Review of The Godfather (1972) by Terence B — 16 Jan 2016
The Godfather was not what I expected it to be. The highly recommended novel and Academy Award-winning film did not meet my expectations. I had to force myself to watch the whole film and even after doing that the only way for me to describe the first part of this organised-crime saga is: 'bearable'.
I found the storyline very confusing, the different point of views should have given me a better insight on the Don Corleone family but what they did to me is confuse me even more. Maybe I just can't relate to Italian mafia families.
What I did find very impressing is that the film followed the book fairly closely. The film didn't deal with Vito Corleone's early life like the book did though.
