A true masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2011)

This film is excellent in every way possible. It contains superb acting, directing, writing and is an all round great film.
It includes family values, but in a violent and protective way. It is very thrilling, violent, informative and it moves at a good pace.
The film has many things, one of which is values. The Godfather balances everything crucial in a film. It is violent, but not an action; it is touching, but not a romance; it includes family values, but is not a family film; it includes all of these and becomes a crime/drama.
It's a must see. Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece. Also see The Godfather: Part II, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, The Godfather: Part III and of course, his final outstanding film effort, Bram Stoker's Dracula.
