《The Godfather》读后感(一):教父的教诲
1.Society imposes insults that must be borne,comforted by the knowledge that in this world there comes a time when the most humble men,if he keeps his eyes open,can take his revenge on the most powerful.It was this knowledge that prevented the Don from losing the humility all his friends admired in him.(P14)
2.The Don always taught that when a man was generous,he must show the generisity as personal.(P20)
3.It was rare that Don Corleone showed exasperation. A man who is not a father to his children can never be a real man. Who says you can`t live your life exactly as you want to live it.(P38)
4.Friendship is everything.Friendship is more than talent.It is more than goverment.It is almost the equal of family.Never forget that.(P39)
5.Godfather had never said such and such a thing could be done without having it done. I`ll make him an offer he can`t refuse.(P40)
6.Never get angry.Never make a threat.Reason with people.(P63)
7.Sonny said."I don`t think so but I have to be careful.Right?"(P100)
8.You never could tell what might happen and these matters were,after all,questions of life and death.(P123)
9.Michael laughed."We can talk ourselves into any viewpoint",But we figured it right the first time .I`ve been riding the gravy train all my life,it`s about time I paid my dues.
quot;Tom,don`t let anybody kid you.It`s all personal,every bit of business.Every piece of shit every man has to eat every day of his life is personal.They call it business."
Tom hagen turned away."I`ll tell you one thing you did`t learn from him:talking the way you`re talking now.There are things that have to be done and you do them and you never talk about them.You don`t try to justify them.They can`t be justified.You just do them.Then you forget it."(P179)
10.It was from this experience came his oft-repeated belief that every man has but one destiny.(P250)
11.He never uttered a threat.He always used logic that proved to be irresistible.He always made certain that the other fellow got his share of profit.Nobody lost.(P265)
12.But great man are not born great,they grow great,and so it was with Vito Corleone.(P266)
13.He claimed that there was no greater natural advantage in life than having an enemy overestimate your faults,unless it was to have a friend underestimate your virtues.(P276)
14.It was a pattern he was to see often,the Don helping those in misfortune whose misfortune he had partly created.Not perhaps out of cunning or planning but because of his variety of interests or perhaps beacause of the nature of the universe,the interlinking of good and evil,nature of itself.(P498)
15.Nobody can tell Mike what to do.(P503)
16.You can not say "no" to the people you love,not often.That`s the secret.And then when you do,it has to sound like a "yes".Or you have to make them say "no".You have to take time and trouble.But I`m old-fashioned,you`re the new modern generation,don`t listen to me.
quot;Revenge is a dish that tastes best when it is cold."(P514)
《The Godfather》读后感(二):read it again
After a few years at some moment i picked this book up again.I remember the scene i first read it in my law school days when i hadn't watch the film. The book pulled me into a wonderful world. I admired the Gofather and liked Michel very much who are real men with balls.
Many words still leave in my mind. The most impressive scene is that day the Godfater died who went to his garden playing with his grandson, when he lied down to the ground he saw the flowers of bean. How beatiful the world is!
ever let anyone outside the family knows what you are thinking in your mind!
ever let anyone knows what's under your snails.
The brains ang courage are the most necessary in life but few men really have both of them.
《The Godfather》读后感(三):A few lessons learnt from Godfather
Michale, at the very beginning of the book, sat with his Yankee girl, Kay, at the edge corner of Connie's wedding. Obviously, he didn't want to get involved into his father's, the great godfather's, business. Maybe this is also Don's wish as we can read in the book. Don, and later Mike as well, had always wished that his son or grandson could be a lawyer or a doctor or even the President. As he put "A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns."
Mike, who went against Don's will, fighted for those "strangers", which thought by Don, in WWII. After that, he went to Dartmouth, away from his family in NYC, and had an Yankee girl instead of a Sicily one. It seems Mike chose a path as a good Yankee guy. Until he found the Old Don was left alone and was clearly set up in the hospital late in the night, after he had sex with his girl.
From a guy just wanted to stick along with his Yankee girl (lied to his family that he was out of town, just to spend one more romantic night with his girl; claimed to see old Don in the hospital just because that's the only way to escape from the mall and reunion, again, with his girl) to a guy killed the Turk and Police captain, for his family instead of his smashed and disfigured face. And eventually to became the new Don--Mike the Don, respected and feared by his caporeigimes and other Families all over the States as well.
ut what changed Mike?
Undoubtedly, it was the blood flows in Mike's vein. It was, if not, his one and only destiny. As godfather always mentioned "A man has only one destiny." Mike could not let Sollozzo, the Turk, have another crack at the old man, and the Corleone Family as well. While no one in the family could face up to the throat-cutting challenge. Sonny, a hot tempered and imprudent tough guy, failed to be a qualified Don. Fredo, so shocked by witnessing his father to be shoot, turned out to be a lady's man. Tom, the only equally cunning guy to Mike, unfortunately and unfairly was not trusted enough just because he doesn't possess the Sicilian blood.
Mike, on the other hand, is a perfect inherent to the Old Don, although doubted at first by his fellow men, and even betrayed by Tessio, his beliked caporegime. "Revenge is a dish best severd cold." That's why Mike bid his time and gave an all-out lighting war (or Blitzkrieg) against every single enemy at one single night. From Fabrizzio, who betrayed Mike and caused the death of his first Sicilian wife, to the two big Families, who waged the war against the Corleone Family.
Ironically, the reason why Mike could accomplish such a feat without being scared of a new wave of revenge and lawsuit was because of the political influence.
“But my father was the only one who understood that political connections and power are worth ten regimes.”
They, the Corleone Family, actually had more faith in the world than the underworld. Although in the very beginning when the old Don started his biz, he gave no damn to the law. He killed the bully after figuring out he has no true influence.
“Michael Corleone understood for the first time why men like his father chose to become thieves and murderers rather than members of the legal society. The poverty and fear and degradation were too awful to be acceptable to any man of spirit. And in America some emigrating Sicilians had assumed there would be an equally cruel authority.”
If the government says yes to gamble, prostitute or even some kinds of drugs? Then, what’s the purpose for the existence of these Families? That’s why they want their progeny to have a decent job instead of being a mafia.
In today’s China, where bribery is so rampant, these kind of underworld should also exists. The book showed us, especially young people, how to survive in such a society. After all, reason with people and make more friends are the golden rules. Cause not so many people could die with the utter “Life is so beautiful!” Not even the old cunning Consigliere.
《The Godfather》读后感(四):A classic
The rating is for my sweet memory. This was the first original English book I read, and I still vividly remember the scene in which Michael went to the hospital and found nobody was guarding his father, his heart was pounding as he thought about what to do the next... It was an inspiration for me because that was the first time I really could enjoy a book written in a different language. The godfather is a classic.
《The Godfather》读后感(五):仅此纪念
十几年前的高一暑假看的这本,还写了长长的读书笔记作为作业交上去。印象最深刻的还是教父的教导:朋友是最重要的,甚至比父母家庭妻子都重要。在古惑仔的年纪自然把这个奉为金科玉律,倒确实保持了几个20年的朋友。
其实那书写的甚是生动,事隔多年,还记得里面的若干镜头:
比如开场桑迪偷情那段,那个时候还不认识thigh这个单词还去查了下,恩silk thigh,很好很强大。
比如michael杀人那段,把枪先藏好,然后过去取出来,开枪爆头。
还有养子玩弄女歌迷,教父的得力干将被虐杀,桑迪被枪杀那几段,那些描写虽然只是文字,但是想起来却和放电影一样历历在目。
当然不得不提到michael和他ex的最后一眼,那个时候倒是没什么感触,不就是一次分离而已。现在回想起来,才学会理解ex的不幸是爱上了教父的儿子,而michael的不幸也是身为家族的儿子而且大厦将倾。
至于电影,唯一有印象的倒只是胖子的手被一刀扎在桌子上然后勒死了,其他一概不记得。
我向来比较喜欢文字给予的那种充分的想象空间吧,其实大学时候从porn的鉴赏里我已经发现这种爱好了。
《The Godfather》读后感(六):这世界不只有一套游戏规则
这本《The Godfather》 断断续续的读了很久,终于前两天把它读完了,读完的时候那不必说非常的有成就感,这类小说对于我有一种不可抗拒的魔力,就如同曾经的武侠小说对我的吸引力一般。
这种小说的一个法宝就是其描写了一个险为人知的社会。黑帮,这个隐藏在暗处,却又是真实存在的世界,通过这部小说让我们得以一窥。在小说的世界里,人们并不用法律解决问题,人们遵循古老的法则来解决问题。比如“以眼还眼”,虽然残忍,但是公平。当谈判无法解决问题时,就用实力来解决问题。这是一种原始而有效的方法。黑帮的丛林法则大致和中国武侠小说中的江湖相近,但联系江湖人之间的纽带是义气,而黑帮则是用金钱。在《The Godfather》中,一个家族相当于一个不受法律约束的企业。
教父是一个几乎完美的人,也是作者几乎刻画完美的人。更绝的是,马龙-白兰度在教父电影里也演的近乎完美。教父和国家领导人,和企业家一样,充满了睿智,甚至可以说是一个圣人。在我看来,教父的最致命的地方是他能够获得他人的尊重。他能够得到他人的信任和爱戴。杀人机器路卡臣服于他的脚下,两位得力助手一直跟随在他左右。教父当然还有一些其他的属性:冷静,有时候更是一种冷酷; 善于谈判,教父当然拥有强大的暴力,但他会坐下来和对方理论,他希望通过谈判来解决问题。只在面对不可理喻的对手时才采取暴力; 有极强的注意细节能力。在教父make his bond时,他可以推断出那个混混不过是独狼一只,狐假虎威的恐吓社区的人罢了。他也看得出他的女婿不是一个可用之才;教父树立起了一个帝国,但他的本意只是为了保护自己在这片陌生的土地上生存下去。他出生贫穷,但心地善良。可以说是有求必应。
当 Michael 继承父业时,这位拥有其父亲品质的年轻人,在以牙还牙之后把自己的事业洗白了,曾经辉煌一时的家族事业也成为了过去。
《The Godfather》读后感(七):短评教父 - The Offer That You Cannot Refuse
听过小说,不过还是电影比较出名。
慕名已久的教父终于今晚抽了时间看完。
这部1972年拍摄的电影形象地勾勒除了二战之后美苏争霸后留下的世间百态,已经雪释一些的冷战在苏联的节节败退后在美国国内引起的争议和斐然是不提的了。这时候涌现的文化是党内斗争还党间斗争。那么我说教父是一本百科全书,用艺术手法表现了典型黑社会如何利用政治筹码和经济手段不断上位提升地位。那么教父中的黑手党则是以家族形式出现,偏重始终强调的是家族的利益在一切利益之上,最后收尾的时候却是迈克将自己的妻子关在了门外,严重充满了野心和极大的自信。
但我觉得,无论什么样的offer 从自身利益出发 The family is the last one to neglect.
眼看下一集如何进行。
