would like to discuss "The Godfather" with you today. Both novels and movies have super high ratings, and the three movies are almost at the same level. There is no unfinished situation. That is, the third movie of Godfather did not win an Oscar, and both the first and second movies won Oscars. prize. The author watched the first part of the novel and then completed all the movies of the godfather. The first part of the
novel has more content than the movie, involving Vito Corleone’s family history, but the first part of the movie does not involve this, and is mainly told in the second part. The novel is much more detailed than the movie. Many details have been deleted from the movie. Some less important plots and characters have been deleted from the movie. The author saw a bullet screen while watching the movie and said that the movie was deleted seriously. , The previous uncut version is more than ten hours per movie. Because I read the first novel, it may be easier to understand when watching a movie.
When the author read the novel, in the first book, the deepest feeling was love. It's the love between Mike and Kaihe and the Sicilian beauty. I always call her the Sicilian beauty because I can't remember her name. The author thinks that Mike and the Sicilian beauty are the most primitive desire. The relationship between him and Kai is full of rationality, and he still loves Kai after reason. At that time, it was love at first sight with the Sicilian beauties. Their love story was also in line with the local legend and tradition. The love came fiercely, but it went quickly, because the Sicilian beauties were quickly killed and Mike returned to the United States. Starting to take over the family, in fact, the whole family was also forced, because Vito Corleone was already a little weak at this time, and the eldest brother was framed to death. The second brother had no ability to take over. If Mike did not take over, the whole family would be destroyed. But at this time I doubted Mike’s love for Kai, because he returned to the United States and has not contacted Kai for a year. When Kai was hiding in Sicily, Kai kept thinking about him. He went to Mike’s home many times, Mike’s mother. I like Kai very much. There are quite a lot of mother roles in the novel, but very few in the movie.
Many people think that Mike and Sicilian Americans are the best match, because Sicilian Americans are well aware of Sicilian traditions, will not interfere, will not intervene, will not question Kay Mike's handling of family matters, but Kay has accepted the United States since childhood. She could not accept Mike's involvement in the crime. So later Kay left Mike. Many people don't like Kay in the movie, but I understand Kay's approach. Kay has always been in love with Mike. In the novel, Kay left after Connie's husband was killed by Mike, but Tom Harkin persuaded Kay to come back. Mike told Kay that he had never compromised, only Kay. He said Kay was his Tang. At this moment, I feel that Mike loves Kay deeply.
Mike was unwilling to take over the family business at the beginning. Although his father had arrangements for him, he resolutely joined the army and had his own pursuits. He did not want to be involved in gangsters, but later for the family, he had to accept to be Tang, but He originally planned to legitimize his family when he took over. He has been devoted to this matter almost all his life. In order to clean up, he had to go up and get in touch with higher-level things. Trade money for status and fame. The higher he goes in this process, the darker he feels he is exposed to. Even politics, the highest level of politics, and even the pope are full of darkness in this process. They are like a group of people. Venomous snake.
The author doesn't have a great appreciation for this kind of work that is almost enshrined. He just thinks it is a very good work, but the others do not have much feeling. Perhaps because the author was born dull, Vito Corleone’s family history was compared with Mike’s process. Mike finally talked to his father’s old friend (also a Don). They received love and respect, and Mike received it. Only betrayal and incomprehension. His father died shortly after he took over the family business. He only learned his father's way of handling things, but there are some things he must have not learned, because Vito Corleone received respect, so many people would not betray him. Mike protects the family and does not want to be harmed in the family. The eldest brother Sonny died, and he killed Connie's husband because the second brother betrayed him. Although he forgave him later, Mike did not allow his family to have hidden dangers, so he ordered the killing. Up his brother.
must have the opportunity to read the novel of "The Godfather" as well. There will be many detailed supplements to the movie, which will definitely be more detailed. That's it for today's article.
