so-called classic film history probably refers to films like "The Godfather". "The Godfather" ranked first in IMDB TOP250, and "The Godfather II" ranked third.
The Godfather, The Godfather II, and The Godfather III filmed in 1972, 1974, and 1990. The total length of the film is nearly nine hours.
Although it was watched in two days, the intensity is still quite large. A family history, a person’s sorrows and joys, and a country. The changes of the times and even the whole world are clearly presented.
The connection of the three films is very good, there is no sense of abruptness, and it can be viewed as one film.
Let’s talk about "The Godfather" first.
Some people say that "The Godfather II" is also well shot, even better than "The Godfather", but I still love "The Godfather" the most because it is the beginning.
Vito Don Corleone played by Marlon Brando as the godfather of the first generation has been deeply imitated. The grace, the helplessness for the family and the wisdom of the "career" all make People are impressed.
If Mike Corleone played by Al Pacino is the protagonist of the Godfather's trilogy, then Vito Don Corleone is the soul, and his wisdom and teachings have accompanied Mike throughout his life.
In "The Godfather", Mike shot Sulosso and the sheriff at close range when he was involved in family affairs for the first time. The visual impact and the feeling that you can see the fire in their eyes go out are quite shocking.
When Vito Don Corleone died in the garden while playing with his grandson, it was a very warm leave. Compared with the ending of "The Godfather III", Mike fell from his chair in front of the dilapidated hut and fell to the ground. The kind of loneliness and desolation with a dog swaying around is much luckier.
"The Godfather II" on the one hand traces the experience of Vito Don Colleón when he first came to the United States and how he embarked on the path of the godfather, on the other hand, it tells the story of how Mike expanded the power of the Corleone family in the new era. And wealth.
The transition of scene time and space is very beautiful. Wife Kay was embarrassed by crime and fear and took the children away. At the end, Mike sat alone outside the house by the lake, staring blankly into the distance, not knowing whether it was sadness or sorrow in his heart, perhaps because he was confused about what he had done.
Compared with the first two "The Godfather III", the reputation is not remarkable, but as the finale of the Godfather series, it is definitely a classic.
The grievances and sorrows of more than a hundred years have come to an end here, and the prominence of the third-generation godfather Vincent is not very important in this film.
There was a scene replay that was very SHAKE me. Mike recalled the sweet time with her ex-wife. The lens passed through decades of time, projected on the body of the happy lover, to the once youth\the adventure joy\the former Sicily , All the tensions of the three films blend here to highlight the agitation. That might be the best time of Mike's life.
The replay of this scene reappeared when Mike’s daughter was shot and died. The dance with her daughter, the dance with his ex-wife, and the dance with his wife Kay, the sweet moments of life flashed back and forth, even if it was the godfather who was shocked. There are only choking, screaming and infinite sadness.
At the end of the three films, Mike Colleón arranged for the purge of enemies in various periods. The Corleone family is generally invincible although they themselves have suffered heavy losses.
The enemy's various blows also made Mike indirectly and directly lost his father, brother, daughter and countless brothers.
The desolation when he finally died of old age is unbearable, so the godfather has reached the end of the filming and cannot continue to write a chapter. The only confession in that life. Although the cardinal who listened to became the pope, he was murdered in an instant, but he might take his confession to heaven and let the Lord pardon his sin.
The Godfather series has a strong religious meaning, is good at using the festive atmosphere, and has excellent use of various soundtracks represented by Sicilian folk songs. It reflects American domestic politics, immigration, race, business, foreign policy, etc., and even revolution, entertainment Wait for the topic of thinking.
