Review: THE GODFATHER PART I A RADICAL FILM - Francis Ford Coppola was seen as a representative of the new generation of Hollywood film - makers and the success of the film guaranteed not only his artistic future but also improved the prospects of his contemporaries. Although it was directed by a `new' film - maker, The Godfather is essentially a traditional film: the subject matter - the world of ethnic crime - is familiar and has provided the basis for many previous films; the main thrust is a narrative one, though ranging widely in time and space; the story is told vividly and clearly; the stars are a mixture of established faces, such as Marlon Brando and Sterling Hayden, and promising newcomers - Al Pacino, James Caan and Diane Keaton. Many critics and reviewers have said that The Godfather is a radical film. This is a difficult argument to sustain, for the points the film makes about the place of crime in American Society. The intimate connections with the established representatives of law and politics, its control over legitimate enterprises, the analogies that can be made between the way crime and large corporations conduct their affairs are all familiar ones, and hardly the marks of a radical view of American Society. If anything, the film, with its admiration for a certain ideal of masculine purity based on honor, the ruthlessness, the use of violence and the maintenance of the family, is reactionary in outlook. Review: An absolute classic - Amazing film. Great performances from the late great Marlon Brando as The Godfather and Al Pacino as Michael Corleone. Great story, great characters, great everything. A must watch.

A superhit film of the 70's. Picture quality is not upto the Full HD level. Price is a bit over considering the picture quality
