The sequel of the movie has always been a topic that people are extremely expecting and often disappointed in the end. This is especially true for a film that has a very complete structure. Because in movies like "Lord of the Rings" or "Star Wars", the story of each episode just comes to an end. As long as the subsequent stories are consistent with the style of the previous episode, and then use the pre-made layouts, you can always Satisfying. And these movies connected with novels are not so much an appealing plot as it satisfies the hobby of human collection. Just like collecting a complete set of stamps, many fans want to watch a complete set of movies, and this thing alone can satisfy them.
But as I said before, it is not easy to make a sequel to a film with a complete story. The last two works of "The Matrix" did not have the philosophical style of the first one at all, and when the sequel of "The Silent Lambs" was filmed, the heroine and the director directly announced their withdrawal after reading the script. The sequels of these two top 100 movies in the world are lackluster. If one day to make a sequel to "Shawshank's Redemption", the result may be even worse.
So I solemnly recommend "The Godfather 2" to everyone today. We know that in the new world movie top100 "The Godfather" replaces "Shawshank" at the top of the list. Under such a halo, "The Godfather 2" is still in the top ten (both new and old versions). Although the ranking is only a ranking, it does not have absolute power, but at least it shows that this movie is worth watching.
How to add a narrative to a complete story? The director usually chooses to describe the story after the story, telling about the bloody struggle of the second-generation godfather; or to add back to the past and supplement the following first-generation godfather's family history. So the method of "The Godfather 2" is to combine these two stories, narrate them in a parallel montage, and finally meet at the end of the film.
One negative effect of this is that it drags the originally lengthy plot longer, up to three hours and twenty minutes, which is a bit longer than the three hours of the first game of "The Godfather". The other two defects are: 1. The Godfather may not be able to understand the plot without reading the first book, and he is destined to be unable to understand its connotation2. Like other Italian movies, with personal fate and struggle as the theme, there is a strong tragic color. It is not recommended for students who have no love for Italian movies.
