political theme in the Godfather
The Godfather’s Michael Corleone and King Henry V of Henry V seemingly have nothing to do with each other to the ordinary viewer. ... The theme that can be clearly seen here is one of reformation. ... Both had to learn how to become efficient political strategists in order to survive in the games that which they were involved. ... The fear can be seen all over Michael’s face in certain parts of the movie, The Godfather, fear and doubt that he is doing the right thing by not involving his family into the drug business, fear for his father’s life, doubt that he is even in the right place in life as Don.
