There's so little energy in em, is the problem. Charisma and mood are there in abundance, but energy... nah! Only James Caan really brings force to the screen, and so much so he nearly topples the mood, but his shooting sorts that out.

Music with continuous crescendos fires up the testosterone but this gets your balls to do your thinking instead of your heart. Thinking from the heart is the objective. Godfather is full of tension. Intra-family relations are as tense as the family is close. Release of the tension, by beating up the sister's husband (an outsider), is momentary and not cathartic. Catharsis is reserved for moments of grander resolution, such as the confrontation between husband and wife over the fate of the kids -- or the elimination of All My Enemies On Earth.

Methinks we should be able to appreciate a musical piece with ups and downs, refrains and bridges, various instruments and humans behind the music, feeling, thinking and speaking.
