Revisiting "The Godfather III", or "The Death of Mike Corleone" this time, the biggest shock is still its ending - the elderly second-generation godfather sat on a rattan chair in the courtyard of his hometown of Sicily, recalling his relationship with The scene where the three most important women in life dance and then leave this world.
I don't know how the second generation godfather feels at this time?
From the ending point of view, the second-generation godfather can also be regarded as "enjoying his old age" and is older than his hometown. However, judging from the last memories of the second generation godfather, the three beloved women in his life, his daughter and his first wife all left this world early because of being involved in his gang career, and his second wife also lost his life because of his career. chose to leave him. With such an ending, can the second-generation godfather feel happy in his heart?
The ending of "The Godfather III" is one of the best endings of the movie in my opinion, and after watching it this time, I have a deeper understanding of why it can be so shocking.
The memory of the second generation godfather before his death is the best memory in his life, because the people in the memory are the most important existence in his long life.
Everyone has someone they value.
When you understand that life will return one day, you should know how to cherish every minute and second of getting along with people you value, and don’t be stingy with your love, so that the time that has passed has meaning.
How short life is, the world is so big. Only by recognizing what is most important can we look back in the future without regrets.
The reason why the "Godfather" trilogy is so successful is not only due to the wonderful storyline, skilled performers, and gripping soundtrack, but also the director's credit is very important.
The director insisted that Mike must confess in the third installment.
Although Al Pacino, who played Mike, held an objection, at the insistence of the director, he still exerted his professional qualities as a performer, and shaped the changes that took place in Mike's heart after experiencing the storm into a real three-dimensional.
It can be said that it is the director's insistence that makes this film even greater.
At the heart of The Godfather's life, existence, and living are family, clan, and social relationships, all connected through love, responsibility, and pursuit.
And this is exactly how humans exist in this world!
That's why it's so moving, and Mike's death at the end of the film is so thought-provoking.
People live a short life in this world, and in the end, they can't take anything with them. They can only hurriedly recall their long life before dying.
At this time, you often know what is most important without thinking!
If you know what is most important from the beginning, and use it as the meaning of life, you can at least recall it for a while at the end.
The theme and plot trend of the movie "The Godfather" is full of the director's thinking about life, and he has to admire his persistence. This kind of thinking is also what the director wants to express in the film. The director knows what he wants.
It is worth mentioning that the director used many family members as actors to play the characters in the film. Maybe the director wants to keep the family he values in his favorite movies, which is touching.
The director's emphasis on family is also reflected in the film.
These kinds of details make people see the creator's thinking about life hidden behind a great work.
A great movie resonates with people. And the birth of such a movie means that someone is the first to tell their story.
Although movies can't really prolong human lifespan, isn't the length of life just measured by time?
How long is a person's life, and how is it measured? Is it lifespan? No; is it an experience? It doesn't seem accurate either; is it a reflection on life? Not quite.
If you want to ask the answer in your heart now, you will say: in the limited length of life, to explore, to experience, to feel, to think, to spend more time on what really matters, because everything is Will turn into dust, only living in the present to die is real!
