I'm very unconvinced the Godfather was ever going for realism or seen that way. It always offered a romanticised view of gangsters and contemporary reviews noted this. I think the key element it changed in its depiction of gangsters is that instead of as villains, they're depicted in almost regal fashion, a story of a king passing on the kingdom to his sons. In the case of Part II especially, was clearly modelled on classical tragedy and Michael Corleone, is a tragic hero in the classic sense - a Macbeth or Orestes. A far cry from realism.
I think The Godfather is what really cemented this idea of the head brass of the Mafia being these dignified, upper class gentlemen who follow this strict code of honour, which is probably why innocents are rarely if ever killed in these films. They’re still violent sociopaths but still follow laws of respect and gratitude, which sort of falls apart when you get to films like Once Upon A Time In America or Goodfellas. We’re meant to look at the Corleones, or at least Vito, as the moral right. He values, above all else, respect, and will only commit crimes that he feels doesn’t taint society, and does all that he does for his family.

The New Hollywood era was a time where directors could make a film, tear up the rule book, and be as creative as far as the imagination and technical limitations could let them. That's why I love it so much. You could make a French New Wave and 30s gangster flick inspired crime film like Bonnie and Clyde, you could make a 3 hour epic gangster film like The Godfather, and you could make a special effects filled walkthrough of Joseph Campbell's Hero with a thousand faces theory like Star Wars. Anything was possible back then. Thankfully, the influence of that era can still be seen today in other mediums of storytelling like indie films. Many anime like Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, the Studio Ghibli films, and Monogatari can be considered a spiritual successor to the New Hollywood way of filmmaking and storytelling in my opinion, because they do a lot of wild and wacky genre bending, yet they are somehow able to maintain themselves in a serious light and keep their audiences entertained. So you won't have to look very far in my opinion
I usually always enjoy your videos but this one I found a bit too distracting because the background music was overbearing and unnecessarily dominant, so to be frank I eventually just shut it off. However, I do look forward to your future uploads.
I wonder if a new new hollywood is on the way as studios scramble to survive the aftermath of 2020 spilling into 2021. Or maybe hiding in streaming services they will be more conservative than ever before.
Your channel is good but please cut out the bombastic EDM type background music. It will honestly elevate your videos above the hundreds of other movie channels that use this generic style of music.

the initial sequence was so so cool .

I first watched this movie when I rented it from the library during grade school. Been my favorite ever since

That was a very stylish analysis. And a very pleasant one to experience.
What a great education in film. Thanks for all you do.
bro this music SLAPS
The horse head was real.
(PS: great video. Excited for the series!)
Excellent analysis
The perfect symbosis between a studio assignment and a personal auteur vision... Thanx!!
The movie so good they show it every weekend on some tv channel.
A series dedicated to my favorite era in all of film. You don't need to say anything more.
Your editing is always top notch
Thank you for such an instightful video. I loved every bit of it
Please, please, please: whats the song in the intro? The opening was cool af
Soundtrack?
Epic, great job.
Good video, but that music in the background is way too loud and distracting. You should turn it off in future videos
What music tracks do you use here
Whats the music you use for the Mubi pitch at the end of the Video?
so Coppola' is making Vito both a hero and a villain.
He's called a Anti hero
🏴☠️👹👿
I should probably, y'know, actually watch this film in full instead of watching analysis channels.
I wonder if a new new hollywood is on the way as studios scramble to survive the aftermath of 2020 spilling into 2021.
Or maybe hiding in streaming services they will be more conservative than ever before.
Michael renounces Satan, because he can't worship a lesser evil than him.
Godammit. I can't watch it because of the constant ANNOYING background music.
