Vito Corleone, from one of the greatest films of the last few decades, is another example of how much you don’t relate to the Great Father with your profession. Even though he is a mobster, his family and sons come first, no matter what. Marlon Brando’s performance including his love for his family and carrying on that legacy is being praisedFinally, Liam Neeson’s Brian Mills proves that a father will do anything for his children, no matter the cost. When his daughter is kidnapped, he sets out on a mission to move heaven and earth to find her.
