Single comment on the weak support of the third part

The level of The Godfather Part III is strikingly similar to what it's trying to convey. Just as Mike Corleone carried the family's entire business on his own, Al Pacino carried the entire film on his own. Diane Keaton's role is too small, and the role itself is not heavy; Sofia Coppola has a family and friend group and a ticket-playing nature; Andy Garcia has a style and a style, and the momentum is obviously insufficient. Apart from the still tense and intense struggle of the traitor among the allies in the first third of the film, the personal monologues of Al Pacino or Mike Corleone and the lacklustre performances of the rest of the cast make up the rest of the film.

Maybe Coppola was tired, maybe Mario Puzovans was dry, maybe the lack of a cast of Robert Duvall, Robert De Niro, or even Marlon Brando just wasn't enough for such a heavy movie.

    The final work of the "Godfather" series is as expressive and profound as the previous two! Al Pacino is still full of charm when he is old, and his acting skills needless to say. In the film, there are still a lot of hit-to-the-point admonitions, and compared to the previous two films, there are more emotional and family scenes. The soundtrack of the film is so beautiful, the scene of the climax of the opera performance and the parallel editing of the bloody light and dark is really beautiful! (9.0/10) [2021.6.17. SIFF Da Guangming 4K restoration director recut version] The guide cut version deletes the ending of Michael's death, which is slightly less tragic than the original version. Although Michael repented and confessed, and desperately wanted to clean up his career and let his family go ashore, he could not escape reincarnation and repeat the same mistakes: the assassination of carnival street activities is the same as [The God Father 2], and the family gathering and family portrait shooting are the same as [The God Father 1]. Implied generational inheritance, the multi-line assassination of the opera house seems to be the reappearance of the first baptismal liquidation, the helicopter roof machine gun slaughter shareholders are more crazy than the gangster infighting in the previous work, Vincent inherited Sonny's impulsive arrogance more, but also Not without a cool plan. Michael's diabetic cerebral infarction and silent heart-piercing roar are too sad.

The Godfather: Part III quotes

  • Michael Corleone: I spent my life protecting my son. I spent my life protecting my family!

    Kay Corleone: Let's be reasonable here, Michael. I mean, that's your big thing, isn't it? Reason backed up by murder.

    Michael Corleone: Oh, God, you hate me. You hate me.

    Kay Corleone: No, I don't hate you, Michael. I dread you.

    Michael Corleone: I did what I could, Kay, to protect all of you from the horrors of this world.

    Kay Corleone: But you became my horror. The children still love you, though. Especially Mary.

    Michael Corleone: Well, that's something. We can build on that. For their sake. Let's try.

    Kay Corleone: Only if you let Tony go to live his own life. Away from you.

    Michael Corleone: I'll let Tony go.

    Kay Corleone: Thank you.

  • Michael Corleone: [after learning of Zasa's assassination] Don't ever give an order like that again. Not while I'm alive.

    Vincent Mancini: Uncle Mike, it had to be done. You were too sick to make a decision. I got the go ahead from Neri and Connie.

    Michael Corleone: Connie.

    Vincent Mancini: It was the right thing to do.

    Michael Corleone: It was not the right thing to do. I command this family, right or wrong. It was not what I wanted! Understand?

    Vincent Mancini: Yes.

    [Michael looks at Neri]

    Al Neri: Yes.

    [Michael looks at Connie for a long time]

    Connie: Yes!

    Michael Corleone: Vincent, help me to my bed. I want to talk to you alone.

    Michael Corleone: [Vincent helps Michael into his bed] My brother, your father, he and I. Opposites. But I never doubted his love. He would do anything for me. But his temper. Clouded his judgement. I don't want to see the same thing happen to you.
