The Godfather 2 is rightly considered one of the best sequels of all time and, in contrast to his predecessor with a very dark, cold Atmosphere. It will take turns telling two approaches, which are especially character development assistance. After the death of Don Vito Corleone, now managed by his son Michael Corleone family business and try to win all the important negotiations for themselves while eliminate his enemies. After Communion celebration of his son, Michael would like to buy some casinos in Las Vegas, a Senator must be convinced that demands over-priced concessions. Even more important is the acquisition of several hotels and a collaboration with the prestigious criminal Hyman Roth. are exposed to when Michael and his wife in the evening an assassination attempt, Michael realized that Roth assassinate him would like to have and at the same time is a traitor in the family. But first he keeps his calm personality and pretends to be ignorant and to continue to work with Roth want to kill him can. Roth also does not remain passive and manipulated a subordinate of the Corleone family, who now thinks that Michael had wanted to execute him and now wants to appear as witnesses in judicial proceedings. Unfortunately complicates the rebellion in Cuba, the disposal Roth. As Michael Corleone's flourishing business, increasingly, his greatest adversary slowly succumbs to his control, he loses his personality and more humanity. His family, he sees only occasionally, his wife had an alleged miscarriage and would like to part with it, what Michael will not allow under any circumstances. Particularly distressing is the development of his only surviving brother, Fredo, who worked in the first part mentally unstable, but now increasingly unintelligent and its Navität even Michael dangerous. But he also has reasons that make his behavior seem sympathetic and understandable. During Michael's father, Vito Corleone, the family of the core asset held, this is now in tatters and Michael is already so emotionally stunted that he would act in an emergency, even against his own family.
The second act deals with Don Vito Corleone (played by Robert De Niro), the murder of his family, his escape and integration in the Americas and the slow emergence as Don. The viewer learns what circumstances he was involved in the business, experienced the birth of his sons and the subsequent revenge for his family. This information can affect the sponsor act very friendly and also thinking of the first part, when this is seen again. Scenes such as the birth of Sonny's, which for the first time crying act, very authentic and melancholy, considering his death in the first part and the later familial relationships between the family and future events. The Godfather 2 acts by Michaels increasing change and the collapse of the family is very bleak, as evidenced by the mood of the permanent danger, in contrast to the flashbacks, even more impact. The camera settings and the presentation of some scenes look like in the first part unique. My personal favorite scene, which was used as a menu of the Blu Ray is how Michael is lonely and pensive in front of the window, overlooking the lake and the arrival of Don Vito Corleone in America. The background music is also very well done and the main theme, which was recorded in the first part almost too often, is here integrated matching. Unfortunately, the third part of the continuous perfection of the first parts do not deliver what it does but definitely not a bad film. The expectation was very high and considered objectively, it is still good for a film that is unfortunately overshadowed by his predecessor, and has some deductions in the atmosphere and presentation. From a bad movie, but definitely not the case.
