Underrated

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2009)

Hi this is my first comment just my reactions . pls don't overreact :)
I like this movie much than Part 2 but part 1 has a special place always
people don like i bcoz of the way Mike is subdued but what else can we expect from him
He is actually not brutal but became one to protect his family The only one thing that i din like was him killing fredo in Part 2 .
so it was natural that he repents for it in his old age . He lost his family he had longed for coz of his ruthlessness though it was understandable .
Compare the way he and his father died
Vito playing with his grandchild Mike lonely
Thts what the directors wanted to drive home Vito and mike were the best but Vito was reasonable and patient than mike which was greatly emphasized in part two (also the vito was more patient with tom hagen)
Also the way they both react to deaths . Mike wasn't affected till his daughters death the most important scene where his sis Connie and wife Kay watch mike with astonishment .
Another point is people make is Vincent reacts poorly to mikes daughter He never actually loved her . He gave her up for Becoming DON which is obvious . and its fitting that he is sonny's son bcoz i missed sonny in part 2 .
