He got everything and nothing

The "Godfather" series tells the story of the Corleone family's development from a small Italian village to the United States into the largest gangster organization at the time. The Godfather 2 mainly introduces the intrigue between the youngest son Mike and the major gangs and government officials after taking over the family business, and uses his own way to get rid of all those who betrayed him. At the end of the movie, he sits in the bleak autumn wind. In his yard, looking at the fallen leaves, there is no one around him who can really accompany him, so that he can trust him completely. He seemed to have everything, yet he had nothing. But the whole film seems to be that the new generation of godfathers is like a lonely lion walking to the top of power. The end of the road to power is like the emperors of all dynasties ascending the throne. Everywhere is full of the helplessness of people who can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Fredo, his brother who betrayed himself, was killed on a small boat while fishing for Mike's Anthony; the elder Panda Guli, who betrayed his family, cut his wrists and committed suicide while guarding the FBI. The condition is to let Mike take good care of his family; his wife Kay also left the house because he couldn't wait for his repeated promises to clean up the family business. The people he trusted and loved the most have now left. The so-called "man must watch movies" evaluation about the godfather, in my opinion, is the responsibility of the Corleone family for career and family, and the loyalty to friends. These are what a man should really learn. Both Vito and Mike have an incomparable love for children, absolute respect for the elderly, and unparalleled loyalty to their wives. Their family values ​​are the key to maintaining the prosperity of a large family. Speaking of friends, the Corleone family has always adhered to the concept of helping the poor and the weak since the old godfather, helping ordinary people who respect him, and in their careers, the Corleone family has never been involved in the drug trade, which makes the Corleone family Prestige has always been high. The film seems to be telling a gangster story, but it is actually telling the twists and turns of the fate of the two gangsters. The godfathers are also flesh-and-blood emotional animals, but they are more determined and resolute, and have a clearer love and hate. There are many times in life or so, the more you gain, the more you lose, and God is always fair.
