Godfather is a work published by francis ford coppola in 1972. This film more than 40 years ago has become a classic after baptism.
This 72-year-old film is not so advanced in all aspects of shooting technology, but it is still enduring today, and even few films of the same type surpass it.
The lines in this movie are so classic, there are so many classic lines that people can't forget, thanks to the classics of the original work. In fact, people will think that the reason why a movie is classic is often because a line in the movie clock makes you feel the same and unforgettable.
Every character in the film is well portrayed, and almost everyone's behavior affects the interpretation of the whole plot. More importantly, the performances of the old godfather and Mike were really superb. Marlon Brando's hoarse voice, forceful words, Mike's delicate grasp of the role and sharp eyes all deeply touched me.
It is said that this movie is a must-see for men, so what do you want to see? Of course it won't be a fight, and it won't be a gang duel. This is actually a movie about family and responsibility. When the Corleone family faced a crisis, Mike had to take responsibility.
The godfather's film review?
1, an elegant gentleman with a butcher knife "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse." This is his negotiation skill. He is an elegant gentleman with a martini in one hand and a butcher knife in the other. Talking about dirty business, a professional executioner in a noble suit; He only needs a gesture to make others lose their lives; Just a smile is enough to turn war into friendship. They are awesome characters and dancing assassins. No matter politicians or funeral home owners, it seems that they are always waiting to hear his gentle call, just because he said, "One day-maybe this day will never come, I will ask you to do something for me." But before that day comes, please accept justice at my daughter's wedding, which is also my gift to you! "So, what gives the godfather such a profound magic? Let him just sit there, in the corner of that dark room, as if he were in the middle of a black hole in the universe. People respect him, love him and fear him. He is so complicated and deep. Red blood and black dress are the most dignified colors in the film The Godfather. The godfather is outstanding in that he knows his responsibility as an "underground emperor", such as the sentence in Spider-Man: The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. So he always abides by his creed and never harms others with drug trafficking. To this end, he refused the drug Lord Suluozuo's request. Just like this, the godfather told us that as long as you can face the world with dignity, you can live with dignity. So he can communicate with high-level politicians at will, from the bottom to the top of society, or he can weave an invisible and complicated net. Therefore, whether it is a family interest dispute or a trick of killing each other, the godfather always seems to have the ability and courage to control everything, cut off from all sentient beings and look down at the sky.
"What makes men so obsessed with the godfather?" Meg ryan asked in an "electronic love letter". Tom Hanks answered her mysteriously: "This is our man's Bible, which contains all wisdom."
2, everything can't go back, according to Jianghu rules. It is said that "The Godfather" was filmed in three episodes for 18 years.
Charming bastards, compassionate bastards, bastards who should be forgiven.
In Brando's family, all women are jealous, all men drink too much and commit suicide a lot. Little Malone's childhood was spent in gloom, his father seldom came home, and his mother drank all day and had sex with one man after another. The only warmth in little Malone's life comes from a friendly gay priest. This made him bisexual because he was expelled from the military school for homosexual behavior.
To escape all this, he came to new york and became a star on Broadway. The violent temperament given by the gloomy life made him successfully appear in A Streetcar Named Desire, thus becoming famous in one fell swoop. "It's like waking up and sitting on a pile of candy." He couldn't stand the reputation, felt like a liar and had to turn to a psychologist. To help him overcome his anxiety, the doctor even read Hitler's speech to him.
In the early 1950s, Malone stepped into the film industry and started a brilliant journey. He won seven Oscar nominations and two Oscars. At the same time, I kept getting married and divorced, and gave birth to a lot of gloomy children. His wife always quarrels, his mistress always commits suicide, and his children are always in trouble. Malone's eldest son, Christian Brando, took drugs, possessed weapons, made illegal transactions, and had an affair with his father's mistress Jill. Chena is Brando's youngest daughter. The girl as beautiful as the sun has no one to take care of at home, so she seeks comfort in drugs.
1May, 99016th, the biggest tragedy happened in Malone's life: his son Christian killed his daughter Chena's boyfriend Dege. When the police arrived, Dege was already dead, and a bullet hit him in the cheek. Chena sat on the sofa with a lighter in her hand and a cup of yogurt in front of her. People still don't know what happened: according to Brando's family, it was a fight; According to the defense lawyer, it was an accident; According to chener, "my father arranged everything." Later, Chena committed suicide. Malone didn't attend his daughter's funeral.
The reporter asked Malone if he felt responsible for this messy situation. He said, "When a seagull flies over 2000 people, who knows where its feathers will land?" But can Malone really treat a felony as a frivolous feather? He seems to be cursed, as he said in The Last Tango in Paris: "You have always been lonely, and you can't escape the feeling of loneliness until you die." -Obscurity is a portrayal of his life.
I once thought, who did this bisexual man love? Maybe it's just his worthless murderer son. I will never forget the plot in The Godfather: Sonny was shot. He said to the makeup artist at the funeral home, "You see, that's how they treat my son." The dim light hit his forehead, the lower part of his face disappeared into the shadow, and his eyebrows wrinkled, forming a sad wrinkle-my heart tightened and hurt. I also have a lovely son. When a father encounters this greatest misfortune, I can feel the surging pain and revenge anger. In reality, in order to excuse his son Christian, Malone spent all his money and was down and out. Christian is still sentenced to ten years in prison. Affected by this, Malone overeated and weighed surprisingly, and the former "sexy beast" became a fat pig. If you want to vomit, you can watch Malone's appearance in the horror movie Isle of Man. The powder on his face is thicker than that of a Japanese geisha, like a ton of fat.
Later, he finally died. Hearing the news, I froze for a while. In my memory, Malone died long ago and was buried in 1972 forever. That year, the godfather came out. His godfather fell in the garden. When the death knell rings, the classics are born. 32 years later, he died for the second time. This time, he was completely dead. Malone left a long list of numbers: 1 immortal figure-godfather, five classic movies-a streetcar named Desire, Apocalypse Now, the last tango in Paris, seaside and godfather; Six mistresses who committed suicide; 17 lawyer; About 25 unfortunate children; 1 1 million pounds of huge debt.
Rest in peace, godfather. I just have to correct what you said. Although you don't spend much time with your family, you are still a real man. Because, your role has taught countless boys to grow into men. For this reason, I will always respect you.
Why is The Godfather regarded as a classic?
I can say that the godfather trilogy is a must-see movie for a man's life, and it is a classic among the classics. Godfather is not only a reference for future gangster movies, but also a reference for a man's life. The core of the godfather is not the underworld, but the blueprint of Italian life in the United States, which includes the growth of men, the affection of brothers and the collision of cultures. Godfather is not just a gangster, it writes about life!
First, the shooting technique and presentation of the film
At the beginning of the film, a man said, "I believe in America. America makes me rich." Introduce the protagonist in a more attractive way and make the audience more interested in watching. In addition, through the constant change of the picture, several people appear on the picture from different angles, which makes the picture vivid, particularly strong in three-dimensional sense and more advanced, which makes the audience have a better viewing experience and paves the way for the subsequent development. There is also the long lens method, which aims to make the audience have a clearer understanding of the film, form a third perspective, and achieve objective and real results.
There are many lines in the film that are worth thinking about.
Give him a condition he can't refuse. A man who doesn't spend time with his family is not a real man. Be close to your friends and your enemies. I know it's you, Fredo. You broke my heart. Mike told Al that when my mother was alive, I didn't want anything to happen to him. As the pillar of the family, men need to be prepared for danger in times of peace and have their own unique views on the judgment of things. There are many iconic moments in the film that are imitated and paid tribute to by many later works. For example, in the scene between Brando and Bernacella, the old godfather Vito brushed his face twice with his fingers; The blood mound on the bed of the movie movie mogul, and the poster holding the puppet line in the movie are all imitated and paid tribute to in various popular cultural works in the future. It can be said that The Godfather has been imitated and never surpassed. Some values in The Godfather can be quoted? People's thinking is reflected in their own lives, guiding the direction.
3. The philosophy of life embodied in The Godfather has benefited people a lot.
Revelation 1: The real connections are never those who can help you, but those you can help. When you help others, Sir Corleone will help them as long as he agrees that the other person is right, and all the other person has to do is make a promise not to refuse him when he is needed in the future.
Revelation 2: Give friendship first, and then you can reap noble people. Walking in rivers and lakes for many years, Father Corleone's most commendable sentence is "I would like to pay friendship first". In order to protect his business, he spent a lot of money to make friends with famous people, even though many people didn't know him. So that when other powerful gangster families want to get through the police relationship, they can only ask the Koren family to act as a bridge.
Revelation 3: Long-term contact is essentially mutually beneficial. There is an old saying in China: "Different people have different opinions, and the wise have different opinions." But it fits. Godfather Corleone always said, "I may ask you to do something small when the time comes." The essence of this society is actually getting along with people. No one can have all the resources, so we need to exchange the goods we need. No one can know everything, so they need to support each other. There are many powerful and powerful bosses in the gangster rivers and lakes created in the godfather movies. But only the godfather can have the influence to hold a national gang meeting under the absolute disadvantage of being suppressed by several big gangs in new york. The reason is that among these mercenary gangs, only Coleon is willing to put friendship and cooperation before interests. Over time, he made more and more friends and gained more and more energy, which in turn attracted more people to cooperate with him.
