godfather

"The Godfather" is based on the story of the American gang. Although the plot is simple, it is very exciting and the content is ups and downs. As the godfather, Vito Kryon himself, he is calm, wise, and has the judgment and decision-making power like a prophet. All the words used to describe him, no matter the front or the side, are too wonderful. Leader, it should be so. In the book, Tom once said something like this when Michael was talking about his own point of view: "What I want to say is that you still haven't learned something. The way you talk just now is not in accordance with his usual style. There are some things that must be done, and you just do it. You don’t have to talk about it at all. You don’t have to try to prove which things are reasonable and which cannot be explained. You do what you do, and forget it after you do it." It seems that many times I have a lot of words. I hope that everything I do, every opinion I express, and my attitude towards no matter what person or thing can be understood. These understandings can make me better affirm that my decision is correct. of. In fact, if I have identified things in my heart, I will keep these opinions in my heart. I don’t need the approval and applause of others, nor will I be shaken by criticism and rebuttals. How can I care if anyone thinks my approach is right? of? Some things that I don't need to care about make me a little bit like an elderly person, and I talk too much, and it will not be convincing. It is not as good as a resolute look in the eyes. I admire the godfather’s attitude every time he says: "I want to reason with him", the mentality of retreat as a strategist, and the unspoken rule that reasoning is the only opportunity to sit down and negotiate before the bloodshed. At this point, there is no regret. I also know what Godfather Godfather said: "A lawyer with a briefcase can steal more money than a thousand robbers with a gun and a mask". Only if he is as wise as he can be worthy of the title of Godfather. Although I don’t understand how he judged that "a person has only one destiny", what he said "there are often sudden insults in society, which must be endured". This awesome sentence is used all over the world. All dynasties are interlinked under any change of dynasty. It is like “saling the courage”, like “humiliation under the crotch”, and even like yesterday, today and tomorrow, the difficulties encountered on the road once, now or in the future... The last sentence: "The most insignificant person, If he is always paying attention, he will always have the opportunity to avenge the most unbelievable people." It is indeed a classic novel.

The Godfather quotes

  • Sollozzo: Bene, Don Corleone. I need a man who has powerful friends. I need a million dollars in cash. I need, Don Corleone, all of those politicians that you carry around in your pocket, like so many nickels and dimes.

    Don Corleone: What is the interest for my family?

    Sollozzo: Thirty percent. In the first year your end should be three, four million dollars. And then it would go up.

    Don Corleone: And what is the interest for the Tattalgia family?

    Sollozzo: [smiles at Tom] My compliments.

    [Hagen gives a formal nod]

    Sollozzo: I'll take care of the Tattaglias, out of my share.

    Don Corleone: So, I am to receive thirty percent for finance, for legal protection and political influence. Is that what you're telling me?

    Sollozzo: That's right.

    Don Corleone: Why come to me? What have I done to deserve such generosity?

    Sollozzo: If you consider a million dollars in cash merely finance...

    [raises his glass]

    Sollozzo: Te salut, Don Corleone.

    [the Don gets up to take a drink and sits closer to Sollozzo]

    Don Corleone: I said that I would see you because I had heard that you were a serious man, to be treated with respect. But I must say no to you and let me give you my reasons. It's true I have a lot of friends in politics, but they wouldn't be so friendly if they knew my business was drugs instead of gambling which they consider a harmless vice. But drugs, that's a dirty business.

    Sollozzo: No, Don Corleone...

    Don Corleone: It makes no difference, it don't make any difference to me what a man does for a living, you understand. But your business is a little dangerous.

    Sollozzo: If you're worried about security for your million, the Tattaglias will guarantee it.

    Sonny: Whoa, now, you're telling me that the Tattaglias guarantee our investment without...?

    Don Corleone: Wait a minute.

    [the Don gives his son a cold stare, freezing Santino into silence. The others fidget with embarrassment at this outbreak, but Sollozzo looks slyly satisfied...]

    Don Corleone: [dismissive] I have a sentimental weakness for my children and I spoil them, as you can see. They talk when they should listen. Anyway, Signor Sollozzo, my no to you is final. I want to congratulate you on your new business and I'm sure you'll do very well and good luck to you. Especially since your interests don't conflict with mine. Thank you.

    [Sollozzo leaves]

    Don Corleone: Santino, come here.

    Don Corleone: What's the matter with you? I think your brain is going soft with all that comedy you are playing with that young girl. Never tell anyone outside the Family what you are thinking again. Go on.

  • Michael: My credit good enough to buy you out?

    Moe Greene: Buy me out?

    [Fredo laughs nervously]

    Michael: The hotel, the casino. The Corleone Family wants to buy you out.

    Moe Greene: The Corleone Family wants to buy me out? No, I buy you out, you don't buy me out.

    Michael: Your casino loses money, maybe we can do better.

    Moe Greene: You think I'm skimmin off the top, Mike?

    Michael: [Michael shakes his head] You're unlucky.

    Moe Greene: You goddamn guineas you really make me laugh. I do you a favor and take Freddie in when you're having a bad time, and now you're gonna try and push me out!

    Michael: You took Freddie in because the Corleone Family bankrolled your casino, and the Molinari Family on the Coast guaranteed his safety. Now we're talking business, let's talk business.

    Moe Greene: Yeah, let's talk business, Mike. First of all, you're all done. The Corleone Family don't even have that kind of muscle anymore. The Godfather's sick, right? You're getting chased out of New York by Barzini and the other Families. What do you think is going on here? You think you can come to my hotel and take over? I talked to Barzini - I can make a deal with him, and still keep my hotel!

    Michael: Is that why you slapped my brother around in public?

    Fredo: Aw, now that, that was nothin', Mike. Moe didn't mean nothin' by that. Yeah, sure he flies off the handle every once in a while, but me and him, we're good friends, right Moe?

    Moe Greene: I got a business to run. I gotta kick asses sometimes to make it run right. We had a little argument, Freddy and me, so I had to straighten him out.

    Michael: You straightened my brother out?

    Moe Greene: He was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time! Players couldn't get a drink at the table! What's the matter with you?

    Michael: I leave for New York tomorrow, think about a price.

    Moe Greene: Sonofabitch! Do you know who I am? I'm Moe Greene! I made my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders!

    Fredo: Wait a minute, Moe, Moe, I got an idea. Tom, you're the Consiglieri and you can talk to the Don, you can explain...

    Tom Hagen: Now hold it right there. The Don is semi-retired and Mike is in charge of the Family business now. If you have anything to say, say it to Michael.

    Fredo: [Moe Greene leaves] Mike! You do not come to Las Vegas and talk to a man like Moe Greene like that!

    Michael: Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever.
