The best cinematic work of the 20th Century

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2016)

In order to grasp the true depth of this movie - you have to read the novel. It's mandatory. To understand the Corleone s, the era in which they flourished & the times in which Vito made Don !!
Vito Corleone played by Marlon Brando is the greatest portrayal of a fictional character on screen. No one could have played him better.
The adapted screenplay is optimally redesigned to keep the movie fast paced, gripping & electric with the fair share of thrills.
In one scene, outside the hospital waiting for men, Michael examines his hand. It isn't shaking in spite of the fear. As in the novel, he is beginning to realize, he has a unique calm about him in times of grave danger.
That is a magnificent scene, one only Coppola could have directed.
I can go on and on and on .. each scene is a monument of artistry.
Watch this movie before you die !!!
PS: Read the novel first ....
