Times have changed. . .

I watched Godfather 2 again last night and saw it at 3 am. I remember the first time I watched it, because of the plots of the old and new Godfathers, I didn't quite understand it. This time I finally got the context clear. . .

The Kryon family has internal and external troubles. The new godfather was almost assassinated in his own home. The plot is confusing. Is it an internal rape or an external trouble? In the end, Mike found out everything, but also lost his family, his mother died, his wife divorced, and he killed his own brother in the lake. Only his sister came back to help him with the housework after his mother went. . . I think the theme explained throughout the article is the departure of the traditions of the Italian mafia. Those beliefs, family, mutual respect, helping others, etc., which were cherished by the older generation, have been gradually abandoned in the new era. The new godfather must adopt new methods in order to maintain the status of the Kryon family. . . The old godfather gains respect by helping others, and the new godfather can only assassinate, intimidate his family, and frame dignitaries. . . The old godfather often said: "I will reason with him." The new godfather doesn't say anything anymore, just sits indifferently and gives orders. . . The old generation of mafia always has a bit of warmth, and the methods are not so cruel. The new generation of mafia, in the words of Mike to Tom: "You know, our people are all businessmen, and their loyalty is based on that. Basically, I learned a little bit from my dad. Try to think about the people around you. What do you think? On the basis of business, everything is possible..." In essence, there is no difference, but it is no longer tender. After tearing off the veil, everything is more buiness. . .


The young godfather had a premonition that he would lose his family. He was filled with confusion. He came to the elderly mother and asked his father what he thought. . "But besides being strong for his family, is it possible for him to lose it?", "But you will never lose your family", so he understood, "Times are changing", in the old godfather's In this era, the Mafia does not have to worry about losing his family. The only thing he has to do is to work hard to make the family better and take care of more family members. . . In the era of the young godfather, he not only needed to worry about the plot and betrayal of Jewish gangs and rapes from outside, but also worry about losing his family. . . So the following scene appeared. . .



Mike: Kay, after this period of time, you will feel differently, you will be happy that I stopped you now, I know, I know you blame me for losing a baby, yes, I know what that means to you , I will make up for you, Kay, I swear I will make up for you, I will change, I will change, I know I have the ability to change, then you can forget this miscarriage, we will have another child, Continue to live together, you and I will grow old together, we will go on...

Kay: (shaking head), Ou, Mike, your eyes are blind, it is not a miscarriage, it is abortion, abortion, just like our marriage, An unholy and evil thing, I don’t want your son, Mike, I won’t have another son for you, it’s an abortion, Mike, that’s a son, a son, and I killed him because it must end. , I know it’s all over now, I knew it then, there’s no way, Mike, you will never forgive me, not even this Sicilian tradition that has lasted for two thousand years,

Mike: (There is a fierce light in the eyes, like Leopard rushed up and slapped Kai hard), you are not allowed to take my child away. . .



Then there was the next scene. Kay secretly ran to see his child. When Mike found out, he indifferently closed the door in front of her. . .



Everything is because the times have changed. . .

    It's harder to make a fortune and keep home. The cross-editing of the two generations of godfathers is even more tense, and good dramas are staged randomly. The heroic Widow and the tragic Mike, the favorite ending of film history, the loneliness and helplessness that will move every time you look at it, the personal will and the great sense of destiny. Love this one more, and that silk suit. 4K restoration of the North Film Festival Archives.
