Unfortunately, he's Mike Corleone

I watched three in three days. To be honest, the characters in the plot conspire to betray these. When I read it, I didn't really understand or even remember the name of the person. I was a little blind. It's all about the plot analysis after watching the movie. Although it was a gangster-themed movie, I was completely immersed in Mike's helplessness. Give up the helplessness of having to go down this road, the helplessness of murdering crimes, the helplessness of calculating and conspiracy, the helplessness of being a ruthless brother, and even the helplessness of losing family members and dying alone.

He was also a dreamer! With his own plans and future, Mike in the first part is still a young boy with stars in his eyes, dreams and love. Since taking the seat of godfather, his eyes have been more gloomy. He loves himself loves his dreams loves Kay. But he loved his family more, and he had to give up on himself. However, Mike spent his life defending the family's delusions of whitewashing the Corleone family, until the end was in vain. His family also left him. I cried today when I saw the despair of Mary being shot and Mike screaming. I actually cried while watching a gangster movie. Although the main storyline is not very clear, the despair at this time is really empathetic.

Mike is really annoying. After watching the three, the more feeling is watching Mike go from the world of freedom and dream to the abyss of loneliness and helplessness step by step.

Yesterday, I saw a film review, "In the final analysis, after people have solved their food and clothing, what they need most is relationships. If you can't build relationships with people, what's the use of being high and powerful?" This sentence touched me very much. But Mike is just a person who can't help himself. He has no choice. Who made him Mike Corleone?

Finally, I have to say that young Al Pacino is really handsome!

    (8/10) American audiences criticized this work too harshly, but compared to the previous two, it does lack the epic feel of the great era. According to the original script, the three-generation godfather Vincent would go into the drug trafficking industry and be killed by the Colombian police. I don’t know if the aborted "Godfather 4" failed to be filmed, whether it was luck or misfortune...

    I wanted to give two stars...One star to Kay, but I didn't expect it to be beautiful when he was old. As for the film, I want to say that I can't watch it. Maybe it's because 3 and 1, 2 are not consistent and discordant.

The Godfather: Part III quotes

  • Archbishop Gilday: It seems in today's world the power to absolve debt is greater than the power of forgiveness.

  • B.J. Harrison: [about the pope; before the opera] The Pope's doing exactly what you said he'd do, he's cleaning house.

    Michael Corleone: He should be careful. It's dangerous to be an honest man.
