What values ​​do the "Godfather" films try to convey? It tells us how to follow a moral choice, how is this moral defined? It is definitely not defined by the official, legal, religious, financial, etc., because the external relationship is too complicated, and when it comes to power and capital enclosure, there is no guarantee that it is a fair way of definition, so ultimately it must be defined from the heart. , that is, to remove all external constraints, ask yourself, what should you do now?

We know that Godfather I was originally from a poor child. Due to the threat of the Italian Mafia, his livelihood was not guaranteed. Under the black gang extortion, the eldest son could not earn the milk powder money. The family lived hard and was forced to find a way to live. , killed the local mafia and made himself the top mafia, who can object to what is wrong with his actions? In the face of extreme violence and oppression, there is no other way than violent resistance. Guns can kill people and save people.

Let's look at Godfather I's use of his body to block bullets in order to save his "abandoned son". We all know that Godfather I was extremely important to the whole family, especially at that critical moment, but he still chose to sacrifice his life to save him." Abandoned son", an eldest son who was not well developed due to difficult growth conditions in his early years, Godfather I could not give up on him, Godfather I was the father of the eldest son, a moral father who did the most human thing.

The next Godfather II, originally hoped to live a legal life, and even joined the army for national merit, but seeing his father was attacked and nearly killed, the eldest brother had a bad mind, the second brother wanted to inherit the business, as a son, as a family member, he, How can we resist our mission, how can we refuse our conscience, and how can we abandon our family? So he took the risk of shooting the drug king and the sheriff. In the face of the double oppression from the underworld and the white, violent resistance is the only solution.

Let’s talk about the second brother. When he saw his sister being abused by his brother-in-law, he didn’t say a word. He ignored the risk of being shot by the enemy and rushed over to help his sister, but he was killed in the middle. Illegal matters, but risked being shot, so I resumed violence against the hostile elements...

No matter what material is, it will pass away due to movement. Today is in my hand, tomorrow is in your hand, and the day after tomorrow is in his hand. It has no eternal value, but family, love and friendship are more and more dazzling due to the influence of years. Shiny and brilliant ideas that are in line with the brilliance of human nature are worth talking about. Only when we stick to these precious emotions will we feel that this life is not in vain when we get old.
