THE GODFATHER SUCKS

>>82268152

I agree.

It's a hedonist's flick. A power hungry mongoloid mafia gang that lacks competence.

People who like this movie are degenerate.

Beautifully shot, mysterious and melancholic ?

It's not very invigorating I know. In 'Gangs of New York' we see newspapers with two narrators -- DiCaprio and an unidentified man -- who tell us who was shot and where everyone is running to, but nothing of the protagonists internal thoughts or the wider political situation. It's street-level activity, socially-oriented but not personal or broad.

In 'Goodfellas' there's a somewhat different scene where we see Polaroids of the guys hanging out. I think it's just as good as the scene posted but while they're comparable the context and aim are different.

>unrelated note, has Polanski ever made a formal mob film?

>Nothing about this movie is good. Marblown Rando hamms up his entire role and barely makes it bearable to watch, the pacing is fucking awful, and the movie is pretentious as fuck. If I wanna watch an actual good gangster movie, I'm watching Goodfellas.

I like the way Coppola sets up this giant family event, making it believable and interesting, but then makes the scene about Michael and Kay - their romance and their view of politics. Scorsese would make the scene about the wedding itself, which wouldn't have worked in that instance.

The Godfather is an intellectual problem, maybe a small-scale one like an afternoon game of 'Clue!' but you get a sense that this rogue agency has been penetrated by a rat like Tom Hagen.

On a subtextual level, we know Hagen's doing the right thing but we also know he's lying to the family. It messes with your head a bit...we started off by relating to Michael, and in Part II, we're tempted to care about the people around Michael -- the people who are apparently trying to do good things.

HE WAS BANGING COCK TAIL WAITRESSES TWO AT A TIME

>/tv/ doesn't like good movie

What else is new?

Old people say it's a masterpiece and young people buy it.

>Imagine if Coppola opened the movie with the wedding, but zoomed in on Tom Hagen instead of Michael and Kay.

>Maybe Michael is sitting just a few tables away from Tom, but we can't hear what he's saying.

Why didn't he do it, is it because we're supposed to identify with Michael, or would that have given Coppola's game away by asking us to relate to the one man who appears to be undercover?

The Godfather opens by having us relate to the villain. That changes by the end of the trilogy.

Here's a movie that opens by having us relate to the do-gooder but switches tack and eventually we end up cheering for the villain. https://youtu.be/6HBytoAJn0Y

I mean it certainly isnt bad, fuck the performances and by all the legendary actors are great, but why is it always rank 1 on every list?

>>82272137

It shouldn't even be on the list at all

Yeah I also think it was shitty. Just a complete bore from beginning to end. And it's not a slow burn; there was no payoff.

>>82273530

You say it's boring to anyone and they immediately fly off the fucking handle, lobbing insults left and right.

Sorry it's Tailor that is based on Philby, right? And Smiley is based on this guy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bingham,_7th_Baron_Clanmorris

But outside of that context, you can read it differently.

this is why most people born after 1980 should be legally executed.
i was born in 1991 btw.

This scene is absolute fucking kino, but it's a standout from the rest of this bore of a flick. If the entire movie could be as good as this part then it would deserve its reputation.

ITT: call OP an underage redditor without actually refuting any of his points or making any intellectual defense of the movie

None of his points are valid, he's just saying "This is bad because i say so". He doesn't bring any evidence that claims he is right, he's been doing the same thread for almost a week now and he gets BTFO everytime.
