A template for filming with the finest direction, cinematography and editing

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2013)

The Godfather sets the standard for contemporary filming. {Francis Ford Coppala} (Finians Rainbow) inspires George Lukas, Steven Spielberg and becomes the today's Orsen Welles. Godfather had extreme controversy during production and release mostly from the Italian community. (wanting to be presented in a good light and shed the mafia mentality) Francis breaks new ground in establishing the money is no object in creativity. Of note, Godfather is the last produced to have been printed in true, three strip Technicolor, as the plant in Hollywood ceased the process. Shooting on location, cast of prominent names and of course the Godfather himself, Mr. Marlon Brando. Godfather, a film to be viewed again and again, play's itself. The influence to go on to create the part 2 and part 3 series.
