1.I did not see any of the Mario Puzo movies until I was a senior in college. We had a Netflix account and had run out of the foreign films I fancied and the Wesley Snipes movies my other roommate enjoyed, so we went to some classic gangster movies. I was blown away by what I saw when it came to the vision of Francis Ford Coppola. Now you have a chance to experience what I did in a whole new way.Starting this September 23rd, now available on DVD from Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment and the mind and vision of Francis Ford Coppola comes the ultimate edition of the greatest trilogy of gangster movies ever made. The Godfather – The Coppola Restoration is ready to burst into your living room, gun down your opposition and take you on a journey into the world of mob life. Bring home this definitive edition of one of the most influential movie series in American history.Let’s be honest here – these movies do not need any explanation. Abe Vigoda, Al Pacino, James Caan, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Mario Puzo, Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Duvall, Andy Garcia, Diane Keaton – these are the names which are completely linked to one of the greatest and most majestic movie series in the world. These three movies were nominated for 28 Academy Awards and won nine of them, including two for Best Picture.This collector’s edition DVD boxed set is completely loaded down with special features. Each film comes completely remastered, in widescreen and with the original optional audio commentary from Francis Ford Coppola. In addition to the three movies, there are also two DVDs of nothing but special features. The first of those discs contain the original supplemental materials from the 2001 release, including a making of featurette, some additional scenes, a look into the family tree of the Corleones, the historical timeline of the movie and much, much more. The second disc is all new materials, including four short films about the movies, a look into how filming was almost stopped many times on the first film and so much more.These movies are wonderful and seeing them in their restored glory is even greater. The special features breathe new life into movies which some of us have seen so many times that their appeal was beginning to fray on the edges. Francis Ford Coppola put, as we see in the special features, unbelievable amounts of work into the movies and he also put that same level of effort into the restoration of them. The final product speaks for itself.2."I believe in America" -- and America embraced The Godfather, turning it into a landmark artistic triumph and blockbuster hit. The movie was initially planned as a low-budget adaptation of Mario Puzo's Mafia family best-seller, and young director Francis Ford Coppola was hired because Paramount thought he would be easy to control. Instead, he fought the studio to cast little-known Al Pacino as Michael Corleone and foundering Marlon Brando as Don Vito, and he turned The Godfather into an operatic period epic about family, honor, and American economic success (the word "Mafia" is never used); in return, he was almost fired during production. The finished film's narrative drive and imagery were astonishing. Beginning with the opening sequence intercutting Vito's sepulchral study with the bright wedding outside, Coppola renders the Corleones threatening in their business and appealing in their closeness as they negotiate the legacy of Vito's prosperity. Gordon Willis' shadowy cinematography infused the film with shades of black, brown, and gold, contrasting bleak Family dealings with warm family loyalty. The famously extreme violence, particularly the horse head and Sonny's tollbooth demise (echoing 1967's Bonnie and Clyde), revealed the cost of protecting the family honor; the baptism montage elevated Michael's corruption to diabolical proportions as he consolidates his business power. Highly anticipated and critically revered, The Godfather became one of the biggest box-office hits of all time, adding several catchphrases to the cultural lexicon, revitalizing the gangster genre, turning Pacino into a star, and reviving Brando's career. Nominated for 11 Oscars, The Godfather won Best Picture, but Brando snubbed his Best Actor prize and Coppola lost Best Director to Cabaret's Bob Fosse. Willis' cinematography wasn't even nominated, and although Nino Rota's memorable music did initially receive a nomination, the Academy rescinded it when they discovered that Rota included material in the score from one of his earlier compositions. In 1998, the American Film Institute named The Godfather one of the three greatest American films ever made, testifying to its enduring artistic legacy. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide 3.Popularly viewed as one of the best American films ever made, the multi-generational crime saga The Godfather is a touchstone of cinema: one of the most widely imitated, quoted, and lampooned movies of all time. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino star as Vito Corleone and his youngest son, Michael, respectively. It is the late 1940s in New York and Corleone is, in the parlance of organized crime, a "godfather" or "don," the head of a Mafia family. Michael, a free thinker who defied his father by enlisting in the Marines to fight in World War II, has returned a captain and a war hero. Having long ago rejected the family business, Michael shows up at the wedding of his sister, Connie (Talia Shire), with his non-Italian girlfriend, Kay (Diane Keaton), who learns for the first time about the family "business." A few months later at Christmas time, the don barely survives being shot by gunmen in the employ of a drug-trafficking rival whose request for aid from the Corleones' political connections was rejected. After saving his father from a second assassination attempt, Michael persuades his hotheaded eldest brother, Sonny (James Caan), and family advisors Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) and Sal Tessio (Abe Vigoda) that he should be the one to exact revenge on the men responsible. After murdering a corrupt police captain and the drug trafficker, Michael hides out in Sicily while a gang war erupts at home. Falling in love with a local girl, Michael marries her, but she is later slain by Corleone enemies in an attempt on Michael's life. Sonny is also butchered, having been betrayed by Connie's husband. As Michael returns home and convinces Kay to marry him, his father recovers and makes peace with his rivals, realizing that another powerful don was pulling the strings behind the narcotics endeavor that began the gang warfare. Once Michael has been groomed as the new don, he leads the family to a new era of prosperity, then launches a campaign of murderous revenge against those who once tried to wipe out the Corleones, consolidating his family's power and completing his own moral downfall. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and winning for Best Picture, Best Actor (Marlon Brando), and Best Adapted Screenplay, The Godfather was followed by a pair of sequels. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

冷静,冷血,狡猾,双面人格再看看别人怎么说的。

"The Godfather" is a gangster capitalist society about the entire U.S. ground force systems dominate the control group the story of ups and downs in the story, is very vivid characterization. Kao Liang hero and his son Michael foresight resilient, ultimately get rid of their mortal enemy of the family business to reach their peak, even though I disagree with their established set of so-called "underground order," but out on the characterization of the novel heart of the Kao Liang respect to his ground forces led by Kao Liang Group is mainly engaged in smuggling of imported olive oil from Italy, opening casinos and so on. His influence throughout the U.S. East and West throughout the crucial point in the various government departments have him. He resourceful and eager to protect and support the people reverently dubbed him "godfather." He is also responsive to the following, what it says, to win the people's fear. Any thing, as long as he would secretly or openly a hand in the development and changes in accordance with his will. He is a true all-powerful figure in American society. In particular his position and his humility, combined with his attitude of doing things that really awesome cool. Is what he had done to his family business success. Another novel depicts the hero Michael inherited his father's right, he has amazing self-confidence, believe that their choice is the best, I believe that even if he is lying should be, and it is correct, so that people can hide themselves well evil, even if he were to die bad, people still admire him, and still think he is one of the best, he will not do evil things! Even Michael's wife did not believe he would kill, but he did kill, and with his father's carefully cultivated is certainly not live up. In our real life really is the most powerful and such a terrible person, with indomitable fighting spirit, a deep reservoir of hatred in their hearts, waiting for a suitable time to carry out long-planned program. Bear with the situation that only people can do great things, the novel his first wife for his death, even though he knows enemy's hiding place, and the ability to kill him, but he always wait until the last of the large-scale attack on the time. He and his father are "good" men, at least in the kind of environment they are. A lot of information that "" The Godfather "is a nature of American society, capitalist society, no fat, to avoid exposing the underground activities of work," I do not know the author of the novel there is no such meaning, at least I have not personally see his own evaluation of the novel is so, is not that they do not know the meaning out of nothing on the Flurry of a pass, even if the meaning of this true, that such a phenomenon reflected in the story in today's China, there is no thing in it? Our country is not capitalist ah, the jungle, and certainly there. We all have to see the mainstream! Reading this novel made me realize that "no matter what kind of society can survive in the competition who is strong, this world has no absolute good or bad, in different societies exist only two kinds of people is a good man in his own eyes, the eyes of the enemy is bad, because it had different interests, and conflict of interest, these things not only exist in a capitalist country, in any society there will be. " 【译文】《教父》是一个讲述资本主义社会中黑帮人物对整个美国地下势力集团体系的独霸控制的故事,故事情节波澜起伏，人物刻画也十分生动。 主人公考利昂和他的儿子迈克尔高瞻远瞩能屈能伸，最终除掉了他们的死敌使他们的家族事业达到顶峰，虽然我不赞同他们所确立的那套所谓的“地下次序”，但对作者刻画出来的小说里的考利昂心怀敬仰，以他为首的考利昂地下势力集团主要经营的是从意大利走私进口橄榄油、开设赌场等等。他的势力遍及美国东西南北各地，在政府各个要害部门也都有他的人。他神通广大，渴求保护和支持的人们虔诚地尊称他为“教父”。他对下面也有求必应，说话算数，从而赢得了人们的敬畏。随便什么事，只要他暗地或公开一插手就会按照他的意志发展变化。他是美国社会真正叱咤风云的人物。特别是他所处的地位和他的谦卑，再加上他那种冷静处事的态度真令人生畏。也正是他所做的一切成就了他的家族事业。 小说刻画的另一个主人公迈克尔继承他父亲的权利，他有惊人的自信，相信自己的选择是最好的，相信即使自己撒谎也是应该的，也是正确的，所以这种人能够很好的掩藏自己的罪恶，即使他坏得不行了，别人依旧敬佩他，依旧觉得他是个世上最好的人，他不会做邪恶的事！就连迈克尔的爱人都不相信他会杀人，但是他确实杀人了，加上他父亲的精心栽培肯定是不负重望。在我们的现实生活中真正最厉害和可怕的也是这样一种人，有着顽强的斗志，把仇恨深深的藏的心底，等待着一个合适的时机进行蓄谋已久的计划。那种忍辱负重也只有成就大事的人才能够做得到，小说中他的第一任妻子为他而死，尽管他知道仇人的藏身之处，也有能力杀掉他，但他始终等到了最后的大举进攻之时。他和他的父亲都是“优秀”的男人，至少在那种环境中他们是。 很多资料说“《教父》是一部反映美国社会的本质，揭露资本主义社会无发避免的地下党活动的著作”，我不知道这部小说的作者有没有这个意思，至少目前我还没有亲眼所见他本人对小说是这样评价的，也不知道是不是他们无中生有对作者的意思乱舞一通，就算作者真有这样的意思，那这样一个故事所反映的现象在我们今天的中国就没有嘛吗？我们国家可不是资本主义国家啊，弱肉强食肯定也是存在的。我们都必须得看清主流！ 读了这部小说使我认识到“不管在一个什么样的社会中能够在竞争生存下去的人就是强者，世间也没有绝对的好坏之分，在不同的社会中只存在两种人，自己在自己眼里就是好人，在敌人眼里就是坏人，因为有着不同的利益，和利益的冲突，这些东西不光是在资本主义国家存在，在任何一个社会中都会有的。”

具体就不写，高中作业字数100~120,《教父》么，围绕loyal，Brothersandlove

渴望摆脱家族的背景，但无奈身陷其中，老头子是最了解他的这个幺儿子，所以他宁可把家族总权交给他，也不愿交给嗜血成性的大儿子桑儿。结果，他的幺儿子没有让他失望，迈克尔的双重性格使他在地下帝国中能够很好的发挥。但是他渴望融入正常的社会，使自己的家族转变成社会名流，正如他女友的渴望就是他心灵一面，其责任感是很大的。迈克尔是个值得赞扬，值得同情的角色。
