He and Mike's father are old comrades in arms. Do you remember the godfather 1 Mike finally killed the black-rimmed Moglin? They are all from the old godfather generation. Haimen Ross is a clever Jew. He is an ally of Mike on the surface, secretly hurting Mike for his own benefit. The Godfather 2 didn't confront Mike head-on, except that Haimen Ross was killed in the end. They all fought bravely in the dark, trying to shoot Mike at the beginning and assassinate Frank in the middle. This man, an old fox!
Secondly, Fredo's question:
He is a person who has no talent, no ability and can't eat the rest. The most terrible thing is that he doesn't understand the principle interests, but he is kind and naive at heart. People who have no principled position are easily pushed around, and that's what Fredo is like. He never wanted to hurt Mike. He loves his brother very much, but he is always used. Mike was speechless with him.
Bearded old man Frank:
He used to be the defense lawyer of the old godfather, not as good as Clemenza, Tessio and Tom Hagen. He was "unkind" to Mike, not because of his bad relationship, but because the Corleone family leaders promised that after leaving new york, the authorities would allow him to set up his own business. Mike didn't allow it. That's why Frankie came, that's what they discussed, so on the surface, he looked angry. In a word, he is a good man and a loyal veteran.
Again, the remaining questions:
The Godfather's Core Values: Interests and Principles. Everything revolves around this. Mike doesn't want Frankie to be independent, because it is necessary for him to keep an alliance with Frankie new york for his own benefit. The final winner is Mike. He killed the biggest enemy, Haimenros, and successfully killed Frankie, so there would be no tainted witness. He also successfully killed his brother, which defended the core values of the family group to some extent. But compared with his father, Mike is also a loser.
