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

  • Connie: [shrieking at Michael] You killed my husband! You waited until our father died so nobody could stop you and you killed him! You killed him! You blamed him for Sonny, you always did, everybody did. But you never thought about me. You never gave a dam about me. What am I going to do now?

    Kay Adams: [taking Connie in her arms] Connie...

    Connie: Why do you think he kept Carlo at the mall? All the time he knew he was going to kill him. And then he stood Godfather to our baby. You think you know your husband? You know how many men he had killed! Read the papers. Read the papers! That's your husband!

    [Michael takes Connie into her arms, but she goes wild again and tries to attack him]

    Michael Corleone: Take her upstairs. Get her a doctor.

    [Michael's bodyguards grab Connie and pull her out of the office]

    Michael Corleone: [to Kay] She's hysterical.

    Kay Adams: Is it true?

    Michael Corleone: Don't ask me about my business, Kay.

    Kay Adams: Is it true?

    Michael Corleone: Don't ask me about my business...

    Kay Adams: No...

    Michael Corleone: [slams the desk] ENOUGH!

  • [to Rocco who has killed Paulie in the car]

    Peter Clemenza: Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
