The Godfather is the book that captivated me, not a movie

I came into contact with "The Godfather" a little late. I only finished watching the first one in a month, and when I found out that there were two thirds, I couldn't watch it any longer. The taste has changed, not the same.
Just like I wouldn't think of a noodle restaurant's noodles as consistently good, I don't think The Godfather is a full-blown classic.
I have clicked on the movie no less than ten times, and I was very shocked by the self-report of the boss of the coffin at the beginning and Tang's answer. After that, I really can't watch it anymore.
Saying that "The Godfather" is a man's Bible is only that those who believe in this creed have a higher right to speak.
My biggest feeling after watching "The Godfather" is that this is a world of lies. We are guided and brainwashed by a certain thought, and we try to brainwash others with our own thoughts. Therefore, those who are repeatedly brainwashed can only be mediocre or suffer bad luck.
In The Godfather, the fate of all of us is explained. However, it has not been clearly stated and has no guiding significance. In the past few decades, how many things have been explained clearly in a book? Can a movie be able to perform it thoroughly?

The Godfather quotes

  • Michael: Fredo, who are the girls?

    Fredo: That's for you to find out.

    Michael: Get rid of them, Fredo.

    Fredo: Hey, Mike, uh...

    Michael: I'm here on business I leave tomorrow now get rid of them. Come on, I'm tired. Get rid of the band, too.

    [Fredo chases everyone out of the room]

    Michael: What happened to Moe Greene?

    Fredo: He had business. He said give him a call. Once the party started.

    Michael: Well, give him a call. Hello, Johnny.

    Johnny Fontane: Mike, it's nice to see you again.

    Michael: We're all proud of you. Sit down, Johnny, I want to talk to you. The Don's proud of you, too.

    Johnny Fontane: Well, I owe it all to him.

    Michael: He knows how grateful you are. That's why he'd like to ask a favor.

    Johnny Fontane: Mike, what can I do?

    Michael: The Corleone family is thinking of giving up all of its interest in the olive oil business, settling out here. Now Moe Greene will sell us his share of the hotel and the casino so that it can be completely owned by the family. Tom.

    [Hagen hands Michael some papers]

    Fredo: Hey, Mike, are you sure about that? I mean, Moe, loves the business. He never said anything to me about sellin'.

    Michael: I'll make him an offer he can't refuse. You see, Johnny, we feel that entertainment is going to be a big factor in drawing gamblers into the casinos. We're hoping that you'll sign a contract agreeing to appear 5 times a year. Perhaps convince some of your friends in the movies to do the same. We're counting on you, Johnny.

    Johnny Fontane: Sure, Mike, I'll do anything for my Godfather. You know that.

    Michael: Good.

    Moe Greene: Hey, Mike! Everybody's here. There's Tom. Freddie. Good to see you, Mike.

    Michael: How are you, Moe?

    Moe Greene: You got everything you need? The chef cooked for you special, the dancers will kick your tongue out and your credit is good. Draw chips for everyone in the room so they can play on the house.

  • [delivering his rehearsed speech]

    Luca Brasi: Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter... 's wedding... on the day of your daughter's wedding. And I hope their first child be a masculine child. I pledge my ever-ending loyalty.
