It is difficult to find any flaws in this film. Writer/Director Francis Coppola takes the Corleone saga to new levels. The flashback sequences with DeNiro as Young Vito are spectacular and add to the power of the story. Al Pacino brilliantly plays Michael - in fact, all of the players are excellent
The story line is simple: Michael has taken the most powerful crime
family to new heights. He partners with Heyman Roth influencing the corupt Batista regime in Cuba just prior to the Castro revolution. While in Cuba he discovers his brother Fredo’s secret which leads Michael to further distrust the world.
His wife Kay, beautifully played by Diane Keaton, begins to doubt her love of Michael. Ultimately, the final solutions at the end only lead Michael to the final powerful scene.
Power, corruption, love, murder…. are all interwoven into this superb film. I never tire of watching this movie.
