The God Father

In class I watched the movie The God Father.  This movie is about a Sicilian family in the 1950’s New York that is part of the mafia.  This movie shows in depth about how the family works and does their business.  The main character in this movie is Michael Corleone who is the youngest son of Don Corleone.  Over the course of the movie you learn that family comes before anything but family can also betray you.  The movie showed how the Don of the family could not refuse any offer on his daughters wedding day.  For this reason people would wait online to ask for favors from him.  

After watching the movie I learned a couple of new things.  One of those things was that money is good to have but is not worth giving up certain things.  I learned that doing illegal business will wind up bad one way or the either for example when Sonny got killed.  From now I am going to look at life in a new perspective and realize money and illegal power is nothing.  The biggest thing I have realized is that people may seem to like you when you can benefit them but once that ends everyone forgets who you are.

Shindlers List

            Over the weekend I saw a great movie named Shindlers List.  The movie was about a man named Oscar Shindler who was from the Czech Republic.  Oscar was a wealthybusiness man living in Germany during the course of the Second World War.  He wanted to take Jews and make them work for him by building items for the German army, and this would make him a killing and he would considered a war profiteer.  After Oscar was witnessing what the Germans where doing for to the Jewish people he decided to help. Over the course of the war Oscar saved 1200 Jewish people from death.  Oscar spent every dollar he had bribing Germans to let Jewish people live and by the end of the war he was poor. 

            This movie had brought tears to my eyes.  I learned that saving lives is the best joy and thrill a person can have.  Oscar showed me the no matter what the situation is you can always help someone any time.  I believe that this movie has shown me the right way to be to people and showed me money means nothing compared to human lives.
