or rely on strength

The core truth of this movie: Power comes from the barrel of a gun

Because the strength of the Russian father is still there, there is a great possibility of a sequel

The wonderful story is highly compressed in the way of third-person narration. In fact, the filming is longer, and even a TV series will be very good.

Guns still have to lead their own team, mercenaries are unreliable. This is also true of the Jew from Godfather II. Why are the Jews doing this?

Politicians are not involved much in this film, the space is limited, and the declining aristocracy and Russian oligarchs are a little representative.

The British aristocratic schools in the movie are often filled with descendants of declining nobles, corrupt foreign officials and even gang leaders. Children of this good family have to learn badly when they go there.

    A textbook film about the use of sound, the fame of the godfather allowed Coppola to make a film regardless of everything, and it was precisely because of this that he made such an anti-typed art film. The theme of eavesdropping also alluded to the current status of American society , the eavesdropper is also the monitored person, and the final loneliness of the protagonist is also universal. Now it seems that eavesdropping and the like are just petty troubles. And, the two old generals in the godfather only had soy sauce.

    [A] It's really amazing, this is probably the most exquisite depiction of psychological externalization in Coppola's films. In the framework of suspenseful subjects, Coppola quietly leads to two main themes: the alienation of individuals in the context of information crisis, and the inevitable subjectivity in audiovisual reconstruction. In the first two-thirds of the film, the protagonist's "loneliness" as an individual in the group is emphasized, as well as the suspicion and alienation expressed in emotion and work. He yearns for contact, but lingers in nothingness. Coppola aggravated the parasitic parasitism within the individual, and at the same time rationalized this contradiction to reflect the degree to which the individual was alienated by the oppression of the external environment. The last twenty minutes are absolutely perfect. Unlike "The Fierce Line", the images in "Dialogue" are always lagging, closed, and even "imaginary". The protagonist, like the audience, is guided by sound and is Deceived by the senses, defeated by the "truth". In the last scene, love, career and faith all collapsed at that moment, only "art" can carry this lonely soul.
