[FION WEEK TWO]The Human Condition[POST ONE]

So, today we have finished watching the godfather; it has a very interesting closing scene where Neri shuts the door and Kay (women) is outside the door positioned as an outsider.

A very violent scene happened: Barzini, Phillip Tattaglia, Moe Greene, Strachi and Cuneo were killed on the day of the meeting under the orders of Michael. Unquestionably, it’s immoral to kill people, however, if Michael did not kill the heads of the families, it was expected that during the meeting he would be assassinated (as the Vito Chloleone informed Michael abt it when they were having the conservation in the garden). Also, the death of the 5 heads of the family signifies an expansion in the Chloleone's business. Therefore, for his own benefit and the safety of his family and himself, he must kill the heads of the 5 families. I think this illuminate some truth about human condition: people sacrifice others for their own benefits.

The relationship between the heads of the 5 families and Michael reminds me of the Cold-War when the two powerful countries, the United States and Russia both possessed a massive amounts of nuclear-bonds. The tension was strong because they wouldn't know when their country is going to be attack by nuclear-bonds by their opponent. Similar to this cold war situation, Michael is unsure when he will be killed, so he decided to kill them all before they act. This can ensure his family and his own safety and an expansion in the Chloleone's business.
