The growth history of one generation, the housekeeping process of the second generation The story of the first generation is full of hope and prosperity. Although Victor had a bad deck of cards in his hand, he gradually became prosperous and respected, and his family became prosperous, and finally he finally avenged his father's death. A young man, although he has nothing, has the belief that he has everything, and is determined to wash away the shame for himself. Then go to success, consolidate success, and live the rest of the year with plenty of room. The story of the second generation is full of setbacks, starting with assassination, betrayal, and then family members leave or die in various ways. The family needs to turn the tide, but the legalization of the Corleone family has not been achieved after seven years. He wants to be the head of the family like his father, but Mike can't do it with both kindness and kindness. His slaughter style and growing paranoia make him more and more lonely and irritable.
What impressed me deeply was the way the father and son deal with their family relationships. Victor would say, "How beautiful she is, I only care about my wife and son", but Mike closed when Kay asked his son to give his mother another kiss. door. In a generation of stories, when it comes to family, the picture is always warm yellow. The husband is next to his wife, hugging, and surrounded by children with innocent smiles on the ground. The story of the second generation is cold gray and black, and only the place where they dance at the beginning is normal. But there they were talking about unfulfilled pasts and uncertain futures, unexplained failures and empty promises. There is only one word "Trust me" that can be said, but the words are so pale. After repeating it thousands of times, this sentence will eventually be decoded as an escape, a thick barrier that closes the door of the heart.
In the last time change at the end of the film, Mike, who was still in college, also stated that it was his father's practice to consider issues from the family's standpoint, and that he had volunteered to join the army to serve the country. And Mike is no longer who he was before, risking his life for the family's reputation and the stability of the family's power. During the prayer to the Virgin Mary, his brother was also shot and killed by him on the boat. But Mike couldn't become a father, and he couldn't maintain the prosperity inside and outside the family as he hoped. This is due to his personality, and it is the meaning of the irreversible era. It was the danger of the family that put him on the position of the second-generation head of the family, but it also continued to lead him to sacrifice himself for the family. However, self-sacrifice still can not restore the decline, more and more lonely, more paranoid, more and more desperate, so more and more no longer the former self. The price is so heavy, but he can only internalize it, and then continue to run himself for the family. The eyes staring into the distance were calm and cold, the cigarette in his hand took a puff, and then slowly exhaled. The old days are gone, he examines himself and knows that he has no way out.
