The Godfather script analysis

American director Francis Coppola’s trilogy of films The Godfather I, II and III is one of the world’s best-loved feature films. The story is based on Mario Puzo’s best-selling novel of the same name.

Story&Drama analyzes the screenplay of Godfather I, dissects its many plots and the way they are articulated (plots intersect, converge or unfold in series), counts and characterizes its characters and their dramatic roles, and interprets its themes (family, filiation, power, violence).

Authors and scriptwriters alike will discover how The Godfather’s superb narrative mechanics work, borrowing from genres such as tragedy, epic and historical drama, how sequences and scenes are constructed, and how strong, meaningful values are assigned to the various groups of characters.
