Week13 - The godfaher

This is the last movie of the assignment; we enjoyed our afternoon during the 3 hours movie. It tells a story about gangster, the interest and vengeance between groups. "The Godfather" himself is not even the central character in the drama. That position goes to the youngest, brightest son of the godfather, Michael, who understands the nature of his father's position while revising his old-fashioned ways. The Godfather's role in the family enterprise is described by his name; he stands outside the next generation which will carry on and, hopefully, angle the family into legitimate enterprises.\

The film was proved a great success since 1972, the casting is wonderful and has long been selected as the best 10 films. It won the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Writing (adapted screenplay) for Francis Coppola and Mario Puzo, and Best Actor in a Leading Role for Marlon Brando, who refused to accept the award and sent Native American actress Sacheen Littlefeather to the Oscars in his place to explain his reasons. The film had been nominated for eight other Academy Awards.
The film was won five Golden Globes, one Grammy, and numerous other awards.
The film also reflects the rules of our life. We learnt a lot of useful tips of life through this meaningful film.

Huang He:
After viewing the film, I was shocked about the cure and reality of the gangster. Then I realized that it is truth of our life. The casters play were good, they can play every little detail well, and told me we what was inside their hearts. The movie gives me the truth that, if you want to survive, you must be strong, knows the cure of life.

Wang Hu:
The film is really meaningful and wonderful! The plot is good and attractive. After watching the film, I was still immersed in the movie, thinking about the problems occurred when watching it. I may watch it a second time to unfold the questions in my heart. I strongly recommend the film to all of us!
