My views about the film Godfather
Why did I like the film Godfather? I liked it because the film was basically about family. It highlighted the rule that one should never betray any member of one's own family. It talked about the importance of blood relations. Very rarely do we witness any person betraying his own blood. But sometimes we do come across cases where a person betrays his blood. In such a case that one person should be punished. But my question is what do you do to that family in which one person is betrayed by the entire rest of his family? Who is at fault in such a case? According to me that one person is on the right and the entire rest of his family is on the wrong. So it is the entire rest of the family, and not that one person, who needs to be punished. I know you extremely rarely get to see such a case. But if such a case does arise then that one person who is betrayed should be considered as on the right. Godfather is a movie which talks about a criminal family. But the best thing is even in a criminal family no member of that family betrays his own blood. He may betray an outsider but never his own blood. That sacred is the thing called blood relation. You find almost every person, whether in a legal or criminal family, respecting his or her own blood. There is no greater crime than back stabbing your own blood relative. It is true that in Mahabharata, blood brothers go dead against one another. One group of brothers who believed in truth, honesty and justice prevail over their opposing group of brothers who believe in lies, corruption, deceit and all the other things that are evil. The epic rightly ends with righteous Pandavas scoring the ultimate victory over corrupt Kauravas. That's all I want to tell you today. I'll pass on more thoughts and feelings of mine very soon. Till then, bye!

I agree with Dinesh that no man should betray his own blood. That's a natural law.
