godfather
The Book and the movie of The Godfather have their similarities and differences that I will be focusing on. The Godfather is the best selling phenomenon - a classic of our time. The Godfather story was written before the movie came out approximately 30 years ago. At first glance, the book and the movie appear the same. Upon further investigation, however, the two forms of media do possess certain differences. Although they are different in the areas of characters, setting, and dialog, they are similar in the areas of violence, Don Vito Corleone, and Michael Corleone. These differences in the movie and the book are very minute. The plot for both were intense to read and watch. Gangster action is my forte. There seems to be nothing better than acknowledging a character that plays a role that is highly respected and feared. The plot was very interesting and easy to follow. The literature to this book as opposed to The Rainmaker is that Mario Puzo is better at describing a setting vividly to get a good mental picture as to what is going on. The characters in both the movie and book are easy to relate to because of the Italian side of my family. Whenever we have family get togethers and our "Mafia" picnic, I see the same socializing/
Words of "I'll give them an offer that cannot refuse" were mearly a reference to a part of his personality. The description of the physical appearance matched that of the book. Mary Kay was really the only female character in the novel that has much bearing as to what goes on. Rocco Lampone worked for the Godfather as an internship for a little while. The similarities consist of violence, Don Vito Corleone, and Michael Corleone. Anthony Coppola was a son of a man Don Corleone had worked with on the railroad yards in his youth. Acting in the movie including Marlon Brando (Don Vito Corleone), Al Pacino (Michael Corleone), Robert Duvall (Tom Hagen) and Diane Keaton (Kay Adams) all had contributed to a great life-like effort. Jack Woltz could only wish that his horse be more head strung. Billy Goff was the most powerful man in the movie labor unions. Could there be any conflictions with the wives of the male characters as to how and why they killed other people? Those type of issues were not addressed in the book that could be very likely to happen in those type of situations. I liked the book more because I will always look back at it. The main topics of interest for similarities are violence, Don Vito Corleone, and Michael Corleone. The Godfather found out that Paulie Gatto was getting paid by Sollazo and didn't want an unfaithful man as his bodyguard.
