film #1

The Godfather

I liked it a lot. (favorite scenes) the political-strategy scenes; elaborate favorite characters: Sonny, Tom, Michael, Vito. (interesting overall themes): ambiguity of good vs evil, moral vs immoral; the political/business aspects are pretty fascinating; age, the loss of power, the fading of glory, yearning for the past, times getting too dirty and ugly and complicated for a generation with class and order- frightening pace of change… (critiques) why did connie get upset about carlo at the end? he was clearly terrible; why did he go back to kay? why does kay even matter, really?
