The Godfather

After watching The Godfather there were a few things racing through my mind. The first was to rewind the movie and watch it again, the second being that I wanted to start my own crime family. I already had the family, I was already 50% done, all I needed now was the crime part, at any rate the one thing that did stand out was the way the Corleone family was portrayed. The media maker did portray the Italian family as the picture perfect image of a mafia family. I really didn’t think anything new because nothings changed. There is nothing really covertly said in this movie, everything is out in the open, crime pays if you’re the “good” mobster and the world is a dark gritty place, where anything can happen. As for the people in it, they will do whatever they can to get ahead in life and only family is absolute. The move maker, Francis Ford Coppola, didn’t seem to really show any ethical concerns as to the characters, the climax of his movie was the transformation of Michael Corleone during the baptism. As amazing as that seen was there wasn’t really any ethical issues he was trying to get across, at least in my opinion.

And if you want to start a crime family with me just holla, I'm ready.
