The Godfather restaurant scene analysis

作者 Capucine · old hollywood: Francis Ford Coppola

There's a moment in THE GODFATHER where you're right there with Michael, feeling his nerves crank up. Coppola uses the sound of an elevated train to mirror that panic, and the noise builds until it hits a peak right as he finally fires. It's a masterclass in making the audience experience what the character is going through.
