"Godfather" is here , beyond the sacred meaning of religion, and more of the meaning of rivers and lakes, how much blood and blood is hidden behind this word.
Unlike other films that show the underworld, "The Godfather" doesn't have too many bloody scenes, but it always makes me feel a sense of oppression, as if death is approaching step by step. Even if Mike Corleone fled to a remote town in Italy, far from the hatred of the United States, and could marry leisurely, I would still worry about when he would be found by the haters.
The film shows people the traps one by one: intimidation, lure, betrayal, assassination, revenge... If you accidentally walk in, the scythe of the god of death will be raised and dropped in the end.
What makes me applaud the most is The Godfather's expression of death and its exploration of destiny.
I don't know if the underworld can really kill people without blinking an eye. With the gloomy background music, the murderer is like death possessed, and can easily end other people's lives, clean and neat, not too much blood, not too much. struggle. The most interesting thing is the scene where Mike Cornyon baptized his nephew. Before that, he had already arranged an earth-shattering killing, so birth and death, holiness and darkness alternated, and the conflict reached its peak. However, Soon, it was all over and a new godfather was born.
If death is a kind of relief, it is not painful in itself, but the process of getting rid of the shackles of fate. Mike Corleone, a young man who was rewarded by the US military, once thought that he could choose his destiny and escape the shadow of his family, but this was just his naive idea. Once he became a child of the Corleone family, his life was doomed. Put it on the cliff, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you must go back and fight for the interests and dignity of the family. Since Mike Corleone was protecting the old godfather-his father in the hospital, he has become the nurture object of the old godfather and the heir of the next godfather. Although he still has many brothers, his but and calmness have determined his different fate - other people were killed and used by others, and he went to kill. Character determines fate, perhaps this is the truth. When the former father's man squatted down, kissed his right hand, and called himself "Godfather", Mike Corleone officially became the new leader of a gangster family, which also meant the victory of fate.
There are still two sequels I haven't watched yet, the road is long and the road is long...
