The daring of Part II is that it enlarges the scope and deepens the meaning of the first film. Visually, Part II is far more completely beautiful than the fist, just as it's thematically richer, more shadowed, fuller.
If the first film could be considered to glorify violence and organized crime, this one shows the consequences of that life. It also serves as a thinly veiled metaphor for American capitalism and its destructive effect on family, cultural heritage, community identity and morality.

Here's the translation and expanded version in English:"The Godfather" remains an unparalleled cinematic masterpiece that has stood the test of time. Even after several decades, its brilliance remains undimmed, solidifying its status as one of the greatest films ever made. The compelling storytelling, exceptional performances, and masterful direction continue to captivate audiences across generations, proving that true artistry in filmmaking is indeed timeless.

It is even better than the first film, and has the greatest single final scene in Hollywood history, a real coup de cinéma.
Cinematographer Willis superbly captures the turn-of-the-century period, applying a seriographic tint to flashback scenes for a softer, richer look than the sharp image of the ongoing contemporary story.

And with supporting roles from the likes of Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall and Lee Strasberg, to say nothing of Roger Corman and Harry Dean Stanton in bit parts, this is nothing short of magisterial.
Al Pacino again is outstanding as Michael Corleone, successor to crime family leadership.

FULL REVIEW
The only remarkable thing about Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, Part II is the insistent manner in which it recalls how much better his original film was...Even if Part II were a lot more cohesive, revealing, and exciting than it is, it probably would have run the risk of appearing to be the self-parody it now seems.
One of the best movies ever made better than the first one, and my favorite in the trilogy.

What is the point of killing everyone.Mike hates his own family too. He killed his own Brother.I do miss Vito Carleone. If he is still there, their family would live together in harmony.Mike **** as a Don. He don't know how to deal with things.Living alone wont make you a Don. It will always be Vito Carleone.
