The God father

 

I had seen bits of this before- The sojourn to Scilly. I decided to watch it all the way through. 

I do like the scenes in Scilly- it reminds me of Northern Peru 

I did not realise Diane Keaton was in this film. Lots of action in and about Radio City I note too

New York seems cold in this film. I wonder if it was a bitter winter

One of the professors at school used the Godfather to illustrate the Roman system of patronage. He confused the undertaker and the baker.

I like the fact that the beginning, and the end of the film mirrored each other. The Daughters Wedding and the Daughter's child baptism.  

I like Robert Duval best in this film. I have always enjoyed his work - but it is a bravua peformance by Al Pacino and Brando

I note they refer to all Satan's pomp too. Interesting to hear it said like that
