	The Godfather (1972)

		Family loyalty and blood ties are juxtaposed with brutal and vengeful blood-letting and the inevitable downfall of the family.
		Corleone: We've known each other many years, but this is the first time you ever came to me for counsel or for help.

		Among his struggles are various attempts to diversify the family interest with business ventures in Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba along with the strain of managing his family that's constantly falling apart at the seams.
		Thus the tension of Michael's leadership in the family as its one member raised under legitimate, non-criminal circumstances is continually at odds with the American crucible of capitalism.
		Where the elder Vito Corleone warned his sons and allies of the dangers of new industries like the drug trade in the first film, he was subscribing to an old-World perspective where few things are more important than the connections of family loyalty.

		When Don Vito Corleone dies Michael completes his ascension to the family's throne with Tom's devotion and his own wily instincts as one who's tasted the legitimate American dream but was forced to relinquish his fantasies and protect his own.
		Instead the conflicts of ethnic tension, immigrant connection to homelands, the blood bonds of family and the interconnectedness of official corruption with business success are made the tapestry of gangsterism and domestic melodrama.
		As a result their script and Coppola's resulting film give the viewer a sense of the Corleone enterprise as being like any other story of pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps successes with the exception that the family's pursuits are decidedly illegitimate.

		There is overwhelming evidence that the Corleone family itself is in trouble: Connie's willful and spiteful slattern, brother Fredo's (John Cazale) seemingly helpless drunk, and the unraveling of Michael's marriage to his wife, Kay (Diane Keaton).
		He destroys the Corleones' enemies both to consolidate his own power and to put an end once and for all to the strife that killed his brother, wounded his father and threatened to cripple the family business.
		The final shot of Michael Corleone alone in the Sierra woods is of a man who has reached the apex of his profession in terms of power and wealth, but who has lost his humanity and his family in the process.

		Trivia: There is a rumor that Burt Reynolds was originally cast as Sonny Corleone but Marlon Brando wouldn't act with him, considering him more a TV star.
		Marlon Brando is Don Vito Corleone, head of perhaps the most powerful New York-area mafia family in the 1940s, in this well-respected film by director/writer Francis Ford Coppola.
		To the extent that Coppola and Puzo just focus on the extended Corleone family, they create tremendous depth in their relationships.

		To that end, Michael Corleone, as the head of the Corleone family at the end of both previous films, would naturally again be the central character.
		In keeping with the Old World values of the Corleones, the New World era of Vietnam, civil rights, hippies, and Watergate are wholly absent from the Corleone family history.
		In the arc of the Corleone family, the American social history of the 1960s and 1970s is irrelevant (although since much of The Godfather, Part III takes place in Sicily, one wonders what Coppola might have done had he taken an interest in the Red Brigades).

	Reviews of The Godfather's Revenge by Mark Winegardner
		Corleone's former top mob lieutenant, Nick Geraci, is on the run and plotting his own bloody revenge and takeover of the Corleone family.
		Sonny Corleone's daughter Francesca gets to college and momentarily considers changing her name to the whitebread "Fran Collins," And Fredo becomes the host of a TV program called "The Fred Corleone Show" for which Winegardner has constructed amusing transcripts.
		The competition to continue the Godfather saga was won by Ohio author Mark Winegardner, whose own novels (The Veracruz Blues, 1996; Crooked River Burning, 2001) display a gift for propulsive narration and a grasp of the social, religious, and political forces that affect individuals' destinies and traits—and, indeed, that are reminiscent of Puzo.

		Even though Don Emilio Barzini attended the wedding of Vito Corleone’s daughter Connie, don’t believe for a second that these families are friends.
		The Barzinis, hands down the toughest family in the game, shouldn’t even be dealt with until you’ve got most level 3 gun upgrades (at least the Street Sweeper) and plenty of explosives (molotovs, dynamite and time bombs) on hand.
		Be sure to know where the nearest FBI agents are at all times as you’re going to want to keep the vendetta levels down when battling with the Barzinis…they’re hard enough to beat when they’re not attacking you on sight.

		The question of whether one can lose his family while trying to save it is central to the Godfather myth, as is the question of whether there is truly any difference between Mafia dons and the supposedly more respectable masters who can merely hit humanity with a push of a button.
		And it was this point, this brilliant point—that what would really do in the Corleone family was the same thing that was going to do in a whole generation of families in America—drugs.
		He’s adopted (though never officially given the last name) and his personal search for legitimacy within the Corleone family mirrors that of his adoptive family in their search for the same recognition and respect in America.
