Can Mike be happy

Today I finally finished watching "The Godfather Sequel". I called out when I watched it. When the bad old man Rose was suddenly shot to death, the next second on the screen was the scene of Frank falling in a bathtub full of water, blood constantly pouring out. I was stimulated by the picture. One second before Rose was killed, there was no foreshadowing or suggestion on the movie picture. The director's ingenuity. More often, I was stabbed by the movie, but sullenly, I just cover my mouth and watch it without making a sound.
Why does Mike end like this? It's hard to understand. I want him to be happy. But it's so difficult. Those who analyze and analyze, who can point him to a path that can lead to happiness again? I think if Mike can choose again, he will not regret all his actions.
I heard Al. Pacino has been around for a long time. Always say that such and such a movie has a strong movie star Al. Pacino joined and the like. After watching "The Godfather I", I didn't know that it was Al who played Mike. Pacino. Remember the beginning of the first part. In that grand wedding, Mike was just a quiet role with few scenes. Although there was a heavyweight suggestion such as "Where is Mike? He is not here, we won't take pictures later," the old godfather said, but I really didn't pay much attention to him. Not very tall, nor handsome. But then after the old godfather's accident, Mike started to shine, I love this man more and more. The eyes are deep, sometimes cold, and always have content. The corners of the chin are charming. When he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes to his father, when he killed an enemy in the dining room, when he took over the family affairs and re-planned everything. . . . . . All make me worry, complex worry, and different emotions. Later, I learned that the person who played Mike was Al. Pacino, knowing that I have always admired but never watched "Scent of a Woman" is also starring him, which is awesome. From then on there was one more member of the great actors I liked.
The old godfather was so trustworthy when he was watching the first part and when he was in a good mood. When everyone gathered around him with confidence and tenderness, it made people feel so relieved to watch. But the second part has been worrying. Mike, there is no time for him to relax. He is always so sinister around him, and his emotions are always so depressed. He has never seen him happy. It makes me sad to see.
Kay is always nervous with some fragile eyes. I don't like her to make Mike sad and pressure him. But, who can blame her. She is not an Italian woman, and there are things in Mike's heart that she can't understand. She loves Mike. This Mike kills. Kill a lot of people. Someone came to assassinate their family. The life of a vassal is sometimes "gently under house arrest." Life seems to float. Kay can't bear it anymore. When I hate this woman, when she hurt Mike badly, I want to replace him. If two people live together, if they cannot understand each other's deepest souls, there will be no happiness. This movie convinced me more deeply. Vaguely and ignorantly, they just hugged each other very warmly, and in the end, the warmth will dissipate. I would rather smile at each other while shaking in the cold wind together.
Ever since fell in love with Italian women. The old godfather's wife, Connie, are so motherly and so tolerant of their relatives. Connie has spent many years trying to hurt herself to make Mike sad. But in the end, she kissed Mike's hand, hugged his head and said, let me take care of you. Very touched. Mike must be too. He is suffering from the departure and betrayal of his loved one. Lonely. Who will say something to me, let me take care of you. It allows me to rest my head in her (his) arms with confidence, like finding a harbor. Intermittently, I develop fragile and hidden hysteria. I am lonely and afraid of being alone. I will call my friends, like a clingy kid. I'm sad.
Sometimes it is doubtful whether Mike is a bit too cold. Do some people have to die? Frank, Fredo. . . . . . Those are people who love him, people who treat him well. Never really wanted to hurt him. Fredo told Mike's youngest son Anthony a moment ago that he would catch him a fish, but he was shot in the middle of the lake. Mike looked out the window in the house by the lake, listening to the gunfire. I'm at a loss. Mike, do you have to do this? The old godfather said that he learned to be cautious in a lifetime. It is a kind of caution to be so strict with people who have made mistakes. It's just that I can't bear it. In fact, Mike can't bear it either. He was slowly falling apart. Life has lost its happiness. Distressed.
This beloved, unwilling to get involved in family affairs, go to university, and want to lead a normal life, the youngest son did not escape his fate and became a new generation of godfather. It's just that the brilliance of the title "Godfather" is no longer. Times have changed. Mike is also changing. But I don't know why it ends like this.
I am always like this. Tangled nonsense for a long time. There is no conclusion. Just vent it.
