Loner

Just watched the fourth time, the last scene, everyone went to greet my father, because today is his birthday. But only Mike was alone, sitting at the dining table, drinking alone. Those people died in the end, and Tom also distanced himself from Mike. In the setting sun, Mike was alone, and the camera zoomed in closer and closer, shining on his face, as if he was contemplating something. This scene reminds me of the old godfather, the same loneliness, the same for the family, but it is much more difficult to keep this family business than to start. No one can understand him, he has lost the love of his children and his wife, and under the background music, he is a little desolate. The final success is probably all alone.

    The second episode is a symphony where memories and reality are intertwined. Coppola compared the Corleone family to the Roman Empire. Those who conspired to pull the emperor down would have to die in the end. Michael: if anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it's that you can kill anyone./ In 1901, a desperate Italian boy flew across the sea alone and came to New York. He wanted to build his own home and chose one The hard and dangerous road became the boss of the gang and protected the fellow villagers. But in the next generation, his son Micheal said that I am an American and would like to fight for the country. Blood and country, which one is belonging? Which is more important, survival or morality? The old godfather died, and M continued to expand the family map until he almost became a prisoner. The scene at the hearing was undoubtedly a satire of the politicians who persecuted Hollywood screenwriters during the McCarthyism period.

The Godfather: Part II quotes

  • Michael Corleone: I'll change; I'll change. I've learned that I have the strength to change.

  • Hyman Roth: If I could only live to see it, to be there with you. What I wouldn't give for twenty more years! Here we are, protected, free to make our profits without Kefauver, the goddamn Justice Department and the F.B.I. ninety miles away, in partnership with a friendly government. Ninety miles! It's nothing! Just one small step, looking for a man who wants to be President of the United States, and having the cash to make it possible. Michael, we're bigger than U.S. Steel.
