‘The Godfather’ and the Tragedy of Modern America

Mark Weber joins host Fróði Midjord in this lively, wide-ranging session to talk about The Godfather, Parts I and II, and to explain how the story it tells is relevant today. In this episode of the “Guide to Kulcher” series, the two men examine how the Godfather story profoundly underscores the tragedy of modern America. Besides being great cinema art and superb story-telling, this film masterpiece is also important for what it says about modern US society. That’s suggested in the opening scene of The Godfather, Part I, which begins with the words “I believe in America.” Runtime: 101 mins.
