Cast Organization

Could someone please re-organize the cast of the film based on the relationships of the characters? I saw that this article one had lists with the 5 families, along with others. I think it would really improve this article, and would clear up any confusion for people reading the article. Thanks. Jgwilliams873 (talk) 02:16, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Epic Genre

Is it alright to add the genre "Epic" to the opening sentence of the article? "The Godfather is a 1972 American crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by Albert S. Ruddy, based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel of the same name." I ask so because the term "epic" means over a long period of time, and movies like Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, Giant, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Greatest Story Ever Told, and Boyhood fall under this umbrella. I also feel something similar should be done to The Godfather Part II. Thanks. Jgwilliams873 (talk) 02:24, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

The Godfather 2 is an epic because it expands the narrative to a multi-generational examination of the Italian-American experience. The Godfather 1 is just a very well made gangster film that spans a relatively short period, and therefore is not an epic. Betty Logan (talk) 02:55, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Moe Greene

Anyone have/find sources as to why Alex Rocco as Moe Greene was not credited in the end credits of the film? Vaselineeeeeeee 20:36, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

This is a very noteworthy film, hopefully the Misplaced Pages article can live up to that! I'll take some time to give this a full review and come back with some thoughts in the coming days. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:14, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

I believe that this article is really great and meets all the criteria for GA, it's well sourced and written, broad in coverage, and neutral. I am happy to promote it, but I did have a couple minor quibbles that might as well be discussed before I close the review.

• The "Video game" subsection seems out-of-place in the "Release" section since it isn't really to do with the release of the film and in my opinion should not be given the amount of weight that having it there is giving it. I think it would make sense to move this subsection into the "Representation in other media" section.
  •  Done. Vaselineeeeeeee 00:25, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
• There are two bulleted lists below the accolades table but only one of them has a subheading explaining what is being listed. I think it would help for the other one to have its own subheading as well.
  •  Done. Vaselineeeeeeee 00:25, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Once you have responded to those we can move along with the review. - adamstom97 (talk) 00:01, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the fast work responding above. To reiterate, I have had a thorough read of this article and it clearly meets the GA criteria. I am happy to pass this review. Congratulations! - adamstom97 (talk) 00:36, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
