I’ll show you a movie you cannot refuse. The Godfather is one of the best movies and books ever written in the world to me. The story is really of Michael Corleone and The Corleone family. The story is of the mafia, It starts off with Amerigo Bonsara, he is in the courtroom, for trial for 2 young men who beat his daughter and he knows only one man can help him, because the boys are not guilty. He goes to the Don. Don Corleone, if he were real would be one of the wisest and nice people you would ever meet. His story of the American dream. It is Connie’s wedding day, his daughter wedding and he cannot refuse a favor from anyone today, Amerigo Bonsara ask if he can get the 2 young men get whacked, and the Don gets it done. Throughout the movie the always refer to the Don as a man of respect, and that is what he is, but when the Don refuse and offer buy a man named Sollozo, he gets shot at and the Corleone family need to think fast, He got shot because he didn’t want to get in the drug business and the Turk (Sollozo) wanted the Don dead so the Turk and Sonny Corleone could do business. Sonny, the Don’s oldest and hotheaded, wants an all out war with the Turk, but luckily for him they have Tom Hagen, the Don’s adopted son and the Conseilgere, the Counselor, for the Family. The plan for Sonny is to take out the Turk and his partners, but Tom informs Sonny that if he does that there will be an all out war with the other 5 Families and that they might lose. The other thing is that Sollozo is untouchable, because his bodyguard is the police captain Mcclusky. The Turk just wants to do business, Sonny wants blood. Then Sonny gets a phone call from the Turk that they want a meeting with Michael and only him. The funny thing is that Michael didn’t want anything to do with the Family business, he hated it, he went off to join the Marines and fought in WW2, The Don hated it. So, while they are discussing ideas,
Michael says that why doesn’t he take out the Turk and Mcclusky, they are all laughing at the idea but Michael was serious, and Sonny saw it in his eyes. Al Pacino plays Michael and does a very good job at it too. So they train Michael to shot the gun well and to tell him what to do, that there is a car waiting for him and to drop the gun. So the meeting is on and to find out what happens, you are going to have to watch the movie.
