Marathon Month | The Godfather Part II
-
Tue 29 Dec
Michael Corleone is now the head of the family. From his new home on Lake Tahoe, he attempts to expand the Corleone empire into Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba. But the greater his power becomes, the harder it is to determine who he can still trust.
An attack on his home makes it clear that the danger may also come from within. As Michael does business with the influential Hyman Roth and faces questioning by a Senate committee, his suspicion of those closest to him continues to grow.
At the same time, the film returns to the beginning of the twentieth century. Young Vito Andolini escapes from Sicily to New York, where he tries to build a new life. Slowly, he rises from a poor immigrant to become Don Vito Corleone, the man who will give the family its name, power and position.
Francis Ford Coppola tells both stories side by side. While Vito uses his power to build a family and a community, that same power drives Michael further away from his own. Robert De Niro plays the young Vito almost entirely in Italian, while Al Pacino turns Michael into an increasingly quiet and ruthless man.
The Godfather Part II won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for Robert De Niro. It remains one of the rare sequels considered at least the equal of the original.
