Women's roles.

One thing that I noticed about this movie was that it had a big sterotype towards women. All that Francis Ford Coppola portrayed was women in the kitchen cooking and cleaning and how they were not involved in the family buisness except kay. It really stood out for me because all the women that were in the family for a long time such as Mama Corleone knew "their role" such as when it was dinner time they knew not to talk about buisness. But when kay would always be anxious to ask micheal about the buisness he would not really tell her.Do you think Francis Ford Coppola portrayes a big differnece between women who have been the family longer than women who have been in the family for a shorter time?

One of the most imporant scenes in the movie for me was the very first one. It is important for me because it gave you a clear understanding of how the movie was going to be and set the tone of the movie.I think the speech from Don Carleone was very powerfull because it showed you immediately how the godfather acts.

Tears of joy or of sadness?

The other day in class while watching the Godfather the scene were Micheal tells his recovering father, "Im with you now...Im with you", obviously meaning before that he wasn't "with" him. When Don Corleone hears this tears come to his face, although he has a smile on his face it contradicts what he has said before to micheal: telling him he doesnt want him to be part of the family business. Obvioulsy he was lyinh and because of the smile on his face it tells us that he is proud of mivheal and that he is shedding tears of joy.
