The Godfather

wise as Daniel in the Old Testament. It looked like a large rat (although I later learned it was a opossum), and I declared his name as Johnny. Johnny was large, probably five pounds or more, with large teeth and a long tail, almost longer than the Godfather Part Ⅱ. Compared to my childish size, Johnny seemed enormous. He was almost as large as Brobdingnag. It appeared as if Johnny was dead. I later learned, however, that opossums act dead when in fear. Without thinking of the consequences, I…

question the morality of bygone ages. However, the most compelling question that contemporary readers ask is that despite the presence of low and order in current societies, the same barbarous world is represented in works such as Mario Puzo’s The Godfather. This simultaneous universe in the two works is what Messenger…

thoughts of how and when one will die. The possibility of death can be next week, tomorrow, or maybe even today. The story, “Godfather Death,” by Jacob and Willhelm Grimm told the story of a poor man with twelve children who worked day and night to support his family. When his thirteenth child came into the world, the father was unable to support him and decided to find a godfather to take care of this child. He chose Death because he treated everyone equally unlike God who gave to the rich,…

The news December 5th brought to our ears, the news that Steven had died, was news none of us were expecting, at least not yet. We knew the sad news of that day would come, but not yet; maybe ten or fifteen years down the road. After all, that’s the way we think it is supposed to work. We know there are accidents and mishaps, but generally, we think the death of our loved ones is way off – in the distant future. And so, when the unexpected happens, like that of two Mondays past, we’re tempted to…

The film The Godfather is regarded as one of the greatest film of all times by imdb, rotten tomatoes, and almost every other film site for its great character progression, questioning of the American dream, and perfect cinematography. The Godfather was directed by Francis Ford Coppola in 1972. Starring Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone. The Godfather’s construction persuades its audience to like Vito Corleone because of how much Vito loves his family, his ethics, and the way he’s represented more…

4. Cinematography A. The Godfather The films usually use the common tracking style in order to keep tabs of the characters. Often, the camera would close-up to the character being emphasized by the current narrative. The camera mostly drones from character to character, focusing mostly on Vito, Michael, Sonny and Tom. Events are also pointed out with focus; some pivotal and important scenes are often given emphasis even after the action is long done. The camera would also transition smoothly…

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…

are drafting the first of many blueprints of a bomb that will eventually force the Japanese out of World War II. Several thousand miles away, church bells ring for my great-grandfather and his new wife in Italy. Just like Michael Corleone in The Godfather, he is wearing his military uniform. I pass by their wedding pictures whenever I visit him, lining the cracked wallpaper of his room in a local nursing home. He has Alzheimer’s now, and the majority of his speech consists of horrifying swear…

Sammy wants the girls to notice his heroics which make him less of a hero. A hero doesn't expect to be noticed, or rewarded for his/her actions. I think the audience has a clearer understanding of Sammy's personality rather than the doctor in "Godfather Death".…

The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare, are compositions that are so similarly structured but differ on some intertwining details. Both oeuvres have the principal characters illustrated alike. Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, and Michael Corleone, son of the godfather, both begin as relegated characters who are somewhat perceived as ineffective and innocent. They are abruptly prone to become extremely different personalities in contrast to their…
