In "The Godfather", why is Corleone loved by so many people, but Michael is abandoned by everyone?

The life of the second-generation godfather was a lonely life, a life that was not understood. Even if he is powerful enough to have the ability to be respected and feared, he cannot control his own life. A top student in the Ivy League, who was honorably discharged from the army and won the Navy Cross. Originally, the godfather had a bright road ahead of him, where he could live a carefree life. If he wanted to share the burden for his family, he could also rely on his family's ability to run for senator or governor. No matter what, the godfather himself would not have thought that in the future he would be a man with blood on his hands, who would order the death of someone who betrayed his own brother, and who would have his wife separated from him. Who could have thought that one day his fair and slender fingers would be covered in blood, and he would be forever doomed.

But fate is unpredictable. The first-generation godfather was assassinated. The eldest brother Santino was shot to death. The second brother Fredo was stupid and weak. The safe haven was no longer there. The second-generation godfather was ordered to take charge of the entire family. Development mission, there is no turning back from now on.

He hated violence, but he had to order the killing of his enemies when he came to power; he wanted to protect his family all his life, but his wife and children were separated; he devoted his life to clearing himself and legitimizing the family business, but in As he climbed up, he gradually lost confidence and discovered that those high-ranking politicians were just a bunch of rabble. Those people were darker than him. Their attitude towards the godfather was contemptuous, and they only wanted to exploit him and play with him. Among them, gangsters are Mike's destiny.

The godfather wanted to protect his family all his life. He gave up his ideals and betrayed the vow he made to his wife Kay when he was young to never touch the family business. He just wants to protect the people around him and clear up his family's dark history, but in exchange for this, his wife is afraid of him, his family doesn't understand him, and the powerful enemies around him are eyeing him.

Some things, once you fall into them, will be a bottomless abyss. You will struggle, reflect, move forward, and despair at the same time.

In the last scene of the movie, Mike returns to his old house in Sicily. Under the sunset, the old man presses his lips tightly and sits alone on a wicker chair in the yard wearing sunglasses. He is trapped in life. In the memories of some of the best moments in my life, I died alone.
