The Godfather 1972 Story line
This film is based on the book, “The Godfather: a novel” written by Mario Puzo. This story tells about 3 generations of Mafia heads who came to be known as The Corpo family in different times and situations.
Plot : In 1969-72, We are introduced with Michael (Al Pacino) played by an Italian American and the only son of Don Vito(played brilliantly by Marlon Brando). His father who was a very powerful Mafia boss receives news that the other family is going to kick him out of his land because he is getting old and they want a wiser successor who can take over while the current leader dies.
Exposition
As indicated by Don Vito, Michael is a very good-looking man who has all the ingredients necessary for running his family. He can attend to intricate planning and organize quiet and smooth operations as well as make deals with outside interests in order to protect his life at times of danger.
Although much awaited because Pacino’s acting was highly praised, it still did not go beyond expectations since this movie boring on emotions or strong performances and lacked in anything interesting to keep the audience in suspense. In short, it was a rather boring movie with an average storyline that after 1 hour, had me wishing for more.
The mafia bosses led by Don Vito were really impressive and got you hooked from all of them. You can understand why some people would do what they did because given proper support and explanation on how Mafia works at certain levels may cause every individual to think about their actions differently enabling them to not do crimes.
Rising Action
After Don Vito and his family picked up all the informations, they started moving towards those areas that were know to have ties with them which was really enjoyable. At some points of the journey we found out about how two people almost killed Michael’s son whom he was looking for (and nothing more). In short, I am assuming this is one such question that everyone would want answered after a movie such as The Godfather:
The story and how it progressed although better than usual left some loose end in order to push the storyline towards its next level however, there were still many unanswered questions that should continue this exploration where you can find out more about characters who are supposed to be from Mafia Jobs like Michael Corleone’s son Sonny.
Climax
It would be inappropriate to explain what happened or the solutions towards a review especially since some might use that information without it still being difficult for them (for example, I found out myself by reading other discussions on movies such as Goodfellas , The Godfather Part II , Pulp Fiction and more). My advice is just to read this movie so you can find out everything.
The reason why Mafia related films are considered blockbuster at some point in time is because you really want to see the final result. You do not want your curiosity to be quenched so I can easily say that Mafia Part II is one of those films where it ends with a bang rather than an ending scene so you first need to find out what actually happened in The Godfather: Part II and this is just my opinion after seeing more scenes than usual (just like twilight’s last mourn) Make sure
Falling Action
Going back to my previous comment, the story going on and even how it is told ; although slowly paced for some people in a way they could have expected (i.e ending), I can say that at least everything eventually ends up well so you should not worry when there are questions which will probably remain unanswered (at least for now).
However, if you do ask me what might be question marks like Unanswered? below or whatever question you may have, I will tell you the assumptions I came up with after seeing many details and information.
Conclusion
From what I have said, The Godfather: Part II is not a bad sequel in which you can find neat little details to pay attention on and follow suit though it still has the same style of storytelling. However, just like how most people would agree (and intend to watch) ; sometimes they come across false-information because people want things to be “all hunky dory” or something similar… Probably inspired by movies such as Paran.
