Review of The Godfather (1972) by Alex A — 26 Jan 2015
A transcending classic, The Godfather is violent when necessary, but simultaneously elegant. It's beautifully shot, powerfully acted, the score is flamboyant, you sympathize, relate with and see where its admittedly criminal characters are coming from, and its depiction of the mafia is nearly spot-on.
It's a milestone of film making quality that to this day has made the test of time "sleep with the fishes". The Godfather is an organized crime epic touching on loyalty, family, trust, and deceit with genuine character/story arcs and a superb script.
