An important film

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 2003)

There is one thing I feel sure about: the people who dislike "The Godfather part 2" or say "Goodfellas" is better, didn't understand the movie. The Godfather movies,like the book, are not to be taken as typical gangster stories or gangster stories at all. The first movie was how capitalism, the Catholic Church, big business and the goverment are all the same as organized crime. The second movie with a Marxist theme, is an expansion of that idea and tells how destructive capitalism is to three different types of Families. The movie did not intend to totally portray how the mafia works, but goes beyond that. With this in mind, The Godfather is a great movie and the violence is used to make a point.
Furthermore, if you do a little research, you will find out everything I said about the movie is true.
