The Godfather trilogy is among the most significant works of
Hollywood cinema of the last quarter century. They provide a richly
complex look at a whole segment of American life and culture
spanning almost the whole century. In six essays, written
especially for this volume, The Godfather trilogy is re-examined
from a variety of perspectives. Providing analyses on the form and
significance of Coppola's achievement, they demonstrate how the
filmmaker revised the conventions of the American crime film in the
Viet Nam era, his treatment of the capitalism of the criminal
underworld and its inherent violence, the power struggles within
Hollywood over the film, and the contribution of opera to the epic
force and cinematic style of Coppola's vision of an American
criminal dynasty. The Godfather articulates the themes, styles,
mythologies, performances, and underlying cultural values that have
made the film a modern classic.
