Why must you - when we are talking about the classics, what are we talking about.

Every work once hailed as a classic will bear the fate of a star for the latecomer.
Every person who really loves movies probably has a few "Is this my problem?" in their hearts and can't see any good classics.
Except for some malicious brainless rebels who want to flaunt their outstanding taste by criticizing classics. This is probably because the classic itself is a kind of myth. So much so that "how to become a classic when the classics" became one of the few memory points in the absence of a complete women's literature class that year.


Watched "Dawn of the Owl" last week and rewatched "The Godfather" last night. Xu is precisely because he doesn't like it that much, and every time he sees it, he will be surprised.
The change of attention to the characters in the works is probably also a silhouette of the inner growth.
When I was reading in high school, I had a soft spot for Shanni, a little girl who wanted to have such a big brother, she was brave but bloody. However, the deepest memory is that he was Shanny who never hurt a woman.
Compared to reading the book, the road to watching this movie is much more tortuous.
After seeing the wedding for the first time, I couldn't watch it anymore, and I probably couldn't adapt to such a simple narrative style.
I can't remember the reason for the second time, but it was probably because I got interested after watching "Last Tango in Paris". When I was reading, I was interested in the old man, Shanny, and Tommy, but not Mike. At that time, I didn't like things like the protagonist's halo.
It was only the second time in the movie that Mike flowed into his heart logically.
So far, with me, the Mike of the movie is better than the Mike of the book.
The Mike possessed by Al Pacino is better than the infallible complete Mike in the book.

I want to talk about him and make the classics the classics of him.
If I remember correctly, the first time it appeared was in the mouth of the old man. This is also the most frequently appeared sentence in all the words of the old man about Mike: Where is Mike? where is mike (Why hasn't he come back yet)
If "The Odyssey" is based on the return journey, then to some extent, "The Godfather" can be said to be based on "hoping for the son to return". In the years when the old man was gradually feeling powerless about the world, the youngest returned, the scepter was handed over, the happiness of the family, and the peaceful return to the earth. The wish to list is nothing but what every old man should have when he reaches a certain age. You don't understand it just because it's called Corleone.

"Father murder" is a motif derived from Greek mythology, which has been infused into the blood of Western culture for thousands of years. "Father Killing" script.

"That's my family, not me," Mike assured Kay.
"I Want Your Truth, Did You Do It?" The "No"
movie begins with Mike's lie to Kay and ends with a lie. The difference is that at the beginning Mike doesn't think it's a lie, and at the end Mike probably isn't ready to tell anyone the truth. Some people say that the death of everyone around Mike is part of his own death. According to this saying, the departure of the family and lover took away Mike's innocence and carefree.

On the contrary, if the innocent and worry-free is just a kind of love and indulgence of the family for the underage Mike, a coat of innocence when he was young, Mike wears it as if he is an ordinary American young man with no distractions. . Then, taking it off is a mission that Mike has long been familiar with. In my opinion, Mike has never been so-called naive, rather than saying that the death of his family is part of his death, it is more that the death of his family activates Mike step by step. His father's serious injury was an opportunity for him, a long-awaited opportunity. I've had enough, I want to go home, I'll protect you, Dad.

Just like Harry didn't know he was born with a good gene for using magic, Mike's strength was that he didn't need to deal with anyone other than his father to master everything, he didn't need to start over, he was born to do it . As if he had done it before, he just needs to restore his memory.

It is said that as a man, Mike's life can be regarded as a model, a father who loves himself wholeheartedly and spares no effort to guide him, several brothers who protect themselves with heart and lungs, the cinnabar mole in his heart, the white moonlight in front of the window, and even the ravine that his sister cannot cross. Such a life regret is so standard.

In the long and enviable life like a textbook, Godzilla's heart has lived in his childhood. That's why I have to.

My joy only stays in the snowy Christmas that year, the happy Sicily that year, and those days when my father was looking forward to my coming home.

If there's one standard for the classic, it's that when you're talking about the classic, I think it's not bad after reading it. The classic is probably the process of gradually increasing the code from the first good one.

PS: Finally, let's talk about the question of who Mike loves. If we follow the standard of "like is presumptuous, love is restraint", it is self-evident. Sadly, this statement is no panacea. There is no doubt that Mike loves Sicilian girls. Does the reason still need to be explained? If a man needs to think and weigh under the pressure of a woman to reluctantly say I love you, he must not love you.
For some characters, her destiny was designed early, and at a certain moment she had to disappear, no more than a second. This is the case with Arjuna, Daiyu, and Apolonia.

Love is an instinct, neither long nor short, Mike meets Alperonia.
