who is the hero?

Who is the “hero” of the film? What is Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey? How are myths similar to popular stories? Why do we like the stories we like? Are we psychologically/culturally predisposed to rate The Godfather as a top 100 film?

I feel that the hero of the film is Michael because even though he has not been really involved with the family and their situation of being in the mafia, he has been in the military and came back experienced and as a war hero. Since he has decided to take on the challenge of killing the head of the other mafia family and the cop which is a very risky move for somebody who does not really understand what they do.
