The Godfather Research Paper

Decent Essays
I give The Godfather four stars out of four stars. It is an excellent movie. The first thing that makes The Godfather an excellent movie is the music score. The music fit with the movie perfectly. The composers of the songs did an excellent job composing pieces that fit with the scene. The final song, composed by Nino Rota, is very memorable. From now on, whenever I hear Rota’s song, I will think of The Godfather. The action is the second thing that makes The Godfather an excellent movie. The Godfather is a gangster movie set in the late 1940s and 1950s. The action in this movie deals mostly with assassinations and the gunning down of important figures. The actions are typically preceded by intense moments of suspense, leaving the audience

The movie had very good transitions.…

    The deviation from genre conventions is why this movie gets such a positive review from the critic. The movie seems familiar yet totally different at the same time. It follows some of the genre conventions like the plot and setting but it truly makes its mark as a film with the way it is different from anything that has ever been put on screen before. Martin Scorsese’s innovation in the way he makes the actors behave in certain ways or uses the silence to add a dramatic effect shows that by not following genre conventions you can still end up making a film that is a commercial…

    The Phantom of the Opera has proven to be a fantastic musical and Broadway classic for multiple reasons. To begin, many times lingering in one's head, the soundtrack to The Phantom of the Opera features dramatic and emotion filled music. From utilizing volume and dynamics, Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer, has brilliantly utilized music to keep one captivate in the show between and during intense mood changes. Aside from just the sound, the writers have made heart touching lyrics to further lure the audience in such as “wildly my mind beats against you, but my soul obeys ” in Wandering Child when the Phantom shows up at Christine's father’s grave and tries to show her how he has always been there for her and take her back.

    Casablanca is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, and it’s not hard to see why. Coming at a time when the world needed it most, the film brings comedy and romance to a dark situation. It is often considered a noir film because if this darkness, but it’s lightheartedness, along with other elements, keeps it from falling into the gloomy genre. Released only a year apart, Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon share multiple commonalities, which fuels the debate over whether or not Casablanca is a noir film. The most obvious similarity between the two is the three actors who star in both films, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet.…

The reason being is that the scene is intense and sound design plays an immense role in it. The use of it complements the visuals brilliantly and helps the viewer understand what is happening in the characters’ heads. The scene is full of suspense and a balanced mixture of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds accurately underlines that.…

    Many of the singing and dancing scenes were shot seamlessly using a single take. I assume that the camera is on a track similar to a train during the “Good Morning” song because the actors move from room to room but the camera shot remains the same and follows them throughout the set. Close-up shots were used almost exclusively for kissing and other intimate scenes which I felt helped the viewer understand the emotions that the characters were feeling. I think the cinematography used in this movie was very progressive for the time period and deserves a four out of five stars. This gives the movie an overall average of 4.17…
