Mafia in the typhoon afternoon

The typhoon came and the rain showered the Xiangjiang River, so I had to stay at home to spend the time on Sundays, and admire the "Godfather" trilogy vcd box set that has been sealed for a long time on the desk. It’s not because this movie is not good, but as an epic movie, the duration of each episode of "The Godfather" is almost three to four minutes long, so every time I want to watch it, I will stop and choose other shorter time periods. Movie. I was very energetic when I woke up this morning, so I made up my mind and watched the trilogy in one go. But when I finished watching the sequel, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening. For me, I was still unable to watch three consecutive episodes, so I had to give up.

As the interpreter of the corner of "The Godfather", Al Pacino's performance is impeccable, and what he appreciates most is his ability to maintain rationality and calmness in any situation. It is precisely because he has maintained a sane image for a long time, it is impressive when emotions burst out occasionally. For example, in the sequel, what Michael said when he was betrayed by his brother Fredo: "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart...", I completely felt his love The deep hatred, the sad look and the "kiss of the death" are simply unforgettable.

The Godfather’s comparison of the previous connection is also unprecedented. In my opinion, only Stanley Kubrick’s "Clockwork Orange" can compete with this editing technique. A series of contrasts are used in the film to subtly juxtapose the warm and cold scenes, so that the audience also feels the mental condition of Migao. He has made contributions in the bloody battlefield and has become a hero of the family, but he became a bloodthirsty hero. Sexual, cruel and ruthless, he must have sorrow as well. This is evident at the end of the sequel when Michael recalls the suprise party celebrating his father's birthday many years ago.

After watching this film, I admire al pacino's proficiency in acting. I really don't understand why he failed to win the oscar best actor award with this film, which is a pity.

    I insisted on reading it for the Nortel school exam. At that time, I read it twice without feeling. —— After reviewing "The Godfather" on the big screen of the archive, what made me happy and "sorry" is: I will talk about the high reputation of my personal insensitivity later, and I don’t have "The Godfather", which makes me often talk about it. The masterpiece of the film as an example! ……It is excellent to be able to deal with such a complex character and plot in an orderly manner, but the dark gangster story still cannot make me love it. -17.01.02

    Knowing and understanding why this film makes many people feel good. It's just the limitations of the times that make me not want to score high. I don't like to listen to the words and reason in it. Kai Cai is my favorite woman in the film. The barrage is saying that the Sicilian girl is the most suitable person to be the godfather’s wife. I think the godfather is not worthy of a girl like Kai. Why play Samsung? It's not because the quality of the film is not good, but the values ​​conveyed in it are no longer needed and should not be praised in today's era. Samsung is to express its stance. Both men and women should become responsible and strong people, and their partners should also communicate with each other, rather than isolate the spiritual world of both parties. "You only need to take care of your small family."
