The Godfather 4K 1972

Francis Ford Coppola's legendary film tells the story of an Italian-American family that is one of the largest Mafia gangs in New York City. The film became a 'masterpiece of world cinema', garnering a huge number of box-office returns and receiving all kinds of film awards, while winning the incredible love of audiences around the world and recognition from professional critics and film critics.

Undoubtedly, a special role in the success of the film was played by its literary source material. The author of the bestselling book of the same name by Marco Piuso created a truly great work, uniquely accurate in revealing the specifics of the criminal world of the Italian mafia. And the director of the tape incomparably transferred the events of the book to the screen, brilliantly using the entire cinematic potential of the literary masterpiece.

Of course, the cast of the movie deserves a special mention. Marlon Brando, who played the head of the Corleone family, showed his endless creative skills phenomenally. Thanks to this work his career has found a 'second wind', allowing him to forever deserve the title of 'legend of world cinema'. And in general, 1972 for Marlon was extremely successful, because in addition to 'The Godfather' he brilliantly appeared in another legendary film - 'Last Tango in Paris' by Bernardo Bertolucci. Brando - a unique artist, which forever changed the understanding of acting and inspired a countless number of future legendary actors after him. Al Pacino is undoubtedly one of them. In this film, it was as if he had taken over the professional baton from Marlon. Pacino acted as the younger son of Don Corleone, who initially does not want to follow in the footsteps of his Mafia family, but by the will of disastrous circumstances he is forced in small steps to the criminal side, which in the end is able to change his sound, pure mind beyond recognition.

Also worth noting is James Caan, who plays the role of Vito Corleone's eldest son, who has a violent, intemperate temper that repeatedly drives him into a frenzy. And, of course, Robert Duvall, who portrayed a special member of the Corleone family. His character is a lawyer and Don's adopted son playing an important role in the successful development of the family business. In general, the entire cast did a terrific job, amazingly vividly embodying the diverse characters of this unique film production.

As a result, 'The Godfather' is a legend of world cinema, brilliantly revealing the life of a single criminal family and precisely illustrating the realities of the Mafia world, as brutal as it is romantic.
