04/09/97: The Sequel

Posted By: Paul


I used to think that Godfather Part II was the rarest of movies: a sequel that was better than the original. But now that I've seen the Godfather on the big screen (which I had never seen on the silver screen before), I may have changed my mind.

I don't think that the Godfather Part II would have been nearly as effective had I not known who Vito Corleone was as a don (Marlon Brando). I'm glad that Puzo and Coppolo gave me insight into his youth (DeNiro), but I now think the issue is moot when considering who the don eventually became.

I suppose the same can be said of Michael.

Any thoughts?
