The Godfather (1972) (8/10)

How can one who does not like violence like a movie that is full of violence.
It could be the animal inside you. But more likely it is the accompanying elements. The nonchalance, the coolness. Watched the movie after several years and appreciated it a bit more. Is there a story? Yes, and no. They are living their lives and they have to live them (or die) their way. The dialogues are immaculate. No unnecessary cussing, no unnecessary blood (if you pardon the large magnitude of killings). It is the larger picture that is important. No unneeded comedy during the violence either (a mainstay of many hind movies these days which some people seem to enjoy). Truly the making of a don. The dawn of a new Don.
