It has been nearly 50 years since one of the greatest gangster movies in the Godfather(1972), directed by Francis Ford Coppola(1972), came out. Based on Mario Puzo’s novel of the same name, this film tells the story of an American organized crime family from Sicily. This film is still one of the highest ranked movies.
The term “Mafia” originally also refers to the Sicilian Mafia, but its meaning has expanded to the extent that it can timely refer to organized criminal groups. These criminal organizations call themselves in their own terms, such as the Sicilian Mafia, Kosanostra, Yakuza, Bratva, but we usually call them Mafia. They are gambling, business Hundreds of legal and illegal departments such as drugs, finance, construction, protection threats, smuggling and kidnapping operate.
Because it can make money quickly, This kind of illegal work is very attractive to most people in the lower economic class. Because of people’s socio-economic background, the characters in mob movies often use slang and abuse. Purified dialogue is mostly regarded as aesthetic dishonesty. When it comes to relationships with women, the characters are very problematic. Brian de Palma In his scar face(1983), the hero Tony Montana follows the following rules: We are often abused by vulgar people. His relationship is very problematic.
Of course, there are exceptions. One of the exceptions is the “Godfather”(1972). Bitu Corleone(Malone Brando), the leader of the mafia family, seems to emphasize the importance of the family. A man should spend time with his wife and children. We didn’t hear any vulgar words, nor did we see any problems with his wife. Moreover, the Corleone family is a more advanced criminal family. We can’t say that all these special attitudes are also effective for Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino.
What are the best gangster movies?
In the United States, Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clide(1967) and Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather(1972) had a great influence on gangster themes. After that, Martin Scorsese shot Poor Streets(1973) and gained fame. It is another Scorsesch film, based on the true story, which was originally written by Nicholas Pilch’s novel book Wiseguy.
