The baptism montage in the Godfather is important to the development of Michael Corleone's character because it reveals who he is and shows us that he clearly has changed from the youngest of the sons into the Godfather. At the end of the baptisomol scene it becomes clear the Michael is both a part of the family ... and the family business.
I love how he is participating in the baptism of his Godchild but at the same time he is arranging the murders of all of the other gang leaders. It is rather ironic actually... as he is swearing to the Lord that he will take care of this child as their Godfather... and that he will be a peaceful person and refuse the temptations of Satan... it is being shown that he is killing off all of his gang
enemies. How peaceful of him.
This scene foreshadows the things that are to come... It shows us that Michael Corleone is not the same Godfather as his father was ...He is letting violence interfere with his home life...and that is not acceptable.
Watch the movies TO SEEE WHAT HAPPPENS :)
FiNNNNNNN.
