The Godfather (Original Movie of the Same Name)

I have read this masterpiece four times. It made me see clearly the structure of this society, at least part of it. We cannot be lambs to be slaughtered, we must learn to say no, and we must resist rather than tolerate the unreasonable...

Every word and sentence tells an ordinary story, but when combined together it is so thrilling and gripping.

The Godfather, the Bible for men, the answer to all questions. Good and evil will always be rewarded. European and American countries have always regarded Christianity as the basic idea of ​​​​maintaining relationships between people. This is somewhat different from Eastern countries that believe in Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. But the core concept remains unchanged, good and evil are relative, and the Sicilian people's strict adherence to the law of silence does allow us to see how some people and some regions adhere to and respect traditional ideas.

Understand a kind of world, understand a kind of society, understand a kind of history, and understand a kind of way of life. The mafia, which was born under a specific historical background, is very pornographic and violent, but it is believed and supported by some people, and its existence is reasonable. Once you understand it, you won't over-interpret it. Remove the cloak of art, fade away the influence of the environment, and look for the origin of human nature. In fact, "people" are not much the same.

When I read "The Godfather" today, I first thought of that movie. The author of the original novel, Mario Puzo, also has a lot of stories. As an excellent gangster novel, "The Godfather" does not actually glorify gangsters too much. "The Godfather" created an empire. The fate of the old godfather Don Corleone was written by the times. He established the laws of the underworld to make profits through crime while protecting his family; while the fate of the young godfather Michael was written by his father himself. As early as when the old godfather took the road of gangsters, the fate of all the children in this family had been sacrificed. In order to safeguard their rights and safety, each generation must sacrifice their originally bright future. No matter what they choose, they cannot escape. Revenge and death follow them closely. This is the fateful tragedy of the family. The core of the novel is a reflection on gangsters and the entire chaotic era.

The remake of "The Godfather" is a world classic, and the original work is even more must-read. This is a book about family beliefs. The book tells the story of the name of "godfather" passed down by the Corleone family and a series of events that occurred during the change of two generations of godfathers. After reading this book, it is inevitable to be attracted by the mature, steady, capable and generous characteristics of the characters. Their names as gangsters were a refuge for many people in the society at that time. The dividing line between black and white, good and evil in the book is blurred, but the human characteristics they display in it are very attractive.

Just like what is said in the book, "A man is not a real man if he is not willing to be a father." Family and responsibility are equally important in the world of The Godfather. Moreover, the author's description of the characters is very delicate. For example, in this paragraph, "Johnny Fontaine waved casually to the valet... His dinner invitations were famous and had the courage of a royal banquet." The characters are vividly portrayed in just a few strokes. I think this book is not only a novel about gangsters, but also a profound discussion of human nature and family.

A classic, the evil of human nature is interpreted hypocritically and openly. Perhaps in the eyes of those people, he is a hero who speaks out for himself and changes his life. It's a pity that they didn't take a good look at the truly decent people who worked hard for their lives. The so-called mafia, godfather, don. They are just demons that lie on the bodies of poor innocent people and suck their blood.

There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests! The duality of human nature is scattered on corresponding things, and it also teaches people to learn to distinguish between them. You must remain in awe of power and beauty, and you can also maintain admiration, but you must remain absolutely calm. Sex can bring pleasure, and it can also subvert your own high-stakes life. As a man, like Cross, you must dare to love and hate your lover, take responsibility for your family, and dare to face setbacks and injustice. The godfather's wisdom, shrewdness, ruthlessness, etc. Are worthy of every man to ponder, understand and then apply, but he must have a principled bottom line and stay within the rules and regulations.

In a world where the weak eat the strong, this book allowed me to see clearly the nature of human nature and society. It's a must-see for men, I can't overstate it.

After seeing Michael and Guiliano, I finally found that Cross was the happiest.

It's a very good book. Previous reviews said it was a textbook for men. I've seen it, and I actually think it's pretty good!

At the high level of calculation, everything cannot escape Tang's control.

This is the first time I have read a novel carefully, and I like the first and the last one the most. After reading it, I have a deeper understanding of the complexity of human nature.

The opening chapter is not very impressive. It is foreshadowed through the perspective of three supporting characters who encounter unsolvable difficulties, and the protagonist "Old Godfather" is introduced. The Godfather appears with wise dialogue and easily solves problems that others cannot solve. The personality charm of "Old Godfather" instantly attracted me. During the break between solving the problem of the three people, I began to formally describe the image of the godfather. He is a short and fat man! It is different from the movie image. If the appearance of the godfather is described at the beginning, the readers will be discouraged. However, the smart author first establishes the wise image of the "old godfather" and makes the readers fall in love with this "mysterious godfather". When they think about what he looks like, he slowly reveals that he is obese. At this time, it is no longer important. Just like "there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers", superficial people pay too much attention to the appearance of the characters. No matter how beautiful the face is, it will fade with age. Only a strong personality charm will never fade. In the first "The Godfather", throughout the book, the "Godfather" plays the role of a behind-the-scenes pusher, controlling everything, so he doesn't have many roles. The highlight moment of the supporting role is the embodiment of the godfather's "wisdom". The above is my analysis from the author's perspective. If you have different opinions, you can share them together.

The storyline is wonderful, the characters are delicately carved, and the tragic hero leaves a deep impression on people. I like the first one the most, followed by the second, and finally the third. Textbook of human nature, worth reading!

Back then, when I was just a young man, I accidentally got two e-books, "Monte Cristo" and "The Godfather". After reading them, I could no longer read those Internet articles about gangsters and counterattacks. Yes, I couldn't stand them at all. At that time, I believed that the core of most such Internet articles was "The Godfather" and "Monte Cristo."

Good, meaningful

No matter what, the ending of a book is really disappointing

Reading the Godfather at different ages, There will be different gains. This book is just like the Godfather, guide the emotions of every reader, and teach them at different ages, Make the right choice.

The second part Guiliano gives people the feeling of a romantic After reading the third part, I found that the styles of the three parts are different. The third part hides Tang behind the scenes and controls the overall situation like a big hand. The book describes more of the people in the situation he controls.

It's so beautiful, it's enough to beat today's urban cool articles😄

Then watch Marlon Brando's wonderful performance Is France the destination for Italian Americans?

A classic, this is a profound book that is worth reading over and over again. We have to ponder it carefully and draw strength and wisdom from it.

Even now, the teachings in the book are still timely. Be cautious, neither humble nor arrogant. Don't get angry easily. Don't let others see what you are thinking. Be reasonable, don't threaten, and be respectful to everyone, especially those who deserve respect. Be responsible for family and friends

Immortal classic, man's Bible

The Godfather. High-quality male porn. It's pretty good. Sicilian. It's okay. The Last Godfather. I can't watch it.

"The Godfather" is a really good book, I felt heavy in my heart after reading it. Michael makes every move carefully. Family matters are never personal choices, but driven by fate. The writing is not sensational, but reading it makes people nervous, like watching a silent wrestling. I give it five stars, not because of its passion, but because it thoroughly describes the complexity of human nature. Only after reading it did I understand what true literary weight is. This kind of book is worth reading again and again.

Read the complete set of The Godfather

If a man has never watched The Godfather, then he really doesn't know how to be a real man.
