This blog aims to talk about the transformation of Michael Corleone’s life from a man who is not interested in the family business to the satanic mafia boss. Michael Corleone who was a Marine in World War II is the youngest Vito’s son. His character seemed to be polite and calm, and he had a girlfriend, Kay Adams. In the first part of the movie, Michael loved and gave Kay politeness, and he always took care of his love. Although he tried to be a normal man, there was a changing point. The family’s enemies attacked by shooting his father, Don Vito Corleone, so Vito got to a hospital. After Michael had known, he went to the hospital and saw only his father. And then, the enemies dealt with the local policemen for taking the second assassination in the hospital by clearing all people out of the hospital and sending the shooters to kill Vito again. However, Michael was conscious of this situation and protected Vito just in time. This was Michael’s first turning point because he had known that not everyone respected his family even the policemen. He began to know that he had to protect and take care of his family from the enemies by changing his mind first.
After that, the Corleone’s members were attacked and killed by the enemies from the help of the judases.
For his girlfriend, Kay Adams, she began to get the impolite action from Michael.

That is the way of The Godfather.
