In the annals of sequel history, The Godfather: Part IIsomehow manages to be a monumental success. I’m someone who can’t jump into that debate of whether the first or the second film is better. They’re both incredible to me. They truly feel like one cinematic experience to the point that when they crafted The Godfather Sagacut for television editing the two films together chronologically, it was seamless. My lone complaint with this 4K release of the trilogy is we don’t get that multipart re-edit of the first two films. Regardless, it’s very difficult for me to watch The Godfatherwithout jumping right into The Godfather: Part II. They’re one story." 5/5

Godfather World (11 minutes): This is a look at the ways the movies have infiltrated American culture, with comments from Chase, actor Joe Mantegna, Alex Baldwin, and others. In what is undeniably one of the best sequels ever made, Francis Ford Coppola continues his epic Godfather trilogy with this saga of two generations of power within the Corleone family. Coppola, working once again with the author Mario Puzo, crafts two interwoven stories that work as both prequel and sequel to the original. One shows the humble Sicilian beginnings and New York rise of a young Don Vito, now played in an Oscar®-winning* performance for Best Supporting Actor by Robert De Niro. The other shows the ascent of Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. landscape, featuring more suitable balance and brilliance than found in previous releases. Whites are gorgeous.

Few films have had as strong or lasting an impact on American popular culture as Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Trilogy. Widely considered to be one of the greatest Hollywood pictures of all time—along with Citizen Kane and Casablanca— The Godfather is a masterclass of cinematic restraint. The Godfather Part II has grown in stature to be regarded among the finest sequels ever made. And if the trilogy’s third act, The Godfather Part III—now presented as Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone—is thought of as a kind of cinematic Fredo, it remains a worthy conclusion nonetheless, offering occasional flashes of Coppola’s earlier brilliance. Three Colors Trilogy (Blue, White, Red) (US release from Criterion/ UK) – 4/17/23 (delayed from 4/3) – N4K The way Coppola and his actors approach performance brings up the controversy of Sofia Coppola’s casting as Michael’s doomed daughter, Mary. Her line readings are sometimes flat, and at other times awkward. But in contrast to the other players, she’s startlingly pure, her unseasoned candor making her tragic function in the story more heart-wrenching. There’s an unexpected feeling of truth as she delivers her last line (“Dad?”) on the steps outside the opera house, breaking up the theatrical masquerade over which Michael has presided. Coppola gives his tragedy a twist that goes beyond King Lear, one of his film’s models. Michael, unlike Lear weeping at the death of his beloved Cordelia, doesn’t die of grief. Rather, it’s implied that he lingers on for years, alone in the company of despair and sorrow. brute force to get their way. Don Vito's refusal to enter into the drug business, against the better

There’s plenty of behind-the-scenes footage to be found here, including some interesting Godfather screen tests, such as Robert DeNiro trying out for the role of Sonny.Coppola’s archetypal sensibility is the hook that makes the Godfather trilogy so compelling, an emotional buttress that registers deeply through the thorny convolutions of each film’s narrative. Indeed, one of the remarkable things about The Godfather—commensurate with Brando’s performance—is how the emotional clarity of this one family’s story so powerfully emanates through the soup of business and politics.
