Plot Summary:
Generally acknowledged as a bona fide classic, this Francis Ford Coppola film is
one of those rare experiences that feels perfectly right from beginning to
end--almost as if everyone involved had been born to participate in it. Based on
Mario Puzo's bestselling novel about a Mafia dynasty, Coppola's Godfather
extracted and enhanced the most universal themes of immigrant experience in
America: the plotting-out of hopes and dreams for one's successors, the raising
of children to carry on the good work, etc. In the midst of generational strife
during the Vietnam years, the film somehow struck a chord with a nation
fascinated by the metamorphosis of a rebellious son (Al Pacino) into the keeper
of his father's dream. Marlon Brando played against Puzo's own conception of
patriarch Vito Corleone, and time has certainly proven the actor correct. The
rest of the cast, particularly James Caan, John Cazale, and Robert Duvall as the
rest of Vito's male brood--all coping with how to take the mantle of
responsibility from their father--is seamless and wonderful.
