The Godfather DVD Collection [DVD] [1972]

映像が本当に綺麗です。 時間の流れ方も素晴らしく。 人間の美しさを見事に表現しています。 (皆んな知ってますよねすみません) ということで、 作品の評価は他の方にお任せして (私的には星５どころでは無い) パソコン→再生可 英語字幕→有り ここが大切なのです。 流れが頭に入ってる人は、 是非英語字幕で鑑賞してみて下さい。 原文で観ると格段に人間を味わえます。 わざわざ字幕をというのは、 特にゴッドファーザーさん。 観て貰えれば言いたいことは伝わる筈… 出来たらイタリア語の字幕も欲しかった。 何言ってるか聞き取れない部分が かなりあるので… 英語にせよイタリア語にせよ 独特な台詞の読み自体も味なので そこをもっと味わいたいなっ…！！

Eine immer noch spannende, unterhaltsame und empfehlenswerte Serie..!

Godfather 1 and 2 are rightly judged to be two of the greatest films ever made - period. The positive reviews are entirely justified. If you have never seen these two films then you are in for a treat. I have given a fair few 5 stars before but the first two godfather films deserve a new classification of 10 stars - such is the sheer class of Coppola and when you watch the behind the scenes films your awe and wonder hit the stratosphere. Amazing Mr Coppola! The commentary is also excellent - the story about recreating the lost shirt in Godfather 2 during the Havana scene when cutting the cake is a personal favourite. The trilogy is a must buy but to be honest Part Three was a let down and fails on many levels - choice of actors for certain parts,forced dialogue searching for grandeur but sounding pretentious,a strange storyline which I felt took Michael's character and other characters in the wrong direction - Andy Garcia is good, Pacino is always awesome but we miss Tom Hagan - shame Duvall dropped out forcing Coppola tgo rewrite, I think that action pretty much ruined the whole film. Part 3 is an ok 3 star film when compared with other mainstream cinematic efforts but compared to the original two films falls woefully short. Nevr mind, the bonus extras and first two films and excellent effort put into this dvd package make this trilogy set a must buy...until they release the next set...and then the next set...and the next set...

A wonderful restoration of this classic film trilogy, overseen by their director, Francis Ford Coppola. I bought this DVD set for my Dad, who loves these movies. In fact, I got my love for them from him. The Godfather is the original classic from 1972, based on Mario Puzo's novel. It tells the story of a New York Mafia family and their personal and gangland dramas over a number of years in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The film is utterly absorbing, a great story made and acted to perfection. The Godfather Part II (1974) is the first sequel, and continues the story of the family while deploying flashbacks to their origins in Sicily and then turn-of-the-century New York (these sequences based on parts of Puzo's novel as well). It's long, complex and gripping - a wonderful sequel. The Godfather Part III came out later, in 1990, and is often considered a weak film in comparison with the other two. Of course it would be difficult to recapture the previous greatness, but Part III is a very good conclusion to the story and has plenty of qualities in its own right. It's touching and tragic and, like the others, beautiful filmmaking.

you can watch it over and over again...it's so good... Francis Ford Coppola's commentary is worth the price of purchase...
