The Rundown. Introduction. Considering their spots atop just about every best list in existence, the idea that The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are the greatest films ever made may seem more like a sacred truth than something still up for debate. To this day, they remain the only original and sequel to both win the Oscar for Best Picture. And yet, I have still heard an unfortunate few say they don’t get the hype. Too long. Too slow. Too depressing. If you fall into this category, I beg you to reconsider. If you like movies, and their potential to explain the world around us, I promise this is a bandwagon worth joining. I’m reminded of an episode of Family Guy, where Peter and Lois argue over the film’s merits.

Lois is taken aback by Peter’s taboo admission, “I did not care for The Godfather. Couldn’t get into it.” She’s almost offended, arguing, “It’s like the perfect movie!”Clearly, I agree with the latter, that Francis Ford Coppola’s films are the perfect American saga, the most deeply thematic, tone specific, meticulously directed, well written, acted, shot, lit, edited, scored, quoted, imitated, popular, critically acclaimed, culturally significant films in the history of movies. How’s this for an offer you can’t refuse: my promise that by the end of this review, if you truly take the time to read the litany of Coppola’s genius directing techniques and powerful themes, you will finally understand why these movies are so famous, so beloved and so revered. As the late Sidney Lumet said, “They are as close to perfect movies as I think exists.” Plot Summary (Part I)Based on the 1. Mario Puzo, The Godfather opens with a wedding reception at the Corleone estate in 1. New York. The actual wedding couple, Connie Corleone (Talia Shire, Coppola’s sister) and Carlo Rizzi (Gianni Russo), are but minor players in the soup of more important characters we meet. We’re introduced to the four Corleone brothers — the hot- tempered, philandering Sonny (James Caan); the wimpy Fredo (John Cazale, then- husband to Meryl Streep); the adopted consigliere Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall); and war- hero Michael (Al Pacino), arriving later than the rest and bringing with him his WASP girlfriend, Kay Adams (Diane Keaton).

From the get- go, we learn Michael is the only one who has not gotten mixed up in the family business, widely known to be organized crime. That’s my family,” he tells Kay.

It’s not me.”The head of the family, and broader crime Family, is The Godfather himself, Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando). He takes time out of the festivities to meet with the line of people waiting to take advantage of an Italian tradition that no man can refuse a request on his daughter’s wedding day.

These guests include undertaker Bonasera (Salvatore Corsitto), body guard Luca Brasi (Lenny Montana) and Vito’s superstar godson crooner Johnny Fontaine (Al Martino). When the lattermost asks for a part in a movie, The Godfather immediately sends Tom to make Hollywood director Jack Woltz (John Marley) an equestrian “offer he can’t refuse.” Needless to say, Johnny gets the part. That’s The Godfather’s power. Ironically, it’s the Don’s refusal of an offer that causes things to take a turn. A rival crime boss, Virgil “The Turk” Sollozzo (Al Lettieri), wants the Corleone Family to join him in the drug rackets, but when The Godfather refuses, Sollozzo sends hitmen to kill him. In the aftermath of the attack, Sonny takes over the Family and becomes a war- time Don, seeking council from Vito’s oldest friends, Pete Clemenza (Richard Castellano) and Sal Tessio (Abe Vigoda).

Meanwhile, Michael, the one son who wasn’t supposed to get mixed up in the family business, is the one drawn deepest into the fray, vowing revenge upon Sollozzo and his police captain crony (Sterling Hayden). Before long, he has blood on his hands and must flee to Sicily. There he’s struck by the “thunderbolt” of the beautiful Apollonia (Simonetta Stefanelli), whom he takes for his bride in a display of love and respect for his Italian heritage. Tragically, a real “thunderbolt” cuts the marriage short — blowing Michael’s love to smithereens. Meanwhile back in the States, New York’s Five Families have “gone to the mats” and are busy mowing each other down. The all- out gang war claims the life of Sonny, who falls for a toll booth trap while on a hot- head revenge mission for his sister.

After the death of Sonny, Don Vito decides the violence has gone far enough. He strikes a peace deal with the heads of the Five Families, allowing Michael to return and take over control of the Family. When Michael returns to the States, his first act is to track down Kay. He asks her to marry him, and they have two kids. After his father’s death, Michael moves to expand the Family out west, encroaching on the territory of Las Vegas pioneer Moe Green (Alex Rocco).

Gearing up for the move and fearing assassination by crime boss Don Barzini (Richard Conte), Michael arranges a “meeting” with the heads of the Five Families — a plan to wipe them all out and gain unprecedented power. Plot Summary (Part II)Michael’s journey from war hero to vicious killer in the original Godfather sets the stage for The Godfather Part II. The sequel tells two simultaneous tales: the rise of the father, and the fall of the son. In one storyline, we see the journey of Vito (Robert De Niro) from Sicily to Ellis Island; from his petty first crime to his first murder in 1. New York. In the other, we pick up where the first film left off, with Michael having taken his family to Nevada, where he, Kay and their children live a life of luxury on Lake Tahoe. That life is shattered one night — the night of their son Anthony’s confirmation — when gunmen target Michael for assassination and shoot up his bedroom. The attempt fails and Michael realizes there must be a traitor inside the Family.

While he tries to figure out the mole, he continues to expand his crime syndicate, meeting with hated Miami rival Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg), whom he suspects gave the assassination order. The two crime bosses feign friendship and do business together in pre- revolution Havana, but both secretly want to do away with the other. Eventually, Roth outsmarts Michael (and the audience) by staging a fake assassination attempt on a longtime Corleone Family friend, Frankie Pentangeli (Michael V. Gazzo). Believing it was Michael who tried to kill him, Pentangeli becomes an FBI informant and has Michael summoned before a Congressional committee on organized crime. All the while, Michael’s marriage to Kay and his relationship with brother Fredo are falling apart.

Soon, he discovers something has happened to him that would never have happened to his father — he’s lost the loyalty of his own family.
