Review of The Godfather (1972) by Amo A R — 15 Sep 2014
Perfect movie. Perfect adaptation. I read the book and is very different from the movie, but this is how movie adaptations should be. Let the material speak for itself. Cast the best actor you can find for each role even if it doesn't match the book descriptions, even if the actor is not a famous face.
Take the essentials of the book, let the secondary characters go away. Make the movie last 3 hours if necessary even if that means less revenue. Don't downplay violence and sex. No book to movie adaptation has reached this level of perfection.
