V's Charecterization- Week 2

Francis Ford Coppola wanted a certain look for the different characters in the movie. Here's what I am thinking what Francis thought in 1972:

Vito: Strong presence on the screen. This character must look like a caring grandfather but, when he needs to he can be harsh.

Michael: Exact copy of Vito (except the grandfather part).

THIS relationship between the two characters might give us a clue as to who becomes the next Godfather if Vito dies.

V's Characters- Week 1

One of the characters that appeal to me is Sonny. Many people see Sonny as a tough brute that beats anything that is in his way. Right away the thing that popped out at me was that Sonny/Santino has a soft spot for his sister Connie. So far in the movie, Sonny has always been protecting Connie and the rest of his family.

V's Achetypes- Week 1

One thing I realized after I looked at the Hero's Journey package was that Vito Carleone connects to it. The package talks about the hero being a warrior or a person who goes through some adventure. We were talking about Michael being the hero, could Vito also follow his own Hero's Journey?

One thing I really liked after I read David's post was that our posts were very familiar. I'm glad to see that we are on the same page.
