One problem I have with the godfather it lacked tension cause I was pretty bored throughout the whole film. Nothing really going on in the movie that capture my attention maybe beside the one scene where Al pacino gf died in a car explosion. Im all for dialogue between characters if done right but this one I can't see to engaged by it due to director bad directing in the movie. The camerawork has big part of the movie being boring cause the director use the basic camera work back and back forth on the face when having the conversation between the character as opposed of thinking of new camera angel to get the audience engaged by the dialogue. The characters talking in the movie is like how someone talk in quiet place that has no energy and no personality which failed to engage when we watch it. If I want to watch that, I will listen to my parents in a conversation when we eating dinner which will be more entertaining. Also all characters have no personality, their just so egoistic an narcissistic that it's hard to root for them. The movie is just lifeless dull so I don't get why it's considered a masterpiece to cinema .
