Godfathers - I'd rather be in the kitchen talking and laughing if I could

The green light can wait for a second time, and life will never start again. There may not be a second unforgettable family in this world - the Corleone family. "The Godfather" is great, and so are the godfathers.

Godfather 1: Everyone is a protector and a protected person. The leader of a territory protects the inhabitants of a territory, a state protects the subjects of a state, and members of the Corleone family also protect the interests of the family. And vice versa. Only when the whole is complete can the parts be safe. It is difficult to have eggs under the nest. The first generation of godfathers relied on making extensive friends, using gangster methods to help people solve problems and get favors, and when it was difficult to be a godfather, those favors came in handy. This is the protector and the protected.

In addition, because the godfather went to the Vatican to meet the "godfather", I feel that there will be some religious beliefs. When a person's deep moral foundation is destroyed and his belief collapses, what should a person do? Who will come to justify the wrongs committed in your heart? Who can rescue what is trapped in the heart?

Godfather 2: God and the devil in everyone. Killing and tranquility are two states in our inner world. No one likes a life of fighting and killing and perilous. And did the "we" who participated in the killing in order to survive became the executioner in this killing? Killing is for tranquility, and conversely speaking, it may become that tranquility is an excuse for killing. Every time a decision is made, there seems to be a legitimate reason, but who can deny that it is not an excuse?

Mike gave the order to kill the second brother, as if from the perspective of protecting the family, but Mike still regretted killing his father and mother's son in the end.

The incestuous love between Vincent and Mary is full of human struggles.

Godfather 3: Trade-offs in a growing world. Vincent finally decided to go the Godfather way, which many would feel was for entitlement. But it is more of a responsibility, a mission in life. Sometimes for a certain group, love can only take second place. Vincent has more people to protect, and if he gives up the blessing of the status of godfather, the ending will definitely put the lives of other family members except Mary in danger. And Mike's ending, just like a life, after all, the bamboo basket is empty. No matter what you chose in the first place, it all fell into place in the end.

    It is one grade worse than one or two, but it can still be regarded as a good film. The exploration of the godfather's destiny is still passing, but the slogan of sacrificing the purest role is really vulgar... In fact, it is the shortest in the trilogy, because the narrative is not compact enough, but it feels the most verbose. The metaphor of the opera scene is so-so~

    Anthony's Sicilian folk songs are great. The transformation of the third-generation godfather Vincent's personality feels abrupt. This episode still has a lot of people dead. It ends with a lot of people’s deaths. It ends with memories. There are many ways to die, the poisoned hanged shot, the knife stabbed to death, and the glasses... Al Pacino is really old and yellow. She is so handsome Sofia Coppola, the director's daughter, and the daughter inherited her father's business.
