Classic, but I don't want to see it again

I just watched Godfather 1, but after watching it, I dare not watch 2 and 3. It's a classic, it's classic enough, but it's boring to me. The old Corleone who likes Brando's creation has an indescribable temperament. He just sat there, wearing a black dress, giving orders casually in a hoarse and steady voice, and even his posture was exquisite. But watching people die one by one, watching Mike's transformation step by step, I felt so depressed and sad. There is no fanatical desire for power in Michael's nature, he is pure love for his father. He used to say I didn't want to be like him, but I love him. But in the end, he still became the person he never dreamed of, and he seemed to be more cold-blooded and ruthless than his father. Alas, this can't be said to be degenerate, it's fate, and it's also the path he chose.
It is said that in 2, Mike personally killed his brother, and in 3, Mike's daughter also died, and the once handsome Mike became an old man who could cry, ah, still don't watch it.

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.
