The film received universal acclaim from critics and audiences, with praise for the performances, particularly those of Brando and Pacino, the directing, screenplay, cinematography, editing, score, and portrayal of the mafia.
Why is The Godfather considered a classic?
*It made Italians seem like more fully realised people and not stereotypes… it helped Italianise American culture. The Godfather also changed the star system of the 1970s. As Don Vito Corleone, Marlon Brando won the Best Actor Oscar (which he refused), and was returned to leading man status.
