What is the most impressive detail in the Godfather trilogy?

There are two points that I feel the most impressive, one of which is the beginning Mike Kryon said to his girlfriend at his sister's wedding, my family is my family, but I am me.

When the old godfather was shot six times and was hospitalized, it was Mike who used his wisdom to keep the old godfather alive. It feels like a transformation for the youngest son, Mike Kryon.

There is also a scene in 2, that is, after Mike was betrayed twice by his second brother, he said don't let me see you, you can go to see your mother and so on.

Then at his mother's funeral, Connie, Mike's sister, begged Mike to forgive his brother, but Mike finally killed his brother. I think it should be in this family, after the death of the mother that Mike had always cared about, the remaining The others below are just like strangers to Mike.

It feels like this at the end of 2, too, at the table, when their siblings are together, but Mike is sitting alone.

The Godfather quotes

  • Capt. McCluskey: I thought I got all you Guinea hoods locked up! What the hell are you doing here?

    Michael: What happened to the men who were guarding my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: I pulled them guys off of here, eh, now get away from this hospital!

    Michael: I'm not leaving until you put some guards around my father's room.

    Capt. McCluskey: Phil, take him in!

    Cop with Capt. McCluskey outside hospital: The kid's clean Captain, he's a war hero! He's never been mixed up with the rackets...

    Capt. McCluskey: Goddamn it Phil, I said take him in!

    Michael: What's the Turk paying you to set up my father, Captain?

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Patrolmen] Take a hold of him. Stand him up. Stand him up straight.

    [punches Michael and breaks his jaw]

  • Sollozzo: [to Michael, in Sicilian] I am sorry. What happened to your father was business. I have much respect for your father. But your father, his thinking is old-fashioned. You must understand why I had to do that. Now let's work through where we go from here.

    [Michael tries speaking in Sicilian, but can't express himself properly, so with a quick look at McCluskey they both switch to English]

    Michael: What I want... what's most important to me is that I have a guarantee: no more attempts on my father's life.

    Sollozzo: What guarantees could I give you, Mike? I'm the hunted one. I've missed my chance. You think too much of me, kid. I am not that clever. All I want is a truce.

    Michael: I have to go to the bathroom. Is that all right?

    Capt. McCluskey: You gotta go, you gotta go.

    [Michael gets up, but a suspicious Sollozzo probes Michael's crotch, to Michael's offense]

    Capt. McCluskey: I frisked him. He's clean.

    Sollozzo: Don't take too long...

    [Michael heads to the bathroom]

    Capt. McCluskey: [to Sollozzo] I frisked a thousand young punks.
