The family is only when people are there. The old godfather relies on prestige to guard the family, and Mike relies on majesty, so betrayal is never allowed. When a person is afraid of you, he will subconsciously protect himself and make a way out for himself. The old godfather taught Mike how to establish prestige and how to calmly confront the enemy, but ignored the education of family and affection. Mike is also very lonely. He hopes his family and people can understand what he has done. But he ignored that people are gone. What is the point of guarding this family? The old godfather is because of his family, because the people who worked for him, in order to protect them, must maintain the status of the Corleone family. Allow them to live a safe and happy life, while Mike is for his own safety, for the Corleone family, he will never allow betrayal, only by getting rid of them will he be safe. I really feel sorry for Mike. His loneliness is destined, and only he can feel the pain. Both are very classic, man and man. Worth pondering.

    8.8 is much more compact than the first one, and the story development and shots are also more exciting. The nostalgia for the first generation of godfathers in the yellow tone is very strong, and the cross-development of plot contrasts also allows the audience to see the prosperity and decline of a family. When he chose a career and broke with his family, Mike sat there alone, full of sadness, an ironic contrast to his father's family prosperity. Nearly three and a half hours is a bit too long, but it looks pretty good under the tight plot

    From the beginning to the end, it is a comparison of the sadistic heart. The "Corleone family" was mistakenly referred to as the "Corleone Criminal Organization" in the era under Mike's leadership, and the insults were the politicians who used to fight fiercely when the father was alive. Is this very obscure? One can at least smile, and the other is cold-blooded and low in EQ. There is no doubt that the predecessors are inferior to the career. However, the deterrence of the younger generations only comes from reason, and the man who balances the family and the power is truly wise.
