[FION WEEKONE] CLASS ACT

In the movie, there are different aspects which foreshadow Michael would become the next godfather.

1) When the brothers were sitting in the room planning on the revenge on Sollozzo, Michael sat at a position like his father where his hands were rested on the sides of the chair. Moreover, everyone was looking at him and paying close attention to him just like their attitudes to the godfather.

2) When Michael was talking to Sollozzo, the filming angle camera-ing at Sollozzo from Michael's shoulder is the same as the angle in the beginning of the movie where the godfather was talking to Bonasera
----------------------------------------------------
When Luca Brasi was walking into the bar ready to have a conversation with Sollozzo who is the head of the opposing family, there was fish in the tank displaying as a background. Unexpectedly, a loose paper package that the Coleone family recieve amongst is a dead fish implying that"Luca Brasi now sleeps with the fishes." This is a a metaphor as saying Luca Brasi is dead like the dead fish they recieved.

Evidently, from these two situations Mario Puzo is interested in using different literary terms so that the story line would seem more connected and thought-provoking.
