10a THE GODFATHER Has any movie so revolutionized the sense of what could be both an artistic and commercial success as The Godfather? Jaws is a masterpiece that leans to the summer popcorn side of the spectrum (nothing wrong with that). Citizen Kane is a masterpiece that leans to the cinephile/moviemaker side of the dial (nothing wrong with that). Somehow The Godfather and The Godfather Part 2 lay claim to both. A rare feat. Adapted by Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo from Puzo's best selling novel, The Godfather tells the story of 1940's New York crime family head Vito Corleone (a career high mark Marlon Brando) and how his criminal empire affects (and ultimately destroys) the lives of his four sons-Sonny, Fredo, Michael, Tom, and his daughter, Connie. The filmmaking has rarely been surpasse even 50 years later. Gordon Willis's cinematography is so good, it's now a benchmark standard. The performances are all so top shelf that the cast, in retrospect, seems impossible. Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, James Caan, Robert Duvall, Talia Shire. At the center is Francis Ford Coppola who took what could have been pulpy material and adapted it into an American Shakespearean tragedy of family, an America that corrupts as much as liberates. Oh yeah, and it's wildly entertaining.
