In fact, the inner character of the two generations of godfathers may not be much different. But in terms of expression, there may be a big difference.
The two generations of godfathers, divided in character, should belong to the controlling personality, and the ideal controlling personality. Enneagram No. 8, mbti is ntj. Typical characteristics are like controlling judgment, good at planning, self-sustaining rationality, and not being emotional. He is sensitive to concepts and fictional things, and is a conceptualist. At the same time, the cognition and planning ability of specific things is also very strong. Paranoid, strong willpower, likes to adapt to one's own subjective ideals, stubbornly act according to one's own ideals, relatively numb to some material needs. Conceptualism (ni) and advancing control (te) are shared by two people. They are all light-lifting, bold and open-minded personality. The ability to recognize and process things is very strong, and he is a character who can stand alone.
To talk about the difference between the two people, the first point is that the old godfather is ni in front and te in the back. That is to say, he is slower to make decisions. First, he asked'his own ideas before making a decision. For example, the drug thing in the first part. Mike also insisted that not trafficking in drugs is ni, but there are also si (experience, execution, stubbornness) factors in it. The new godfather is te first and ni behind. Make decisions faster, make the decision first, and ask your own ideas (ni). For example, when Mike Sicily’s lover mattered, he completely ignored ni and directly used te to take action, and the action was effective and direct, and he was married (si, The sense of ritual of marriage). But when he confessed, he also confessed that he was unfaithful to his wife, so he also had ni, and knew that this was not right, but ni is the second function, so action comes first. The second point is that the third function of the old godfather is se, and the new godfather is si. First of all, the old godfather's se is actually not very obvious. In the movie, one is pretending to be a ghost and teasing his grandson, and the other is yelling at Johnny. Se is like playing around, and roar is the compulsive personality of te plus se. The old godfather is an experienced old man. The dangerous and unreliable nature of se has long been suppressed by his strong will. He asked Mike to be cautious after taking over. He also said that he has a lesson to speculate that he might have eaten se. Dry, superficial, dangerous loss. The third function of the new godfather is si, a kind of plan implementation, careful calculation, step by step, focus on tradition, and so on. From the beginning of killing the two people, the details were made to be dripping, and after one shot, another shot was fired to ensure the killing, and it was between the eyebrows. Then the plan to kill the five big family chiefs, thrift, economic ability, and expansion of business power all show his meticulousness and control. Reluctant, cold, careful and meticulous, and far-sighted are the characteristics of ni plus si. The third point is that the old godfather’s emotional intelligence and external personality are extremely good at communication, good at coordinating all aspects of interest needs, and have a strong subjective will, courage to achieve, open up and innovative. From the first to the second, his communicative methods and arbitrary characteristics are obvious, and since he is the godfather, he can satisfy all aspects and his ability to coordinate communication is evident. And when he killed the Sicilian, including revenge, he hid the knife in his smile, first saluting and then pawning. For revenge as the new godfather, he would never kiss the hand of the enemy and do it like this with a smile. The new godfather is a calm temperament with reticence and silence, coupled with a strong ability to collect and distinguish information, he is a type that knows how to be cute when he sees the slightest. Maybe he often appears in a dogmatic manner in his movies, but in fact he is very deliberate. And this kind of person does not mean that he is not stubborn, but he can listen to other people's opinions. It's like when he first promised Kay not to interfere in family affairs, he can still take on the big responsibility when the crisis comes. The more the crisis is, the more he can embody his tough methods. Looks thin and small, calm and quiet, but in fact extremely powerful and stubborn. His extroversion is reflected in te. He is a person who can give up arbitrariness for te. From the section between him and the old Cuban man, it can be seen that if it is introverted, the principle is much stronger than Mike. Hard means. Looks thin and small, calm and quiet, but in fact extremely powerful and stubborn. His extroversion is reflected in te. He is a person who can give up arbitrariness for te. From the section between him and the old Cuban man, it can be seen that if it is introverted, the principle is much stronger than Mike. Hard means.

From the section between him and the old Cuban man, it can be seen that if it is introverted, the principle is much stronger than Mike.
By the second part, Mike has already begun to taste the pain in the film. Judging from his character, he is a person who can stand up in times of crisis, but although he has always held this concept of being a family and a family, his personality and environment have finally evolved into a distortion. Te and si are definitely types that cannot tolerate sand. In Mike’s view, first of all, in order to maintain the strong and safe family (te+si), promote the family status (te), make plans, abide by the principles, and for betrayal, the family is the first to violate the family. The development of safety te violates the concept ni, and violates his traditional concept and plan si. So he would never tolerate it, and even hurt his brother-in-law and elder brother. It also reflects his te and si. But this kind of regret also tortured him all his life, because he was the first to act, and once the decision was made, he must be reached. By the end of the second part, Kay left Mike, Mike killed Fredo, and remembered how happy his father was when the family was happy. In the end, everyone went to celebrate his father’s birthday, leaving the memories and the lonely self in reality. Mike didn't express it, but his inner heart should be extremely complicated at that moment. He had been thinking about his family and he did not hesitate to start with Fredo, but in the end he was lonely. Is he inferior to the old godfather? The arrogant Mike has no regrets at this time, some are reflections, some are painful, and some are not understood and he thinks he has to do it as a last resort. At this moment, he was extremely lonely at the pinnacle of power, but what he really wanted was destroyed by him, and what reality gave him imprisoned him. He was struggling, suffering, but his face was naturally expressionless, and he was still constantly reaching, planning, for the family, for the family's status, reputation, and security.
