Let's see what the godfather is saying.

Explain the main characters first:

Old godfather Vito:

Originally, he was a determined and simple Italian youth. The boy lived in Sicily, and his father died at the hands of the mafia. Later, he fled to America and wanted to live an ordinary life. He worked in a cake shop, but his job was taken away by a gangster's nephew. Later, he established the mafia empire and became the godfather of the mafia. Being a gentleman has its own awesome majesty.

Sonny:

Vito's eldest son, brother of Fredo and Michael, is passionate and fierce. But working hard for the family business. Because my sister had many problems with her brother-in-law Carol because of domestic violence, she was betrayed by her brother-in-law, fell into the trap of the bassini family at the toll booth and was shot.

Michael Corleone:

Vito's youngest son inherited his father's calm, calm, intelligent and strong personality. Although smart and capable, he has no interest in the family's "career". He is a college student and a good young man.

Start talking about this movie:

Starting with Vito's experience in The Godfather II:

When the old godfather Vito was very young, his father was killed because he offended the local mafia, and his brother and father were also killed by the mafia. The mafia didn't let him go, and a wanted order was issued for him in the local area. Vito fled to a small town in America alone. There are several local ruffians in the town who often bully local businessmen, but the businessmen dare not tell. One day, they came to Vito's shop. Because the gangster's relatives took a fancy to the shop, they asked the boss to move out. Vito lost his job. Vito bought his wife her favorite pear when she got home.

Vito once said that even if the scenery outside is infinite, you should be kind to your family when you get home. This is also one of the themes throughout the film. No matter what position, home is the most important.

After losing their jobs, Vito, Clemenza and Tessio started stealing and selling things. They each got 600 yuan, but the local ruffians found Vito and asked them to give him 200 yuan, or they would call the police.

Vito went back to discuss with Clemenza, and then asked Clemenza and Tessio to give him fifty dollars each, so that he could solve the problem. Vito knows this local ruffian very well. In order to prevent future trouble, Vito killed the gangster.

This move won the trust and respect of Tessio and Clemenza and started their own lives. With the help of Tessio and Clemenza, Vito soon had his own small-scale underworld forces. Vito has a lot of brains. He not only does not bully the weak, but also actively helps those who are displaced.

Vito became the most prestigious godfather in the local area, and at the same time, he also taught us the way men behave.

Back to godfather I

In the first act of the film, Bonasala, the owner and businessman of funeral parlour, asks Vito for help at his daughter's wedding. Sicilian won't refuse any request on her daughter's wedding day. Therefore, on this special day, Corleone will unconditionally agree to all requests for help, including Bonasera.

Then deal with the unfair treatment of the funeral home owner, help the cake shop son-in-law immigrate, and help the star adopted son get the ideal movie role from movie mogul.

Here, the old godfather Vito's means, principles and sense of justice are vividly displayed.

In the conversation with Sollozzo, the drug Lord, the godfather taught his own principles and resolutely rejected Sollozzo's request in the face of huge interests.

Vito rejected Sollozzo's request, which aggravated the contradiction with several other mafia families in new york. On Christmas Eve, Sollozzo kidnapped the godfather's godson Tom and sent someone to assassinate him. Godfather was shot and admitted to hospital. Sollozzo asked Tom to try to get Sonny to agree to the drug deal and renegotiate.

Never let your enemies know what you are thinking, and further establish the image of the godfather as a firm and wise man. Next, we should complete the succession of the first generation godfather and the second generation godfather.

Mike went to the hospital to visit his father. He found that the bodyguard had been bought, and the police were in cahoots with Sollozzo. The contradiction between the two families is explosive. Mike came up with a plan to lure Sollozzo to negotiate with the sheriff. In a small restaurant, Mike killed Sollozzo and the sheriff with a pistol hidden in the toilet beforehand.

Mike fled to Sicily, while the vendetta between mafia families in new york became more and more fierce. Sonny was betrayed by Connie's husband, Carol, and was badly beaten. The godfather came back from injury and arranged family reconciliation.

After Sonny's death, in order to get Michael back safely, the godfather arranged such a truce meeting of the five family giants, hoping for peace. At this meeting, the overall situation of the godfather was reflected. Unlike Sonny, he only knows revenge and letting go of hatred. The most impressive picture of this meeting is that he firmly showed his bottom line, that is, family. If Michael had an accident, he would never stop. This boldness is enough to shock people.

Mike returned to new york on 195 1 and married his ex-girlfriend Kay. The old godfather passed on the position of family leader to Mike.

There is also a picture of him teasing his grandson, which gives people a feeling of family happiness. Show grandpa's love for his grandson and gentleness for his family. He grows tomatoes and deals in peppers. During this time, he is the happiest. This also expresses the importance of family in his heart.

After the godfather died, Mike began a long-simmering revenge. He sent people to assassinate the leaders of two other rival families and personally killed fabrizio, who killed his ex-wife. At the same time, he ordered someone to kill Carlo and avenge Sonny.

All the enemies were cut off. Connie rushed into the house because her husband was killed and tore at Mike crazily. Mike coldly ordered Connie to be sent to the madhouse.

He has become the godfather of a new generation.

And he also learned from his father that men have to take on a lot, take on more responsibilities, and pay attention to their families no matter what position they are in.
