The story begins as Don Vito Corleone, the head of a New York
Mafia family, overseeshis daughter's wedding. His beloved son ichael has just come
home from the war, but does not intend to become part of his father's business.
T hrough Michael's life the nature of the family business becomes clear. The
business of the family is just like the head of the family, kind and benevolent
to those who give respect, but given to ruthless violence whenever anything stands
against the good of the family.
Francis Ford Coppola's legendary continuation and
sequel to his landmark 1972 film, The_Godfather parallels the young Vito
Corleone's rise with his son Michael's spiritual fall, deepening The_Godfather's
depiction of the dark side of the American dream. In the early 1900s,
the child Vito flees his Sicilian village for America after the local
Mafia kills his family. Vito struggles to make a living, legally or
illegally, for his wife and growing brood in Little Italy, killing the
local Black Hand Fanucci after he demands his customary cut of the tyro's
business. With Fanucci gone, Vito's communal stature grows.
After a break of more than 15 years, director Francis Ford Coppola and
writer Mario Puzo returned to the well for this third and final story of
the fictional Corleone crime family. Two decades have passed, and crime
kingpin Michael Corleone, now divorced from his wife Kay has nearly
succeeded in keeping his promise that his family would one day be
completely legitimate.
