Hold on a minute

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2009)

Awesome movie to take a great trilogy to a close. Excellent acting, excellent directing, and themes, motifs, and symbols that are really intriguing. (Look in the Godfathers for murder directly following the scenes of someone eating an orange- it foreshadows death) And in the Godfather III, it shows Michael being served OJ which displays the fact that Michael is having other people taking care of his problems because he is slowly breaking down.
Anyway plenty of people will go into great detail with movies like this so ill just say this:
The women in this one tick me off. Talia Shire. She's innocent, soft spoken, and angelic in both Godfathers 1 and 2. Not only that but she's always a very strongly against the family business. All of a sudden she's making hits and acting like a big shot in this cosa nostra. Talia, go back inside and come back out when you need one of your brothers to beat some culo.
And for the other one, Sonny's daughter, get off your cousin! I'm Italian your disgracing the family values here come on. You know why I really didn't like her though? Because Godfather to me is set in a generation that I link to the traditional Italian-American family values. Sonny's daughter is a more modern generation breed and I don't like the new generation mixed in with the old, it seems too...too..today. Kids are much more free these days and don't really place their family first. When i was a kid it was always Sundays with the family, pasta and meatballs from 2 till everyones done talking. And if i argued i got a smack. Granted, I'm 19, but i grew up in East Boston. Kids today suck which is why i didn't like her.
ANYWAY, still, needed to the collection to show Micheal's decline and still an instant classic.
