The Offer Season 1 Ending Explained (In Detail)
Warning: SPOILERS forThe Offer Finale — «Brains and Balls»
The team who made The Godfather ends The Offer in triumph but what happens next to Albert S. Ruddy (Miles Teller) and the filmmakers behind one of the greatest films of all time? The Offer's finale wrapped up Ruddy's roller-coaster experience producing The Godfather, including his risking his life dealing with the Mafia and coping with the strong personalities and demands of his director, Francis Ford Coppola (Dan Fogler), Paramount Pictures' head of production Robert Evans (Matthew Goode), Gulf + Western's bean counter Barry Lapidus (Colin Hanks), and its volatile CEO, Charles Bludhorn (Burn Gorman).
After returning from shooting Michael Corleone's (Anthony Ippolito) scenes in Sicily and winning over the Mafia with a successful screening of The Godfather, Ruddy and the film's production team finally got to celebrate the film's success. Because The Godfather set a March 1972 premiere, which makes it difficult to gross the box office numbers the film needs to be a blockbuster, Evans and Lapidus sold Bludhorn on a new distribution model of opening The Godfather in hundreds of theaters around the country simultaneously. Instead of a slow rollout, The Godfather reinvented how movies are distributed in theaters and it worked. The Godfather opened to a huge success in 1972, which set the stage for its run at the 45th Annual Academy Awards a year later. The Godfather won Best Picture, Best Actor for Marlon Brando (who infamously declined his Oscar), and Best Adapted Screenplay for Coppola and Mario Puzo (Patrick Gallo).
