My analysis of The Godfather Part one. A video essay considering the deeper meaning of the film and the psychology of Michael (Al Pacino) principally, but also touching on Vito (Marlon Brando) before him and how their roles as Don Corleone differed. This film is a masterpiece worthy of so much more analysis than I could comfortably fit into his videoessay. I was tempted to try indepth scene breakdowns, for the opening scene or the killing of Sollozzo and McCluskey, however maybe I'll leave that for another time.

My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays. I am a professional counsellor and often draw on my psychology and therapy background to better understand characters, themes, and emotion in fiction. I upload every Saturday and occasionally on Tuesdays, if I'm feeling productive.
