So some people say how great Vito is, handy in the gang business, and his career and family. How dark is Michael, let the gang life dominate him, and in the end, even though he is powerful, he is quite desolate.
In fact, because of the different backgrounds of the times and personal experiences when young, how could the two generations of godfathers be the same. It doesn't make much sense to insist on criticizing Michael.
There is nothing to say in the career. The two generations of godfathers chose to be strong for the family and survival, and both succeeded in the end. However, one can be regarded as fighting the world for the time being, and the other can be regarded as being safe for the first time. The nature is different. Moreover, the legal system in Michael’s era was more robust, and many things would not be as easy as before. Therefore, you can’t take the court case as evidence of Michael’s failure. Same.
In the family, I can only say that Michael’s failure was to find Kay as his wife, because Kay didn’t understand what Michael was thinking, and couldn’t understand why Michael did a lot of things. He just wanted to live a plain and happy life. A woman like Kay is definitely not suitable for Michael. I don't know why two people with such a big difference in thinking come together. Maybe it is because Michael is nostalgic for the days before becoming the godfather and still wants to keep a part of his past. However, after becoming the godfather, it is no longer possible for Michael to have his own dreams and free life as before, because he must consider the interests of the family. In addition, some people say that the first generation of godfathers are happy at home, but the second generation is not. I just want to say that first of all, Vito's wife is definitely not a person like Kay. Secondly, except for his wife and children, Vito's family has died. How do you know that Vito will not have family conflicts when there are brothers and sisters? Many things are possible and unavoidable in front of powerful power. Just like Fredo is jealous and hates Michael’s power, just because Fredo is Michael’s brother and this younger brother makes him seem too incompetent (but Michael becomes the godfather to gain power is the old godfather Meaning, it was originally not Michael's personal wishes).
The last thing I want to say is that gangsters are meant to kill people, and gangsters who don’t kill don’t become gangsters. Is there any distinction between a kind gang boss and an unkind gang boss? Society must have a legal system, and casual killing is inherently a crime. In an era when the legal system is not sound, we may need a ruler like a godfather to uphold justice, but this system should eventually die out with history.
