Absolute Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2011)

Not many movies can be called "The Perfect Movie". However, in my humble opinion, The Godfather can be called as such. Everything about this movie (again, in my opinion, all of this) was spectacular.
Marlon Brando is simply unforgettable as Don Vito Corleone, who has become an icon among organized crime itself. Al Pacino makes his breakthrough performance in this movie as Michael Corleone, who just wants to live his own life outside of his family's lifestyle. James Caan plays the hostile, hot-headed Sonny Corleone in a way that can only be described as if he were living the role. I could sit here and describe every single role in this movie, but that would take much more than 1,000 words.
The music and lighting set a dark yet warming tone to the otherwise gritty setting here. Along with the winding story which makes the 3 hours this film occupies swing by quickly and leave you wanting more.
A classic movie indeed, if you haven't seen it yet, highly recommend it.
10/10
