"The Godfather" is very well-rounded in narrative, and the half-hour wedding line is dense, which plays a key role in the development of the huge relationship network of characters and the plot. The several foreshadowings buried at the beginning of the film all echoed in the later plots, and what makes people feel novel is that these echoes do not determine the plot direction, but are connected in a grassy line. For example, the second time the owner of the funeral home appeared, after the godfather's eldest son Sonny was shot and killed, the godfather asked him to organize his beloved son's remains. Enzo, the son-in-law of the cake shop owner, appeared for the second time after the godfather was shot, and in the hospital he and Michael pretended to be a bodyguard to guard the godfather. These plots do not determine the direction of the plot, but connect the front and back plots, and merge the complex network of characters into a close whole; and this kind of echo is a common "benefit-reward" echo in classical narrative. The narrative rhythm is vigorous, and it is also an exaggeration to the characterization itself

"When I saw it for the tenth time, I realized that this may be the greatest movie in history.-Stanley Kubrick" I only watched it three times, and I didn't hear it deeply. The omen of the death of oranges and fish, the cruelty of the Statue of Liberty, the separation between the two, the establishment of the godfather of the three shadows, and the negative American dream of Coppola. The perfect combination of subjective lens, God's perspective, scheduling and lighting hidden in the basic photography techniques, the ending is called an epic parallel montage, and in the end it is the shock of the door separated and the soul moving. The forging of the novel by the movie is just right, but at the same time it also needs to be polished by the details of the novel. This can be regarded as the only shortcoming of a great movie. The fourth brush in January 2021: A. The United States after World War II (1946). The assassination of Clemenza behind the Statue of Liberty (like excretion) followed the meticulous cooking routine. Two marriages shattered by identity brought two corpses (big brother Sonny, Sicilian woman), and the remaining one was left outside the door (Kay Adams).

Forgive me for watching this great movie so late because I've been trying to find a time to savor this gangster epic. The legendary IMDB best movie. Marlon Brando was a swinger when he was young, but his acting was truly extraordinary. It's a shame I didn't get to play The Godfather 2. I will finish watching the other two.//20150322 Archives 4K big screen. 3 hours without any procrastination. So cool. Completely appreciate the greatness of the film.
