Among the many of Francis Ford Coppla's achievements in "The Godfather", is the way he characterized the individuals in the movie. Each had an aspect about him or her that was special and memorable. He accomplished this in many ways including but not limited to: camera shots, how the characters dressed, how they talked, and what they did. The following is three example of how he characterized and depicted the roles in the movie. Though one may not realize it at first or maybe even the second time they watch the movie, but the most taboo and different character is Kay Adams Corleone. We first meet her at the wedding of Connie, Michael's sister, and Carlo Rizzi. She is fair skinned with honey-blonde hair as opposed to the other darker, olive-skinned Italian guests. Immediately, this sets her apart from the others as an innocent, a ray of sunshine in the middle of "chaos". She is dressed in a bright cheery red summer dress with a wide-brimmed hat, looking much like a Sunday schoo!l teacher would. Her voice is very soft; almost kitten like, in contrast, for example, of Connie's loud and brash voice. Coppla uses these things to distinguish her from the members of the family. Another scene in which we see her set apart from the rest i
------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. There are many things that Coppla uses to foreshadow the fall of Sonny. She is fair skinned with hon!ey-blonde hair as opposed to the other darker, olive-skinned Italian guests. Sonny tells him to come home back to the family and all the while we see Kay shut outside the phone booth. We see his physical appearance change as well. Then we see Luca B!rasi getting ready to meet Bruno Tattaglia and Sollozzo. Tom Hagan rushes out to her and kind of turns her away from! the house, as if he is shielding her from whatever may be inside. Then we see Luca Brasi getting ready to meet Bruno Tattaglia and Sollozzo. This is evident when he has Bruno Tattaglia killed after the attempt on Vito's life. Back to church, "And all his works?" Cuts to Cicci and we see him lock Ottilio Cuneo in a revolving door and shoot him four times. Sonny tells him to come home back to the family and all the while we see Kay shut outside the phone booth. We see Michael again, "I do renounce them". Coppla uses this to show us that Vito is not completely confident in Sonny. Here he demonstrates that Michael is the Godfather through and through. He is a man that while in the house of God, is blatantly disregarding him and his laws.
