A person's behavior and character are determined by his own experience and education; the old godfather developed his family business through hardships and struggles in his life, and considered the inheritance of the family business. He planned to let the eldest inherit his position. The identity of the eldest son is easy to establish a prestige. If the eldest is incompetent, let the second inherit it; and for the third, the old godfather understands that the underworld business is ultimately manipulated by positive people, so he wants the third to enter politics and become a member of parliament; Tom is a military adviser and lawyer. , is in the underworld but has a white identity. At the same time, the old godfather has been emphasizing the importance of family and making brothers harmonious, so that black and white can take care of each other in the future; They can't keep up with the times. Today's opponents are much more alert and fierce. After the old godfather refused business cooperation, he sent a killer who pretended to be different from him to find out. The old godfather was killed, but the old godfather survived after being assassinated. All of this was unexpected by the old godfather; during the training process of the three brothers and Tom, the boss was short-tempered and not careful enough, but he was still reluctant. Can take over the position of the old godfather; the second child is incompetent and pretentious, and has become a waste; why the training process of these two people is flawed or even failed, the old godfather bears the main responsibility, but it is not explained in the play; for the third child, the old godfather Originally planned to let the third child graduate directly from college to go into politics, but the third child decided to lead his own life because of his liberal education and quit school to join the army. The memory at the end of the play shows that the third child is very dissatisfied with the old godfather and Tom's arrangement of his life. From the results, it can be seen that the old godfather did not intervene forcibly. The third child returned from the army and brought his white left girlfriend. He also added the ferocity and blood of a soldier to his liberal character. Although it did not achieve the training goal of the old godfather, it was also The alternative cultivation is successful; only Tom fully standard achieves the cultivation goal of the old godfather;
If the old godfather died directly when he was assassinated, then the boss would still be killed soon after he took over because he acted recklessly and did not listen to Tom's advice, and then the second child would inherit, because of his incompetence and pretentious character, the family would fall directly; The third child can only watch the decline of the family as an outsider, and live a decent life with Bai Zuo's girlfriend;
This should have been a normal process without any accident, but an accident occurred:
The old godfather was shot several times and did not die directly. The eldest took over temporarily and assassinated the son of a rival gang. Because of the bloody and vicious experience of the army, the third directly planned revenge and killed the police and drug dealers who threatened the life of the old godfather and hid them. After that, the eldest lost his life because of his recklessness. The old godfather understood that the second child had no ability to inherit, so he had to hold a meeting of leaders and agreed to share political resources in exchange for the third child to come back innocently, and then gave way to the third child; the third child was educated and mentally Meticulous, and because of his longing for liberalism and full of military blood and ruthless character, he decided to avenge his father, eldest brother, and ex-wife first, and then went to find his ex-girlfriend. The third child did not deceive his ex-girlfriend, but misestimated the time required for the whitewashing industry, which is much longer than five years;
The second child was very dissatisfied that he had to listen to his younger brother's advice, so he wanted to stand up for himself. He knew that after the third child was talking about a big business, he was tempted to think that he could make a windfall that only belonged to him. He helped outsiders, thinking that he was only making the third child lose some money, but the result was that the third child almost lost his life;
The third child's girlfriend, Bai Zuo, saw that the third child had not cleaned up the business for a long time, and lost confidence in the third child. The industry is on the right track, and Bai Zuo's girlfriend also confessed that the child is not an abortion but an abortion. In the culture of the third child, an abortion is tantamount to murder. The family is generous and does not kill his girlfriend and let her go;
The same is true for the exposed second child. The third child does not want to kill his family, so he gives the second child many opportunities until the second child confesses that he is dissatisfied with the third child’s pointing and wants to establish his own business or usurp power. The third child thinks the second child is stupid Harmony threatens the family and himself, and decides to get rid of the second child after the death of his mother;
So far, the second part is over, the old godfather's plan has been completely defeated, and the family business has further developed in the hands of the new godfather and the third child, but the family basically does not exist, and only the sister is left to return to her side; the second child's affairs It also had a psychological impact on the third child. The third child's trust in the people around him was greatly reduced, and there was also some estrangement with Tom.
