Synopsis

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2007)

There is only one word to describe The Godfather and that word is "beautiful". I say this because of the way the film is crafted. The beginning starts out with that most memorable theme tune and then cuts to a discussion in the room of Don Vito Corleone.
"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." Brilliance
Then of course comes the scene with the horses head in the bed of director Woltz. This is probably the most memorable scene in the film for me.
Then comes the attempted murder of Don Corleone. Sonny is killed at a toll. Michael's new wife is blown up in a car bomb. Vito Corleone retires as Don and dies of a heart attack whilst playing with his grandson.
Michael Corleone is made Don.
