"The Godfather 2" has been around for more than three hours from beginning to end.

In more than three hours, the whole movie is like a turbulent river, whirlwind, twists and turns, twilight, and exciting people

For more than three hours, thousands of viewers in the Chinese Grand Theater spent most of their time in silence. This silence was not because they were not interested in this movie, but because the movie was pressing on their hearts like a mountain.

At the end of the movie, when a series of montage cross shots are intertwined, and when one of the tragic shots appears, almost all the audience wipe their tears and are immersed in the pressure of their thoughts, so that after the movie is over, the audience will be unable to recover from the movie for a long time.

I knew that the lights in the Grand Theater were on one after another, and when I brought the crew of "The Godfather 2" to the stage to bow and thank the audience, the tide of applause rang out and lasted for a long time.

"Corion!"

"Corion!"

"Corion!"

At this time, the audience could no longer express their feelings clearly. They were just shouting this slogan, and the entire theater was filled with excitement.

I saw Marskolov sitting in his seat and crying. I saw Sam Warner covering his face with his hands and crying. I saw many people hugging each other for a long time without being separated. I saw people hugging each other's shoulders and letting tears flow on their faces.

After three hours of long backlog of such a movie, people can see the loneliness of this world and make them see their lives very clearly.

"Mr. Corleon. A masterpiece!"

"Andre. A masterpiece! It's definitely no less than the first one!"

"An unprecedented movie!"

On the subsequent dinner party, I was completely surrounded by people. This movie received praise from everyone.

At the party, people were holding wine glasses and talking to each other. Many people were discussing the movie enthusiastically. Some people danced under the dance music.

This is the lively time and the time when we enjoy the victory. But I can't be happy no matter what.

This movie made the audience feel heavy, and for me, it also made me breathless.

It can be said that the montage cross shots at the end of the movie are like an awl, stinging my heart.

When watching movies and watching these shots, I suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of fear in my heart. I suddenly felt that Mike Corleon on the screen looked so much like myself. The Corleon family on the screen missed my family so much.

And will I become a lonely man like Mike?

This feeling was like a rope stalking around my neck, almost suffocating me.

I walked out of the cinema and came to the steps outside.

In December, the weather is very cold.

It was a howling wind outside. The sky was gloomy, as if it was going to snow. On the streets, cars were passing by and people passed by. Further away, the lights were brightly lit and various sounds were echoed.

At this moment, the city has become a city that never sleeps, because of the movies and because of the Christmas place.

But I didn't feel any joy in these things. Looking at the pale sky, I suddenly missed many people very much.

I miss the staggering footsteps of Old Gis as I walk, the serious Munau, the honest and generous Herbert Hoover, the idealistic Rutman, the father, the elder brother, and even the cans that smiled at me when I was dying.

Fireworks and laughter came from the depths of this city, so crisp.

This world is so vast that I can't adapt to it.

When I think of these people and these things, my heart becomes warm.

I think I am still different from Mike Corleon. The biggest difference between me and him is that I am destined to be a lonely person. In this regard, I am very similar to the old godfather. I have a group of loyal friends, a warm family, and a broad one.

With these things, the world will not be indifferent, and I will not be left with only one person. "Boss, everyone is going to dance group dance! You are the only one left! Hurry up!" Behind me, a head appeared and shouted at me.

Behind him, laughter from people came.

"Here!" I put out the cigarette in my hand and walked over with a smile.

On this night, Los Angeles spent a sleepless night. Not only Los Angeles, but almost all major cities in the United States spent a sleepless night.

On this night, the people were crazy because of the movies, and the country was caught in a carnival and a huge commotion.

A group of major Hollywood film companies withdrew from the main films led by "The Godfather 2", conquered American audiences, and also made them think deeply. On this night, I don’t know how many people’s heartstrings were fluctuated, and I don’t know how many people tossed and turned because of their inner excitement.

I almost couldn't sleep all night, and the group of people at DreamWorks almost didn't sleep all night.

The great success of "The Godfather 2" made everyone so excited that they couldn't sleep. Everyone sat in the office, discussing the movie enthusiastically, while waiting for dawn, and how the people evaluated the movie after dawn.

In the early morning, before the sky was completely dawn, major American newspapers began to release their newspapers in advance. At the same time, radio and television stations even launched overwhelming broadcasts of reports on "The Godfather 2".

That night, Hollywood released many movies, including many blockbusters from major film companies that people are extremely looking forward to. However, "The Godfather 2" has become the leader in all movies. Not only has it completely surpassed the limelight in its momentum, but it has also won unanimous recognition and high praise from Hollywood filmmakers and the public in terms of content and ideological connotation.

The front page headline of the Los Angeles Times. A still is extremely huge. This is a still from "The Godfather 2". Below the stills, is the title of the article: "I saw God this night!"

"Last night, Hollywood had 15 carefully planned movies released. These movies are the main movies of major Hollywood film companies, many of which were looked forward to by the audience for half a year. Previously, for these movies, the audience was vague. They didn't know which movie is better and which movie was vague. However, Andre Corleon's "Godfather 2" is definitely the movie they pay most attention to.

"Last night, I watched five movies, all of which were rated as the best movies in Hollywood this year's Christmas movie schedule by Hollywood filmmakers and audiences. After watching these movies, I was very happy all night."

"I spent the whole night thinking about my life. I sorted out the years I spent and reviewed many things I had done. Finally, I saw God!"

"This night, I became unprecedentedly happy! And all of these are because of a movie, that is "The Godfather 2"!"

"When Andre Corleon announced the filming of the sequel to "The Godfather", many people were muttering and doubting. Because in Hollywood, shooting a sequel to a successful movie is definitely a thankless thing. Most directors are unwilling to do such things, because the sequel to a successful movie often ends up being a dog-tail sequel, and finally being scolded by the audience."

"The Godfather is a success, and not a general success. The movie is called the greatest movie in Hollywood history and is considered by many to be a movie in the movie. In fact, the Godfather is fully affordable. I also fully agree with our evaluation of this movie."

"It is precisely for this reason that I strongly oppose Andre Corleon's sequel to filming the Godfather. There is only one reason I object, that is, I am worried that this sequel will ruin him."

"But Andre Corleon was very determined. Not only did he decide that the original plan would not change, but he made sufficient preparations. During that time, I felt extremely nervous. "The Godfather" had long become the highest monument in the minds of the audience. The content of this movie, the dialogue of the characters in the movie, the dressing of the characters in the movie, and the charm exuded by this movie have conquered everyone and left a deep impression on people."

"In such an environment, it is difficult to achieve a sequel movie, not only to surpass it, but even to maintain the same level as the original level. If this sequel is not well filmed, not only will Mr. Andre Corleon's reputation fall to the bottom, but the relevant units and people will probably become extremely disappointed with this movie at once."

"But even under such circumstances, Andre Corleon has always adhered to his own point of view and devoted himself to creating such a movie for the audience. It turned out to be a huge success."

"Many people asked me where the movie was successful. I think it is difficult to answer this question. In fact, we have been familiar with Mr. Corleon for so long, but we always feel that it is like the first time we know him and the first time we see his movie."

"I can say without an exaggeration that in Hollywood I am familiar with all the directors' styles, and I can summarize and comment on their styles and their techniques, but I cannot do such a job in Mr. Corleon's films, because every movie is almost novel, fresh, and unique, which is simply incredible."

"Perhaps this is also a style of Mr. Corleon. Among so many masterpieces he has filmed, almost every movie can finally develop a movie genre and become the pinnacle of this field."

"The Godfather 2 is a sequel to the Godfather, and everyone knows that this is true. When the filming of this movie started, many people thought that this movie was similar to other sequel movies, which was to follow the plot and emotions of the original first movie. Because of this reason, many people are divided into "The Godfather 2" and "The Godfather" and there will definitely be a lot of similar styles. The only difference is that most of the people participating in the performance."

"But after watching this movie, many people's views on this sequel movie have fundamentally changed. Although from the content, this movie also unfolds the plot with "The Godfather", in addition to this, this movie is completely different from "The Godfather".

"The biggest difference is the style. Although the content of "The Godfather" is also a fight between the gangsters and the bloody storm between them, basically the whole movie is still high. Although in the movie, the old godfather was assassinated, Sonny was killed, and the Corleone family suffered a crisis, the movie was tortuous and twisted, but at the end of the movie, it still ends brightly and inspires people. From this perspective, "The Godfather" is bright."

"And in "The Godfather 2", this high style no longer exists. In the movie, the overall style has been destined from the beginning of the movie. The movie for more than three hours completes a description of the characters' situation. This description starts from personal experience, but the final point is the entire local society."

"The atmosphere in "The Godfather 2" is very different from the atmosphere in "The Godfather". The atmosphere in the former is downward, while the latter is upward. When viewing "The Godfather 2", the audience may feel very frustrated from beginning to end. It seems that a big stone is pressed on the heart. This feeling is completely correct. Compared with the light in "The Godfather", this sequel is very dark. Whether it is the choice of elements such as light or the arrangement of the plot, it can be more wise. But because of this darkness, the audience often gets more things."

"The Godfather 2 shows many things that are far greater than the first movie in terms of emotional shock, such as betrayal of brothers, divorce of his wife and himself, etc. These things are not available in the first movie, but for the audience, such plots can make them think more in comparison."

"This movie shows a huge world. This world has something to do with the heart and a person's thinking. "The Godfather 2" makes us feel the big world, and makes us feel that human life is so full of twists and turns, sin and loneliness."

"The Godfather 2 is a movie that is completely different from what we imagined. In fact, this movie can be completely independent and the Godfather. I personally think that this movie is no less than the Godfather. It provides everyone who watches this movie with an opportunity to observe the world, and at the same time, it also teaches you a truth: people often experience setbacks or discomforts when facing this huge world, but as long as you have a firm heart, you can firmly grasp your inner freedom."

Adam Bernstein gave the supreme evaluation of "The Godfather 2". Such evaluations are rare for him. Hollywood can receive such long praise from him.

The discussion on "The Godfather 2" is far from limited to these, and most people express their opinions.

"When the last shot of "The Godfather 2" ended, when a series of cross montages ended, and when the screen was out of focus, the entire Grand Theater was pitch black, I burst into tears."

"It can be said that "The Godfather 2" adheres to the previous fine tradition of "The Godfather". The style of the whole movie is not out of touch with "The Godfather", and the plot development is the same. When the audience watches, the plot and characters are completely understandable. However, the whole movie has obviously improved greatly in its ideological nature."

"What the Godfather shows for us is basically a history of the underworld. Whether it is the history of making a fortune or the gangster's black and black eating, it focuses on the macro aspect and is a class, and specific characters, whether they are the old Godfather, his opponents or family members, are extremely included in the entire movie."

"But "The Godfather 2" is obviously different. The whole movie is no longer about the stories between the underworld, not the things between them. Mr. Corleon aimed at the people, Victor Corleon in his youth, and Mike Corleon."

"Compared with "The Godfather", the treatment of "The Godfather 2" is very rare. In fact, it is certainly difficult to make a movie that shows big scenes or tells the story in a tortuous and full manner. However, using magnificent social scenes to set a performance background for the characters, and then pay attention to the characters' inner world and lead the audience into the characters' inner heart. Only a master-level film director can complete this approach."

"If "The Godfather" is a magnificent and splendid social picture, then "The Godfather 2" is obviously a chant about the fate of mankind. In "The Godfather 2", the story of the gangsters showing each other is actually a bit outdated. What needs to be shown is a person's inner world. This person's inner world can represent everyone."

"When we see some situations in Mike, and when we see him sitting alone in the empty room at the end of the movie, I think many people will think of themselves at that time. Many things. We are completely like Mike. Although we are doing different careers, one thing is in common, that is, when facing this huge world, we are often so confused and lost. We have personal feelings from it, and at the same time, we have valuable inspiration."

"I think this movie by Mr. Corleon is a real masterpiece!"

Following this comment by Adam Bernstein, the author's name surprised me.

The premiere of "The Godfather 2" has attracted heated comments from the media. The public and Hollywood filmmakers have given great praise to this movie, especially Hollywood filmmakers. Whether it is the director or the researcher of the movie, they have conducted detailed analysis of the movie from all aspects.

"Mr. Corleon's movie is a movie full of charm and makes people cry speechlessly. So far, no movie has been able to penetrate my heart like a sharp blade, making me cry happily."

"When Mr. Corleon announced the filming of the sequel to "The Godfather", many people seemed to have the impression that Mr. Corleon's sequel was definitely a fierce film, because the Godfather had already made us deeply understand what kind of movie can be called a real underworld movie."

"The first part of "The Godfather" left me with a bunch of fleshy men, a magnificent momentum, and that kind of momentum made any man who has watched this movie excited. But Mr. Corleon's "The Godfather 2" obviously makes many people who want to experience the huge momentum in the movie feel a little disappointed. Because this movie is obviously different from the previous movie in terms of the structure of the movie, the plot and atmosphere of the movie."

"It can be said that although "Godfather 2" and "Godfather" are the same movie, they are completely different in basic style. If "Godfather" is compared to a fierce military marche, then "Godfather 2" is obviously like an anxious and low nocturne."

"The whole movie is filled with a kind of style that makes people feel heavy from beginning to end. In the first movie, the Corleon family was brilliant, and Mike, who successfully grew from a young man to the second godfather of the family, was even more heroic. Although there were setbacks and tragedies in the first movie, the style was generally high. However, this movie suddenly transformed and entered a completely different state. I think this state is very excellent."

"Mr. Corleon has undoubtedly been carefully considered. He knows more than any Hollywood filmmaker what the result will be if a sequel movie is in the same way as the first movie. This approach is obviously not a problem for ordinary directors, but obviously not for Mr. Corleon. It is certain that if filmed in the style of the first movie, "The Godfather 2" will definitely be successful, because the movie has left a brand for the audience. For the audience, this subject has cast the pinnacle of Hollywood movies. If filmed in the previous way, there will definitely be no problem at the box office, but Mr. Corleon is not an ordinary director. He must create new miracles."

"For other directors, filming a sequel is the greatest success that can create the same achievements as previous films, and Mr. Corleon must make a breakthrough on this basis to satisfy the audience and Hollywood filmmakers. To some extent, this is obviously unfair to Mr. Corleon. But Mr. Corleon uses his film to show us the demeanor of the father of Hollywood films."

"The biggest feature of "The Godfather 2" is the double-line structure of this movie. Many people, like me, once thought that the content of this movie must have shown Mike's plot, but when the film starts, when the lens with a distinctly Polish style appears in front of me, I knew that this movie Mr. Corleon succeeded."

"The double-line structure is simply a stroke of origin. It makes the whole movie like an elegy, long and touching. At the same time, under this elegy, a man's lonely life is staged."

"The plot of the old godfather not only adds a strong historical mood to the movie, but also adds the story of the old godfather to the first movie at the same time. It also provides a sharp contrast for the shaping of Mike's character in the movie and leaves a tone for the whole movie. In the movie, the story of the old godfather from childhood to middle age is tortuous and charming. Although there are twists and turns in his life, the old godfather's life is successful. His life is respected and his family is happy. More importantly, the old godfather's personal inner world is extremely plump. As a comparison, Mike is no less than that of the old godfather from his ability to his hands. But compared with the old godfather, his life is obviously anxious and failed."

"The Godfather 2 changes the overall style of the previous movie. It can be called a classic to turn the attention to a family and an epic of the underworld into an exploration of a person's inner world."

"The greatness of the Godfather is that it uses epic structure for the first time to show the magnificent historical picture of a gangster family, and then displays the style and historical trajectory of the entire society. The greatness of the sequel is that it uses a panoramic view of society and history to complete the deep digging of a character's heart. Such a technique and such angle have never been in Hollywood."
