The family is only when people are there. The old godfather relies on prestige to guard the family, and Mike relies on majesty, so betrayal is never allowed. When a person is afraid of you, he will subconsciously protect himself and make a way out for himself. The old godfather taught Mike how to establish prestige and how to calmly confront the enemy, but ignored the education of family and affection. Mike is also very lonely. He hopes his family and people can understand what he has done. But he ignored that people are gone. What is the point of guarding this family? The old godfather is because of his family, because the people who worked for him, in order to protect them, must maintain the status of the Corleone family. Allow them to live a safe and happy life, while Mike is for his own safety, for the Corleone family, he will never allow betrayal, only by getting rid of them will he be safe. I really feel sorry for Mike. His loneliness is destined, and only he can feel the pain. Both are very classic, man and man. Worth pondering.
