This is the second installment of The Godfather. I thought it was a little better than the first one. You don't necessarily need to watch the first part, but everything will make more sense if you do. This movie begins with young Vito Andolini living in Corleone, Italy. It follows his move to America in the early 20th century and his rise from nothing to a major force in New York. The movie flips back and forth between Vito in New York City, and the present time of the movie with Michael Corleone and his family in Nevada. This was a very interesting movie because you get to see how Vito Corleone came to power. At the same time, you begin to see things falling apart for Michael and the Corleone family in the present time. As with the other Godfather movie there is a lot of violence and killing that go along with the mob. It really ties a lot of things together and also explains how the Godfather came to be who he was. Robert DeNiro does a great job playing the young Vito Corleone. A good, interesting and tragic movie.
