Why was The Godfather trilogy rated as an epic gangster movie?

As a man's struggle history, as an excellent dialysis to understand human nature, as a perfect display of superb acting skills, The Godfather's artistic achievements are also extremely high. The ingenious design of the composition and the dark tone set off everyone's heart. It can be said that charm, calmness, rationality, responsibility, composure and principle are the essential qualities of the godfather described in the film.

Vedor Corleone, played by Marlon Brando, endowed the godfather with a unique and mysterious temperament, exuding irresistible majesty and kindness. He holds power and wealth, pays attention to loyalty, and many people seek his help. The godfather thinks that friendship is exchanged, even if the family business is naked. How to break through from one's own career and how to deal with all kinds of interpersonal relationships are colorful in the film.

The Godfather won the Best Film, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 45th Academy Awards with 1973, and was selected as the "Second Top 100 Movies in a Hundred Years" by the Motion Picture Association of America in 2007.

Extended data

The Godfather is adapted from mario puzo's novel of the same name. Vito Coleon, the hero of the novel, takes Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, known as the "gangster prime minister", as the prototype, both of whom are members of the mafia in new york. Some mafia actions in the novel also originated from the real events created by these two people.

The godfather described the family feud in the heyday of the Mafia with meticulous pen and ink. Although the film has a huge pattern, complicated plots and many characters, Coppola, the director, has handled the whole film in an orderly and exciting way, showing superb professional skills (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Review).

There are many classic scenes in The Godfather. At the end of the film, the use of depth of field lens is also classic. Kiah stood at close range and watched Michael accept a kiss from his hand. Then the door slowly closed, full of symbolism. The lighting of this film is revolutionary. The scene of the funeral home is the strongest contrast between black and white. The godfather came out of the shadow and handled it gracefully, highlighting the sadness of the bridge (Southern Weekend Review).
