Francis Ford Coppola’s godfather has set new foundations in the Italian Gangster Cinema, with this archetype with realism and anchors, in reality that will be removed as much as possible. However, the specialist disagrees.
“It never happened”
Former Gangster Anthony Ruggiano’s younger Internal (Transferred Collider), The godfather is not free from minor flaws when it comes to Cosa Nostra’s modus operandi. The scene, which is the most problem, is crucial for the movie: This is the one in which Michael Corleone goes to the restaurant and decides to shoot Virgil Solozo (Al Leth) and Mark McClusk (Sterling Heiden).
“Don’t make me say what I didn’t say, it is an incredible, shocking, iconic scene, but would it happen in real life? Not really. First of all, the police captain’s murder …
Never let go of your arms
Also remember that after the double murder, Michael voluntarily threw a gun on the ground, as if it were that even the police would never find him. Incredible detail according to Ruggiano JR, which was still carried by a collider:
“I have never heard of anyone abandoned by the crime.
Does this make godfather a bad movie? Not at all, and Ruggiano argues that the above choice is involved in the images of the film and what it has become a culture. Just with precision, you will have to go back. We didn’t want Mario Puzo and Coppola, it wasn’t personal, it was just a business.
