		Presiding over the wedding of his daughter Connie (Shire) Vito is also determining which of his three sons should lead the Corleones when his day is done.
		When Don Vito Corleone dies Michael completes his ascension to the family's throne with Tom's devotion and his own wily instincts as one who's tasted the legitimate American dream but was forced to relinquish his fantasies and protect his own.
		As a result their script and Coppola's resulting film give the viewer a sense of the Corleone enterprise as being like any other story of pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps successes with the exception that the family's pursuits are decidedly illegitimate.

		The first direction concerns young Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) growing up in Sicily under the shadow of a local crime lord and is then forced to migrate to New York in the early 1900s.
		Where the elder Vito Corleone warned his sons and allies of the dangers of new industries like the drug trade in the first film, he was subscribing to an old-World perspective where few things are more important than the connections of family loyalty.
		Earlier he had Connie's husband killed for a similar reason and although these decisions were difficult to sanction, so was the possibility of Corleone failure in the mobster underworld.
