The Godfather The concept of Verisimilitude seemed to fail for the most part with this movie. In numerous scenes, such as where someone or something died, the viewer watches an incredible dramatic and exaggerated performance play out before them, which is especially tough to imagine happening in their own life. Specifically, in the incident where the godfather is shot at the market, he dramatically falls onto the car, stops due to gravity, then flops over a few extra times before hitting the ground and moving again once more. I suppose the intention of the actions here are to convince the audience that he is truly and surely dead. Another example would be the famous scene with Jack Woltz, who awakened with a severed head of a horse at the
