The Godfather

Part1: I do not like the movie The Godfather. It has a few scenes that I enjoy but overall it's an extremely long and exhausting film. The movie made me feel like the Corleone family had way too much power as just a mob family. It amazes me how they have allies throughout the police and government and pretty much could get away with murder. The most lasting impression would have to be when Michael's wife was killed in Sicily soon before she was going to show Michael that she had learned to drive.

Part2: Vito Corleone is the center of the film because not only is he the Godfather he is the head of the family. He gives all of the orders, and pretty much all the moves that they make throughout the film are based on how he feels and what he would do. The way he speaks to all of his sons and workers; sharing his wisdom and experiences with them really sets us up for the ending. When Vito passed in the garden I felt that that was the best way he could die. It was great that he didn't die due to violence. When he passed we truly loss a giant, he was a great man who taught the men around me to be respectful and powerful.

Part3: Even though I don't like the movie, it could definitely be categorized as a classic. It really shows the emotional point of the movie. The mobsters aren't really viewed as mobsters; they all had real life problems like regular people. On the outside looking in you'd think that the Corleone's were untouchable, but after watching the movie I realized that people often tested them trying to gain just as much respect as them.
