The reasons behind Michael Corleone's valiant attempt to turn the Corleone family into a legitimate empire in The Godfather are deeper than one might assume at a glance. Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 epic might be the greatest gangster movie of all time, but whereas most mafia stories chronicle the protagonist falling deeper and deeper down a hole of criminality, The Godfather finds Michael pulling in the opposite direction. Throughout the entire trilogy of The Godfather, Michael tries desperately to transform the Corleone family from an underground racket into a respectable operation.
