Godfather Series

Alright, so I FINALLY got to see the third Godfather!!!!
My sister got the set for my dad on his birthday.... it took us like, 2 and half months to see all three. LOL

I thought that the first and third were the best out of the series. The second one seemed to have jumped around so much, that I lost myself a couple of times, trying to figure some stuff out. The first one was amazing!!!!

--grainy texture to the film, the variety of actors, the clothes, the props, and of course, the locations. Everything just went together so well.

The third was amazing as well, since Al Pacino was at the top of his game. The second was made beautifully, just like the first, but the story jumped around so much, it often takes a few minutes (sometimes when it went back to the original event) to realize what is going on. Granted, there are other movies out there that are similar, but they are not a part of a series.

Francis Ford Coppola did a wonderful job with all three movies in the series, but I think that when the second was being made, something must have happened to Coppola that altered his perspective of his baby (the films).

However, I think that my perspective on critique has gone [literally] to the dogs with my A.P. Literature class. Not that I hate the teacher, but now, I am seeing things differently than I used to, and well, frankly, I don't really enjoy my new outlook on things. I am reading too much into things that are not that deep. Well, anywho, if I remember anything else about this amazing series, I will edit this post.

So, until next time--
