Yes, this is a post about entertainment again. This will probably be a regular thing for me as I am very interested in TV and movies.
Movies are considered one of the greatest innovations in modern culture. When film was first shown, it set the standard for future inventions, like the television. During World War II, people went to movies mainly for news, as this was the only outlet at the time. However, as the world move forward in 20th century, film began to change and in the 1970s, one film came out that redefined movies altogether. This film centered on the affects of organized crime not just on America, but on the Mob family also. This masterpiece was The Godfather.
The movie mainly focuses on Don Corleone, the head of the Corleone family, and also his son Michael as he enters into the world of organized crime. The plot from this film was amazing by itself, but there was so much more about this movie that made it amazing. It actually looked at a crime family from the inside, depicting their lives and it showed that they weren't monsters like people thought, but actually a modern family. It depicted Don Corleone as an Anti-Hero, a criminal who wouldn't hesitate to kill someone, but was compassionate for his family. The emotion felt by him for his family is breathtaking.
This film goes down as one of the greatest because of its impact on the world. It shed light on a dark time in American history and made it amazing. The acting was also amazing, with Marlon Brando's performance winning him the Oscar. It also set a standard for future films with it amazing acting and writing. What makes it so amazing was that it was so member able, with lines like, "I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse" going down in history as one of the most famous quotes of all time. This film also set the standard for future shows and films about crime, like The Sopranos and Goodfellas.
Overall, this movie was incredible just from everything. From the acting, to the plot, and even to the score, this movie brought everything to perfection. There may be amazing movies in the future, but none will have more of an impact than The Godfather did on America.
Hey Austin!
ReplyDeleteI have never actually seen this movie, so it is hard for me to judge, but I cannot believe that The Godfather is the best movie ever. There are a couple movies that I have seen that may qualify as the best movie ever. 1. the Prestige. 2. The Count of Monte Cristo. Both of these movies are intense with plot and have twists at every turn along with a mind blowing ending. The Prestige (2006) is a movie about two competing magicians and their extreme efforts to thwart each other. When one Magician creates a teleportation trick, the other Magician goes to extreme measures to replicate it. I highly recommend it if you have not seen it. The Count of Monte Cristo(2002) was a film based off of the book that was written in 1844 by Alexandre Dumas. It is a story about two men. One man betrays the other, stealing his fiancé and giving him a lifetime prison sentence. The movie then follows this broken prisoner as he learns much from a man in prison who eventually helps him escape. He then plans his revenge on his old friend. I have never read the Count of Monte Cristo, but it is such a good movie that I put it on my list. If you are looking for a good movie, I would highly suggest either of these movies. They are full of plot and are both very exciting.
