Movie Review: The Godfather
I decided that my next revie needs to be on a classic so I chose the recipient of the Best Picture of 1972. Mario Puzo's The Godfather. The actors Al Paccino and Marlin Brando really did the characters to the point to where you actually thought that is really happened.
Marlon Brando plays the father (Vito Corleone) and head of the mob which is located in New York. People come to him when they need somebody. But he ends up almost getting killed by a rival gang which ends up starting a war and his son Michael (Al Paccino) ends up getting himself involved by killing two of the guys involved with the attempt on his father. Afterward he has to go into hiding in Italy and is getting protection from the Cecilian mob. Michael ends up falling in love and he gets married. Back in America his brother Sonney is gunned down on the way to see their sister, and to kill her husband because he would beat her senseless and when word reaches Michael he is about to leave when he sees his guard run and then his wife starts up the car and the car explodes. When Michael comes back to America he is now head of the mob because his father is too sick to do it. So after his father dies of illness, Michael ends up having the other mob leaders wacked as well as his brother in law for setting sonney up. It ends with his wife (his girl friend until he went to Italy) asking him if he had anything to do with his brother in laws death and Michael responds "No"
