People in the arena involuntarily.

I think the biggest success of this movie for me is not to bring out the perfect villain King Kelion, but to engrave the extremely self-conscious black nobleman Michael. "The Godfather" is an old predecessor in the classics. Brando's well-informed acting skills have long become the logo of the film. I thought that when I watched it, I thought it was probably the meaning of the media instilled over the years to entertain the film. I really couldn't think of him. Can give me a surprise: Michael. It can be said that Mr. Brando did not completely rule "The Godfather." I think the "Godfather" is not just about taking pictures of the old Godfather Kleon, it actually covers the meaning and changes of the old and new generations of the Godfather. (As Bazzini said: the time is changeed) The old godfather is cold, tough, and loyal. Doing business is like making friends; the little godfather is calm, selfish, and unrelenting. Making friends is like doing business. Why, why is Michael? It can only be him! I still remember that Kleon said in the garden that he let Michael’s two brothers intervene in the business, just to prevent him from intervening. The old Kleon hopes that there will be a Kleon Senate in his family, but the Governor of Lyon, and even... ·He had hoped that his youngest son would get ahead. why? Because Michael is too smart, this kind of person should use his talents on the right path; because Michael is too cunning, this kind of person is suitable to put his mind on the political arena that is 10,000 times more vile than the underworld. But Leon couldn't hide his regret for his son in his tone. He hoped that he would not get involved in the underworld, but the white way and the red way. He should have a decent future. But people can't help themselves in the arena. Michael didn't also say to Kaye: "I will never go the way of my father." And he was also the most gentle of the film at the beginning. There is a funny scene: While standing in the medical post for his father, a police officer asked the police officer: "In what name shall I arrest him? He is not guilty. He has also made war merits." But everything is different. From the punch of the sheriff, from the time he decided to avenge his father, he has already started. Here, Michael kills more because of his sense of responsibility for the family business and his filial piety to his father. (And later killing brother-in-law, I am afraid it was to remove the roots) When he arrived in Sicily, he had a good time. Here, he is a noble prince who has won the princess. Until I heard the tragic death of my brother and witnessed the murder of his beloved wife, knowing that it was all for his sake, the devil in the bottle was released at this moment. Planning the rebirth of the family and the collective killing of the five major families, Michael is familiar with it, as straightforward as he is to help him. Yes, times have changed. The time has come when gangs can or they think they can do whatever they want. The old godfather and his beliefs are out of fashion, but the king's tolerance still exists: to make concessions in accordance with the current situation, and willingly withdraw from the stage. This is the era of the new godfather Michael. The outstanding personal leadership skills and the new needs of the new era made Michael involuntarily and willingly sitting on his father's leather chair, saying i do to the priest, and accepting his personal gifts. It also became "Mr. Corleone", an icon. This is the dilapidated era after World War II. The ruffians in the world have succumbed, and the big powers have reached a consensus: Everyone has swept their doors. The new peace is: obey all of this. International hooligans are not tolerated in the global village, they can only run rampant in their own homes. The golden age of politicians has arrived. Michael knows this keenly, so he uses dirty zz tactics to restart the family business to new glory. But Leon is right, Michael is suitable for politics. But he didn't expect that the rivers and lakes had already become fishy like a court. His excuse for not participating in drug trafficking is that the church does not allow it, and his son is carrying out a massive assassination when he is speaking to the priest. Times have changed. When you can change, change as soon as possible; when you are unable to change, withdraw as soon as possible. And if it’s the birth of the times and don’t want to be overwhelmed, try your best to make waves! People are involuntarily in the age. We think that we can choose freely. If the options are limited early, it will be no different from destiny. Perhaps, in order to shirk future responsibilities, more and more people will willingly let the times make choices.

The Godfather quotes

  • Capt. McCluskey: I thought I got all you Guinea hoods locked up! What the hell are you doing here?

    Michael: What happened to the men who were guarding my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: I pulled them guys off of here, eh, now get away from this hospital!

    Michael: I'm not leaving until you put some guards around my father's room.

    Capt. McCluskey: Phil, take him in!

    Cop with Capt. McCluskey outside hospital: The kid's clean Captain, he's a war hero! He's never been mixed up with the rackets...

    Capt. McCluskey: Goddamn it Phil, I said take him in!

    Michael: What's the Turk paying you to set up my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Patrolmen] Take a hold of him. Stand him up. Stand him up straight.

    [punches Michael and breaks his jaw]

  • Sollozzo: [to Michael, in Sicilian] I am sorry. What happened to your father was business. I have much respect for your father. But your father, his thinking is old-fashioned. You must understand why I had to do that. Now let's work through where we go from here.

    [Michael tries speaking in Sicilian, but can't express himself properly, so with a quick look at McCluskey they both switch to English]

    Michael: What I want... what's most important to me is that I have a guarantee: no more attempts on my father's life.

    Sollozzo: What guarantees could I give you, Mike? I'm the hunted one. I've missed my chance. You think too much of me, kid. I am not that clever. All I want is a truce.

    Michael: I have to go to the bathroom. Is that all right?

    Capt. McCluskey: You gotta go, you gotta go.

    [Michael gets up, but a suspicious Sollozzo probes Michael's crotch, to Michael's offense]

    Capt. McCluskey: I frisked him. He's clean.

    Sollozzo: Don't take too long...

    [Michael heads to the bathroom]

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Sollozzo] I frisked a thousand young punks.
