"The Godfather" Parts I and II

From the Paper:

" This paper compares and contrasts the themes and characters of two of the greatest films of the 1970s, Francis Ford Coppola's productions of Mario Puzo's mob movies, The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II. The films tell the story of Vito Corleone and his son, Michael, and their rise to power as godfather of a powerful crime family. They provide a rich chronicle of the underside of the American dream. The first film was highly influential and critically well received. Its sequel is widely regarded as even better than the original in the ways that it builds on and enlarges the original story. Although both include many of the same characters, the second movie is more complex and multi-layered, and its themes are deeper. Together, they form a fascinating commentary on loyalty, honor, and family and the ways these qualities are intertwined with the American experience..."
