From a family rebel, patriot, or fate, he became the successor of the godfather, the family leader, lost confidence in the government or officials, and no longer believed in justice (as in the first part He said it when he went back to the United States and then went to Kay), if at the beginning he said to Kay that he wanted to legalize the Corleone family's property, he was completely immersed in the end, and was publicly tried, becoming a The enemy of this country, the contrast before and after is ironic, and the skill is profound. On the other hand, the decline of the Corleone family was caused by the situation and forced by the general environment. Sheng, but the environment Michael faces is the end of World War II, the country is no longer as chaotic as Vito Corleone when he started, there are so many opportunities, even if he took over the family business, but time changes, he can't follow the old godfather. In the old way, he wanted to whitewash the background of the Mafia, seek changes, and no longer engage in illegal activities, but moving to the Midwest and investing overseas failed to make the Corleone family withdraw from the Mafia business, and still fell into infighting. He inherited his father's life principles, focusing on the family, he must take care of the family and stay with the family, so every time his family is threatened, he still solves the problem through gang violence. , But in this way, his plan had to be delayed indefinitely, and he was more than majestic in killing, but lacking in tenderness, from initially insisting on killing Solasso and the sheriff, to dealing with the five major families later, betraying his relatives and brothers, And enemies like Ross, who acted resolutely and fiercely, ended up making too many enemies and fell into the quagmire of gang fights. In the end, he even killed his brother, brother-in-law, Kay left him, and family partners also betrayed him, He wants to protect the family, but what he does is beyond his control, and finally the family falls apart, tragedy, fate?
The comparison of the lives of the two generations of godfathers highlights the fate of the gangsters, or the shattering of the American dream. The gangster activities allow the family to thrive. They want to quit engaging in legitimate business but run into walls everywhere. In Godfather 3, Michael believes more firmly in politics and organized crime. There is no difference, of course there is a certain reason, but seeing that he has done so much for the whitewashing has not changed other people's impression of his mafia, and his method of whitewashing has not left the mafia, so this argument is more profound. Michael never quit the mafia in his life. At the end of his daughter's death, Connie put on a headscarf to correspond to the opera. It should be said that her daughter's death paid for his sins like the death of Christ, and it was also a punishment for him, and his family had a new generation of godfathers. A new round of killing took place, and the cycle began again.
