if don vito can survive five gunshots i can survive my exams
Review by Matt Singer ★★★★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

One perfect moment: When Michael and Kay discover Vito’s been shot, his immediate reaction is to race to a phone booth and call home to check on his father. Until this point in the movie, Michael insists he wants no part of his father’s business. But when he reads the newspaper headlines about the assassination attempt, something changes in his face. And then he goes to the phone booth and slams the door on Kay so she can’t overhear the conversation, echoing the way The Godfather conducted his business in his private study while the rest of the family remained oblivious at the wedding outside, and foreshadowing the final shot of the film.
