After watching the film yesterday, I struggled with the plot for a long time. There were many reasons, but I figured out one thing later. I guess the director (or the writer) had some political standpoint, so the logic of the plot was slightly lacking.
To complete the film, two things had to happen:
The don must die and leave nothing to the family.
Because the American elite is monopolized by a large number of family connections, many of the people in their positions are either incompetent or incompetent. He completed a "cut-off" and "suicide" of the American elite through the film.
Immigrants must live in this house.
Trump's policies are so unfriendly to immigrants that several of my friends in the US have canceled their plans to return to The US for fear that they will not be able to return to the US. But the director/writer probably thinks that immigrants are the builders of this country, and that we should welcome those who work hard to come to this country and build this country, and not block their way up. Since it was difficult to achieve in real life, the movie was used to complete the immigration. There are many hints in the movie, but it's just my interpretation, so take it with a grain of salt.
Since these two things have to be done, the plot is really just trying to rationalize them as much as possible through suspense.
It makes sense, why some of the Settings were so strange, why the Don was so determined to die? Because the writers haven't been able to make it 100% reasonable enough to seamlessly blend suspense and political appeal.
After PS, I will deeply elaborate my understanding of the plot and political interpretation of the film (just my personal opinion, not necessarily right). Here, I will sort out the complete positive timeline for you first. If you know the plot better, you can skip the first two parts and see the in-depth plot and political interpretation in the future.
