Movies as a series are indeed different from separate ones. When I watch "The Godfather 2" alone, I may not have a high evaluation because I can't understand it and the rhythm is super slow. Three hours and twenty minutes is really long! Even saw and learned a new word "intermission" in a movie for the first time, referring to interval.

The film but the timeline is that of its predecessor, The Godfather, before and after, a cross narrative that complements the early youth of the first generation of Godfathers, and primarily writes about this phase of the second generation of Godfathers after they took power . The second-generation godfather is capable, but in my opinion, he is inferior to his father. His methods are relatively ruthless, but he may not be so perfect, or reveal flaws. After all, the first-generation godfather was assassinated on the street, and he was at home. In the end, the relationship with the family, including the wife, including the elder brothers and sisters, was not handled very well, and there were obvious deficiencies.

Compared with the previous work, after watching it, I at least understand that they are the heads of the Italian Mafia in the United States. The end of the film is more interesting, and watching this series of films really makes me suspect that something will happen to every frame, and I am frightened.

Okay, I didn't expect that the number of words was exceeded in the end, but this really can't be regarded as a film review. It can only be said that the film is too long, and the idea of ​​​​like a complaint can be written for a long time. His father originally came out of Italy after his family was destroyed, but later he could be regarded as a kind and friendly gang leader, tsk tsk (but he directly and meticulously killed the head who received protection fees on the street when he was young, really bold attentive). The historical nodes that appear in the movie can also be talked about, the liberation of Cuba and the US declaration of war on Japan during World War II. It was at this time that the second generation godfather went to join the navy and got the Navy Cross (a small note, he told his family that it was his father's birthday when he joined the army, and he was still a college student at the time, and the crew seemed to specially invite him back in The first film of the dead big brother, but there is no footage of his father, that is because he is not needed or not invited), he is different from the big brother, he has a country in his heart, maybe this will make him the second generation godfather. A generation of godfathers with different endings and family orientations.

Okay, let’s talk about this first, I definitely want to change it, but maybe I’m too lazy to change it, there is still a third part to watch...
