The Godfather

After the Revolutionary War, the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (W.A.S.P.s) were in power, they held all the political offices; they owned the most land, they had the most profitable businesses, and the largest factories. They enjoyed being in control of everything and they wanted to keep that control and power. After the Civil War more immigrants were coming to America to their share of the wealth they believed America had. These immigrants now were coming from all over the world, not just…

Without Don Vito Corleone’s autocratic leadership, his multimillion dollar mafia empire would have been destroyed the second the bullet penetrated his body. Looking past the moral corruptions, murderous rampages, and severed horse heads, The Godfather movie provided valuable lessons in strategic planning for the long-term survival of an organization through strong leadership. By analyzing several scenes, we can determine that Don Vito was the single leader, with unwavering loyal followers, and…

childhood he portrayed the life of the gangster from his childhood perspective and started Goodfellas with the line: "As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster.". In a way he painted a portrait of gangster royalty just like Velasquez did. What this did in the film itself could be the same thing that happened in this film, it introduced instability in a previously stable system of representation, or at least it seemed like a stable system of representation, but there are…

short stories is the resolution; the resolution is the final phase of the story. It is the “what happens next” element, it is the fate of the characters. In “Godfather Death” the resolution, which is ironic to the story, is death. After the physician disobeys the godfather, he is taken to his undergrounded cavern to meet his final fate. The godfather then shows him different candles that have different people's lifespans in them. “These are the life-lights of mankind. The large ones belong to…

This paper asks, did the mafia (from its ties to politicians, money, and systems in place) affect the way that Italy’s republic…

I love mob movies. One of my favorites being The Godfather. The first time I saw it, I was very young when I watched it with my mother. When the movie was over, my mom was talking about the actors, the performances, and how great the movie was. All I could think about was the message. The message in mob movies is equivalent to the message of human nature. It all starts off with love, loyalty, honor, and friendship. It always ends up with betrayal, murder, manipulation, and everyone ratting each…

The Godfather might have been a nefarious mobster, but he "got things done." He was effective and cared for his family and protected them. Family plays an important role in the underpinnings of the movie, as he greatly cared for his sons shown by the lengths he…
