Oh, this is the godfather

"The Godfather" is really famous, like thunder, I heard about it when I was a child and didn't know how to appreciate American movies, and now I finally see the true face of Mount Lushan.
The role of the first-generation godfather is definitely tailor-made for MALON BRANDO, every move, every word and deed, like a Sicilian, showing his character, indifference and kindness all the time.
In contrast, AL PACINO is no less inferior. Mike has the same qualities as his father, but is more ruthless. Such a role is really intriguing under his performance. No wonder he was fascinated by thousands of girls at that time, and the classmates who watched the film with me also admired him very much.
This is an old film, so from the perspective of modern people, there are some big loopholes. The fight scenes are very fake, especially the part where Mike sends fake police to kill people. It can definitely be seen as a comedy, and there is also a pose during the assassination. Really cover.
As a movie lover, this is a movie not to be missed, highly recommended!

The Godfather quotes

  • Capt. McCluskey: I thought I got all you Guinea hoods locked up! What the hell are you doing here?

    Michael: What happened to the men who were guarding my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: I pulled them guys off of here, eh, now get away from this hospital!

    Michael: I'm not leaving until you put some guards around my father's room.

    Capt. McCluskey: Phil, take him in!

    Cop with Capt. McCluskey outside hospital: The kid's clean Captain, he's a war hero! He's never been mixed up with the rackets...

    Capt. McCluskey: Goddamn it Phil, I said take him in!

    Michael: What's the Turk paying you to set up my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Patrolmen] Take a hold of him. Stand him up. Stand him up straight.

    [punches Michael and breaks his jaw]

  • Sollozzo: [to Michael, in Sicilian] I am sorry. What happened to your father was business. I have much respect for your father. But your father, his thinking is old-fashioned. You must understand why I had to do that. Now let's work through where we go from here.

    [Michael tries speaking in Sicilian, but can't express himself properly, so with a quick look at McCluskey they both switch to English]

    Michael: What I want... what's most important to me is that I have a guarantee: no more attempts on my father's life.

    Sollozzo: What guarantees could I give you, Mike? I'm the hunted one. I've missed my chance. You think too much of me, kid. I am not that clever. All I want is a truce.

    Michael: I have to go to the bathroom. Is that all right?

    Capt. McCluskey: You gotta go, you gotta go.

    [Michael gets up, but a suspicious Sollozzo probes Michael's crotch, to Michael's offense]

    Capt. McCluskey: I frisked him. He's clean.

    Sollozzo: Don't take too long...

    [Michael heads to the bathroom]

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Sollozzo] I frisked a thousand young punks.
