First part
1. Opening music, Italian style, soothing, solemn, with a bit of tragedy. This music is also a musical melody throughout the play. With music, subtitles fade in and out.
2. This opening music laid a solemn and tragedy tone for the whole film.
the second part
1. Bauna Sala's daughter was bullied by her American boyfriend. The law could not give them heavy penalties, so Bauna Sala asked the godfather for help. The godfather refused with respect for himself and friendship, but under the influence, Baunasala yielded and called out the godfather. The godfather agreed.
2. This paragraph is very informative, and Coppola put it at the beginning, which shows its importance. Next, let's analyze the hidden content.
First of all, it presents the ideology of the entire American society represented by the American spirit, economy, freedom, and law. At the same time, it also mentions the family culture that Italian culture attaches importance to. The first line is "I believe in America." By Buna Sala. The picture is completely black at this time, suggesting the huge darkness under this line.
Immediately after "America made my fortune", this line is a well-known American dream, and strives to succeed.
Next is the American way of raising her daughter, giving her freedom, and also telling her never to be humiliated, of course, the latter is of great importance to Italian culture. The rape of her daughter by an American man reflects the conflict and inequality between Americans and Italian immigrants, and her daughter resisted and suffered violence. The punishment of rapists by US law was suspended for three years and the execution was suspended. The question of law and fairness and justice was thus raised. Is fairness or justice guaranteed by law or by individual violence? The godfather answered, "Why didn't you come to me first before you call the police?"
The rest is the Godfather's conquest of Buna Sala. It shows the power of the godfather and the value of friendship and respect under the cover of money, which also reflects the ideological confrontation between the United States and Italy. Finally, the arrangement and arrangement of the Godfather on this matter reflected his careful thoughts, and he arranged it to Tom Haggin to explain his status as a military division. Kremensha is also mentioned.

A Image Styling Gordon Willis's low-key photography complements content narrative. The appearance of Baunasala, the background is almost completely black, and the characters are fully emphasized, and the low-key photography of the entire room shows that the work performed inside is out of sight. The outdoor light comes in through the blinds, and there are two light sources in the room, showing the texture of the objects in the picture, making the whole picture look like an oil painting. The red roses on the clothes of the godfather were as bright as blood.
B In terms of scene angle, the long zoom lens at the beginning is perfect. The space in which the character is located and the godfather of the close-up scene gradually show up, but it is still the back and adds suspense. The performance of Baunasala was wonderful. The rest are mostly stable fixed lenses. In terms of character transfer, it is mainly the interaction between the godfather and Baunasala. The two were originally in the same sitting position from a distance. Later, he became a stance of Baunasala. Although the godfather was in a low position, he still controlled the position. The later godfather stood up and had more control. Taking a shoulder shot of Buna Sala was also at an angle of depression, which was completely at a disadvantage.
There is a very interesting composition, with the godfather and Baunasala in the foreground, and Santino in the background, showing Santino's learning of the way the godfather deals and his inheritance.
The use of the cat is said to be a temporary intention of the director, but it is here to show the grace and calmness of the godfather. Out of color.
