seat for watching it.
I think this is the best film ever. As we can see how the story adapted by Mario puzo’s novel became so great when Francis Ford Coppola as Director, transfer the story into a great movie ever. Coppola make this film the best as he can, too direct and make this movie so tense and thrilling at the end. Mario puzo also involved and working as screenplay in this film.
Despite from the great story adaptation, this film was starring by many great actor. Many actor of this film, became a big actor until now, as we can see Al Pacino, James Caan, and Robert Duvall still playing many movie right now.
Francis Ford Coppola making a great decision, from casting star. Marlon Brando played The Best as Don Vito Corleone, and Winning Academy Award as Best Actor at that time.
While Michael Corleone’s played by Al Pacino was the best role he ever act. Even many of movie magazine stated that the role (Michael Corleone) is the number one role Al Pacino ever played by. The other cast also bring the effect on this film, creating a good chemistry among other cast involvement.
The greatest thing in this film, is how good Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo working together to create a one of the best movie of all time from novel and resurrect on film media and played by many great actor Hollywoos ever had.
peace
