THE GODFATHER
According to the novel which
it is based on, the most accurate film I´ve ever watched is “The Godfather”. Everything
on it is exactly as the writer tells us in the book. All the story follows the
plot, more or less.
It begins showing us the
powerful Corleone´s family, with all its members. During the film we can know
all of them: how they are and how they act depending on their different
personalities, the problems they have, their own thoughts and disputes.
The plot is very close, and it
tells us the events that happen with all kind of details: the murders, the
kidnappings, the dangerous environment of the city or the conflicts into the
family. I think that recreating the violent atmosphere where everything happens
and they have to live and take decissions makes the film really accurate.
The actors are great and they
look exactly like the writer describes them throughout the book. We can
highlight Marlon Brando´s character because when somebody hears about “The
Godfather”, his image with his suit on, his moustache, and his great charisma
stroking his white cat appears automatically in your mind.
New York, the city where part
of the story takes place, seems really accurate to the book and to the time
when it happens.
Also things like the clothes
people wear, the cars or even the weapons they use in the film are quite
similar.
The book is great, and it
didn´t seem easy to make such a great film based on it. Both of them are some of my favourite.
