Analyze the male protagonist

Throwing his son away, he used to be a good father, but his son wanted to set fire to kill him, and they were disappointed with each other, and no longer thought about saving him, no longer thinking about living a good life. Later, everyone satirized him. He still got his son back. At the end of the movie, he told his son that he just picked it up by himself, because his son had to go digging for oil. He looked down on his cowardice and disability. The son had no qualities in him. , He slowly changed to only money.

The movie shows nakedly and well. A businessman's shrewdness, courage, strong, ruthless, cruel, stubborn, eager to win, has a sense of tenacity, but in the end there is still the fragility and loneliness of being a person, and he also yearns for family affection. This may be the natural difference between people. His fake brother said that he had gone through all the failures and went to jail and he didn't care about success and glory anymore, but he has been pursuing these things all his life. Just like me, I am not a person like him. Although I have slowly learned to be tough, shrewd, patient and shameless in the process of growing up, I still don’t have the kind of passionate mood that he has. , The dream of playing the piano and regaining a long roar.

For his childhood dreams, when he has become filthy and has become a sinner, he feels that dreams are disgusting (not that he is disgusting). Seeing the darkness of human nature, depravity, thinking about leaving everything and living alone. The brother of the godfather is not minded, afraid that he will ran away from home and never come back after paying him a thousand dollars. If he is really smart, he will explain the whole thing with the people in the town before the businessman comes to investigate and raise the money for the land together. Maybe Don't dare to bet, don't you have the guts.

Because I don’t know much about history, it’s still difficult for me to put the story into a larger context. The 19th century was when America’s primitive capital was accumulating, religion was weakened, and beliefs and interests were in a game. If you are a person who knows more about movies, what you see is the art, scenes, characters, and various details of the movie.

Excerpt from Knowing: "I am accustomed to competition, and I don't want anyone to succeed. I hate most people... Sometimes I stare at one person and can't find the slightest advantage. I want to make enough money and stay away from everyone... …I can see the worst of people, and I don’t need to know them deeply to know what I want to know. All the hatred has been gathered little by little over the years." Under the words, the character’s inner hatred and arrogance are already obvious. First, he hates the world; however, he longs for fame and fortune from the world; finally, he wants to stay away from the world. It can be seen that, in a sense, this character is pathologically pursuing a sense of mission: that is, to achieve secular success. And this sense of mission is derived from instinct rather than religion.
