The Godfather; The greatest film since Citizen Kane

The Godfather is considered the best Hollywood film since Citizen Kane. The Film integrates many of the Values taught to us such as respect, family-ties, security, the friendship between men, importance of religion, and individualism. Michael and Don Vito's segments are both correlated in a linear way. Coppola shows the scenes of Don Vito and then scenes of Michael. This shows that the Godfather is a traditional dynasty film.

"The film always was a loose metaphor; Michael as America."
- Francis Ford Coppola
