2p THE GODFATHER PART 2 You'd be forgiven for thinking in 1974, before The Godfather Part 2 had been released to universal acclaim, that there was no way to make an organic sequel to The Godfather. Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and the actors had already told the tragic story of good hearted son Michael Corleone's fall from a law abiding war veteran to the head of one of the largest crime families in America. But Coppola and writer Mario Puzo found a way not just to expand the story but to advance it. And in the process they made what many consider to be THE greatest sequel of all time. Part 2 tells the parallel stories of the rise of young Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) from poverty and obscurity to the head of his own crime family in 1910's New York City. We cross cut to the 1950's where son and current Don, Michael, is trying to take the Corleone family legit in Las Vegas, Nevada. But an assassination attempt on Michael's life early in the movie leads to a series of events and decisions that will change the Corleone family permanently and from which there is no coming back. A panoramic electric movie that even touches on the rise of Latin American communism in Cuba and different crime families around the United States, The Godfather 2 is the King Lear to the Godfather 1's Hamlet. A must see film.
Today, we screen all 3 Godfathers. Come for one or come for all for the full experience. Go to next door's historic Grand Central Market for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks as we take in an American classic.
