How To Secure Absolute Power

Описание: How To Secure Absolute Power. Watch as MICHAEL CORLEONE evolves into THE GODFATHER in this critical scene from Frances Ford Coppola's cinematic masterpiece.

Michael’s at the baptism, and the irony is already setting in. He’s standing as godfather to his nephew, looking solemn and composed. But while we’re here in the church, in a split second, we cut to the streets. Watch closely—Michael’s rivals are being systematically assassinated. The church bells are ringing, the priest asks Michael to renounce Satan, and, at the same time, his orders are being carried out. The contrast is chilling.

You can see it on Michael’s face—he’s calm, completely detached. While his hands seem clean, blood is being spilled in his name. As the priest pours holy water on the baby’s head, one by one, his enemies fall. This moment captures the transformation—Michael has fully embraced his role as the new Godfather, but at the cost of his own soul. The way Coppola cuts between the sacred and the violent is masterful—it’s the perfect visual metaphor for Michael’s duality, showing us just how far he’s willing to go to secure his power.
