How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free.
The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind "
Three films, nine hours, 18 years of shooting, the film spans half a century, telling the life of a man involuntarily.
At that time, Micheal dropped out of college and joined the Navy, "risk his life for the country". Later, when he heard that the new pope might be in danger, he only said "Let's go back to the opera."
At that time, he could still say " risk his life for the country. " That's my family, Kay. It's not me." Later, he could only cover his forehead with his hands, feeling helplessly, "I tried. I tried to keep everything from coming to this"
From a career perspective, Micheal was more successful than Vito. Vito fled to the United States at the age of nine. He started his business by selling olive oil. Later he made a fortune by selling bootleg alcohol. Later, he became one of the top five families in New York by operating a casino. Micheal was ordered to abandon New York and move to Nevada, gradually establishing a new base in Las Vegas, expanding the scope of casino operations, and attempting to support the agent regime in Latin America and laundering money. Finally, with the help of the Holy See, the family business was successfully laundered. White.
If Vito is the guardian of Sicilian society and the fair judge of Italian immigrants, then Micheal is more like a pioneer of a new era. But in the process of pioneering, I can never get rid of blood and tears:
The family cannot be disintegrated from within, so Tessio, his biological brother Fredo, his sister's beloved husband Carlo, and the family elder Pentangeli, who accompanied Vito to fight the world, were all executed one by one;
to avenge his father and brother, so the five big families collapsed overnight; in
order to rob business, So Moe Green, the founder of Las Vegas, was shot and killed;
to avoid government investigations, Roth, who had sealed Cannian, had to be silenced; in
order to succeed in whitewashing, the archbishop and all the participants were all murdered. . .
In the trilogy, the dialogue between the old and new godfathers seems to be metaphorical: Vito feels that he has been fighting for a lifetime, and doesn't want to be a marionette, but can't escape this world. I hope that one day Micheal can become the one who is the matchmaker, Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone. At that time, Micheal's answer was firm and brief "Another Pezzonovante, we'll get there, Pop.".
At the end of the story, Micheal was feeling to Vincent, "You won't be able to go back. You will be like me", and the answer to him was Vincent, who was ambitious and eager to make contributions, "Well, I don't want out"
The godfather at that time was so young and so determined and wishful thinking.
Although Micheal is a natural strategy strategist, he has no emotions and anger, but he is ruthless and ruthless. However, he was driving ducks to the shelves, and he had to guard the family.
We have witnessed how Micheal has gradually grown from a rich young boy with ideals and feelings to a mafia godfather with power in the world and full of blood. We witnessed the cold blood and struggle of this man. Vincent, on the other hand, is ambitious and unwilling to be an illegitimate child who is not valued and shaded by others. He chasing power, so he is eager for a position.
I don't know, what will Vincent tell his heirs when the new generation is replaced by the old in a few decades.
Most people have not been able to watch the movie completely, only people would say that Godfather 3 is a work by a dog. I have always liked this one, because Godfather 3 makes the whole story complete, makes all the metaphors interpretable, and makes all the fate even more desperate.
The heights are too cold, Micheal can only survive alone, and grow old alone. He and Kay can only end in tragedy, because in Kay's mind he is still the naval officer who guards the lives of others, not the cold-blooded godfather of "Keep your friends close, and keep your enermies closer".
Micheal tried his best to prevent Mary and Vincent from being in a relationship, not because of the so-called Sicilian honor, as Kay said, but did not want Mary and Vincent to repeat Kay and his tragedy. Because "Women and children can be careless, but not men", but they are too well protected, but they can't understand the men who are charging ahead.
The trilogy is full of satire and metaphors, full of a kind of fateful helplessness, a generation of heroes will eventually die with the wind. As the song said, "The anser my friend, is blowing in the wind. The anser is blowing in the wind".
