Francis Ford Coppola’s most iconic film, The Godfather, was all held together by one big lie about the Corleone crime family. The Godfather is considered one of the best movies of all time, if not the very best, and for good reason. It’s a masterpiece in nearly every way, from its fantastic story to the star-studded cast of The Godfather. It’s difficult to imagine a way The Godfather could have been better, but it’s much easier to imagine how it could have been worse. Interestingly, if The Godfather had been more truthful about one important part of its story, it would have ruined the film.
