3.The Logo of the Godfather

      The Godfather logo is one of the most important pieces of Corleone lifetime. It represents a unique style and elegance because it expresses so much. I have used it to illustrate the power of visual expression. Quite simply by observation we can infer what's already been expressed. He meets a cruel world, but expresses the force that Don Corleone holds. Like a puppeteer, he leads his puppets through his power. And so the Godfather lead lives of people through the power and respect he acquired throughout the years. A replica we can also find in the film discussion between Vito and Michael Corleone, when the father tells his son "I Refused to be the fool, dancing on the strings held by thos bigshots." What it means is that Vito refused his life to be led by some big boss and he made his own way through life. That’s the respect he earned in his life.
