When you first watch this movie, you will feel that it depicts the story of an aspiring young man who fell into a mafia leader. But if you think deeply, you will find that it is actually a process in which people continue to choose between living, integrating into the environment, and changing the environment to complete themselves. Going deeper, it is about the changes people's beliefs have on people.
For example, from the moment Mike picked up the gun, I knew that a new godfather was born. When I saw this plot for the first time, I thought Mike was innocent. The second time I watched it, it was logical, and the third time I saw it, this was actually Mike's first experience of faith.
For another example, at the beginning of the film, Mike talked to his girlfriend endlessly about his father’s actions. Although he spoke with contempt, he was absolutely proud in his heart. The subtext is: I believe I can compare My dad does better!
Ma Lan Bai Longdu's acting skills are impeccable, to interpret such a role, for him, it is indifferent that old is indifferent than the sky. Al Pazno appears to be a little immature, lacking a certain tension. This tension does not show a trace of the protagonist's original youthfulness, and when he interprets the new godfather, the calmness and arrogance that he reflects, some Deliberately, just look at Godfather 2 and 3 to know that Al was the real good actor at that time.
Let's talk about the director. To make such an epic gangster movie, the skill needs to be considered is not one or two points. I think it is perfect for several points. One is the light, especially the light and shadow composition of the characters. The portrayal of the characters in the film is very important; the second is the music, several pieces of music are unparalleled; the third is the character setting, the protagonist and supporting roles are very good, and it is very easy to read; the fourth is the way of telling the story, which is close to the one. The 3-hour movie not only does not make people drowsy, but also makes people more and more tasteful. This is a classic!
In the end, of course, it is faith. For a traditional Catholic country like Italy, the belief in God is a promise for hundreds of thousands of years. This is stated in the Godfather, yes, I am sure of God, because I am God! In its most developed era, the Mafia was a force that controlled the lifeblood of society. Any politician or businessman who wanted to continue to mix in a certain city must be able to eat the local mafia, and master these mafia godfathers, It is really a God, a God who is constantly rising in the darkness and constantly washing himself white.
