The film's performances, particularly Marlon Brando's iconic portrayal of Don Vito Corleone, have become legendary. Al Pacino's breakout performance as Michael Corleone cemented his status as a Hollywood star, and the film's supporting cast has become a who's who of 1970s cinema.
The Godfather is a masterpiece of cinematography by Gordon Willis (the "Prince of Darkness"). Watching a compressed, 700MB pirated copy from Filmyfly destroys the visual nuance. You lose the sepia-toned warmth, the shadows in Don Corleone’s office, and the crisp sound of Nino Rota’s waltz. You might as well be watching a soap opera. The Godfather -1972- Filmyfly.Com -
