I watched it recently for the first time, and I really don’t get why it’s so loved. IMDB rates it as the second-best movie of all time, but it seems far worse than that to me. I like most old movies and see their hype, but The Godfather didn’t do it for me. What am I missing?
Don’t get it either. It is such a flawed product.
A. Crime movies are supposed to have everyone die at the end. The godfather dies a successful old man playing with his grandchild.
B. Holy shit is it long
C. It feels like it demands to be appreciated. Every scene we are being told that we have to appreciate every scene.
