Any hot take from the mind that gave the world the series finale of How I Met Your Mother is going to take more than a grain of salt from me.

@CarterBays I love your interpretation and disagree with it completely. Michael is corrupted by the mafia, by power, by criminality, to the point he will kill his own helpless brother in the name of avenging some past wrong. That is the twisted mafia code he follows. -
I disagree with all of the above. it's the killing of Sollozzo and McCluskey that initiates Michael into the family business; it literally leads to a forced exile to his ancestral homeland

@CarterBays Same thing with his sister's husband (name?) No mercy. There is no honor. They betray each other, rat to the police, etc. There is only force, and Michael embraces that, so in the end, he rules but is alone. -
Yeah, I think that's closer to the mark.

This was Roger Ebert's take--and critique--of Part II:https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-godfather-part-ii-1974 …

A good deal of GFII is devoted to deromanticizing the Sicilian mafia. They murder Vito's mother!

Definitely interesting, but the movies make clear (Tessio, Carlo, Fredo) the Mafia code is a venal gloss plenty of members dispose of easily.

The implication is that it used to be possible to rise in the mob following a code and having a real family, but nowadays this is impossible. The first movie turns on a bad business decision by family man Vito: he refuses to enter the drug trade for moral reasons.
