Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2019)

For me Al Pacino graduated from being a small cop (Serpico) to being a major player as the godfather in this movie, exuding a gravitas beyond his years which gained my respect, apart from the respect he was paid by all the mafia who surround him. Marlon Brando of course garnered huge respect from his underlings and fellow dons whilst exuding a royal aura of majesty. Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece portrayal of mafia life is mostly historically correct.
