The most amazing piece of film of the seventh art is obviously "The Godfather" the movie who mark a generation with his unforgettable quotes and characters.

The movie was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who made the trilogy of the Corleone Family but the biggest movie was, and always will be, the first part, who win three Academy Awards in 1972 in the categories of Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay. This last award is very important because "the Godfather" was originally a book writen by Mario Puzo, an Italian american author who also colaborated with the movie.

The Corleone Family has differents members, in first place, the unique and dominant Don Corleone, the father and the gangster, who is capable to do anything for his family and his business. His sons and partners in the bussines was Michael (the natural succesor), Santino (best know as Sonny), Constanzia (the only daughter and the story who begin the trilogy)and Frederico (Freddo, the "black sheep" of the family). Obviously we can't forget the character of Robert Duvall, the loyal Tom Hagen.
One of the most adorable characters of the movie, is a young Diane Keaton who was the wife of Michael Corleone, Kay Adams, who suffered in the next movies, the price of the family bussines.

Marlon Brando is something special, his portrayal of a leader of a Ganster´s group is amazing and is the real reason because I really like this movie, and even if you don't want, you're always going to remember the famous quotes of this character. If you answer What day of the week is? Don Vito response you: "Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday." (with his unforgettable tone of voice).

One the most curious thing of the movie, is the "presence" of oranges every time when a death scene it's going to start, for example, when a group of mens try to attemp against the life of Don Corleone, he is buying oranges, and in the end of the movie, when he is playing with his grandson, he is eating oranges, and then, like everybody knows he dies.

Under this lines, I let you a video about the presence of the oranges, enjoy...

And one of the most bloody moments of the movie, is the revenge against an enemy of Don Corleone, when his partners left a head (yes, a HEAD) of the favorite horse of his enemy in his bed.

Now I let the trailer, If you haven't seen the movie until now, you're commited a crime...
