What struck me in "The Godfather."

       The fact that the "God Father" was a movie based on the Italian culture, was enough to hold my attention from the very beginning. Italian people are lively, and know how to keep you interested for the most part due to their confident nature. When Micheal Colione killed a guy at a restaurant, it was very unexpected; the film was very unpredictable. Naturally, an unexpected scene is going to be more believable and made the killing appear even more brutal by the old man's response and the way he convulsed and shook uncontrollably.
        I love the seriousness of the one  guy with the broad shoulders that said "we don't discuss business at the table." Capturing. The seriousness of the film was evident when an Italian man abuses his wife while she is pregnant. It displayed complete inhumane qualities which created suspense and forced emotion from the audience. However, the brother getting pushed to the limit was very relatable ( his violent behavior in such a common dilema.)
       Any day, the film was very suspenseful and contained denouement; there were multiple scenes which ended in climax. To illustrate, when Coliones' wife is blown up in the parked vehicle. Indeed, this particular scene proved the writer was daring and knew what his audience would love. Surprisingly, the resolution of the movie consists of Colione taking the place of his father and carrying on his role in society. Does the protagonist (son ) do a complete three-sixty and become the antagonist  (father )? Hmmmm.......
