Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about Michael's battle to become a god - it is not only the climax at the end of the first part of the "Godfather" movie, but also the 31st chapter of the eighth part of the original "The Godfather".

But many people may not have thought that in such an important plot, the people pointed at by the guns in the movie and the original work are actually different. Personal opinion, the film adaptation - especially the montage scene of the church baptism and the gang vendetta, is definitely a rare classic in the history of film, with strong conflict and plot tension, also looks better than . But according to the plot in the book, may be more reasonable than .

Then let’s carefully compare the details of the movie and the original work.

Part One "Warm-up" before the war

First of all, in the warm-up state, the movie had a very significant adaptation.

As we said in the previous chapter, Michael had already become the godfather of Carlo and Connie's children before the war began - so the montage could not appear in the book.

But there is a reason for this. The old godfather had just passed away, and Michael tried his best to prepare for the war, not daring to make any mistakes or take any risks.

Therefore, in order to stabilize Carlo, Michael agreed to become the godfather of his child; but at the same time, for safety reasons, he requested that the baptism ceremony be completed at home.

In addition, Mo Green has been killed by Nellie in Las Vegas before.

In the movie, he was killed by an unknown killer in the final scene.

After Michael became his nephew's godfather, the Carlo family planned to go to Las Vegas. At this time, Michael left Carlo behind - which foreshadowed that the final battle was about to begin - and the external battle in the movie was over at this time.

Part 2 The War Begins

In the book, Carlo returned to the boulevard and began a long wait - at this time he even called his mistress and arranged to meet later. It can be seen that although Carlo is now playing the role of a good husband on the surface, in fact he still has various little things of his own. Connie was indeed too emotionally confused. How could she believe that a person who had hit her like that would suddenly change his attitude 180 degrees and become obedient, gentle and submissive? It's a pity that neither traditional Catholic families nor Sicilians can accept divorce.

But nothing happened to Tessio at this time - he stayed because he was going to meet Bazzini together later.

At the same time, Carlo also saw that Rampo was also there - and he was responsible for guarding the door. He felt very surprised. After all, Lanpo had started to form a team by himself and was the future leader. Even he had to guard the gate, which showed that there was a big move today.

He wanted to talk, but Lanpo was naturally tight-lipped. He even felt that Lanpo didn't have much respect for Michael, so he gave him a few words of education as "brother-in-law + Michael's best friend".

Behind the gate guarded by Rampo, only Michael and Hagen were left talking in secret. Hagen knew all the arrangements, but he still relented and reconfirmed whether he could let Tessio go, but Michael refused.

Next, the battle officially begins. The first shooting occurred at a pizza shop in Buffalo, in the northern part of the state, where a customer killed the clerk.

The customer is naturally a member of the Corleone family - after all, the clerk is not a mafia boss, but an ordinary person hiding here - Fabrizio , the person who betrayed Apollonia back then.

This person has no subsequent explanation in the movie, which is always a pity.

The second shot was taken by Lanpo himself.

He received a call from the informant, and then walked the same road where Sonny was killed, taking trains and buses all the way. Finally, he arrived alone at a small villa in the mountains, kicked open the door, and shot a bullet into the bed. On the body of an old man in his teens - there is a detail here. The old man is making out with his mistress (or prostitute), and he is standing on the bed.

This old man is the head of the Tartaglia family - Philippe Tartaglia.

Then Lanpo drove back to the boulevard and continued to guard the gate.

In the movie, Lanpo and another killer went to kill together. The two of them were armed with submachine guns, and they killed Lian Tartaglia and the woman together.

The third shot came from the newcomer Nellie whom we described in detail in the previous chapter.

Nellie went to deal with Bazzini single-handedly, just like in the movie. He dressed up as a police officer - wearing his old badge (which had not been taken back when he left the station). He pretended to trouble Bazzini's car, arguing with his driver while waiting for Bazzini to show up.

When Bazzini showed up, he was accompanied by two bodyguards, plus the driver in the car. In fact, there were three people protecting Bazzini. Nellie fired three bullets from his .38 police gun, hitting Bazzini in the chest. Then he rushed into the crowd and arrived at the agreed place. A special car took him away.

Here, the difference between the movie and the book is that there was only one bodyguard around Bazzini, and then Nelli killed the bodyguard and the driver, and finally hit Bazzini who was escaping. The next second, a car came to pick him up.

There is another point that is the most crucial difference - the Bazzini in the book is a short and fat man, while the Bazzini in the movie is really a handsome uncle with a graceful and dignified appearance.

The one wearing the hat on the right is Bazzini

The next thing is the decisive difference between the movie and the original work. In the original work of

, after killing Bazzini, Tessio is next. But in the movie, after Bazzini, interspersed with the baptism, there are also the heads of two other families of .

Anthony Strache——He was shot and killed by Ke Fat blocking him at the elevator door. He had sung at Connie's previous wedding.

Otilio Cuneo - He was blocked in the restaurant's revolving door and shot by another of Michael's killers, Willy Chichi (who also appeared in the Godfather 2 movie).

So actually in the movie, Michael killed all the heads of the other four major families.

But in the book, there is no mention of the other two families. From a practical perspective, it might be more beneficial to the Corleone family at that time to eliminate those who had hurt themselves and win over other families.

If all the leaders of the four major families are killed and he leaves New York (after all, Michael really wants to take the whitewash route), then the mafia forces in New York will be reshuffled. However, the tree is big and the roots are deep. Even if he left Clemenza to establish his own power, it is very likely that the descendants of these major families will be able to regroup amidst the total chaos. Moreover, these major families are likely to share the same hatred and deal with Clemenza together.

Then even if new forces appear here in the future, they will continue to confront Michael.

Therefore, by killing only the Barzini and Tartaglia families, one can avenge oneself and partially expand one's power. At the same time, the power vacuum that appears will also be left to the other two families to compete for. They will regard each other as competitors, but there will be no more hostility towards Michael. Clemenza will be left to develop, and it will be relatively easy for him to get started.

Part Three: Eliminating the Traitors

After the baptism in the movie, Michael began to eliminate the traitors. In the

book, after killing Bazzini, Michael began to eliminate the traitors.

In short, when the external battle was over and Michael was sure of victory, he began to face the two traitors with a mentality of total control. The two parts of

, the movie and the book are almost identical.

Tessio was still captured by Hagen.

It is worth noting that after Hagen watched Tessio being escorted into the car through the window, the camera stayed on Hagen, but there were four sounds in the background - the first one was the sound of the car door closing, and the remaining three sounds , it was the sound of a gunshot.

In the end, it was Michael himself who went to collect Carlo 's head.

I prefer the Chinese translation in the book. "You have to give me an explanation" , this implicit way of expression has more room for negotiation than "You have to pay for Sonny's death" - only then can it be combined with the following text to let Carlo have some daydreams. , and even naively believed that as long as he confessed, he would really be "lenient" from Michael.

And it has to be said that Michael is indeed a master at understanding the other party's psychology. He could see Carlo's fear, so he attacked his weak points and gave him bait - but we can also see that since Michael came back from Sicily, ever since he told Kai that he had never killed anyone, he had Lying has become commonplace.

With Carlo offline, Michael became a god in one battle and took over most of the power of the Bazzini and Tartaglia families.

In addition, there are many victims mentioned in the book - Bazzini's two highest-ranking law enforcers; horse racing brokers; moneylenders on the waterfront, etc.

Part 4: Cleaning up the mess

After the plot development, the movie and the book merged together.

Connie ran back madly and began to scold Michael, trying to expose Michael's hypocrisy in front of Kai.

Here, in the movie, Michael's questioning of Kay is patience-fury-calmness-coaxing; while in the movie, Michael directly uses emotions to deceive the other party from the beginning: " Of course not. Please believe me , this time I allow you to ask about my affairs, and I am willing to give you an answer. ”

This makes me even feel that Michael in the book is more terrifying, but at the same time, he also seems to understand emotions better.

Afterwards, Clemenza and others came to express their loyalty, and Kai understood everything-here, the movie ends, and the eighth part of the book also comes to an end.

So how did Kai return to Michael after this? There is no answer in the

movie, but the ninth part in the book provides an in-depth explanation. We will explain this last part in detail tomorrow, bringing a successful conclusion to the comparison between the original book and the movie of "The Godfather".
