Two doubts and some thoughts

After swiping the film reviews, many people are wondering why he killed his brother. In a complicated group of forces, the betrayer must die. And then also contrasts with the theme of family?

I have always felt that in a good movie, not only the protagonist is worth pondering, but the story of the protagonist is generally told very clearly. I still think about the two supporting characters.

The guy who gave up the fight just because he saw his elder brother who came from his parents and gave up his confession, and who conducted the Italian music at the first banquet, was originally angry and moved by Mike's sincere words, and then for the family's sake. Isn't the little old man who chose his interests to reconcile with the enemy but was almost strangled to death also very active? Why did he cut his wrists and commit suicide in the end? I didn't really understand what Tom said to him at the end. If Mike suggested him to persuade him to commit suicide, I couldn't understand it. I could understand killing his brother. To kill this little old man is a bit too cold-blooded.

And the last Ross, who was just recovering from a serious illness, said that he returned to Israel for the sake of returning to the roots. Isn't it also very touching... Then he was killed... This person was also a bit heartless...

There is also a place where the first generation godfather returned to his hometown to kill his enemies... It was over with one knife, but it was too polite. After killing him, he ran away in a daze, and he didn't report his original name before he died. That old man may not have remembered to kill him. Which one is it... Can't you make the show bigger? Before I kill you, I will tell you righteously that I was the youngest son who ran away from your eyes at the age of nine back then. You killed my whole family back then, and I will come back today to avenge and kill you. First pronounce the sentence, and then play the majestic music like when Mike killed the first time, how happy it is.

... Originally just to record two confusions, the more I write, the more I want to write

Both have a magnificent and epic temperament. The first one is hearty and shocking, and the second one is of the still water and deep current type. I prefer the first one.

There is another question that I am also very interested in. Two generations of godfathers attach great importance to family. One family is reunited and even very warm, and the other is lonely and lonely. What is the reason? Of course, on the one hand, there is the era. The era when the quality of empathy and righteousness is respected is gradually passing away. On the other hand, from the standpoint of a girl who is quite love-minded, I think my wife is also a very important reason.

The wife of a generation of godfathers is a very simple and simple Italian woman. When she was young, she would be very pleasantly surprised by a pear brought back by her husband. And the new rug my husband brought back. Later, her husband suddenly made a fortune and returned to his hometown. The only shot she gave her was the gentle smile when she saw her little son being soured by an olive. The first time her husband killed her, did she notice that her husband suddenly became prosperous, did she have any doubts, did she feel uncomfortable and apprehensive from the time when the child was sick and had no money to treat it to returning home with her husband in honor. She may have all of these, but she has shown nothing in the whole story, and has always been a silent and inclusive image. Such a wife, one can imagine, may sometimes become a spiritual harbor for the first-generation godfather.

And the wife of the second generation godfather, Kay, is a typical American woman. When Mike was a pure-hearted "college student", the two were romantic and elegant before. She is also affectionate, but a woman with knowledge, her own mind, and her own firm values. After Mike murdered and escaped for the first time, there was no news, and she could put down the air of a lady to find him. Many years later, he suddenly reappeared in the life he had finally calmed down. She questioned, she refused, and finally when he whispered "Kay, I need you", he got into his car and left. At the end of the first part, she asked him with tears in her eyes, "Did he do the murder in the newspaper?" He denied it, and then she didn't ask any more, but said, "I'll go and pour us a glass of wine", But the last door separated them. He was in the door and she was outside. Then in the second part, she will question, when the two people are dancing, questioning "you have told me that you have not achieved legalization within five years". She remained awake and dared to defy. Dissatisfied with being stopped at the manor and not allowed to go out. Because she felt that "this has to stop", "I want to leave you with the child", "I can't have any more children for you", she decided to have an abortion alone. After being slapped by Mike she would say "I don't have any love for you now, I never thought this would happen". Then with the help of Mike's sister, he decided to go alone.

For such a woman, no matter how deep her feelings are, she will not let her clear thinking be destroyed. She has a strong ego that is not lost to any man. And if there is doubt or dissatisfaction, she will say and do it. Therefore, in the end, the separation of the two people is inevitable.

...If the bride he married for the first time hadn't been killed by the bomb and stayed by his side in the end, the result might have been different.

Finally, after reading the Godfather, I am more interested in the nation of Italy. Think about it, from the age of navigation to the Renaissance, this nation also has a glorious and splendid civilization. In terms of character, it has the romantic enthusiasm of the West, but also attaches great importance to the characteristics of family and family like our Chinese nation. Rome, Florence, Sicily, Mediterranean style, Italian opera, Italian food that suits my taste, including the classic Mafia dress in the movie Bib suit, especially the vest and bib suit worn by Mike's brother in the first movie, too sexy now...
