The Godfather comparison between the novel and the film
Literature/Movie Comparison: The 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
The description of the physical appearance matched that of the book. The ones to be mentioned that were not in the movie may not reflect that they might have had a one second part that could easily be passed up. The main topics of interest for similarities are violence, Don Vito Corleone, and Michael Corleone. Just like caporegime, it is also an Italian word. Michael Corleone was the youngest son of Don Corleone and the only child who had refused the Godfather's direction with the business. Paulie Gatto was one of the Godfather's caporegimes (bodyguard) and was being replaced by Rocco Lampone. The idea of listing and describing all of them would be tedious. The difference lies in that Clemenza made a stop to eat at an Italian restaurant before killing Paulie. Billy Goff was the most powerful man in the movie labor unions. Sonny on his way to get Carlo, he was blocked in to a security gate and shot at. The case was based on vengeance on the men who had cruelly hurt his daughter. 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. Don Vito Corleone believed in the theory that you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Other setting that differs from the film is that the book lacked mentioning of Don Vito Corleone's wife. The Godfather found out that Paulie Gatto was getting paid by Sollazo and didn't want an unfaithful man as his bodyguard.
