Abstract

In China, many nuclear families are policy-driven one-child families from the 1980s to the 21st century, which resonate particularly in symmetrical comparison for the Italy immigrant Corleone family of United State of America, in the film series the Godfather. This study describes the comparison between the two trends of popular cultures with a focus on the contextual analysis of the movie narrative. In addition to the focus on the storyline from the perspective of the Chinese audience, the study discusses family relationships including gender relations. The source of cultural conflict comes from One-child Policy of China in 1982. This research attempts to summarize the main views combined with film lens analysis, indicate the most important point from the social media platform Douban, and explore the patriarchal context that this film brings to modern individuals, which will give people from different backgrounds a better understanding of conflicting cultural views.
