Marlon Brando is The Godfather |
The GodfatherBased on the 1969 novel by Mario Puzo, The Godfather was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, with the screenplay written by Mario Puzo, Francis Ford Coppola, and Robert Towne, although Towns's name doesn't appear in the credits. It became of one of the most potent film projects ever and oozed talent with Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton bringing the most powerful Mafia family to life right from scene one. For the audience it was 175 minutes of jaw-dropping awe and an experience that would live with each individual. Irember clearly the rich, dusky-dark rooms where Don Corleone, played with rare excellence by Marlon Brando, prowled and freely issued death as easily as Julius Caesar would send a slave to the lions. It was real and I breathed in every second hardly daring to blink. And then a scene would appear where Don Corleone played with his grandchildren like every grandfather throughout the world and the audience is forced to try and understand and struggle and find themselves trapped, but willing prisoners in Mario Puzo's and Francis Ford Coppola's world... Pure cinema magic... Godfather II & III proved equally as potent and the Corleone family became a part of our history. Al Pacino became the next Don and we watched his brutal life grow old and cried for him because in a way we loved him and chose to ignore he had become an instrument of death. The same for his father, who was played as a young man with true brilliance by Robert De Niro. We had grown to love these men like the Italian families they ruled with the iron fist of fear loved them. At the end of The Godfather III we understood and mourned their passing... Tim Rees |

Al Pacino is Don Michael CorleoneThe Hollywood Movie HistoryThe greats of the silent movie period included
Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton,
Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live
on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps
the most successful of the stars who began their career in the
silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies.
The western film genre has been the birth place for many great
film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster
movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title
greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought
Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and
a whole new action hero was born. Email enquiries and suggestions to the Editor by clicking on this text. |
