00:00Hey guys, welcome back in the past. Once again, this is your host on the game and today's video

00:05I'm gonna be doing it another

00:08movie review and this time I'm gonna be doing one of the

00:12All-time greats probably one of the greatest movie made in the history of cinema

00:17But I'm gonna be reviewing the Godfather

00:21Okay, now it's been 50 years, right?

00:25This marks the 50th year since the original Godfather came out and

00:30I'd say now it's a pretty good time to dive into the movies, right?

00:33I've only seen bits and pieces of the film because it's a long movie that's three hours long

00:41So I had to make time to watch this one right and I

00:47Did and I got to finish watch it and I have my opinions on it

00:53It really is a movie that people says it is okay now

00:57Now

00:59The way it started the story

01:03Everything to it had that quality cinema feel that you don't really see anymore in movies made nowadays

01:08But it's like an actual movie. It's not green screen CGI or whatever, you know

01:16Overuse of special effects the story basically

01:19is this right it's a story about these mafias these different

01:27Gangs going up against each other

01:30It starts off here this big wedding right they introduce these characters, you know the Godfather and these other characters doing their stuff

01:38and

01:40It's really interesting because there's nothing much here. Just these family members interact with each other

01:46At this big wedding for the Godfather's daughter

01:50and it's very

01:52documentary like

01:54Much like Raging Bull, right?

01:56There's just something to it that keeps you engaged

02:00Even though there's no action. There's no spectacle just text at a wedding

02:04and

02:06When you have this movie

02:08You guys all movie takes off right this is how they introduce everything then you get to the source subplot where you see

02:15Johnny seeks to join a movie cast

02:19They go to persuade the studio head of that studio to like give him the part

02:25And let's just say it didn't end well for the studio head right they had a little bit squabble over that

02:29And then it didn't end well for the studio head. It's interesting because this is like a subplot and gets wrapped up very quickly

02:36But what it does is it shows you the whole

02:40dynamics of these

02:44Corleone family and all these other families are these dawns how they operate

02:50Right you get an idea here like okay. This is what they're about. They don't make no joke

02:56So I think it's a pretty interesting use of like a subplot

02:59You know to get you a

03:02A bit of a demonstration of what's to come now you get to the Christmas season, right because why not everybody loves Christmas, right?

03:10So you have this whole squabble over Vito

03:13You know he interacting with the other guys the other dawns from their families and they had a soul

03:22like squabble over investing into the narcotics business and

03:26And the whole benefits and downside of this right and it it leads to some friction amongst the other families most specifically with their Tata Gallia

03:35Which leads to Vito getting gunned down and Hagen getting kidnapped

03:41So

03:42Things start to get really serious here, right?

03:44And then I found this you see

03:47Sony he's the the first one right he ends up taking command afterwards and this is really starts to get interesting, right?

03:53You see all these guys these younger guys under the Godfather

03:56They're coming up they're taking the reins and you see more of these other people who are out to get them

04:02You even see Michael, right?

04:04Who's the young of them coming to the free so you get to see all these families operate with each other

04:10How the relationships are with each other and the government or the politicians, right?

04:16And it's not born by any means. This is actually what makes it really special, right?

04:20It's still good, right? The whole time I'm watching it, I'm still hooked, right? I'm actually

04:27Remember when I was watching it

04:30I was hooked because I was interested to see what comes next

04:34That's really

04:36Really good because it's very hard to pull this off right to keep your audience interested in a movie that's

04:41It's not sold on action. It's sold on like drama

04:48Crime drama stuff. So yeah, this is actually going pretty good, right?

04:55And I mentioned the character Michael because he's like the up underdog. Yeah, he comes the he rises to the occasion

05:03And you see him climb into the top of the family, right as soon he gets killed off

05:08And then Vito, you know the godfather gets older he retires from a position

05:14So you see Michael as he matures throughout the show

05:18Because you know, he has to it because he eventually takes the reign

05:23And he takes over for Vito's place

05:26So you see him from his first appearance in the movie towards the end of the movie where it's like, oh, he's

05:33There are some changes here

05:35All right, it's no joke

05:37Because you know, he's the head of the family and it becomes all businesses at the end of the family

05:43But yeah

05:46Sometime

05:47Sure the story here

05:49Vito the godfather he has a heart attack and then he dies

05:52And it's pretty crazy you think about it, right?

05:55He's just sitting here playing with one of the

05:58little kids

05:59At a park, whatever, showing him some sort of

06:03Toy trick

06:04He starts coughing and just dies

06:05Pretty sad

06:07But yeah

06:08Following his death, things really start to go downhill

06:10There's like a whole bunch of more drama stop taking place

06:14During the funeral, right?

06:15This is what's crazy

06:17Michael's relationship gets betrayed by a lot of

06:21Other people close to him

06:22So he goes out and orders Hitman to kill a huge amount of family members

06:32During the baptism of their newborn

06:36Like it's crazy, like while the newborn is being baptized

06:39There's a whole amount of thoughts of these people getting gone down

06:43And from here I know the movie, it starts to wrap up by tying up loose ends

06:49So said at least

06:51But um

06:53You see with you know Michael and you know his wife

06:56And they're talking about the truth

06:58And that's really much it, right?

07:01This is the story pretty much ends there

07:03And I know that I left out quite a bit of other parts in the story

07:09Because this is a three hour long movie and there's a lot of details in this film

07:15And I can't really go all into that because this could easily be a hour long video

07:22But just know this was just like the the beginning of the soul story

07:26With the Corleone family and Michael taking the place

07:30He really dug it, right?

07:32Everything about it

07:33The story, the characters, the acting, the pacing

07:36Everything here all works

07:37And nothing feels weak or poorly done

07:41This is about as cinematic as you can get, bro

07:44The whole cast is about as perfect as you can get here for a full cast

07:50Especially Brando and Pacino

07:53They really own their worlds here

07:55Especially with what they were given

07:57Like these are the two standouts

08:00And it's not to take away from the other actors in this movie

08:04Because all these other actors like Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, and these other actors and actresses

08:12They did a pretty good job as well

08:15Not taking anything away from them

08:18But damn, these guys really nailed it

08:21The directing is literally perfect

08:26You know what Francis Ford Coppola

08:29He literally reimagined cinema with the directing here

08:34Like there's not a single imperfection in terms of directing

08:39And this is the cinematography

08:41The cinematography is pitch perfect

08:44Like this is what defines cinematography when you, you know, think of like cinematography in movies and video

08:53It has a documentary sort of feel to it

08:58Even though it's not really a documentary, but it's still a movie

09:01And it's executed very well

09:06The acting like I said is a 10 out of 10 performance of the acting

09:13Clearly the soundtrack is superb

09:17It's pretty much like very iconic too

09:20So like yeah, technically speaking this movie is like an A plus technically

09:23In fact probably almost overall

09:29This movie is like A plus straight across the board

09:33Except for probably one issue

09:37Right?

09:38And I know I'm probably going to be nitpicking the hell out of it thinking about it

09:42But this movie is three hours

09:47And you know as I'm like thinking over it

09:52You know the story, the plot

09:55Even though it's like it's almost perfect

09:59There was something I really had gripes with

10:02One of the scenes in the movie actually

10:04And that was the one with the

10:08You know the sub-plot about the whole movie starting

10:11And him not getting a role

10:13And the studio heads having butts with the Amino

10:17The Carlone family over that

10:18That was pretty much a throwaway stuff

10:22It wasn't really like a main thing

10:24Like if you're looking through all the scenes in the movies

10:28You could easily just wipe out that whole sub-plot

10:31And this movie would be like pretty much

10:35Normal stage 2

10:37Thinking about it right?

10:40And I know that probably sounds a lot like a nitpick

10:43Because you know the scene is not a bad scene

10:45It's a good scene

10:47But thinking about it that's probably

10:50In terms of what where the movie has faults

10:54That you can fix

10:56I'll take that out

10:58Because remember this is a three hour movie right?

11:01So it's quite a bit to get into

11:04But yeah

11:05With that being said

11:06Other than that like one scene which

11:08The movie could have done without

11:12This is about as perfect as you can get

11:16I'll have to give the godfather

11:18A 9.7-ish out of 10

11:24Like thinking about it

11:25I'd say it's perfect right?

11:27You know I was debating on giving it a little reading

11:31From that you know scene

11:34That I was talking about

11:35You know the movie star scene

11:36But I was like nah that sounds a bit petty

11:40Because

11:41It's not a bad scene

11:44By any means right?

11:45It's just that it doesn't really

11:47Feel like it needed to be in the movie in my opinion

11:52So if you took that out the point

11:54You could have gotten a full perfect 10 from my perspective

11:58But

12:00Still 9.7 is about as perfect as you can get

12:03That's like the highest rating I've given a

12:05Movie

12:07Other than what

12:09Taxi driver

12:11Yeah this is

12:13Really up there guys

12:15And it's

12:17Definitely worth watching

12:20I'd actually recommend this to anyone

12:23Especially the younger audience right

12:25The younger people don't really know what real cinema is

12:28Because they've been like

12:29So caught up with all of these superhero movies

12:32These

12:33You know

12:34Action movies that have been released today

12:37Some of which are good

12:38But the majority of them are bad

12:40Right

12:40So the people today haven't really warped view of cinema

12:45That's where this movie comes in

12:47So I'd recommend this movie to anyone

12:49You know

12:50It's been 50 years right since this movie come out

12:54And it still holds up well today

12:59So yeah guys that pretty much sums up my review for the

13:02Godfather guys

13:03A perfect movie

13:05But everything about it

13:08Good

13:08Great

13:09Perfect

13:10All right

13:11It really lives up to all the praise it's getting

13:15And it's definitely worth watching

13:17But let me know what you guys think in the comment section down below
