One of the great movies that influenced filmmakers world wide. Great acting, direction, everything. No wonder why this is a classic. I recommend this movie to every film students. The visual language of this movie is something to be learned from. Francis Ford Coppola is one hell of a director. The mix of suspense, drama and the mafia story is just brilliantly done. Al Pacino and Marlon Brando did awesome acting.
Nino Rota's music is so well done.Rota's score for The Godfather had been nominated for a 1973 Academy Award for Best Original Score. However, it was disqualified from consideration when the Academy learned Rota had used a more comedic version of the song for the film Fortunella (1958).Nonetheless, Rota's score for The Godfather Part II won the 1974 Academy Award for Best Score, despite the fact that it contained the same piece.
Overall a great experience that makes you wanna come back to it.
