The Godfather is story about family and the American dream. This film is at times brutal, terrifying but ultimately it’s a film about a family and a family that is ruthless and will do whatever they have to in order to protect each other.
The Corleone’s are such a large family and you would think all of these characters would cause overcrowding but the performances are so memorable that you don’t dismiss family members. The character who had the most drastic transition was Michael. In the beginning of the film Michael seemed to be against what his father did and didn’t want to have anything to do with the family business. It is clear that Michael has distanced himself from the family but when Don Vito is in critical condition he does everything
