Almeida-man's review about The Godfather(1972)

The characters are fully brought to life within the three-hour span, with each character getting just the right amount of screen time to flesh them out fully. The handling of certain scenes is truly exceptional, with the environment, sound, lighting, and props all seamlessly integrated. For example, the scene where they change rooms in the hospital is edited masterfully, with the close-up shot capturing the tears in the Godfather's eyes amidst the chaos. Another standout is the segment featuring the baptism and the slaughter, through the use of parallel editing, which is truly gripping, gradually elevating the next generation of Godfather with a juxtaposition of joy and ruthlessness.

I simply can't wrap my head around why people are so fixated on this type of movie. Each violent scene just makes me uneasy, and I'd rather not dwell on any part of it. I feel that hailing such a movie as a classic, no matter how well-crafted it is, is subtly promoting the glorification of violence.

This film delves into power struggles and the conflicts of human nature, all within its gentle pace that carries immense authority and tension. The music, soothing yet tinged with sadness, along with the acting and cinematography, all contribute to an enjoyable watching experience. It's the kind of movie that demands full immersion to truly appreciate, and it delivers a fresh experience every time you revisit it.
