Speaking of "The Godfather" protagonist Michael's life, many people behaved evaluation is turned into an endless fall, thereby shedding step by step process of the human shell. People always seem to relish the old godfather, said that despite his extraordinary means, but there is still tender feelings of humanity, and Michael almost cruel, cold-blooded, psychotic synonymous. In fact, looking back at "The Godfather", Michael is my understanding of the fate of the most tragic characters, as he was champion of Lu Xun alone, traveled alone in the dark. "The Godfather" Michael is the fate of three main line runs through its ambitious narrative structure has always been praiseworthy man to show the essence of the role of Michael in terms of the mentality or the carrier. Let us remove the head of the godfather of Michael halo, from the perspective of human nature to analyze the tragic fate of his tragic life can be summed up in one word: alone. Can say that the eyes of his father Michael has been a peak. Unlike the third generation of Godfather Michael Vincent, the nature of the desire for power is not fanatical, he is completely out of his father's love of family. He once said that I do not want to be like him, but I love him. The pure love, so that after the accident he heard his father, desperate to protect their loved ones. Found in his father arrived at the hospital had been shot once again facing the danger, the camera shows the most touching scene: he fell on his father bedside, gently stroking his father's old face, said nothing, Dad, I to protect you, me and you. Then kissed his father's forehead, leaving the father could not move his party tears. In the most perilous moment the whole family, the father life threatening at any moment, he can not consider all of the sacrifices made by their own, decided to take on drug lords and the police chief to remove the task. Please note that before this he had never directly intervene in family affairs. We see the end of the second firm flash gyrus Michael leave school to join the army already had on their future plans, but now all been actively involved in family affairs, people stand to one side, and to destroy his life by Michael the expense of the future to restore his father's life. Videos in shaping the image of Michael is very attention to the use of eyes, this is Pacino the actor's greatness. Michael has been very firm eyes watching the same direction, many people commented that you looked at his empty eye hole, there will be chilling feeling, but in Michael to shoot drug dealers and the police chief, his eyes is the only time when scattered. He did not watch each other, but bowed his head, such as constantly looking for something out of the window with the sound of approaching trains, the atmosphere more and more nervous, but Michael's eyes are more free, finally, he decided to carry a decision on the fate of his hand fired the bullet. This is a major focus of rendering is to show Michael the biggest turning point in the fate of the psychological state of temporary confusion in his eyes he can see how intense the ongoing ideological struggle, because he has to pay, is his life. After this point, as his solemn eyes, Michael embarked on a path of no re-added. Father has been strongly opposed to his involvement in family affairs, in his post-injury to get rid of the enemies heard that Michael, the lens appears in her father's fading face, shook his head and closed his eyes and I sigh, as the father of Shangqie Michael's future has been destroyed bitter, Michael how much I have to bear the pain? But Michael never showed it. Godfather in the old garden talk with Michael in that scene, the camera is very clever deal, the two of them one after the other, suggesting the transfer of the last two generations, the father of the lens front, said: I did not want you to interfere in the hope that Can you come out ahead, I hope you can become governor of Lyon. And in late position to think about Michael at this time is no longer simple, he has to play alone, from the family's affairs. On the one hand, he assured the family to console his father, one must also work hard to achieve his father hoped he was the head has become the legitimate hopes of the world's elite, the phrase I tell you I can support the live, I can require much perseverance in the back support ah! After the death of his father, Michael can be more alone in his soul who no longer fit with them, the only position to understand the situation of living in The Godfather father passed away, this feeling in the second part of the Michael the performance of a dialogue with the mother head. Very dark color processing room, the only light is lit the flame of the fireplace Michael half of the face, indicate that he is extremely ambivalent. He asked his mother: the idea of telling my father, he is very strong, For the family firm, the family he failed before? ... ... This is not my loss, but the entire family out. Mother said: You can not let the whole family out ah. Can be said that the important task of the whole family to bear by one Michael, he has been trying to make his strong, in order not to lose the family and strong, but the firm was behind poignant loneliness. Michael from man to the godfather of the transformation process is to some extent reflected the lives of everyone it? Perhaps the tragedy of life and human nature alone, is really the fate of mankind. People - Godfather Review of Michael's life, we must ask that this tragic and lonely thing behind it? What caused the tragedy of Michael it? I think people with power, institutional and social opposition between the eternal. Human nature is complex, because people always in the id, ego, superego constant balance. This balance involves not only indivials, but has a more complex social reasons. Person as an indivial, in the process of integration will continue to lose their own nature, and Michael is even more special, because he has to complete one from a pure to the changing role of godfather. This shift was looking forward to the family and other factors continue to contribute to society's expectations. In this process, factors to suppress the self to a minimum, because the more a person to become part of the established rules, the more to rece the proportion of self. In this conversion, he faces is a powerful system, but the special nature of the role of godfather to Michael Powers and evil must be faced with the problem throughout society, in which the relationship between human nature is fully reflected in the dark side, the indivial person's role in this most vulnerable groups have to face their own form from the darkest abyss, if you can not be part of it, it can only become a victim of its reality. The abyss has a religious aura, has a shocking and bloody, with the cloak of civilization, but the deepest of which is the integration of evil human nature. Group of people who are poor from the ancient hard to survive in the natural environment of the important reasons to the present, but also human nature to become the best stage show. Relations in groups, to establish a balance between the human constraints of the system, but the rule-makers and actors out of the same nature, which determined that the nature of the system. However, this system has a strong binding to human, they do not act according to the system will be eliminated, so the people will never have to sacrifice their own sake only system, it is also this makes Michael constantly lose sight of yourself to be thrown into darker situation. If in the first "Godfather" in Connie's children to complete in the holy water of baptism wash away that Michael to the baptism of blood at the same time completed the transformation from the indivial to the Godfather, if he does not do that, his life offerings will be another evil, which, in essence, reveals the top of power between the human relationship. "The Godfather" to express a character through which, in fact, the problem of all mankind, the indivial is helpless, they can not escape the old godfather said he is fighting the end of their refusal to become a big shot in the hands of the doll, the one is to become the so-called big man, Michael also followed such a trajectory, the tragedy for the indivial as the only means to survive. In such circumstances, the indivial alone with nature is always a state of mind, which in this environment is still the only source of conscience, which alone comes from indivial and group conflict can never be reconciled, the person impossible for the integration of groups than when alone, because the group is the integration of me, but always the potential of self mind, silently looking at everything, which is why people are the cause of indivial existence. Self by various factors from the extrusion group, faced with the expense of their own at any time for a balanced position. It is the only support comes from the kinship of mankind, this is the only pure natural relationship, a real dilemma when faced with the export of the ideal, always hopes future generations, or to find a soul all his actions support, this is one of the human virtues, completely without the purpose of self-sacrifice exists only in such a relationship. However, when people have lost their last hope that when everything is completely back to the dark abyss, lonely and always linger in the mind become inescapable in the state. Michael from man to the godfather of the transformation process is to some extent reflected the lives of everyone it? Perhaps the tragedy of life and human nature alone, is really the fate of mankind.

你可以自己挑一下重點

At the wedding reception of Don Vito Corleone's daughter Connie and Carlo Rizzi in the late summer of 1945, Vito, the head of the Corleone Mafia family – who is known to his friends and associates as Godfather – and Tom Hagen, the Corleone family lawyer and consigliere (counselor), are hearing requests for favors from friends and associates, because "no Sicilian can refuse a request on his daughter's wedding day". Meanwhile, the Don's youngest son Michael, who has returned from World War II service as a decorated war hero, tells his girlfriend Kay Adams anecdotes about his father's criminal life, reassuring her that he is not like his family.

Among the guests at the celebration is the famous singer Johnny Fontane, Corleone's godson, who has come from Hollywood to petition for help in landing a movie role that will revitalize his flagging career. Jack Woltz, the head of the studio, will not give Fontane the part, but Don Corleone explains to Johnny: "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." Hagen is dispatched to California to fix the problem, but Woltz angrily tells him that he will never cast Fontane in the role, for which he is perfect, because Fontane seced and "ruined" a starlet that Woltz favored. The next morning, Woltz wakes up to find the bloody severed head of his prize $600,000 stud horse in the bed with him. Woltz gives in.

Upon Hagen's return, the family meets with Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo, who is being backed by the rival Tattaglia family. He asks Don Corleone for financing and political and legal protection for the importation and distribution of heroin, but despite the huge amount of money to be made, Corleone refuses, explaining that his political influence would be jeopardized by a move into the narcotics trade. The Don's oldest son, hotheaded Sonny, who had earlier expressed to the Don his support of the family entering into the narcotics trade, breaks rank ring the meeting and questions Sollozzo's assurances as to the Corleone Family's investment being guaranteed by the Tattaglia Family. His father, angry at Sonny's dissension in front of a non-family member, privately rebukes him later. Don Corleone then dispatches his top button man (hit man), Luca Brasi, to infiltrate Sollozzo's organization and report back with information.

Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone, the Godfather.Soon after his refusal to support Sollozzo, Don Corleone is shot several times in an assassination attempt, and it is not immediately known whether he has survived. Meanwhile, Sollozzo and the Tattaglias kill Luca Brasi. Sollozzo then abcts Tom Hagen and persuades him to offer Sonny the deal previously offered to his father. Enraged, Sonny refuses to consider the deal, and issues an ultimatum to the Tattaglias – turn over Sollozzo or face war. They refuse, and Sonny responds by having Bruno Tattaglia, son of Don Phillip Tattaglia, killed.

Michael, who is considered a "civilian" by the other Mafia families, not involved in mob business, visits his father in the hospital, but is shocked to find there is no one guarding him. Realizing that his father is again being set up to be killed, he calls Sonny with a report, moves his father to another room, and goes outside to watch the door. With the help of Enzo the baker, who feels indebted to the Don and has come by the hospital to pay his respects, he bluffs away Sollozzo's men. Police cars soon appear with the corrupt Captain McCluskey, who breaks Michael's jaw when he insinuates that McCluskey is being paid by Sollozzo to set up his father. Just then, Hagen arrives with "private detectives" licensed to carry guns to protect Don Corleone, and takes Michael home.

Following the attempt on the Don's life at the hospital, Sollozzo requests a meeting with the Corleones, which Captain McCluskey will attend as Sollozzo's bodyguard, and Michael volunteers to kill both men ring the meeting. This initially amuses Sonny and the other senior members of the family; however Michael convinces them that he is serious, and that killing Sollozzo and McCluskey is in the family's interest: "It's not personal. It's strictly business." Although cops are usually off limits for hits, Michael argues that since McCluskey is corrupt and has illegal dealings with Sollozzo, he is fair game.

At the meeting, after being searched by McCluskey, Michael excuses himself to go to the restroom, where he retrieves a planted revolver and assassinates Sollozzo and McCluskey. For his safety Michael is sent to Sicily, while the Corleone family prepares for all-out warfare with the rest of the Five Families, united against the Corleones, as well as a general clampdown on the mob by the police and government authorities. In Sicily, Michael lives under the protection of Don Tommasino, an old friend of the family. While there, he falls in love with and marries a local girl, Apollonia Vitelli, who is later killed by a car bomb intended to assassinate Michael.

Back in New York, Don Corleone returns home from the hospital and is distraught to learn that it was Michael who killed Sollozzo and McCluskey. Some months later, in 1948, Sonny severely beats Carlo Rizzi for brutalizing the pregnant Connie, and threatens to kill him the next time he abuses her. An angry Carlo responds by plotting with Tattaglia and Don Emilio Barzini, the Corleones' chief rivals, to have Sonny killed. Carlo beats Connie again in order to lure Sonny out. Furious, Sonny drives off alone to fulfill his threat. On the way, he is ambushed at a toll booth and machine-gunned to death in his car.

Instead of seeking revenge for Sonny's killing, Don Corleone meets with the heads of the Five Families to arrange an end to the war. Not only is it draining all of their assets and threatening their survival, but ending the conflict is the only way that Michael can return home safely. Reversing his previous decision, Vito agrees that the Corleone family will provide political protection for Tattaglia's traffic in heroin. At the meeting, Don Corleone determines that Don Barzini, not Tattaglia, was ultimately behind the mob war and Sonny's death.

With his safety guaranteed, Michael returns from Sicily. More than a year later, he reunites with his former girlfriend, Kay, telling her that he wants to marry her. With the Don semi-retired, Sonny dead and middle brother Fredo considered incapable of running the family business, Michael is now in charge, and promises Kay to make the family completely legitimate within five years.

Peter Clemenza and Salvatore Tessio, two Corleone Family caporegimes (captains) complain that they are being pushed around by the Barzini Family and ask permission to strike back, but Michael refuses. He plans to move the family operations to Nevada and after that, Clemenza and Tessio may break away to go on their own. Michael further promises that Connie's husband, Carlo, is going to be his right hand man in Nevada. Tom Hagen has been removed as consigliere and is now merely the family's lawyer, with Vito serving as consigliere. Privately, Hagen complains about his change in status, and also questions Michael about a new regime of "soldiers" secretly being built under Rocco Lampone. Don Vito explains to Hagen that Michael is acting on his advice.

Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen (left) and Al Pacino as Michael Corleone (right)In Las Vegas Michael is greeted by Fredo and Johnny Fontane in the hotel-casino partly financed by the Corleones, and run by Moe Greene. Michael explains to Johnny that the Family needs his help in persuading his friends in show business to sign long-term contracts to appear at the casino. In a meeting with Moe Greene, Michael offers to buy out Greene but is rudely rebuffed. Greene believes the Corleones are weak and that he can secure a better deal from Barzini. As Moe and Michael argue, Fredo takes sides with Moe. Afterwards, Michael firmly tells Fredo to never again take sides with anyone against the family.

Michael returns home. In a private meeting, Vito explains his expectation that the Family's enemies will attempt to kill Michael by using a trusted associate to arrange a meeting as a pretext for assassination. Shortly afterwards, Vito dies of a heart attack while playing with his young grandson Anthony in his tomato garden. At the burial, Tessio conveys a proposal for a meeting with Barzini, which identifies him as the traitor that Vito was expecting.

Michael arranges for a series of murders to occur while he is standing as godfather for Connie and Carlo's son:

Don Stracci and his bodyguards are shot by Clemenza with a shotgun as they exit an elevator;
Moe Greene, while having a massage in one of his hotels, is shot in the eye by an unknown assassin;
Don Cuneo, while leaving a hotel, is trapped in a revolving door by Willi Cicci and shot;
Don Tattaglia and a woman he is with are gunned down while in bed by Rocco Lampone and another unknown assassin;
Finally, Don Barzini is shot on the steps of a courthouse by Al Neri, who is disguised by wearing his old policeman's uniform.
After the baptism, Tessio believes he and Hagen are on their way to the meeting between Michael and Barzini that he has arranged. Instead, he is surrounded by Willi Cicci and other button men. Realizing that Michael has found out about his betrayal, Tessio tells Hagen that his betrayal was only business. Meanwhile, Michael confronts Carlo about Sonny's murder and gets him to admit his role in setting up the ambush. Michael informs Carlo that his punishment is to be excluded from the family business and hands him a plane ticket to exile in Las Vegas. Carlo gets into a car to go to the airport, where he is garroted by Clemenza.

Later, Connie confronts Michael, accusing him of Carlo's murder. Kay questions Michael about Connie's accusation, but he refuses to answer. She insists, and Michael lies, assuring his wife that he had no role in Carlo's death. Kay is relieved by his denial, believing it to be true. The film ends with Clemenza and new caporegimes Rocco Lampone and Al Neri paying their respects to Michael. Clemenza kisses Michael's hand and greets him as "Don Corleone." Kay watches with dawning comprehension--Michael is the new Godfather.

[edit] Differences from the novel
One of the primary parts of Puzo's novel which was not used for the movie was the flashback story of Don Corleone's earlier life, including the circumstances of his emigration to America, his early family life, his murder of Don Fanucci, and his rise in importance in the mafia, all of which were later used in The Godfather Part II.

Many subplots were trimmed in the transition from the printed page to the screen, including: singer Johnny Fontane's misfortunes with women and his problems with his voice; Sonny's impulsive dabbling in street crime as a teenager and his utter lack of the tact and coolheadedness possessed in such abundance by his father; Sonny's paramour Lucy Mancini's new-found love in Dr. Jules Segal (a character entirely missing from the film), who not only repairs Lucy's vaginal malformation but puts Michael in touch with the surgeon who repairs Michael's facial bones (which had been damaged by Capt. McCluskey) and also operated on Johnny Fontane's vocal cords, thus restoring his singing voice; Jack Woltz' increasing pedophilia; Kay Adams's home life; Luca Brasi's demonic past; the Corleone family's victorious rise to power in earlier New York gang wars in which Don Corleone survives a previous assassination attempt and Al Capone sends triggermen from Chicago in an unsuccessful attempt to aid a rival gang; Don Corleone's ingenious plan used to take Michael out of exile in Sicily; the detailed savage attack on the two men who assaulted Bonasera's daughter, which was led by Paulie Gatto and involved retainer thugs (which was only alluded to in the film).

Additionally, the novel makes it clear that Lucy was not pregnant by Sonny when she moved to Las Vegas, thus leaving no room for Vincent Mancini of The Godfather, Part III. Curiously, Puzo wrote the screenplays of all three movies, so the contradiction was well known to him.

Characters with smaller roles in the film than in the novel include Johnny Fontane, Lucy Mancini, Rocco Lampone, and Al Neri (the latter two are reced to non-speaking roles). Characters dropped in the film adaptation beside Dr. Segal include Genco Abbandando (only spoken of, he appears in a deleted scene featured in The Godfather Saga; he first appears on film in The Godfather II) and Dr. Taza from Sicily. Also, in the book, Michael and Kay have two sons, but in the movies they have a son and a daughter.

The novel and film also differ on the fates of Michael's bodyguards in Sicily, Fabrizio and Calo. The film has them both surviving (Calo, in fact, appears in the third installment). In the book, however, Calo dies along with Apollonia in the car explosion, and Fabrizio is shot and killed as one more victim in the famous "baptism scene" after he is tracked down running a pizza parlor in America. Fabrizio's murder was deleted from the film but publicity photos of the scene exist.[6] (He is later killed in a completely different scene in The Godfather Saga which was deleted from The Godfather: Part II).

The ending of the book differs from the end of the movie: whereas in the film Kay suddenly realizes that Michael has become "like his family", the drama is toned down in the book, where Tom Hagen lets her in on secrets for which, according to him, he would be killed should Michael find out. During the film's baptism scene, all the heads of the Five Families were killed. In the novel, only Barzini and Tattaglia, previously at war with the Corleones, are killed.

轉載的這篇符合要求：

The best way to describe The Godfather is flawless in every way that a movie can be flawed. It exceeds expectations of what should be put into a movie from everyone involved.

Coppola directs The Godfather with obsessive precision. Every shot is shown in its own way for a reason, and if something is put into place, it has a purpose. The cinematography for such a small-scale story is breathtaking. The shots of small, old-style Sicily villages and rain-soaked, film noir-ish New York streets are immensely innovative for the budget that Coppola was provided.

Mario Puzo, the author of the novel that this is based on, assisted Coppola in the writing of the remarkably original screenplay. The movie opens with an Italian man, quivering with rage, telling the always brilliant Marlon Brando how his daughter was recently beaten within an inch of her life and the attacker got away with barely any punishment.

"I want justice," he says fiercely. We know immediately that what will be dished out will be far from justice. We know that Brando (his character is named Don Vito) is heading some sort of crime organization before any mention of it is given. The term Mafia is never used once in the film, because the theme is so clear without it.

Marlon Brando's sons and daughters are shown in the introction at his daughter's wedding, and their personalities and intentions are as different as can be. His son Sonny (played by James Caan) has a fiery temper and spits at a group of private detectives after smashing their cameras to bits.

His son Michael (in a career-making performance by Al Pacino) tells his girlfriend (Diane Keaton) a story. In the story, his father (Brando) gave a man "an offer he couldn't refuse" (a term that has now become a part of American culture). This means that a gun was put to a man's head, and it was assured that either his brains or his signature would be on a contract that his father wanted signed. Michael's girlfriend looks at him with shock and horror when she hears the story, and Michael firmly says "That's my family…it's not me." What follows is a nasty run-in with the illegal narcotics gang in which Don Vito is shot and nearly killed. In one of the most powerful scenes in the history of cinema, Michael turns on his word to his love and murders a police officer and a gang member in cold blood.

The Godfather is like a Shakespearean tragedy. We see a man who is pure of heart and has good intentions plummet deep into a dark and senseless life.

The theme of the movie isn't carried forward with gunfights, car chases and constant action. It is a well-paced drama with sudden bursts of shocking violence to keep the audience's attention. And to hold it all together so beautifully, there is Nino Rota's haunting musical score.

This is the first and most powerful installment in arguably the best trilogy in the history of film. This movie alone has paved the way for epics and single-handedly created new standards for film-making excellence.

This is not only the Best Picture of 1972, as its well-earned Oscar states. I feel that this is the Best Picture of all time.
