He's the son of Don Vito Corleone, who is the head of a Mafia crime family in New York, and at the start of the film he's determined to strike out on his own to make a life away from the violence and intricate politics of organised crime. Over this decade the world changes around him but he is also changed by it. Our hero is Michael Corleone and we essentially follow his life from the end of the Second World War as he's demobbed from the US Marine Corps, through to the mid '50s. The Godfather is convoluted and complex but at its heart it's an almost Shakespearian tragedy of the destiny of a young, intelligent, kind man, swept up in drama he inherited. Of course there are plenty of examples where the critics and the audience both hate a film. It's very unusual to find a movie where the critics and the general audience agree so completely about the quality of a film at the upper end of the spectrum.
