Review of The Godfather (1972) by Phillip D — 02 Jan 2016

You know a film has historical weight when someone two generations removed can watch it and feel the power of the cast and the gravity of the words being spoken, despite having no connection to the era the film was made or set in.

The Godfather is a true epic tragedy, a fantastic piece of art in which Coppola, Pacino, Brando and all the rest come together in a symphony that has impacted everything about movies ever since its conception and stands with Apocalypse Now as proof that Coppola is one of, if not the greatest directors of all time.
