1892. Don vito corleone, a godfather, was born in Corleone, Sicily. In fact, his name was not Vito Antonini at that time.
190 1 year, Vito's father was assassinated for offending the local mafia boss. Vito's brother Paul wanted to avenge his father, but but before he could conquer, he was dead. Vito's mother found the mafia boss and begged him to let Vito go. She was also brutally killed by the mafia.
Even so, the mafia still refused to let go of little Vito, and sent people to look for Vito everywhere.
Finally, with the help of relatives, Vito escaped from the town and boarded the ferry to the United States, leaving his hometown for a strange country.
When he entered the customs, Vito didn't understand English at all, so officials registered Vito's name in the town of Corleone, where he was born. No one expected that this would be the starting point of the Corleone family, which would dominate the party in the future.
At this time, Vito was only 9 years old.
With his indomitable character, Vito survived in America. Work in a dessert shop to make a living.
18 years old, Vito married an Italian girl who was only 16 years old and also came from Sicily.
19 17, they welcomed their first child, a boy, named San Tino Corleone. Later, he had a second son, Fredo Corleone, a third son, Michael Corleone, and a daughter, Connie Corleone.
In Vito's residential area, there is a local snake named Fanucci. If you want to make a living here, you must pay protection money to Fanucci. Vito also lost his job in the dessert shop because of Fanucci.
Later, Vito met a friend who was on the street and began to steal. So Fanucci found Vito and asked them to draw for themselves.
And this has also become the fuse for Van Nucci to lead himself to death. On a holy day, Vito assassinated Fanucci through the noise in the street.
After that, Vito became a prominent local figure.
Unlike Fanucci, he doesn't charge the so-called protection fee, but he helps others everywhere and stands for others. But Vito is not the Holy Father and Virgin Mary. His creed is that I really treat you today and I need your wholehearted return in the future.
People are getting used to coming to Vito for help when they encounter problems that they can't solve. Vito is becoming more and more like a big brother. Meanwhile, Vito also adopted a child named Tom Hagen.
At first, Vito was engaged in the serious business of olive oil, a specialty of Sicily in his hometown. Later, he started to engage in casino business with his brothers, and gained huge profits. He had his own gang and became the overlord.
Although Vito's income has a lot of gray elements, he never does anything unnatural, such as drug trafficking, even if the income is high, he will not touch it.
After a successful career, Vito returned to Sicily, where he was born, and accomplished a great event, killing the former mafia boss and revenging his father, mother and brother.
Since then, the glory of a generation of godfathers has begun. The Corleone family became one of the five families.
1939 World War II started, and then 194 1 year1February Pearl Harbor was attacked, and the United States entered the war. At his father's birthday party, his third son, Mike, announced that he would join the navy. Everyone opposed the decision, and only his second brother, Fredo, expressed his support.
1945 At the end of World War II, vito corleone's daughter Connie held a grand wedding. Mike, the son who joined the army, also retired and returned home with his new girlfriend.
Vito, who is in his fifties, is not only the leader of the Corleone family, but also the leader of the gang. Vito is the first person people think of when they are in trouble. In fact, people prefer to call him the godfather.
At that time, it was the tug-of-war between the five families. A drug Lord, at the behest of the Tattaglia family, proposed to do business with the Corleone family, but Vito refused. He has never been exposed to drugs in his life. So the drug Lord sent someone to assassinate Vito, which almost killed him.
After Vito was hospitalized, the police released all the guards in the hospital, creating conditions for the next assassination. Fortunately, Mike saved the scene in time, and the assassin didn't find a chance to do it.
In a rage, Vito's eldest son, Santino, fought back and killed the Tattaglia's eldest son, and the two families became completely hostile.
The drug Lord wanted to ask Mike out to talk, so Mike played along and killed the drug Lord and the accompanying sheriff in the negotiated restaurant. After that, he left the United States and returned to his hometown of Sicily-Corleone to take shelter from the wind.
But in Sicily, Mike was not idle, and married a beautiful local girl as his wife.
However, it didn't last long. Mike's whereabouts were discovered, his bodyguard was bribed, a bomb was installed in the car, and Mike's wife took a box lunch for him.
The eldest son, Santino, was betrayed by his brother-in-law, fell into a trap and was beaten into a sieve.
Vito was heartbroken that the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, but he did not advocate revenge, but urged everyone to make peace with the Tattaglia family.
So under the organization of another big family patriarch, Basini, the five families sat together and turned the enmity into business. When the two families laughed, they both took a step back, while the drug business gradually infiltrated into the system of the five families.
Vito realized that Tattaglia was just an accomplice behind the scenes, and Barzini was the black hand who wanted to kill himself because he blocked the drug business.
Mike, who retired for many years, returned to the United States at this time and got back together with his former girlfriend Kay. With the death of the eldest son and the failure of the second son, Vito naturally passed on his mantle to his favorite third son, Mike.
1954, Vito Corleone died in his backyard, completing his legendary life.
Next is the story of the second generation godfather, Michael Corleone.
After Mike took the helm, facing the formidable enemy Bassini, he adopted the strategy of avoiding its sharp edge, temporarily retreated to Las Vegas, recovered his family's former industry, and hid his strength and saved his strength.
After the baptism of his son Anthony, Mike made his own revenge plan. He killed his father's subordinates who defected to Bassini, killed Bassini, killed the leaders of the other five families and killed his brother-in-law.
1958, under the leadership of Mike, the influence of the Corleone family increased. However, the promise that I promised my wife to legalize the family business has not yet been fully realized. Mike has also made many attempts and invested money in public welfare undertakings. But still can't get away from the underworld.
On a quiet night, the house where Mike, his wife and children were located was strafed by submachine guns. Although no casualties were caused, the assassination left Mike's young children in a state of fear.
What Mike didn't expect was that the manipulator behind this assassination turned out to be Hyman Ross, a long-term partner of his family.
Hymanlos's business in Cuba is booming. He also invited Mike to invest in Cuba, and Mike almost invested his $2 million in Cuban projects. But at this time, the situation in Cuba was turbulent, and Mike stopped in time.
Of course, more importantly, he found out the truth and knew that Ross was the black hand who assassinated himself. At the same time, he also discovered the secret of his second brother's affair with Ross. From then on, I no longer associate with it.
Mike's bigger crisis comes from the accusation of his gang identity, which is naturally caused by Ross.
However, Mike still managed to settle the key witness and let the other party commit suicide through lobbying.
Then he sent someone to assassinate Ross, who had just returned to China. Sweep down your biggest enemy.
But for Mike, the hatred is not over yet. He promised that his mother would not touch his second brother when she was alive. When my mother died, it was time for my second brother who betrayed me to die.
Mike's thunderous tactics did help the Corleone family stand firm, but it also fragmented the family, and finally his wife could no longer stand his behavior and left him.
As a result, Mike lost his father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, brother-in-law and wife. A broken family is supported by one person. He was left with only his widow sister Connie.
1979, Mike moved back to new york, and his son and daughter were all grown up. Mike also thought of his wife Kay and wanted to invite her home.
Mike has basically completed the legalization of the family business. The last link is to win the control of the "Standing" group through the network of contacts in the Vatican, and his historical mission will be completed.
However, what makes him helpless is that his own son Anthony is inspired to devote himself to art and has no intention to intervene in the family business. Mike then intends to cultivate Vincent, the illegitimate child of his eldest brother San Tino.
Vincent is as grumpy as his father, but his courage is unparalleled. Mike took a fancy to him and kept him around to set him up personally.
Joey, Vincent's former boss, was not a good person either. He killed at a gang party, and a room full of bosses died. Thanks to Vincent's protection, Mike was able to escape.
Mike originally wanted to make peace and put business first, but during his illness and coma, Vincent personally killed Joey. Vincent firmly believed that Joey was a scourge and could not be tolerated.
Although Vincent is reckless, he is the most hardcore figure in the family except himself. It's just that Vincent and his daughter are now in an overly close and dangerous relationship.
Mike wanted to transfer the power of the Corleone family to Vincent, but on the condition that he had to leave his daughter, and Vincent agreed. From then on, Vincent had his father's surname-Corleone.
Back in the plot, it is Antobello who really plays puppet games behind the scenes, pretending to be fragile. He manipulated Joey to kill a bunch of bosses, and of course wanted to catch Mike all at once. At the same time, he played financial games and ruined the great cause of Mike Holding's "Stand Up" group. Even after an attempted assassination, he bought another murder. Prepare to kill Mike's son when he gives a performance.
Vincent was personally responsible for the safety of the theater, but he kept it a secret and let the killer shoot the bullet at the last minute. The bullet was originally aimed at Mike, but it hit the children with Mike.
Mike was heartbroken, so he washed his hands and never asked about the Jianghu again. To some extent, his present situation is all his own making. I have worked hard all my life to turn my relatives into one tool after another, and my life into one business after another. When I want to repent, I don't know where to start.
At the end of the story, Vincent became the third generation godfather. And Mike retired from his old age and died alone, completing his last life journey in Corleone, Sicily.
A legend begins here and a legend ends here.
