Pure Genius

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2001)

This is the finest example of film making-EVER! There isn't another film which could better this cast. Brando, Pacino, Duvall, Cann, Turner etc. Although Method acting is not my favourite style, it is used to it's strengths here.
Name a better actor than Brando over the last fifty odd years in film and stage? Not possible, Pacino and co come close but not close enough. This gave rise to so many other gangster creations. Goodfellas, The Sopranos, Casino to name a few. How Al never got an oscar for his Michael Corleone is a crime in itself.
If you haven't seen the film then you have to or else you haven't lived. Everything is perfect, acting, scenery, lighting, music, direction, you will be hard pushed to find a film that matches any one of those.
This is the greatest film of all time. It was Coppola's best, Brando's and Pacino's best. What more could you need? 11/10
