The Difference Between Michael and Vito - 05/14/04 10:52 PM
Now we all know equally, there are many..and I mean MANY differences between the father and the son. But there is one big difference that made Vito good and Michael bad.
Vito was Don to help and Michael was Don to earn.
I don't remember one time, a man came to Michael asking for something and Micheal helping them out all the way. Michael just was not like his father in that way. He grew up watching all the money his father earned and all the respect his father got and Michael fell in love with that. Now his brothers did also but Michael always saw the business from a far. And while he always said he would never be part of the famnily, he always envied his father in that way.
You can kind of see this in GF3 when Don Tommansino dies, Michael says to the corpse, "Why were you so loved, and I so feared". He wanted to be like his father so much, being loved, protecting his family and being strong but he just never had the magic that he wanted or the magic his father thought he had.
But Vito, he began the family by killing the "black hand" and helping little old ladies get a home. Who here thinks that Michael would ever help a little old lady get a home? That is one thing that none of the brothers ever truly had, Vito's love.
Feel free to post comments on this.
