The Godfather 3-Movie Collection
Synopsis: The Godfather: The multi-generational crime saga The Godfather (1972) is a touchstone of cinema: one of the most widely imitated, quoted, and lampooned movies of all time. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino star as Vito Corleone and his youngest son, Michael, respectively. It is the late 1940s in New York and Corleone is, in the parlance of organized crime, a "godfather" or "don," the head of a Mafia family. Michael, a free thinker who defied his father by enlisting in the Marines to fight in World War II, has returned a captain and a war hero. Having long ago rejected the family business, Michael shows up at the wedding of his sister, Connie (Talia Shire), with his non-Italian girlfriend, Kay (Diane Keaton), who learns for the first time about the family "business." A few months later at Christmas time, the don barely survives being shot by gunmen in the employ of a drug-trafficking rival whose request for aid from the Corleones' political connections was rejected. After saving his father from a second assassination attempt, Michael persuades his hotheaded eldest brother, Sonny (James Caan), and family advisors Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) and Sal Tessio (Abe Vigoda) that he should be the one to exact revenge on the men responsible. After murdering a corrupt police captain and the drug trafficker, Michael hides out in Sicily while a gang war erupts at home. Falling in love with a local girl, Michael marries her, but she is later slain by Corleone enemies in an attempt on Michael's life. Sonny is also butchered, having been betrayed by Connie's husband. As Michael returns home and convinces Kay to marry him, his father recovers and makes peace with his rivals, realizing that another powerful don was pulling the strings behind the narcotics endeavor that began the gang warfare. Once Michael has been groomed as the new don, he leads the family to a new era of prosperity, then launches a campaign of murderous revenge against those who once tried to wipe out the Corleones, consolidating his family's power and completing his own moral downfall. The Godfather was followed by a pair of sequels. The Godfather PART II: This brilliant companion piece to the original The Godfather continues the saga of two generations of successive power within the Corleone family. Coppola tells two stories in Part II: the roots and rise of a young Don Vito, played with uncanny ability by Robert De Niro, and the ascension of Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. Reassembling many of the talents who helped make The Godfather, Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision. The Godfather PART III: One of the greatest sagas in movie history continues! In this third film in the epic Corleone trilogy, Al Pacino reprises the role of powerful family leader Michael Corleone. Now in his 60's, Michael is dominated by two passions: freeing his family from crime and finding a suitable successor. That successor could be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia)... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hope of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence. Francis Ford Coppola directs Pacino, Garcia, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, Eli Wallach, Sofia Coppola, Joe Montegna and others in this exciting, long-awaited film that masterfully explores the themes of power, tradition, revenge and love.

I cherish my film library, in large part, because I have a propensity to buy the "better" versions of movies and other collectibles. There's another three disc Blu-Ray offering of the three part Godfather film and it currently sells for about $10 less than this one. The exceptional digital transfer quality is identical for both sets but if you are a collector of films, books, coins, etc. you know that saving $10 for a set that offers more, including better packaging, is analogous to those leather bound Easton Press books or your complete Glenn Gould or Arthur Rubenstien CD sets if for no other reason that you've got something on your shelves that represents quality, and if you're a parent, a quality library that your heirs will inherit and add to their heirs and so forth.
I bought this set in 2011 and have decided to write my review now, six years after purchase. I have watched the entire set at least once every year and two or three times in at least one of the past six years. I am not one to judge solely on cost. But even if I were, I'd still recognize that THIS IS THE SET TO BUY. Amortize $10 over God knows how many viewings and you'll find the true cost amounts at most, to pennies more and, eventually, even less that a penny more.
Even if the reasons stated in my first couple of paragraphs means nothing to a person, the buyer is, I grant you, paying more, but is also getting more which is the fourth disc of special featurettes ( “The Masterpiece That Almost Wasn’t”, “Godfather World”, “Emulsional Rescue: Revealing ‘The Godfather’”, “….And When the Shooting Stopped”, "The Family Tree/The Crime Organization", Montage: “’The Godfather’ on the Red Carpet”, Four Short Films on ‘The Godfather’, Audio Commentaries, Documentary: “The Godfather Family”, “Behind the Scenes”, Storyboards, Additional Scenes/Historical Timeline) so it's simply not an apples to apples comparison. And if you're that true film fanatic , as I am, buying this set over it's less expensive scaled down three disc version; well the decision to buy is really no decision at all. It's a no brainer that you'll buy and cherish this set.
I also enjoy it when guests are over and compliment me on my film, music, and book libraries. It's far more impressive and enjoyable to me to look at them as opposed to my Roku or AppleTV film library, iPod, iPhone, or some other MP3 player, and my bookshelves versus my Kindle. When I drafted my will, I felt better about leaving these tangible items to my children as opposed "child # 1 gets my Roku", "#2 gets my MP3 player, etc as opposed to getting my tangible music, book, and video libraries. I think they'll appreciate what's becoming a lost art form far more too.
In economic terms this concept is known as the "demand curve" and/or "marginal utility". Which all boils down to, what's one's personal preferences and how does one calculate cost.
Anyway, These are fantastic films of which I never tire and in that regard, I think like just about everyone else on this review board as well as the review board for the less expensive set; except on that board you hear a lot of people talking about how smart they were to have chosen that less expensive one. I'm in the right place for me. Where do you belong?
The first movie in this trilogy begins with the wedding of Vito Corleone’s daughter, (Connie). While the large outdoor celebration party is going on, Vito Corleone is meeting with various people. This is our first introduction into the Sicilian tradition of granting requests of anyone asking a favor on the day of a daughter’s wedding. This incredible movie stars Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duval. There is plenty of intrigue, suspense, vicious revenge scenes in this movie. This short review cannot due this justice to this amazing movie.
The second movie is in my opinion is even better than the first one. In this fantastic film we are exposed to the early years of Vito Corleone when back in Sicily his father, brother and mother are killed by the local crime boss. It shows the young 9 year old first coming to America with the statue of liberty in the background. It truly had to be a heartfelt moment for immigrants coming to America. It also follows his development as a young man and how he becomes the respected head of a crime group beginning with the opening of an olive oil business to cover other criminal activities. This excellent movie stars Al Pacino, as Michael who now heads the Corleone family, Robert DeNiro playing the young Corleone, with Robert Duval and Diane Keaton.
The third movie does not come up to the same level as the Godfather 1 and 2; nevertheless, I personally also love this movie. In this final saga Al Pacino plays the aging Michael Corleone, as he is still attempting to make the Corleone family business completely legitimate. The crime bosses of the other families want to pull the Corleone back into the seedy criminal business. They are not happy and in an attempt to clear things up with everyone sets up a meeting to set things right. He gave each of the other crime family heads a check except one. This movie has a very sad ending but completes the crime family saga.
If you loved the Godfather trilogy at the movies, you may want to get this 3 film DVD collection. Even though I had seen the three movies in the past I really enjoyed viewing them again in this DVD set.
Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective combative systems).
