Times have changed, but love remains the same

"Trust me, I know I have the power to make a difference," Mike told Kay. He expected Kay to recognize him and understand him, but faced with the crisis of trust between him and Kay again and again, as the head of the family, he couldn't say much, let alone explain it thoroughly. The child's miscarriage and Kay's divorce made Mike go further and further with his former self and the self he expected. He went to ask his mother what his father was thinking in his heart. Will he lose his family when he is strong for the sake of his family? Finally, he answered himself: Times have changed. It is true that he is different from his father. He cannot be like his father. His father attaches great importance to the family. Vito once said that a man who does not spend time with his family is not a real man. The father regarded the family as the most important thing, and made the family stronger and stronger; the father reciprocated, respected and helped every ordinary person, and thus won the trust of his friends and the respect of everyone. As for Mike, he regards interests as a family bond. He does not trust Tom. This brother who has always been loyal to him was finally ridiculed when he tried to persuade him; he said to his own brother: You don't It was my brother, not my friend, who finally killed him on a cool winter day; he loved Kai and the child, but after that there were endless lies and indifference. Looking at Mike's pair of eyes, you can know how much he has endured. From the previous look like a torch to the last indifference without any emotion, you can feel the height is very cold, but what can you do? He may have had love, but he was still cruel. On that golden afternoon, he stared at those eyes that had seen countless blood drippings, and shut his former wife out of the door without emotion.

    From "The Godfather 1" to "The Godfather 2," Coppola used the lens to record the transfer of power between the two generations of the godfather, and also recorded the struggle history of the second generation "Godfather" Al Pacino from a boy to a man. Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Coppola's shots include two generations and three godfathers in total. They are a collection of typical American gangster movies.

    It wasn't until the last scene that I realized that "The Godfather 2" was filmed in the 1970s: an era when the struggle ended and the patriarchy returned. Mike had a plan for himself. He wanted to get rid of the family's sinful business, but he finally became the incarnation of sin. The power of the gang is established in the corner of the capitalist social power failure, but the old Corion's chivalrous bones are no longer there, and the patriarchy, as a copy of social power, has revealed its hideous features.
