I've done it.
I've seen.
And let's be terribly honest, I just finished watching I could not help but eat elbows for not having seen before.
duqnue I launch into what will, no doubt, my review more difficult. (Because without elbows I challenge you to use a keyboard) ...
The Godfather.
Why "irrecensibile?
Coppola's film is irrecensibile as meaning "canon" of the term, because stylistically there is little to criticize.
lights, interpretation, scenggiatura, and especially the soundtrack, speak for themselves.
This film on a technical level exudes passion and style like few other films in history.
Of course one might dwell on the "bloopers" classics as Marlon Brando's hand moving while he is unconscious, or the microphone that appears in the dialogue between him and Robert Duvall, but in the magnificence of this work these "mistakes" become "specialness".
Exactly.
The Godfather is not only a film, is a stream of images and emotions that you will come and invest directly under the skin.
You can not review the godfather of a purely formal point of view, or rather it could be done, but would be a list of praise to the skill of interpretation, the movement of clean room, at the time well-chosen narrative, a short eulogy quite conclusive.
then I'll put it clear that this review will not be a review of "unbiased" but a review openly and dispassionately "de-core.
The Godfather's cool.
I know said so, it loses all ambition objective review, but then I put my hands on the first no?
The thing that shocked me this This film is perhaps the closest to my personal concept of "movie magic". Looking
they are aware that these characters are the "fetus" conspiratorial bastards stink ... but damn assassins!?
You can not help but love them.
"Hold" for them, want to "win", why did we affections in a total and totalizing.
Anyone watching this movie to come out, can only take in the fate of the Corleone Family, can only feel sorry for the vicissitudes to which the other "families" the subject.
Being able to "move" the attention, or rather the "disposition" of people towards those who are commonly called "bad" (and these are in almost every system of human values) without trying to hide or soften anything, is a work of great art film. Then there's Marlon
him.
Immense, total, ubiquitous, even when not appear on the screen, and when it appears here is that everything takes on a new depth. One
movements, scratching his cheek with the little finger, illuminating the scene.
It 's a gift that actors like to call "innate," so maybe or maybe it is the result of a passion and a great technique. In any case, the star of Brando shines and illuminates every inch of the screen, and beyond, for the duration of the film.
Coppola puts us all in turn. Heart, big heart, I can not help but think that it has poured much of the passion for his roots in this film.
but it also makes the simple and pure crystalline skill of which he is capable.
a fundamental goal of new center for the creation of what is beyond doubt a "masterpiece."
than a film, a sequence of images and situations that are cast off-screen cinema and have impressed the public imagination.
The historical characters ("we will make a proposal he can not refuse"), mythical scenes (the horse's head in bed) the voice of Vito Corleone, and the soundtrack.
The passion of a director summed in the right measure to the cinematic technique.
The right mix of these two elements into history a memorable work, even the over-representation of technique, or the intrusion of excessive "heat" would inevitably degraded (albeit slightly) the entire building.
would be unfair not to mention the trial of a young Al Pacino, and an equally beautiful James Caan and Robert Duvall already mentioned, and very balanced. Each actor carves out a "kiosk" shining in the heavy shadows that surround much of the film without "dirty" with his own interpretation of the presence of others.
Romantically I can not help but think that Brad, like his Vito Corleone has inspired his "family" of actors, giving an example that has been well understood and cultivated by those who have had the chance to play with him.
short, a great film, unique.
A landmark film of all time.
The advice I can give to those who read these pages and still has not seen the film is to rectify immediately.
Anyone should have seen at least once "The Godfather".
