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.
