Simply put, my favorite movie not involving outer space or general horror. I mean look at the cast, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Talia(Yo Adrian!) Shire. There is so much I can talk about, the acting, the story(based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel). It's the rare perfect movie that can mix action, story, and acting.</p>&#13; <p>If you do not know, the movie is based on ten years in the lives of the Corleone family, who are about to make their rise as the most powerful mafia family in the country. We see Vito's near-assasination and eventual death, Michael's doubts about entering the family business, Sonny's hot temper and Fredo's indeceiveness.</p>&#13; <p>Eventually, Michael takes control and things get more intense from there on. We see a rather gripping scene where as his godson is being baptized,his henchmen going around wiping out the five families of New York, all while Michael is asked to renounce Satan. Very gripping moment.</p>&#13; <p>Of course, the 1972 film is followed...</p>... Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:45:33 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Godfather-review-ce3d2 Steelthunder 5
