The crime epic Steven Spielberg called the “largest American film it has ever made”

There are many film fans who believe that Steven Spielberg has made some of the best films ever made. After all, this is the same filmmaker who is “Jaws”, “Jurassic Park”, “Retting Private Ryan” and three great “Indiana Jones” spots before the franchise left the rails. These films hardly even scratch the surface of the gemstones in its oeuvre, and one could even argue that the most rated Spielberg films have their services. Spielberg's login information speak for themselves. When he says that a film is the best American film ever, people listen to. So, which film is he over any other film that comes from the country?

Spielberg's most popular American film is one who is loved by the masses, and according to IMDB the best criminal trimer in history. Yes, we speak of “The Pate”, who is staged by Spielberg's old friend Francis Ford Coppola. The film tells the story of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), a son of a Mafioso leader, Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), who reluctantly inherits control of his father's organized crime empire. When we meet Michael for the first time, he is completely removed from the illegal activities of his family, but it is only a matter of time for the power to corrupt him and he loses his morals and his feeling of law.

“The Godfather” is not the first gangster film to record the corruption of his protagonist, but it is probably the most influential. For Spielberg, Coppola's film is more than a mob drama because he believes that he is sitting on the Apex of American Cinema together with his director.

“For me, 'the godfather' is the greatest American film that it has ever made. Many artists can and take a bow on one side, on a canvas, on a screen, but our applause for you, Francis, comes from a different kind of audience. If we are young, we want proud that we are proud, then our friends are, and it is our colleagues.

Spielberg added that “The Godfather” redefined the American cinema and pave the way for the new generations of filmmakers to leave the industry. Spielberg showed another admiration for Coppola and claimed that he always wanted to proud of the filmmaker every time he made a new film. This is indeed a high praise – especially when you consider that Spielberg has repeatedly proven to be a legendary talent.
