Godfather Review

I overall liked the Godfather. It was an interesting movie to watch, but I still do not understand what all the fuss over the movie is about and why it is such a classic. I thought of it as just another "mob and crime" movie. I liked how close the family was, despite them being a criminal family. They seemed just like any other family out there, loving and caring for each other. One of the most interesting parts of the movie was in the end when Michael Corleone's wife looks over to him and sees that Michael has become exactly like his father. It was ironic because in the beginning of the movie, Michael told his then girlfriend that he would never become anything like his father, but he ends up doing exactly the opposite. That moment had a lasting impression on me.
Vito Corleone is the moral character, despite chopping off the head of a director's horse, because he was the one who brought together all of the heads of the crime families and worked out a "treaty" to help end their war against each other. I think it was sad when Vito died in the tomato plant near his grandson. It shows sort of a softer side to him and truly cared about his family. If he had died in his office, I think I may have thought differently.
This movie is, I guess, a little different from every other crime movie, because it takes you into the minds of the people involved in the crime. You sort of have sympathy for Vito Corleone when he dies because you get to so more of his side, rather than his victims' side. I guess that that could be the reason for this being a classic.
