Four and a half star (spoiler) text: Deconstructing "The Godfather" and redefining the American gangster movie in the post-"Godfather" era. "The Godfather" portrays gangsters by portraying heroes, revolutionizing the tradition that Hollywood gangs can only be villains at the time. At the same time, it also uses epic third-person filming, and gives the characters a sense of fatalism in ancient Greek tragedy. . In this film, Martin starts from the protagonist's first perspective and uses the attitude of describing "normal life" to express the gang life. The best part of the film lies in its multiple arcs. The protagonist goes from being sentimental and righteous to give up life and forgetting to die to the final mutual betrayal and covetousness and fear of death. This is not only the arc of the protagonist, but also the entire Mafia and its representatives. The transformation of society. In fact, Martin also used "degenerate" instead of "fate" to express his views on this, and then deconstructed "The Godfather" from the outside to the inside. From the most anti-system deviant behavior to the most modelized life, modern society has not only tame the protagonist, but also tame the "crime" itself. The role monologue and the event form a two-layer echoing text, creating a separation effect. All kinds of self-blaming, interesting.

Scorsese said that the style of the film originated from the first two or three minutes of "Juul and Jim", that is, a large amount of narration, fast editing, freeze frame and multiple scene switching. This anti-traditional reckless attitude is reflecting some of the gangsters in the film. Molecular mentality. Scorsese hopes that the violence in the film can have a sense of cold, ruthless, terrifying and even accidental reality, but in order to meet the standards of R-rated films, he had to delete 10 bloody scenes.
