Beautifully human.

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2016)

Despite being a head of one of the Mafia families in NY and managing it's dirty business that involves racketeering, violence and murder, Vito Corleone is a very respectful and simply human towards others. My favorite scene with Vito sets him in the garden with his grandson, where he dies a happy man. Feels like Marlon Brando lives through all of it, making it true. Could not imagine anyone else doing a better job.
His sons, Fredo, Santino and Michael are portrayed brilliantly, showing the diversity of different characters. Santino being warm-blooded and Michael quite the opposite. Caporegimes, always loyal Clemenza and witty Tessio alongside with the story about Connie and her husband brought the depth.
I want to give it a 10 out of 10, but there is just something that I was looking for, but did not found.
Pros: Perfect casting; Great acting; Very human;
Cons: At times too simplistic; Some interesting characters left behind along the way;
