He also doesn't choose to harm women and children and anyone who is defenseless. The opposite number to his ruthless temper and impulsiveness is found in the boy he brought home when he is 11 in Tom Hagen, denoting a softer side to the brash exterior. Being the most involved of the sons in the criminal operations, he 'made his bones' at a very young age, after finding out who his father really was and admitting that he 'wanted to be just like him'. An underboss with an explosive temper, he is the heir to the the throne of his father, destined to take over the Family after the Don retires. Santino Corleone, Underboss: Affectionately known as Sonny, he represents the eldest of the Don's sons, after Fredo and Michael.

One of the greatest movie characters of all time indeed. A lot and I mean a LOT of what he says has been quoted and quoted and quoted again, denoting the huge influence it has on the media and the general awesomeness of the things that come out of his mouth. Think of it as an iron fist in a velvet glove. Vito is famous for being a careful and very very reasonable boss, yet unhesitant in using violence when the situation calls for it.

He was a very traditional man who lived a moral code of loyalty and respect to friends and ultimately, his family. "Fish for your friendship, how's that Paddy?"ĭon Vito Corleone, The Godfather: Played by Marlon Brando, he represents the head of one of the Five Families of the Mafia in NYC, the Corleone Family, which is Italian for " Lionheart". The following is an introduction to the main men of the Family and the general characters that make the movie amazing.

If you haven't read the book, or watched the movie, both are deemed awesome by a billion people, so get your ass to the library already. Again I have to stress that it is a fictional story based on factual events (mafia scenes and whatever). The stuff they have to deal with I'm sure they take deal with it seriously. These were immigrants who worked their asses off to make a living for their family because they believed the government was rubbish (which it was) often going against the law. Personally, I find the general themes of the book slash movie a whole new opener to my eyes (sorry that sucked HAHA opener to eyes wtf) in that such topics such as friendship, trust, respect and all that was perceived in such a refreshing and unique way in the book. Add this to the excellent cinematography, and an amazing cast (whose actors were relatively unknown at the time) and the fact that the book was really good, it is regarded as one of (if not) the greatest films of American cinema.

Mafia members felt it a sort of nod to the whole scene in America, and outsiders got a different take on their mobsters. This served up a pretty fresh take on an ubiquitous mafia scene in the States. Of which included the fact that it was made from a member of the gang's point of view looking outside to a corrupted capitalist society, instead of looking on from the outside in hatred. Why is this movie such a big deal? You see eh, this movie was like, the bomb for many reasons. Basically it covers the transition of Vito's son, Michael, from an unwilling outsider of the Family to a ruthless Mafia boss, taking his father's place at the helm as the Don. The leader is a man named Vito Corleone, an immigrant from the Italian city of Corleone in Sicily. The whole book (and therefore the movie ofc) (duh) follows the leader of a fictional criminal organisation based in New York City around the 50s.
