      sultry romance, romantic sultry

      Stupid romance, ——Analysis of the
      classics of [The Godfather]


      When it comes to gangster films, everyone should think of: all kinds of guns and ammunition, all kinds of team battles, all kinds of racing car chases... Anyway, it should be full of excitement, gunpowder smell and hormones toy. Then if you take this as a standard, in comparison, [Godfather] should give me the feeling of being boring.

      This kind of sullenness comes from almost any element in the film: the...

      Why must you - when we are talking about the classics, what are we talking about.

      Every work once hailed as a classic will bear the fate of a star for the latecomer.
      Every person who really loves movies probably has a few "Is this my problem?" in their hearts and can't see any good classics.
      Except for some malicious brainless rebels who want to flaunt their outstanding taste by criticizing classics. This is probably because the classic itself is a kind of myth. So much so that "how to become a classic when the classics" became one of the few memory points in the...

      Who invented the disgusting phrase "men's bible"?

      After reading the bible, do you men become masters of men, or do you continue to be small fish? If it is the latter, then you should watch a movie with Poly, Tom and others as the protagonists, and learn how to serve the peak.

      There are a lot of things here that you can't use as an ordinary person with a flat head. All you can do is greet customers with a smiley face, greet leaders with a smiley face, and write your documents, none of which are included in this film. Do you want to...

      far less than a book

      Maybe it's because of the earlier shooting time. The plot is boring, the characters are stiff, the expressions are stiff, the lines are too rigid, and the lines don't feel like it's just a mechanical narrative. I think people who haven't read the book may not be able to understand it.

      After all, it is not too easy to express the vivid mental activities or facial expressions of the actors in the book.

      Like the girl Mike fell in love with on the run. The description in the book is...

      Which is your favorite quote from the old Godfather Vito Don Corleone in The Godfather?

      A man who doesn't spend time with his family is not a real man!

      Originally wanted to make this sentence, he hastily ended his speech, but it turned out that it seemed far from enough.

      I think it should be the beginning of what he said when a person asked the godfather for help. He didn't treat him as a friend. Only when he was desperate, he came over and cried and shouted back my justice and other bullshit, but he didn't even want to call me a godfather.

      The opening...

      Finally got the courage to click on this series. And then fell into complete inability to extricate themselves. The first half-hour of the wedding banquet calmly set the tone, clearly introduced the family characters and characteristics, and the lighting in every transition was perfect. Of course, how classic the Godfather is at the beginning of the appearance is only for worship. The hospital scene is a transition and advancement. very interesting. The distance between you and the gang is only...

      This is the first time I have watched this film history in its entirety, and it's really beautiful! As soon as the melody of "Talking Softly" sounds, it seems to be back in high school days, when these songs were looped all day long... When I was in college, LOTUS often broadcasted three parts in a row, from dawn to dark, and the whole day passed... ...The version shown by the archives is not particularly good, and the embedded subtitles are too shallow, and it will be difficult to...

      If you don't take it as the foreshadowing of Godfather 2, the realm is actually very ordinary. Coppola didn't like it either. It is better to be organized and stylish. Just a model of Jack Sue. I wasn't born a scumbag, circumstances forced me to be a scumbag. No matter how big the leader is, he can't manage his own relatives. The mandolin must be ringing in your head during office politics. You shouldn't take this too seriously after the age of...

    Behind the scenes gags

    During the filming, Coppola had a fierce conflict with the producer Paramount Pictures, so that the producer considered replacing him.
    Most of Marlon Brando's lines in the film are read out according to the cue cards. In addition, he deliberately imitated the voice of Vito Corleone's character prototype Frank Costello.
    Marlon Brando hopes to make Vito Corleone look like a "bulldog." During the audition, he stuffed cotton in his mouth to...

    Actor selection

    The producer, Paramount Pictures, initially disagreed with the actors selected by director Coppola. The producer strongly opposed Brando's role as Vito Corleone and hoped that Lawrence Oliver would play the role, but Oliver was unable to play due to health problems. A director of Paramount Pictures also suggested that Danny Thomas should play Vito Corleone. Later, after Coppola’s repeated pleading, the producer finally agreed to sign a...

    Narrative festival

    "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...

    Scene shot

    "The Godfather" has many very classic lens applications. For example, the old Godfather turned his back to the camera in the opening scene, listening to the funeral home owner's speech, the light was very dark, after the whisper, he was hitting suddenly, and then slowly opened the camera to show the scene of the whole house. , The godfather's majestic side was very successful. At the end of the film, the use of the depth-of-field lens...
