Review of The Godfather (1972) by Erik B — 14 Dec 2013
The Godfather seems to have this intimidation factor about it. Like all great cinema, people who have never seen it don't hold as much interest. It appears "too big" for some (that's what she said), and too "great" for others. More pessimistic film fans will call the film overrated based on it's legendary status. Now, where do I stand on this film?
Shut up and see it already. That's what I say.
The Godfather is a classic for a reason and that reason is clear to see when you actually watch the film. Upon first viewing, I found the first part to be a little dense, but it eventually sucked me in. Now, whenever I revisit it, I'm totally blown away every time. It's such an intricate, emotional, intense picture. An absolute landmark in cinematic history.
