Godfather

One of the greatest films and novels of all time, The Godfather by Mario Puzo is the book that I chose to write my report about. This book falls under the drama and crime fiction genres, due to its dramatic story of people being shot and murdered. The Godfather takes place in New York during the years 1945-1955, right after World War II. Most of the story is written from a narrator 's perspective, save for two points in the book in which the story becomes a first person point of view. One of the

The Godfather opens in 1945 as the Don Vito oversees the wedding of his only daughter Connie. His beloved son Michael returns from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire where he went after returning from World War II. He deeply disappointed his father by joining the Marines and not being part of the family business. During the wedding, the Don is sitting in his dark corner room receiving the people who ask him favours. As a self-respecting Sicilian man, Vito

I believe the most important message in this story is to not abuse power. In the beginning of the story a man was looking for a godfather for his son, the Lord was first to show up but the man said no because the Lord was not fair, then the devil showed up but the devil was rejected because he cheats. Then death shows up and the man believes he will be a good godfather because death takes every person and is not bias.

The God Father uses various camera techniques, such as visual obstruction

Vito Corleone, the “godfather” of the family is a very diverse character. He is intelligent, clever and an excellent speaker. Like the tagline of the movie, he frequently makes an “offer he can’t refuse”. Another trait is his ability to read people, especially during Bonasera’s plea to the don. He is also a ruthless person, if he cannot deal with words, guns and bullets will. Even with his supposed evil, he is seen as many as a very loving father and many people love him.

The Godfather and Goodfellas are both considered “mafia movies.” Both of these films portray some form of organized crime committed by Italians. They mutually romanticize the mob lifestyle and depict it with pure clarity.

Vito Caleone does not want anything to do with drugs because he believes they will be the downfall of the Mafia. The story, covering a ten year time period, offers a rich tapestry of Mafia life from the inside, drawing the audience

When his father is shot though, Michael takes revenge on the people who did it and becomes a part of the Mafia lifestyle.
