The godfather is the best not my favorite movie ever.
i could definitly see why its said to be one of the best movies ever made.
I don't think this is a case of "im to young" because unlike real cases of that,it doesn't tackle complex adult themes.
I mean yeah it does but not in the sense that you'll only get it once you're a certain age.
The movie itself is amazingly directed and i really like the performances and main character.
Its just that the movie has such a non interesting start and looses me in the last 15 minutes.
3 hours sometimes can be an excellent runtime for any movie but here i just don't feel it.
I still really like the middle half and like i said i still really like the main character,dialogue,cinematography and directing(its also sometimes really funny) but i can't get into it as much as other people.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
An operatic tragedy that follows a dynasty's rise and moral corrosion across a decade, moving with deliberate intensity through scenes of intimate family drama and sudden, shocking violence. It's a film about how power corrupts the heart, watched as you would watch a great novel unfold, with the sense that everything matters, and nothing will ever be the same.

First time watch, and I was truly shocked that Marlon Brando's character was not named Don Corleone. I've thought his first name was Don this whole time.
I always thought The Godfather would be super boring, even though everyone loves it, because it's three hours long and just has the aura of something that would make me fall asleep. To my surprise and delight, I was awake the whole time, and I liked it.
I didn't LOVE it, but I'm happy that the rest of you do. I'm not going to be peer pressured.
