and and finally and old and old michael corleone fall over and go thump . who really do the writing for this last installment of the godfather saga . probably the same staff who do a the world turn . this flick doesn not deserve the title godfather at all . let call this one the cosas of our nostras or all my capo . a someone who encounter a number of mafia people in my business life and i can say without exception and that i have never meet any mobster a inwardly conflict and contemplative a michael corleone . let face it and these guy be in the mafia solely because theyre greedy and nothing more . in this film and don corleone spend lot of time ponder his past deed and his bleak future and perhaps even the afterlife and then recovers remarkably fast in order to pull off some fantastic business deal or order the death of this one or that one like the big time operator he be and deep down . then and there his failed marriage . after the break up scene in g2 and we may hope that michael and kay will reunite a man and wife and but here they seem to just become very good and platonic friend who can laugh and cry and share intimate thought about their life . it a if the screenwriter try to make michael into a woman . it bizarre behavior for two people who share the passion of the marriage bed for 9 year . there some miscasting here and there and or perhaps theyre sin of authorship . poor and old country beautiful sophia coppola be saddle with a hopeless role and with too many short line in the film that do not fit what a young woman would say in casual conversation be give remark rather than line to emote . her passionate lovemaking scene with andy garcia look like something from a bad teen sex comedy a they chew their open mouth kiss and fondle each others backsides on the kitchen drainboard like marionette . scullery sex be bring off wonderfully by glenn close and michael douglas and but it just laughable here . then and there andy character and vinnie mancini and who also give a difficult and thankless role to play . he expect and i guess and to be the new and new don corleone and but he almost hand the job on a silver platter and have to do little to strengthen his position and unlike michael simultaneous hit on all 5 family in g1 . this hand me down process may be an authentic way of transfer power in a mafia family and but why be so much made of this boring routine . certainly and don vincent may earn the respect of his fellow gangster someday and but there little character revelation in the script to give u a portrait of this young man and sadly . puzo do such a fine job of quickly and concisely develop michael character in g1 . but and g3 have no economy in it story tell and we suffer through draw out expositories until we just want to take a snooze . thirdly and george hamilton be also hand a thankless task and in take over a family lawyer after robt duvall reportedly turn down a 3rd installment a tom hagen . george wisely underplay his role and so it come off without damage to the actor . the development of connie corleone character be interesting and but it go too far when she take murderous matter into her own hand ( she could well end up sleep with the fredos and if this be the real world ) . but and it not all bad . the assassination scene in the hotel penthouse be nifty . also and they keep pull me back in or word to that effect be a great line . and and we recover some old country feel a we get to go back to sicily and even if it all do in 1989 and they have get modern car and haircut . the plot line involve the corrupt hierarchy of the catholic church be pretty interesting and since it base on some actual financial shenanigan at banco vaticani in the 1980 and but it bring too far and again and with the too spectacular death scene and etc . the grand opera scene be very dramatic and well photograph . but and the death scene of mary toward the end be an unbalanced attempt of emotional manipulation and at best . all screenwriter need to learn that we do not always need more and more death in order to bring a mafia movie to a successful conclusion . you feel sorry for kay that her daughter be dead and she play her grief so well and but michael reaction be hammy and hammy and hammy . then and michael dy sometime in the 21st century and in sicily and alone on a grand estate and of heart failure . no grandson to play with before his demise and no wife to grieve for him . what should have happen in the last half of this movie be michael be track down by someone like rudy guilliani and put on trial and all his dirty family sleazy little enterprise and bloodthirsty indulgence bring into the light of day and michael then convict under rico statute and send to federal prison for life . then he can keel over dead from heart failure while mop a floor in leavenworth . that how mafia don be end their career in the late 80 and early 90 and they get much well treatment than what they deserve .
