The Godfather Original**.

This book is the first in the "Godfather" series, written by American writer Mario Puzo in 1969, describing the history of Vito, the godfather of the ** Party in the United States, and his family. Mario Puzo grew up listening to Italian ** parties.

Mafia's story. Puzo collaborated with Francis Copola to adapt The Godfather into a screenplay, which was brought to the screen in 1972 by superstar Marlon Brando.

Shine on the top.

Introduction: Michael.

A member of the Corleone family, a "good college student", his father was a mafia figure, but he was nearly assassinated for refusing to cooperate with other gangs to sell drugs. During the negotiations, he killed representatives of five gangs and a police chief, and went into hiding in Italy to avoid the limelight. Michael's eldest brother is killed.

After returning to China, Michael became the new leader of the ** party.

The second "The Godfather Returns".

Thirty-three years after the publication of The Godfather, Random House recruited authors to continue to write gangster classics. Mark W. Vahngardner stood out from more than a hundred applicants. Great myths should be retold by writers of ingenuity, and Vahngardner does this brilliantly by breathing new life and character into Puzo's mythical characters, supplementing the untouched portions of America's most influential crime family**.

Take the unsolved mystery of the original book.

For clues, Mark Van Gardner unveils a sequel to the gangster classic The Godfather. A copy of "The Godfather's Return" made Corleone, who had been silent for many years.

The family is back in front of the world again.

The third "The Godfather's Revenge".

The book "The Godfather's Revenge" puts the Colleone family on a broad stage where the party intersects with American politics and even international politics, and can be called a gangster classic that connects history and reality. Compared with "The Godfather's Return", "The Godfather's Revenge" has a more complete plot, with many characters and distinct personalities, and it also involves one thing that fans of "The Godfather" have been interested in but have not been able to find the answer in the work - what is the connection between the Colleone family and the ** assassination? In addition, Vahngardner is also in this saga.

has added the role of female characters, and successfully created their vivid and three-dimensional images, which are comparable to the male characters in them.

Gaiden "Sicilian".

The Sicilian and The Godfather are linked. At the beginning of the work, the author reintroduces Michael Coglioni, the youngest son of his godfather who has fled Sicily, to the reader: Michael is about to return to the United States to take over his father's position in the Coglioni family when he suddenly receives instructions from his father to persuade and help Quiliano escape to the United States.

At the beginning of the first part, Michael is actually incompatible with the whole family, the old godfather has a clear plan for the future of his three sons, according to the original arrangement, it must be the eldest brother who inherits the family business, and the second brother spends his life in fun, and Michael can break away from the family, chase his own life, and can spend his life happily with Kai.

The assassination of the old godfather and the eldest brother changed Michael's life, and when his father was assassinated, only Michael could stand up and kill the drug lord Solozo; When the eldest brother was assassinated, only Michael could step up and lead the entire family. That's not what Mike wants, and it's not what the old godfather wants. But for the sake of the whole family, they can only do this, and since they have chosen the family, it means that Mike's life must be miserable.

From the perspective of the theme of the movie itself, the godfather theme as a man's bible has a strong masculine color, so in the eyes of some girls, the theme of this movie is somewhat unacceptable. (This is also the main reason why I personally think that from the perspective of the movie itself, The Godfather is second in IMDB, compared to The Shawshank Redemption, which is suitable for men and women, and is easy to displease some feminists).

However, in my eyes, from the perspective of the elements of the Godfather movie itself, its logic is rigorous, the plot is relaxed, the characters are three-dimensional and full, and the theme is consistent and prominent, which are its shining points. The first two also won Oscars for this, while Al Pacino and Francis Coppola also gained fame.

There's nothing you can't see, I think it's good to just learn from it.

The Godfather is all more exciting, but the following chapters stand out:

Chapter 1, "Reconstructed": This chapter follows the godfather Michael Stratford's quest for fame and power, and how he reconstructs his criminal family.

Chapter 12 "The Last Duel": This chapter tells the story of the final showdown between Michael Stratford and the villain, and how they ultimately reached victory.
