Godfather

I watched the movie “Godfather,” all three of it. I must say it is spectacular.

What’s so special about a movie like this? I know there are so many movies of similar topic, and things like violence, connections behind the political scenes, etc. Yet this movie appears special.

I thought it might be because this talks of something more complicated in a simpler manner. But then, the movie “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” was such a movie, too. What does it have that others do not have? In front of these movies, including the “Kite Runner,” “La meglio gioventu’,” “I cento passi” and others, all the rest of movies look like kids’ games.

Al Pacino looked so good in the first two movies. Although a friend said Andy Garcia in the 3rd part is cuter, I disagree!

Besides, I noticed that Al Pacino looks a bit like Takuya Kimura, a Japanese actor/singer/TV star.

I must say Pacino is a lot better actor, though. It’s just their eyes that sometimes looked so similar.

Some might say that the script is the key for a good movie, one of the movies. I still do not know.
