Film
The Godfather(1972)
Don Vito Corleone ist der Kopf einer der einflußreichsten Mafia-Familien New Yorks. Als die anderen Familien der Stadt beschließen, neben Glücksspiel und Schutzgelderpressungen nun auch den Handel mit Drogen als Erwerbsquelle zu nutzen und sich Don Corleone diesem Vorhaben nicht anschließen möchte, wird er zum Ziel eines hinterhältigen Mordanschlags. Nun steht Vitos Sohn Michael in der Verantwortung, in die Fußstapfen seines Vaters zu treten, obwohl er mit den Geschäften der Familie bis dato nichts zu tun haben wollte.

Meine Kritik
Die Charakterentwicklung hier ist das, was die meisten Franchises über mehrere Filme hinweg zu erreichen versuchen. Die Bildsprache gehört zu den besten in jedem Film – man braucht kaum Dialog, um die ständige Spannung zu spüren. Der wunderschöne Score ist elegant und unvergesslich, mit Geigen, die die Emotionen und das italienische Flair einfangen, ohne je überwältigend zu sein. Ich bin so bereit für Teil 2.
