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.
