Goodfellas



This film has already gone down in film history as one of the best on the mafia. However, it is worth it to make it clear that it is not a saga-like “The Godfather”, nor an epic representation-like “Once Upon a Time in America”.

The Godfather



This is a story about tradition, heritage, and the strength of the family. This is a story about ties of honor, loyalty to one's word and respect for the elders. In turn, this is also a story about a criminal clan, of reasons that depend on the caliber of a weapon, of blood washed at the point of revenge.

Between honor and death this story is debated. At the same time, it is the chronicle of a family throughout the twentieth century, an epic saga covered with glory as much as of ambition and evil. It is the story of the Corleone family, in the Italian-American mafia film ever made.
