This could be a case of the Sienfeld is not funny trope
A movie or other work of media is quite revolutionary when it is released, it gets copied so much that many of its features become common in later projects. Then someone goes back to the original and thinks, Why was everyone so impressed with this?
Citizen Cane is another example.
Or:
It could be that you personally don't like the movie. Taste is not universal and not everyone likes everything.
Well most of those shows like Seinfeld fall victim to the fact most only laugh at it bc of the laugh tracks. Which for me I don't get bc I could imagine friends or golden girls without it and they'd still be good imo π€·
Seinfeld was filmed in front of an audience.
True but it is the same effect as a laugh track. The actors have to pause their delivery to let the audience react so that they are not talking over or getting drowned out by the laughter. There are a few scenes where you can see Jerry and the others almost break character while they are waiting for the audience to finish laughing.
Don't get it either. It is such a flawed product.
A. Crime movies are supposed to have everyone die at the end. The godfather dies a successful old man playing with his grandchild.
B. Holy shit is it long
C. It feels like it demands to be appreciated. Every scene we are being told that we have to appreciate every scene.
I don't get the hype either, but maybe it gets better in the second half? I've never managed to sit all the way through it.
IMHO, while most fans of the series say Part 1 is the best, Part 2 with De Niro as Young Vito is arguably far superior. The first movie is quite dry and you really have to be paying attention to names and conversations, while the 2nd movie has a lot more going for it dynamically and is easier to follow.
Itβs All personal.
Oh don't worry. Everyone who says they like the godfather is meme'ing Barbie.

I wouldn't know, because I've never seen this "The god-FATHER". Can someone please explain the plot of this "the God-FATHER" to me?
(A distraction? I don't know what you are talking about.)
