This film mainly introduces the struggle of the second generation of godfathers and the hardships of the first generation of godfathers.
The old godfather went into exile from an orphan to the United States. He grew up and started a family and lived in a difficult life. He loves the family extremely, is courageous and strategic, judges the situation, helps the weak, and protects the neighbors. He always spares no effort to solve other people’s problems. . I also often say "If there is anything I can help, you come and let's talk." "Just remember that I did you a favor." When you have a problem, it is the ability of others to ask for help. What can be done easily within the scope, the old godfather knows that it will not be embarrassing at all. He has continuously helped others: weaving a network of relationships that spans the sky, and has become an unparalleled super relationship hub. He has also transformed into a deep fear of the enemy, The leader of a powerful mafia empire deeply loved by his family and neighbors.
The new godfather is the youngest son of the old godfather Mike Corleone. He led the family to achieve a complete transformation, in a sense, his achievements are greater than his father. This also reflects the strong will of the Sicilian descent to survive, in order to achieve Family goals, whatever the cost. The young Mike's eyes are gentle, calm, simple and shy. He wants to follow the path of the American liberal elite, and declares that he will not participate in the family's business. In the end, he has become the leader of the Mafia and is in the interest of the family. It also became the most important responsibility he had to bear, but he was reluctant at first. He transformed from a quiet, passionate young man into a cruel and ruthless person. He concealed all his emotions and thoughts, and the white family became him. A lifelong dream. However, in this process, the more he wanted to wash the family white, and the higher he went up, he found that the darker he became. For the benefit of the family, he always had to fall into sin again and be tough to remove all obstructive goals. In the end, the family fell apart. Even though the greatest goal was achieved, the warmth and support of the family were lost. At the end of the film review, Mike sat alone outside the house by the lake, looking into the distance blankly.
The two generations of godfathers have completely different endings, a large part of the reason why they choose their wives.
The film does not have many descriptions of the old Vito's wife, but it is perceptible. This is a typical good wife and mother. She is the stable and gentle strength and strong backing of the family, and the source of strength for the old godfather to fight for the family. Although she did not participate in the old Vito’s business, she was always behind him and the children, silently supporting him, obeying him, encouraging him, praising him, never complaining or questioning. One small detail is that Vito has I only brought back a pear when I returned home. The wife kissed her husband and praised how beautiful this pear was. This is the tradition of hardships and hard work in Sicilian women. She is the gentle but stable cornerstone of the family. This is also worthy of yourself. A model of learning!
Mike's first wife, Apo, she is more like a ray of starlight he grabbed when he walked on the edge of darkness.She was young, pure and beautiful, clear and beautiful, but she became a victim of betrayal by her cronies, and she was lightly blown to death in her grade.
Mike’s second wife, Kay, is the girlfriend she met at Mac’s university. She is a typical American woman, advocating freedom and assertive. Kay has always wanted to live a pure and warm normal life. In her heart, what she really yearns for It is the pure and warm life of an elite family in the United States. And the princess who became the leader of the mafia who has done a lot of evil in the world, she feels fear and hatred from the bottom of her heart, and it is even more impossible to become a supporter of McMomo.
In fact, Mike’s life strategy is all over the world, all for his beloved family, for the benefit of the family. It’s just that Kai really doesn’t understand, doesn’t support, she fears, complains, and runs away. She chooses but always expects her husband to change , Only not to change herself. She made up her mind to separate from this family even after an abortion, and personally ruined such a beautiful family.
It can be said that Kay represents Mike’s pure and beautiful American dream. Starting from the day Mike became the leader of the Mafia, if either party does not change, they are destined to wander in a different world. I think, if Apo has no accident, eventually It must be this beautiful Sicilian woman who accompanies Mike. And if Mike does not become the leader of the Mafia, maybe Kay can be with Mike for life. It's just good luck!
Brother Ferredo’s question:
Mike finally killed Fredo. I can understand that. Because Mike has given Fredo too many opportunities. When he escaped from Havana, Mike wanted to take Fredo back to New York. Mike was in a lawsuit. , When I wanted Fredo's help, Fredo didn't say anything. When my mother died and Fredo really had no reliance on it, he bowed his head. Fredo doesn't know anything when he has a little capital. Put brotherhood above his private grievances. From Fredo's point of view, it may only be really desperate to let a person let go.
Personal gains:
Family, parents, and affection are the most important things we should cherish. Families cannot be betrayed.
After Mike broke up with his wife, he still has a family. If the second brother betrayed him, he would still be merciful. In the end, he made up his mind to kill the second brother because the second brother finally betrayed the entire family. This is absolutely not allowed. of.
When people are lonely,
Some people are lonely because they are hurt.
The second brother's betrayal completely broke Mike's heart. On the issue of life and death, Mike no longer believed in anyone.
