The Godfather is a gangster film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. It was released in the United States on March 24, 1972, and has since been released and even re-screened in various countries because of the good response.
Adapted from the novel of the same name by renowned author Mario Puzo, the film tells the story of the development of the gangster family led by Vito Don Corleone and how Corleone's youngest son, Mike, succeeded his father as the leader of the gang. In 1973, the film won the 45th Academy Awards for Best Film, and the actor in it was also awarded the Oscar for Best Actor because of this film, which can be described as fame and fortune.
The movie "The Godfather" portrays the rise and fall of a family, and also records the growth of a person. The year 1945 was an important day for both the world and the Corleone family. In the world, one of the world's most brutal and widespread wars has just ended, and in the Corleone family, there is also a big thing happening - the young daughter of the gang boss Corleone is married, and Vito Corleone, who has always loved her daughter, personally married her.
After the daughter got married, the next gang boss was also on the agenda. Vito Corleone has four children, the younger daughter is married, the eldest son is lustful but very capable, the old father has the heart to let him take over his career, and the eldest son is indeed the father's right-hand man.
The second son is named Sonny, who is kind and honest, but he is very snug and incapable of working; the third son is called Mike, he is a determined and promising young man, who has just finished World War II and returned from the battlefield, and he has no intention of accepting his father's career, because he still has a grander dream.
Although Vito Corleone is engaged in illegal activities, he has his own bottom line, that is, he will never sell drugs.
Unwilling to cooperate with the big drug lord, on Christmas Eve, Vito Corleone was assassinated and shot in the hospital. In front of his father's hospital bed, Sonny, who has always regarded everything as plain, looks at his weak father, is angry, and vows to avenge his father. However, he had no corresponding ability and could only curse blindly.
Mike is a brave and resourceful young man who watches his father assassinated, and like his brother, he is determined to take revenge. He paid for the hospital and managed to shoot and kill his father. After the success of the operation, Mike was undoubtedly chased by the police, so Mike fled to Sicily, where he married and had children and lived a happy life.
However, the smoke and war are far from over, although the life in Sicily is very good, but Mike has not forgotten his identity, he still wants to avenge the family and get everything that should belong to him. Later, Mike returns to his homeland, where his father passes on the position of godfather to his most beloved and beloved youngest son.
After Mike became a godfather, he began to fight against the drug lords, vowing to die to avenge his brother Sonny. In the end, he finally succeeded.
This is the end of the movie, it's a movie about dreams and adventures, it's a movie about politics and society, and it's a movie about human nature.
There is a point in this movie that he is about society, since the ancient hero came out of the teenager, Mike showed his bravery, vision and tenacity from an early age. As the son of the old godfather, Mike can fully enjoy his success and easily have everything his father gave him, but Mike did not make such a choice, but continued to move upwards with his own efforts.
In the dangerous battlefield of World War II, Mike did not flinch in the slightest, but chose to continue to move forward, in such a dangerous battlefield, Mike still triumphantly returned, which also shows his courage and strategy. However, as time passed, his experiences increased, and many things changed dramatically.
Mike used to be so thoughtful and gentle to his parents, to his brother and sister, but when he went through a thousand sails and regained his high position, all he saw in his eyes was indifference. To what extent does time and experience change a person?
And for the godfather, there is good and evil in this world, we say that we should never use good and evil to easily evaluate a person, the old godfather and the government are working against each other, privately operating illegal business, and often colluding with the navy and other people, seemingly threatening social stability of bad people.
But such a bad man also has justice in his heart. Although Vito Corleone seems to be a fierce god and a smuggling business, he has never oppressed the local people, and even on the contrary, he is also the protector of the people, often helping them solve some crises, even providing them with financial help, and never selling drugs, risking his life for this.
Human nature is diverse and complex. For something, a sunny, ambitious teenager can become ruthless; a seemingly weak man can lay down his life. The brilliance of human nature is that.
