Truly one of the best movies I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2005)

Well what's there to say that hasn't already been said about this exceptional film. It takes us into the backstage of organized crime and shows us it's nature in evident detail.
I won't be writing about the plot since it's pretty clear to everyone. I'll just write a few lines on the parts of the film I found excellent and very memorable.
One of the best little details was the piano tune which kept playing at every tense moment. If you watch the movie for the first time it can fill you up with quite a lot of anxiety (second or third viewing still can't exclude it).
The final act was exceedingly memorable and symbolic. We see Michael Corleone and his family at the church during a sacred act, the christening of his niece. Parallel to that event is the killing of the family rivals. This act gives a statement that there is nothing sacred in the world of organized crime. Every promise is broken for the benefit of the family business.
It's very hard to find an objective flaw in this film. I'll just have to say "it's not business, it's strictly personal" :)
So let it be: The very FIRST movie ever to officially receive a 10/10 from me.
.......... +5/5 ..........
