GODFATHER of Movies
Is Godfather the Godfather of all Movies? I Say Hell Yeah it is. After watching The Godfather I have been recommending to all my friends to see it and they have come out with different opinions. Okay, Amazing, Slow, Boring, AL PACINO was god!

I don’t certainly know what your opinion on the movie is but the
next time someone comes to me say he/she didn’t like Godfather, I will just say
read my blog because this is why it is the best movie for me
1. The acting. One of the best and deepest casts ever assembled. Brando created one of the most iconic characters in the history of movies with a couple of cottonballs in his mouth and some specific mannerisms and speech affects.
2. The story, particularly the arc of Michael, who starts out appearing to be clean cut and innocuous - the "good" kid - who is slowly revealed to be the coldest and most ruthless member of the family.
3. The dialogue. The dialogue is compelling, intelligent, and thought provoking from the first scene to the last.
4. Great individual scenes -- Sonny beating the shit out of Carlo, ""Leave the gun, take the cannoli," the horse head, Michael shooting Solozzo and the cop, the final scene, the movie is full of indelible moments.
5. I think it might help to know that The Godfather essentially originated the mob movie genre. There had been movies about mobsters before, but this was original in not only making them portages, but giving them an internal moral code and an at least partially sympathetic gloss. It was a new and original angle at the time.
6. The direction -- the music choices, the cinematography, the look, sound and lighting that all created a specific mood and sense of time and place.
7. Movie Brain – people who watch movies and understand them are the only ones who are going to like the setup shown in Godfather. To like some movie as good as The Godfather, the viewers need to have a movie sense. They just cannot sit and watch the movie and comment on it. It is disrespectful.
