Michael's cry.
When his father was seriously ill and his family was in crisis, he was restrained, calm and composed;
He knew that Kai was going to leave him, and that the aborted child was also deliberately done by Kai. The long-fermented guilt was quickly overwhelmed by anger. He shot Kai and even found that Kai was secretly watching the child, watching him with tears in his eyes. There was panic, expectation, and prayer, but he just closed the door expressionlessly;
He knew his brother Fredo, and when the family he had always protected betrayed him, he felt more grief than death, and decided to be a stranger to his brother.
At these times, including several near-death attempts, he didn't cry. I thought such a person would never cry in his life. until:
In Sicily, his son said to him, "Dad, I have a gift for you. This song originated from the town of Corleone. It is an authentic Sicilian song. I learned this song for you". He has been shielding the family from the wind and rain, but does anyone know that he is also flesh and blood, and he is also tired and painful? When the soft singing sounded, the old Michael thought of the first beautiful wife of Sicily, a pure and kind girl who was killed because of herself. Michael has no shortage of gifts and flattery, but when was the last time someone felt so full of love? Is it his parents? Unfortunately, his parents have left him. Is it Kai who left him? He knew that Kai was afraid of him now. Is it the surviving sister Connie? Because he shot Connie's husband, there would be a rift between them. Maybe only the youngest daughter, Mary, loved him wholeheartedly. Michael burst into tears and looked at her involuntarily.
When Michael suffered from diabetes and hypoglycemia, the cardinal said that "when the heart is tormented, the body cannot bear it" and advised Michael to confess. Michael also had this intention, but he had not confessed for 30 years, he knew the crime was serious, and he didn't know where to start. "I think I'll take up too much of your time" "I always have time to save souls." "I betrayed my wife, I betrayed myself, I kill, and I order others to kill, I order my men to kill I killed my brother because he hurt me, I killed my mother's son, and I killed my father's son." At this point, old Michael burst into tears. He has always loved his mother deeply, so he wants his mother to protect his brother's safety while he is alive. After his mother's death, according to his usual style, he will cut down the roots and kill his brother. But he didn't expect that he would also hurt himself. Has he regretted it, but there is nothing he can do? Is he afraid that he will meet his parents after death and they will not forgive him and abandon him?
On the steps outside the theater, when the younger daughter Mary stepped forward to fight for her own happiness, "Dad, why did you treat me like this, don't you do this to me?" She was hit in the chest by the bullet and didn't realize it until Michael looked at her with a strange look He just fell to his knees and wanted to ask something, but in the end, only "Dad" came out. Even when she died, there was no panic or anger in her eyes, as if she wasn't sure if such a thing was true. And what she wants to say may be "Dad, I love you" or "Dad, I don't want to give up my lover". Michael's daughter, whom he held in his palm all his life, was willing to die in front of him who "I would go to hell to keep you safe", but still had doubts and was unwilling to love the person he wanted to love without his father's permission. . Holding her face, hugging her body, and giving up after confirming again and again. "Oh, God, please." Believe that if possible, he would like to be taken away from him. I believe that at that moment his spiritual pillar collapsed. Yes, how will he go on in the second half of his life, the people he will protect all his life will leave him one by one. Old Michael sat on the steps dumbfounded with pain, unable to breathe, unable to take care of his image, no longer hiding.
Michael said, family, children, is the greatest wealth. What he got was not what he wanted, what he guarded all his life, finally slipped through his fingers...
