The best way to describe The Godfather is flawless in every way that a movie can be flawed. It exceeds expectations of what should be put into a movie from everyone involved.
Coppola directs The Godfather with obsessive precision. Every shot is shown in its own way for a reason, and if something is put into place, it has a purpose. The cinematography for such a small-scale story is breathtaking. The shots of small, old-style Sicily villages and rain-soaked, film noir-ish New York streets are immensely innovative for the budget that Coppola was provided.
Mario Puzo, the author of the novel that this is based on, assisted Coppola in the writing of the remarkably original screenplay. The movie opens with an Italian man, quivering with rage, telling the always brilliant Marlon Brando how his daughter was recently beaten within an inch of her life and the attacker got away with barely any punishment.
"I want justice," he says fiercely. We know immediately that what will be dished out will be far from justice. We know that Brando (his character is named Don Vito) is heading some sort of crime organization before any mention of it is given. The term Mafia is never used once in the film, because the theme is so clear without it.
Marlon Brando's sons and daughters are shown in the introduction at his daughter's wedding, and their personalities and intentions are as different as can be. His son Sonny (played by James Caan) has a fiery temper and spits at a group of private detectives after smashing their cameras to bits.
His son Michael (in a career-making performance by Al Pacino) tells his girlfriend (Diane Keaton) a story. In the story, his father (Brando) gave a man "an offer he couldn't refuse" (a term that has now become a part of American culture). This means that a gun was put to a man's head, and it was assured that either his brains or his signature would be on a contract that his father wanted signed. Michael's girlfriend looks at him with shock and horror when she hears the story, and Michael firmly says "That's my family…it's not me." What follows is a nasty run-in with the illegal narcotics gang in which Don Vito is shot and nearly killed. In one of the most powerful scenes in the history of cinema, Michael turns on his word to his love and murders a police officer and a gang member in cold blood.
The Godfather is like a Shakespearean tragedy. We see a man who is pure of heart and has good intentions plummet deep into a dark and senseless life.
The theme of the movie isn't carried forward with gunfights, car chases and constant action. It is a well-paced drama with sudden bursts of shocking violence to keep the audience's attention. And to hold it all together so beautifully, there is Nino Rota's haunting musical score.
This is the first and most powerful installment in arguably the best trilogy in the history of film. This movie alone has paved the way for epics and single-handedly created new standards for film-making excellence.
This is not only the Best Picture of 1972, as its well-earned Oscar states. I feel that this is the Best Picture of all time.
