Review of The Godfather Part II (1974) by Parker S — 02 Jul 2012
I chose to review this as a chunk rather than singular movies since I saw them in a one week period so the end and start of each one is kind of a blur. Anyway, these are some of the greatest movies I've ever seen.
The 1st and 2nd I'll discuss first. Well, you know, they are extremely good. True epics that sprawl decades of fantastic story lines. Very enthralling, The Godfather part 1 and 2 are marvels of cinema.
I don't want to sit here drooling over them, although I could, so I'll keep this shorter than I'd like. Undeniable classics that boast some of the greatest acting ever seen in the theaters and some of the greatest, most realistic writing as well.
Realism is a word that seems to pop up in my head whenever I think about them. A constant sense of actual darkness and stress hangs over the films lush and beautiful set designs that is rare in movies back then and nowadays.
The atmosphere is also stunning; fascinatingly haunting and dangerous. What I can separate from the two films though is that the second is darker, more violent and travels further; going back in time and to other locations.
I enjoyed the first more, but its really close. No need to go any further, you all know it's a great movie.
