The Godfather

This morning l'm going to talk about the greatest - in my opinion - film "The Godfather". My talk will be in 4 parts. First, l'd like to focus on story of the film. Second, HI tell you about awarded prizes. After that l'll move on to salary of actors played in this film, and curiosities connected with Godfather.

The Godfather is an American 1972 crime drama film based on the 1969 novel of the same name by Mario Puzo. Ifs story about a Mafia crime family and the outbreak of a New York City gang war in the late 1940’s. The story revolves around Vito Corleone, a leader of organized crime He's the one who pulls all the strings and watches his puppets dance from behind the stage and out of sight. When other criminals try to involve his organization in the drug trade, Corleone resists (odpierać) attacks and he protect his family. Conflicts with other families grow up, and break out and take effect death of many people, from Corleone, Tataglia, Barzini I Solozzio families.

Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather began setting sales records, becoming the fastest selling book up to its time. The novel has sold over 21 million copies worldwide.

It's enormous popularity increased when Francis Ford Coppola‘s movie version was released. The Godfather received Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay, In Golden Globe for best screenplay, actor, director, story, and BAFTA award for best musie . In addition, it is ranked as the second greatest film in American cinematic history, behind Citizen Kane.

Now, let's move on to salaries. Al Pacino, James Caan and Dianę Keaton each received $35,000 for their work on The Godfather, and Robert Duvall got $36,000 for eight weeks of work. Marlon Brando, on the other hand, was paid $50,000 for six weeks and weekly expenses of $1,000, plus 5% of the film, togethe $1.5 million.

The Godfather is one of the very few films that doesn’t have a single flaw. Seeing The Godfather for the first time was the most amazing movie experiences of my life. There’s scenes that stay with you when the movies over, and you don’t forget them. The dialogue is just unbelievable. I’ve seen the movie many times, and l'm still amazed at how perfect it is.

Notę: ranked H2 in the American Film lnstitute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.

Tell me a movie that is morę famous than this? Tell me a movie that has had morę parodies spinned off its storyline than this? Tell me one movie that has been as quoted as a much as this. The answer is you can't. No movie has had as much of an impact as The Godfather has had ever sińce it was released. That's bring me to the end of my presentation. Thank you for your attention, and I hope you have no questions Q
