Sometimes people's fate is not completely in their own hands. Although some things are controllable, sometimes it is useless to work hard.

In fact, I can't understand why so many people think that Kay has accepted everything by choosing to marry Mike, and that the woman from Sicily is more suitable for Mike. Mike and Kay should be suitable at least initially, but after choosing to protect his family, he is still full of confidence in the legalization cause and has a commitment to Kay, but the legalization process is long and difficult, or there is little hope.

The emotional line is probably only a small part of the film. Mike's marriage and family are unfortunate, while the old godfather's marriage and family are harmonious and happy. The reasons are, on the one hand, the reasons of the times, and on the other hand, the character s reason. Mike looks calm and restrained on the surface, but is actually impulsive and irritable, while Victor Corleone is more peaceful. The portrayal of Connie in the first part made me wonder why there is such a disgruntled person in the family who will only hold back. relatives

Mike, who took this road to protect his family, ended up leaving all his relatives around him. What changed was Mike or the people around him?
