Don’t look back, follow the rules of the world

It is said that the first and last three episodes of "The Godfather" were shot for 18 years, and the reviews on this book and this movie are already full of sweat. The classics of gangster movies and Jianghu movies should be none other than it-the recent "Infernal Affairs" seems to have a tendency to rafters. The fascinating story is due to the charm of the original book. The music in it is now spread more than the movie itself. I can only talk about the performance of the actors. The old godfather played by Marlon Brando is always a somewhat inattentive and cynical gentleman style-he no longer needs to use external violence and coercion, his chaotic and unclear voice, every word can be changed The outside world can cause chaos in the world. This may be the so-called arresting place of the old man-everything is under control. He doesn't even need someone's return, as long as others recognize him as the godfather and accept his friendship. This is entirely the mentality of a strong person, the pinnacle of self-realization. In this regard, it is not difficult for us to understand why so many so-called successful people/wealth elites in today's world like to show them in a friendly and demonstrative way. Men just need people to worship as gods. For this illusion, they do everything they can to. I still like Bill Gates’ answer, why am I so rich? Perhaps, it is the luck that God gave me. Therefore, I think Marlon Brando's performance is too real, maybe this is his true color. Mike, played by Pacino, has grown from an innocent war hero and good young man to a vicious and sinister new godfather, and his performance is also very hierarchical. When he watched the false condolences of other gang bosses coldly at the funeral of the old godfather, his sullen eyes seemed to be chilling-he had already decided, everything is under control, everything can't be turned back, and everything should be done in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes. I also saw this look in Fa Ge's "Shanghai Beach". Perhaps, when a man decided to unscrupulously become the strongest in the world of the weak and the strong, he approached the man's primitive animal nature.

    Good? ! I think it's so so, but it doesn't mean much.

    "Because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."

The Godfather quotes

  • Sonny: Hey, whaddya gonna do, nice college boy, eh? Didn't want to get mixed up in the Family business, huh? Now you wanna gun down a police captain. Why? Because he slapped ya in the face a little bit? Hah? What do you think this is the Army, where you shoot 'em a mile away? You've gotta get up close like this and - bada-BING! - you blow their brains all over your nice Ivy League suit. C'mere...

    [kisses Michael's head]

    Michael: Sonny...

    Sonny: You're taking this very personal. Tom, this is business and this man is taking it very, very personal.

  • Sollozzo: I don't like violence, Tom. I'm a businessman; blood is a big expense.
