Buy This Item The Godfather [Region 2]  Available from Amazon  $63.98  on 11-16-2008     Generally acknowledged as a bona fide classic, this Francis Ford Coppola film is one of those rare experiences that feels perfectly right from beginning to end--almost as if everyone involved had been born to participate in it. Based on Mario Puzo's bestselling novel about a Mafia dynasty, Coppola's <I>Godfather</I> extracted and enhanced the most universal themes of immigrant experience in America: the plotting-out of hopes and dreams for one's successors, the raising of children to carry on the good work, etc. In the midst of generational strife during the Vietnam years, the film somehow struck a chord with a nation fascinated by the metamorphosis of a rebellious son (Al Pacino) into the keeper of his father's dream. Marlon Brando played against Puzo's own conception of patriarch Vito Corleone, and time has certainly proven the actor correct. The rest of the cast, particularly James Caan, John Cazale, and Robert Duvall as the rest of Vito's male brood--all coping with how to take the mantle of responsibility from their father--is seamless and wonderful. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> Reader Reviews When i first experienced the godfather it was the book the i watched the movies for a month straight. Al Pacino is a a mean sob and marlen brando(srry if i spell the names wrong) is the ideal character of any mafia movie. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. There is never a dull moment in this movie. I suggest buyin the box set cuz the end will leave you hanging and thats all im sayin about that.
