The two lines are chasing each other, the people are betrayed, and the whole picture and narrative are much more beautiful with a double budget. The name of Coppola's screenwriter is ranked before Puzo, and the spirit is very strong. De Niro successfully reproduced the Malone style, a complete work.

[A+] It's really an extremely great movie sequel: it can be said to be an unprecedented breakthrough in genre. It has both a prequel history of the first generation godfather's entrepreneurial history and a second generation godfather's rising record with a postquel performance. And the use of double-line parallel narration in the narrative makes the content further enriched. What’s more, the line of the first-generation godfather is often narrated corresponding to the psychological growth of the second-generation godfather, which further expands the dramatic tension and core tragedy of the film, and relies on the extremely elegant audiovisual language and the wonderful The montage transition realizes the dialogue between the two generations of godfathers across time and space. The ending is also embarrassing. The old godfather made a glorious achievement with his own courage by accident, but Mike is destined to walk towards an elegant and lonely king on the road of fate, lonely at this moment, lonely for life.
