After sending away Johnny Fangting, the old godfather turned to to ask Tom, here, let's analyze why the old godfather did not prevent his daughter from marrying Kalo, and why he did not let Kalo participate in family affairs, first of all, in the daughter's marriage, it can be seen from the film that the old godfather's way of parenting: equality and respect, will not interfere too much in the love and mate choice freedom of adult children, just like the combination of Mike and Kay, he will not ask too much, and Carlo does not have any big problems at this time, although there is a gambling vice, But no one is perfect, and they all have more or less shortcomings, which is beyond reproach. The point is on why they are prevented from participating in family affairs. First of all, the common misconception: the old godfather saw that Kalo was unreliable and would defect in the future. This is a bit of a pre-recognition, with the plot behind to think of the present, we see, Poly defected, Taisio also rebelled, and even Fredo later also defected, did not the old godfather see it in advance? Therefore, not allowing Kara to participate in family affairs has nothing to do with the rebellion, which is a process driven by events. There is no reason to recruit a new son-in-law who has just gotten married to be wary of him rebelling, which is unreasonable. Everyone may mutiny, the old godfather looks at people accurately in the way of taming people, when I know you will rebel because of what, I will try to avoid it, if it really goes to the area where you may defect, I will prevent it in advance, this in the plot of the later Taiso rebellion, the old godfather reflects it very clearly, "Godfather 2" Mike in the family defense is more to strengthen this point, with heavy money to bind subordinates to prevent rebellion, to prevent a person from defecting is not without him, but how to use him.
Second, let's look at a few people. First of all, as a traditional Italian, the funeralist's attitude towards his daughter's chastity is greater than his daughter's life, and Vido will not be an exception. Then we look at the endings of several traditional Sicilian women, Tom's widow, widow, Sonny's third son, widow. In The Godfather 2, more than a decade after Sonny's death, Dusilla still lives with the Corleone family. In the traditional Sicilian concept, there is only a widow, not a remarriage, which is why when Mike was ready to kill Kallo, he comforted Kalo and said this sentence,--- and why after Mike killed Kalo, Connie said those words,--- You killed Kalo and considered my future? It is not because she loves Carlo, but because Carlo is gone, she is going to be widowed at a young age, so in the next eight years, in order to fight against the family revenge on Mike, she did two things, no matter the child did not care about the family, picking up men everywhere, taking care of the family and chastity is the traditional Sicilian concept, the basic requirements for women, is the two moral bottom lines that Sicilian women must abide by. Only one person in the Godfather trilogy has remarried, the American Kay Adams, this is an exception, so the old godfather prevented Carlo from participating in family affairs, is considering his daughter's life, Karao is involved in family affairs, what will happen to his daughter, it can also be determined that at the end of Godfather 1, the old godfather did not want to kill Karalo at all, and would not destroy another child for the sake of the child who had died.
Furthermore, Mike prevents Vincent from having a relationship with Mindy for the same reason that the old godfather prevented Carlo from participating in family affairs, all for the safety of his daughter. Mafia industry, when you choose to have the consciousness of being assassinated at any time, your family will also be implicated by the assassination against you, on the contrary, the old godfather and Mike treat their daughters with the same attitude, other non-dangerous industries can be, but can not be a mafia, the old godfather to prevent Carlo from participating in family affairs, is equivalent to preventing Carlo from becoming a mafia. Therefore, the old godfather's attitude towards Carlo cannot find the reason from Carlo, but from his family and his daughter, and he attaches great importance to this, reminding Tom at the same time, deliberately turning his head to instruct the future patriarch Sonny, which paves the way for the plot of Sonny's rejection of Carlo later. Subsequently, when Tom offered to meet with Sollozzo, the old godfather put the matter of his godson first, and asked Tom to negotiate with the movie tycoon immediately after the wedding, and the surprised Tom did not expect to leave this matter to himself. The old godfather who had ordered everything to come out to his daughter's wedding, at this time Kay had been treated as a fiancée by Mike. The baker, helped by the Corleone family, proudly made a four-tiered extravagant cake for the wedding, after which Tom flew to Los Angeles.
Let's first sort out the background, in the past few years when Tom followed the old godfather to do things, it has always been shrouded in the aura of Don Corleone, usually in contact, the people and things discussed, everyone knows very well who is behind Tom, the last time to Los Angeles to solve Johnny's matter, it was the old godfather who went by himself, this time handed over to Tom, is the old godfather's experience in Tom's negotiations, thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, the Corleone family's power is not so big, the reputation is not loud, this time it is equivalent to Tom's negotiations with strange forces alone, And before Tom leaves, let's take Tom's sentence: 'When we embargo oil on the little devil, It should be thought that the bomb will be thrown' analysis to understand, the reason why it is put here, is the movie tycoon incident, is Tom's empathy for the first time, empathy is not bad, we usually in the education of children, will deliberately guide the child's empathy, so that the child grows up to be more understanding of others, will not bully others, will be a polite and educated person, as another highly educated child in this family, if it is in a civilized society, Tom will be a polite gentleman. Then we look at Tom's first meeting with the movie tycoon, first of all, the contradiction between the movie tycoon and Johnny, Johnny is wrong first, that is, Tom, who represents Johnny's side, is at fault, and Tom, who does not like Johnny himself, has already resisted before the negotiation begins.
Tom's first meeting with the movie tycoon, let's change the description, before the meal with friends, drunken friends caused some damage to the restaurant, when I went to communicate with the owner on behalf of my friends, I proposed a solution hope to be calmed, when the shopkeeper yelled and shouted, my reaction was the same as Tom, I knew we were wrong, we were wrong, this psychology suppressed me not to be able to make too much emotional expression, and this is also the result of Tom's negotiations alone after breaking away from the aura of the old godfather, in contrast, There is no reason to speak of Sonny, he is Tom's extreme, we do not take him as an analysis, look at another, the same highly educated Mike, after the old godfather aura faded, became the patriarch after the first negotiation with Moglin, Mike's request to Mogelin, can be compared to Tom's excessive demand for the movie tycoon, it is simply unreasonable demands, Mogelin is not afraid of the old godfather at this time, the old godfather aura disappears, Mike's negotiation environment is the same as Tom at this time, we look at Mike's performance, Although the result is also the collapse of the talk, but Mike overpowered Moglin's big voice in momentum, let Moglin on his own turf, a look of surprise and inexplicable walking, unreasonable strong three points, I am not afraid of you in the slightest, and mike and Tom's negotiations combined, it has become the old godfather's negotiation in the same situation, the young Victor and the landlord's negotiation, as an outsider to meddle in other people's business,--- Vido and Tom are also at a loss, but Vido can understand the landlord's anger, At the same time, the matter was forcefully negotiated, and the landlord also did not understand who he was, and he negotiated the matter without being decent and unharmed, and then taking out the aura could play a multiplier effect with half the effort, negotiation is not only the art of discourse, but also the way of expression.
As a lawyer, Tom's logic of thinking about the problem is not wrong, but his fatal empathy determines that he is not suitable for the mafia industry, when we analyze our oil embargo on the little devil, the little devil will sneak up on us after the result, generally will make two reactions, one will be biased towards the latter, according to the results to prevent, even if I am wrong first, do not accept your retaliation against me, this is the mafia. The other is Tom, after analyzing the cause, he stays on the cause and can't go over, empathy, combined with the later plot, after Sonny kills Bruno, after analyzing the cause and the possible result, there is no then, wait. After Sonny disturbs the whole situation in New York, after analyzing the causes and consequences, waiting, waiting for the old godfather to solve, in Father 2 it is analyzed that mike's tough attitude towards Hymenros led to the assassination, it is analyzed that mike may ignore Fredo, causing Fredo's defection, will sympathize with Fredo, it is Mike's first betrayal of Pantan curie that will cause the accusation to occur,--- will go to Mike to be dissatisfied. Empathy is everyone,perhaps strong or weak,But when making special decisions at stake in life and death, even the slightest bit of kindness can lead to deviations in decisions, and in order to survive, these people who engage in the mafia must be a cold-blooded animal in a special period, and cannot be swayed by their own good thoughts. Tom must have been a good friend in life, but whether he was in the mafia or in business, his empathy was too deadly.
Then the movie tycoon learned about Don Corleone, and also heard the story of Luca and the band foreman, from the words and deeds of this Walles, it can be seen that this product has some fame and has a certain power in Los Angeles, he invited Tom to his home not to apologize, first invited Tom to his luxurious villa, and then took Tom to see the horse he bought for 600,000 US dollars, just one meaning: Lao Tzu has money, I reject Johnny is purely a personal grudge, the movie does not make money I will not let him star, At the same time, his power in Los Angeles also decided that he would not give in so easily, and he scolded Tom at the dinner table, which was to point to the Corleone family, in which case Tom could only show politeness and cultivation, he was not the kind of person who would tear his face. Although I don't want to, but I can only use the word gray slippery to express, fly back to New York to report to the old godfather, Tom's negotiation, can not be said to fail, can only be too bland, may be another person to talk about this result, but Tom's performance in this process is almost interesting. Then we correct the time, this plot is in front, the horse's head plot is in the back, in the night Tom reported the results of the Hollywood negotiations to the old godfather, the old godfather sank down to think about solving this Walles matter, Tom who had just got off the plane prepared Sollozzo's information, and the horsehead incident was after which the old godfather ordered Clemansha to find someone to do.
So next Tom's description of the drug business, let's not talk about the content, just on Tom's expression and tone, especially eager, I thought Tom was alarmist to broker the business, but combined with Tom's encounter in Hollywood that day, at this time he was more eager to prove something, in line with the emotions he showed.
In the next video we begin to analyze the meeting with Sollozzo and what happened to the assassination of the old godfather.
