Godfather Part II, The (1974)

Vito Corleone arrives in New York.

Shawn

Once again we join the Corleone family for about three hours. This time the story spans over two generations, following a great juxtaposition between the early rise of the Vito Corleone family and the breaking apart of it 40+ years later at the hands of his son, Michael Corleone. Part II dives deeper into the emotional ties of the Corleone family, and what it's like to be part of the mob. After all the deceit, the revenge, and the killings, the power doesn't count for anything when it's accompanied by such emptiness. The "business" can kill you in more than one way. The closing scene at the end of the movie shows just how dramatically things and people can change over time and is extremely poignant.
