30:22 Gloucester went blind, not King Lear. King Lear was morally blind, which is why Kay keeps calling Michael blind in the abortion scene of Part 2. It sounds like you didn't read King Lear, either. This explains why you don't like Part 3. You're evaluating Part 3 for it's entertainment value, not it's artistic value.
Mary died in Part 3 because Cordelia died in King Lear. That's where he got the famous King Lear howl that Michael does after holding Mary/Cordelia's dead body, recreating the classic imagery from the play.
We finally get a proper ending in Part 3 that matches King Lear. Michael Corleone's King Lear howl was as good as any I've ever seen. "Howl, howl, howl! O, you are men of stones! Had I your tongues and eyes, I’d use them so That heaven’s vault should crack. She’s gone forever."
Part 3 keeps growing in popularity through film schools, where it is evaluated for its complex artistic value compared to it's model, King Lear, instead of some simple form of entertainment with very simple stories and simple characters, like Goodfellas. The more people compare Part 3 to a complex classic work of art like King Lear, the more it's popularity grows over time, especially with the more educated people in every society.
@@summertyme5748 Nahhh i prefer to have this aftermath kind of movie for Michael. all his grief and regrets are palpable. its the best thing in the movie. part 2 doesn't give me the finality that part 3 has, altho it has many faults
I agree about Duvall but actually there are loads of characters from the first two films considering it was made 16 years after Part II. Don Tomassino, Calo, the baker, Lucy Mancini, Connie, Johnny, Al Neri.
On a sad footnote to this movie, actress Rebecca Schaeffer was going to read for the role of Michael's daughter the day she was shot to death at her house by a stalker.
Had no idea about his sons death, but I think it adds another layer to Sophia being in the film. He said it was written with her in mind, but there was probably an added comfort knowing she was with him while he was filming. Especially considering he was filming while his son died
The big problem with Vincent and Mary’s relationship (aside from the incest) it that her character is not that interesting, desirable or smart. Hardly worth a dangerous courtship with the godfather’s daughter!
Just as unconvincing as the relationship is the idea of Vincent "offering" to work with Don Altobelli out of resentment toward Michael's fordidding of the Mary relationship. Michael Corleone would know Altobelli would never have bought that, and would more likely would have had Vincent wacked soon afterward.
for as much hate as it gets it makes this one of the most underrated films ever. the second to last scene where Michael's agonizing yell goes silent *chefs kiss*
@@AlphonseWeebay well yeah, good point I guess. I tend to look at movies as their own thing, unless it's like a true trilogy or whatever, one big ass tale,... like Lord of The Rings (whixh I have the weirdest take on them 😅... love em all. But While King is one of my all time favorite movies, Fellowship is my fav LOTR movie... does that make sense? Barely does to me
@@AlphonseWeebay I also don't get the whole GF2 > GF1 thing... .the 1st Godfather is absolutely PERFECT.... I love the whole insight and takes on the no subtitles when speaking Italian in the restaurant. I'm no GF expert (I only just saw them all finly like 5 years ago--- I'm 46 and 100% Napolitano Italian! The shame 😆🤣...), but that was obv my fav scene and I really looked into that one, how they make the plan, the actual restaurant (and the personal satisfaction of buckin that cop haha)
I actually rewatched all three movies last week. And part I is NOT perfect by any stretch of the imagination. It has severe pacing issues pretty much from when Michael leaves the country up to his return. It also jumps ahead in time without any real sense of said time having elapsed. Part II is better paced for sure but had its own problems, mainly the back and forth between Vito's backstory and Michael's ongoing story. The thing is that Michael's story in part II is just not that interesting. Had it not been for the all the flashbacks with De Niro as young Vito part II would just be dull. Part III isn't perfect either. However, it is very well paced and the story is actually engaging from start to finish. In my book, part III is on par with parts I and II. And I would rank all of them a solid 4/5.
I watched this in the theater...when Sophia died at the end, the entire theater erupted in applause. I was pretty young then and years later it is still the most compelling moment in the theater next to the entire audience crying when ET "died"
Been hyped for this breakdown! Love the different genres of movies uve been covering with the classic breakdowns, uve been absolutely killing it with each one! I’ve been really liking seeing the heavy spoilers crew on camera more. Great video brother! Excited for the next classic breakdown! 🔥🔥
It's not near as bad as people make out. My biggest problem with it is that Michael seems like a completely different character. Both in looks and personality and even the way he sounds. I have to keep reminding myself it's the same guy as the first two movies.
Yeah, he went from understated, controlled, observant and manipulative to the modern day Pacino, with the bursts of screaming anger and the wisecrack jokes. Seems like the Michael Corleone of the first two films would have seen the assassination at the Opera from a mile away, but in this film he overlooks all the obvious clues.
I wouldn't call it a complete disaster. I would however say it was a seriously missed opportunity. That is the issue with directors who try to break away from what got them there. The Godfather made Coppola and he got his success, notoriety and Oscars from Parts I and II. Instead of capitalizing while hot and making Godfather III in the late 70s or early 80s to complete the story with the death of Michael...and leaving open the door for a continuation with Vincent as the head of the family in the early 90s...he allowed his empire to languish. Then when in dire need of money he had lost all of the influence that he had in the early 70s and had to bend to the studios. Lucas did something similar with Star Wars. Had he jumped on the Extended Universe Timothy Zahn (Thrawn) trilogy and made the sequels before the actors got too old he could have maintained control and not had to sell it to Disney. It should have been 1997 Episode VII, 2000 Episode IX and 2003 Episode X ending with Han, Leia and Luke's kids as the new generation that could head up E 11-13 down the road when they are older. Then he could have taken some time and made the prequels. 2007 - Episode I 2010 - Episode II 2013 - Episode III By 2017 (14 years after Episode X) he could have written and had someone else direct Episode XII 2020 - Episode XIII 2023 - Episode XIV And that pretty much would begin an entirely new trilogy with new younger heroes and a send off/hand off from the original trilogy heroes. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda.
Every one of your videos I end up liking and unliking it several times. This is because I instinctly hit the like button every time I hear a good point or laugh and I accidentally unlike the video in my excitement. You'll always get multiple views from my adhd ass in making sure you get your props!
The biggest problem for me is the shot of Kay looking more concerned at Michael's scream than at her daughter lying murdered beside her. Coppola's fault and the biggest nail in the coffin.
Most channels like this begin with one person but once they become super popular and start making money they eventually hire an editor to do the tedious work.
Sofia Coppella was the little girl bothering Matt Dillion (Dallas) in The Outsiders....I think that was her first speaking role....so it wasn't the first time
33:03 This scene, which you identified as “a parade” - is, in fact, the Feast of San Gennaro - or the San Gennaro Festival - which is held in Little Italy in lower Manhattan, New York City, every year in mid-September.
That's the way I've always read it. Silent scream. The music doesn't diminish a single decibel when you do hear the scream, so I think HS is wrong on this point.
Really. The movie made a shit ton of money, it was nominated for best picture, Garcia and Pacino were great and the reviews were good. Sofia Coppola is a genius director and writer (like her father), but she’s no actress, I will give you that
The incest is a reference to the Oedipal complex of King Lear. Lear's daughters married men who were like their father. Coppola's grandparents were first cousins, yet they produced healthy, hyper talented children and grandchildren who thrive today, while the Corleones failed miserably. That's why Coppola chose Sofia to represent both the Corleones and Coppolas, as a comparison of the two families. Sofia's real life success proves that her selection for that role was brilliantly correct. Part 3 was Coppolas best writing of all three films because it was ahead of its time. Coppola never wanted to be associated with the racist stereotypes of the mafia. He made that very clear in Part 3 by casting Sofia. Sofia dies in the film by the sins of the Corleones, but she continues to thrive in real life by the virtues of the Coppolas. Many people are only now starting to realize how smart Coppola's decisions in Part 3 are today.
@@nickm8874 The Godfather movies are the most misinterpreted films in the history of cinema. Coppola never wanted to make another stupid mafia movie. From the start, he was making the Godfather films as modern versions of King Lear as his own creative way to keep from throwing up while making a gangster movie. The people who misinterpret the Godfather films are the same people who don't understand King Lear. Part 3 grows in popularity in film schools as a brilliant modern version of King Lear. It's idiotic to compare Part 3 to Goodfellas when it should be compared to King Lear. Goodfellas is a very simple form of entertainment. Part 3 is a complex work of art that is modeled after one of the greatest works of art, King Lear.
@@ExecutionStyleInc You sound like the kid who flunked out of Shakespeare class. Your opinion is worthless because Shakespeare, especially King Lear over the last 400 years, has proven to be highly reliable in explaining and predicting human behavior in the succession of power in both fiction and real life. He is more than just an elite writer.
Same here. He was so controlled, observant, cunning and menacing in the first two films. His rage was almost always beneath the surface. In this one he misses clear hints, begs out loud in times of distress, and screams in rage when it is not necessary. I think the film dragged even the best of actors down.
Not to nitpick or anything, but the puppet show. Yup. Remember Don Fanuci seeing it (GF 1) and saying "That's too violent for me!" The crowd laughing. On his way home to his fate during the festival. (A big nit to miss, so I had to pick it🥺)
So many scenes and locations were ripped off from the first two films. The wedding in Sicily that Michael and Kay come upon, the Festiva scene where Joey Saza is killed. Another thing pulled from the first two films is the theme music, but the music just didn't work this time, it felt out of place.
21:47- That story of kissing cousins is believable. I would never have learned this apart from Heavy Spoilers’ narrator. Thank you, for your diligent research.
It's a decent movie and I wouldn't call it a disaster by any means. It had more to live up to than any other movie ever made and suffered some pretty unfair criticism because of that. 1&2 are solid 10/10 movies. I'd give 3 a 7/10.
I know she’s not a good actress but to avoid being thrown out of the film with every line I decided that his daughter is a bit slow if you know what I mean
There are some hidden gems in this movie but what it boils down to is Santino’s Son having relations with Michael’s Daughter. That is the reason for the film’s downfall not the acting
No, it’s not that bad. Had Winona Ryder been Mary Corleone and if they had paid Duvall what he was due, then people would have ranked it up there with 1 and 2. Pacino was still excellent.
For me the first two were about consequences from living a life and those affected by it. The third felt like it was about forgiveness and redemption despite the events with their daughter it felt like the movie wanted me to be sorry for Michael or even Kay and for me it fell flat and undermined the first two movies. His long life dying alone was his punishment and the first two movies set that up perfectly, it’s a shame the third one doesn’t respect that.
Didn't mention sonny's kids during the part Mike's dancing with his daughter. Well the twins I know he had. The ending with Mike and Kay getting back together,and him getting hit at there re-nuptials😮. Epic
19:56 That's Carlo Gambino not Paul Castellano! However, they were cousins and Vito & Michael were both partially based on the two of them (and a few other guys) IMO.
There's this great mini- documentary on Sofia Coppela that I recommend because it goes into the real meaning behind this film. Francis's son had recently passed away and when Winona Rider wasn't able to be in the film Francis insisted on Sofia even though she really didn't want to do it. She would cry, and beg him but he just wanted to keep his family close. It's really sad and puts this movie into a different perspective.... nevermind you mentioned it at the end of the video, and the BekindRewind video.
just to ask how coem u revied the og verison and not tht nw cut? we all know wot we think of the og verison. would have been way better with your break downs for the newer cut of gfather3. awesome and thnaks frm UK
Orange 🍊 is the only color that breaks down to the number 33 in numerology, which is associated with the 1/3 fallen angels and (supposedly influenced by this) the highest *known* (honorary) degree in the Freemasons. If that's the connection or not, I don't know. But it's at least worth mentioning, considering the association with fallen beings and people (as connected to Lucifer). It's very esoteric but something Coppola and others involved with the writing would be familiar with due, at minimum, to intensive attention to detail.
The film is a solid one. I never watch the first two films without watching the third. I don't skip it. Here are my scores for the trilogy: The Godfather: 10/10 The Godfather, Part II: 9/10 The Godfather, Part III: 8/10
I was lucky. I just happened to watch part 3 first. It holds a special place in my heart because of that, plus it didn't ruin the first 2 at all. In fact, i think it enhanced them.
A fantastic movie, definetly not at the same level as 1 and 2 but still a great watch with some absolutely fantastic actors except Sofia Coppola who was terrible, very unlucky that we could not get Winona Ryder for that role, she was set to play it but pulled out because of being overworked or something like that. People who say this is a bad movie are crazy.
When I watch the first part I always have to watch all 3. The third is the worst but there are moments I always look forward to seeing that help bring it all full circle, Talia Shires performance being my fav part of that.
Great video. I'm a big godfather fan. Tom hagar was missed in the third entry. The cousin story line should been cut out in my opinion. Where was Connie's kids and sonny's other kids
The way Sophia died was like comical. She’s standing there with a bullet wound blast on her front, with blood all over, and only when she looks down does she ‘realise’ she should be dead from the wound, and so she dies. It’s ridiculous, and I wonder why no one ever mentions this.
It happens my friend was shot twice right next to me and didn't even know until we saw the smoke coming out of his jacket only then he realized he was hit thank God he lived so yeah it's possible
@@RichieW90210 Sounds like you've never served in combat. Why should you, when other people are willing to risk dying in your place so that you can deny that they've ever been shot from the safety of your home?
@@erwinquiachon8054 I was gonna say were you in the army? So did you have armoured vests on? Sophia copolla was wearing a gown. And it was a fatal wound. No offence, your friend wasnt hit by a fatal wound. I’m trying to be nice and not call you a lier, in the nicest possible way.
Here’s a better premise. Michael doubled down, his reach grew larger and Anthony became a politician. Michael gets investigated for his ties to the costanostra and Anthony goes against him the entire film, until the end and we find out they were planning something together all the while 😊
I saw The Godfather Part III on it's opening day on Christmas Day 1990. I went with my mother, a fellow Godfather fan. It was sold out so it was a big deal. It was different from the other 2. It just made me go home to watch the first 2. The incest storyline made me uncomfortable. The story written by Vincent Patrick could have worked. He wrote the novel and screenplay The Pope Of Greenwich Village starring Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts, who was approached to star in a Godfather 3 in 1979. It was to be directed by John Guillerman. The film The Pope Of Greenwich Village was meant to star Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, but they both backed out of the film.
Connie made reference to Fredo drowning in coda. Did she really think he drowned or deep in her heart does she know that Michael had him killed off? I always wondered that and did she put the poison in the cannoli? Or did somebody else? It kind of seemed like Connie was getting a sinister side.
I think she knew Michael had Fredo killed, but she brings up Fredo's drowning because she didn't want to give Michael a chance to confess the killing to her. It's too painful a subject for her to even hear about. In the trilogy, Connie matures to the point where she completely understands all of Michael's actions, even the killing of Fredo. And she sure as hell did poison the cannoli; she was watching and waiting for Altobello to die during the Opera.
I know theres a couple people that will use em as a way to jump on me so just easier having the peace of mind, they will go back up eventually just want some distance from em, I'm actually sponsoring the next DF event as a thanks to Eurgh for being cool about it so i've still got some connection
@@heavyspoilers genuinely wasn't expecting a reply, I'd say you weren't expecting a comment like this either 😂 aww I was enjoying watching them 😔 man you're a beast! 💪
I watched part 1and 2 this week . I tried to watch part 3 tonight but I just couldn’t stomach it. It seemed like a made for tv movie and I was so bored.
I love the first two. I like this one. It would have benefited greatly if they omitted the daughter's story (hated it) and not hired a terrible actress (I blame nepotism).
It wasn’t nepotism. Winona Ryder was originally scheduled to play Mary, but she pulled out just days before filming was supposed to start. Sofia didn’t want the part but was convinced to do it, because if they had brought in another actress, it would’ve delayed filming.
I watched all three the same day because I bought the DVD Boxset and I loved all three. I will never just watch a single The Godfather movie , I have to watch all three! Part Three is not a bad movie when in context of the whole trilogy, but if it were its own thing and not related to the Godfather trilogy I would have forgotten about it 😅
I feel that the mispronunciation of European names by the descendants of Europeans in America is quite common - see the way they say Lewandowski as Lou-an-dow-ski instead of lev-van-dov-ski

That is the issue with directors who try to break away from what got them there.
The Godfather made Coppola and he got his success, notoriety and Oscars from Parts I and II.

Then when in dire need of money he had lost all of the influence that he had in the early 70s and had to bend to the studios.
Lucas did something similar with Star Wars. Had he jumped on the Extended Universe Timothy Zahn (Thrawn) trilogy and made the sequels before the actors got too old he could have maintained control and not had to sell it to Disney.
It should have been 1997 Episode VII, 2000 Episode IX and 2003 Episode X ending with Han, Leia and Luke's kids as the new generation that could head up E 11-13 down the road when they are older.
Then he could have taken some time and made the prequels.
2007 - Episode I
2010 - Episode II
2013 - Episode III
By 2017 (14 years after Episode X) he could have written and had someone else direct Episode XII
2020 - Episode XIII
2023 - Episode XIV
And that pretty much would begin an entirely new trilogy with new younger heroes and a send off/hand off from the original trilogy heroes.

There’s a good story in this movie. But, the lackluster acting and lack of Robert Duvall really affect this film.

Really. The movie made a shit ton of money, it was nominated for best picture, Garcia and Pacino were great and the reviews were good. Sofia Coppola is a genius director and writer (like her father), but she’s no actress, I will give you that
Just some more big teats being milked by that old farmer Coppola.
Smashing that 👍🏽 for the work this man put in!
I'm not going to lie. I loved all 3 of them
See Paul, just when I don't I was out you pull me back in with this trilogies breakdown
Love when Connie is looking for Mary and says Mary! Mary !has anyone seen Mary!? will someone Hail mary!?oh sorry father.when she see the priest.
The incest is a reference to the Oedipal complex of King Lear. Lear's daughters married men who were like their father. Coppola's grandparents were first cousins, yet they produced healthy, hyper talented children and grandchildren who thrive today, while the Corleones failed miserably. That's why Coppola chose Sofia to represent both the Corleones and Coppolas, as a comparison of the two families. Sofia's real life success proves that her selection for that role was brilliantly correct. Part 3 was Coppolas best writing of all three films because it was ahead of its time. Coppola never wanted to be associated with the racist stereotypes of the mafia. He made that very clear in Part 3 by casting Sofia. Sofia dies in the film by the sins of the Corleones, but she continues to thrive in real life by the virtues of the Coppolas. Many people are only now starting to realize how smart Coppola's decisions in Part 3 are today.
Is this “best writing” in the room with us now?
@@nickm8874 The Godfather movies are the most misinterpreted films in the history of cinema. Coppola never wanted to make another stupid mafia movie. From the start, he was making the Godfather films as modern versions of King Lear as his own creative way to keep from throwing up while making a gangster movie. The people who misinterpret the Godfather films are the same people who don't understand King Lear. Part 3 grows in popularity in film schools as a brilliant modern version of King Lear. It's idiotic to compare Part 3 to Goodfellas when it should be compared to King Lear. Goodfellas is a very simple form of entertainment. Part 3 is a complex work of art that is modeled after one of the greatest works of art, King Lear.
how do you make the king lear?
😂 Fuck king leer and fuck your film school interpretation. His casting was last minute nepotism. People looking for excuses in any form.
@@ExecutionStyleInc You sound like the kid who flunked out of Shakespeare class. Your opinion is worthless because Shakespeare, especially King Lear over the last 400 years, has proven to be highly reliable in explaining and predicting human behavior in the succession of power in both fiction and real life. He is more than just an elite writer.
Without seeing the video (I typically agree with your view points), its more of 'What could of been' as opposed to 'What did they do'
Michael doesn’t at all feel like the same character from the first two parts, that was a big problem for me.
Same here. He was so controlled, observant, cunning and menacing in the first two films. His rage was almost always beneath the surface. In this one he misses clear hints, begs out loud in times of distress, and screams in rage when it is not necessary. I think the film dragged even the best of actors down.
The coda version really improves things - great video as ever 👍😎
Thank you
Not to nitpick or anything, but the puppet show. Yup. Remember Don Fanuci seeing it (GF 1) and saying "That's too violent for me!" The crowd laughing. On his way home to his fate during the festival. (A big nit to miss, so I had to pick it🥺)
Perfect timing my man!
So many scenes and locations were ripped off from the first two films. The wedding in Sicily that Michael and Kay come upon, the Festiva scene where Joey Saza is killed. Another thing pulled from the first two films is the theme music, but the music just didn't work this time, it felt out of place.
21:47- That story of kissing cousins is believable. I would never have learned this apart from Heavy Spoilers’ narrator. Thank you, for your diligent research.
It is NOT that bad of a movie. In fact, the “Godfather coda: the death of Michael Corleone” is actually a good movie.
I hated 3 as a teenager but enjoy Coda now. It's as enjoyable as any other gangster film, if a tier below 1 or 2.
Good is so relative, isn't it.
It's a decent movie and I wouldn't call it a disaster by any means. It had more to live up to than any other movie ever made and suffered some pretty unfair criticism because of that. 1&2 are solid 10/10 movies. I'd give 3 a 7/10.
34:42 “D’ Dear Me!” 🤣
Hows The Wickerman breakdown coming along? Also you're doing a great job man lots of great info 👍
Got my notes for all the different versions done so just gotta compile em
I know she’s not a good actress but to avoid being thrown out of the film with every line I decided that his daughter is a bit slow if you know what I mean
There are some hidden gems in this movie but what it boils down to is Santino’s Son having relations with Michael’s Daughter. That is the reason for the film’s downfall not the acting
No, it’s not that bad. Had Winona Ryder been Mary Corleone and if they had paid Duvall what he was due, then people would have ranked it up there with 1 and 2. Pacino was still excellent.
The third one wasn’t horrible, but it could have been better. It just couldn’t hold a candle to the first two.
For me the first two were about consequences from living a life and those affected by it. The third felt like it was about forgiveness and redemption despite the events with their daughter it felt like the movie wanted me to be sorry for Michael or even Kay and for me it fell flat and undermined the first two movies. His long life dying alone was his punishment and the first two movies set that up perfectly, it’s a shame the third one doesn’t respect that.
Didn't mention sonny's kids during the part Mike's dancing with his daughter. Well the twins I know he had. The ending with Mike and Kay getting back together,and him getting hit at there re-nuptials😮. Epic
I absolutely love this movie. Just like the previous two, once I start to watch it, I have to go all the way to the end!
19:56 That's Carlo Gambino not Paul Castellano!
However, they were cousins and Vito & Michael were both partially based on the two of them (and a few other guys) IMO.
Cheers for the correction
There's this great mini- documentary on Sofia Coppela that I recommend because it goes into the real meaning behind this film. Francis's son had recently passed away and when Winona Rider wasn't able to be in the film Francis insisted on Sofia even though she really didn't want to do it. She would cry, and beg him but he just wanted to keep his family close. It's really sad and puts this movie into a different perspective.... nevermind you mentioned it at the end of the video, and the BekindRewind video.
The gangster holding on to his lucky coat was the same gangster who tried to kill Frank Pantagelis AKA Frankie Five Angels
I JUST saw the Coda version. It is a little more palatable than the original theatrical release. But only slightly.
I thought that GF3 was Ok. What killed it was being compared to the two masterpieces that were the Godfather I & 11.
just to ask how coem u revied the og verison and not tht nw cut? we all know wot we think of the og verison. would have been way better with your break downs for the newer cut of gfather3. awesome and thnaks frm UK
It was a best picture nominee. Let that sink in.
Best Picture has been DEI'ed so forget about it.
Orange 🍊 is the only color that breaks down to the number 33 in numerology, which is associated with the 1/3 fallen angels and (supposedly influenced by this) the highest *known* (honorary) degree in the Freemasons. If that's the connection or not, I don't know. But it's at least worth mentioning, considering the association with fallen beings and people (as connected to Lucifer). It's very esoteric but something Coppola and others involved with the writing would be familiar with due, at minimum, to intensive attention to detail.
The film is a solid one. I never watch the first two films without watching the third. I don't skip it. Here are my scores for the trilogy:
The Godfather: 10/10
The Godfather, Part II: 9/10
The Godfather, Part III: 8/10
ii is the best one
Its terrible. That incest plot with Vincent & Mary was AWFUL
I was lucky. I just happened to watch part 3 first. It holds a special place in my heart because of that, plus it didn't ruin the first 2 at all. In fact, i think it enhanced them.
A fantastic movie, definetly not at the same level as 1 and 2 but still a great watch with some absolutely fantastic actors except Sofia Coppola who was terrible, very unlucky that we could not get Winona Ryder for that role, she was set to play it but pulled out because of being overworked or something like that.
People who say this is a bad movie are crazy.
I love the slow, yet extreme shift the "theory time" announcement has made over the last few years
Cent' anni - literally means "a hundred years"
You guys are nuts. It's a really good movie. Just not as good as the first 2, which are 2 of the best films of all time.
Not sure why you're so defensive since almost every comment said the same thing you did, lol
It has some of the greatest individual scenes in the whole trilogy, Kay meeting Michael in the hospital got me teary eyed
Michael says “the sucker I get the wiser I become, when I’m dead I’m going to be a really smart man” it all goes full circle in the last scene
When I watch the first part I always have to watch all 3. The third is the worst but there are moments I always look forward to seeing that help bring it all full circle, Talia Shires performance being my fav part of that.
Great video. I'm a big godfather fan. Tom hagar was missed in the third entry. The cousin story line should been cut out in my opinion. Where was Connie's kids and sonny's other kids
excelente video
Love how rich people claim bankruptcy just to get richer.
29:42 your guy peeling an orange and shortly before pulling out the shotgun is character “Al Neri”. Look him up.
The way Sophia died was like comical. She’s standing there with a bullet wound blast on her front, with blood all over, and only when she looks down does she ‘realise’ she should be dead from the wound, and so she dies. It’s ridiculous, and I wonder why no one ever mentions this.
It’s like a looney tunes death, and all the emotional anguish that’s supposed to come from Al Pacino is completely ruined.
It happens my friend was shot twice right next to me and didn't even know until we saw the smoke coming out of his jacket only then he realized he was hit thank God he lived so yeah it's possible
@@almauerhan7091 hmm I’m not calling you a lier but I can’t just accept what you just said as truth
@@RichieW90210 Sounds like you've never served in combat. Why should you, when other people are willing to risk dying in your place so that you can deny that they've ever been shot from the safety of your home?
@@erwinquiachon8054 I was gonna say were you in the army? So did you have armoured vests on?
Sophia copolla was wearing a gown. And it was a fatal wound. No offence, your friend wasnt hit by a fatal wound.
I’m trying to be nice and not call you a lier, in the nicest possible way.
Michael's charity is kinda like U Po Kyin building pagodas in Burmese Days both in motivation and in futility in terms of actual personal benefit.
Here’s a better premise. Michael doubled down, his reach grew larger and Anthony became a politician. Michael gets investigated for his ties to the costanostra and Anthony goes against him the entire film, until the end and we find out they were planning something together all the while 😊
@38:38 The longer you stare at this newspaper article, the more jank it gets.
another cracking review .
My neighbors spell Mancini the same and say MAN SEE NEE. PLUS MY HUSBAND IS SICILIAN AND THATS HOW ITS SAID !!!
So again YOU'RE WRONG 😮
It just shows that Italian Americans are just Americans; a theme of the films, of course.
I saw The Godfather Part III on it's opening day on Christmas Day 1990. I went with my mother, a fellow Godfather fan. It was sold out so it was a big deal. It was different from the other 2. It just made me go home to watch the first 2. The incest storyline made me uncomfortable.
The story written by Vincent Patrick could have worked. He wrote the novel and screenplay The Pope Of Greenwich Village starring Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts, who was approached to star in a Godfather 3 in 1979. It was to be directed by John Guillerman. The film The Pope Of Greenwich Village was meant to star Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, but they both backed out of the film.
Connie made reference to Fredo drowning in coda. Did she really think he drowned or deep in her heart does she know that Michael had him killed off? I always wondered that and did she put the poison in the cannoli? Or did somebody else? It kind of seemed like Connie was getting a sinister side.
I think she knew Michael had Fredo killed, but she brings up Fredo's drowning because she didn't want to give Michael a chance to confess the killing to her. It's too painful a subject for her to even hear about. In the trilogy, Connie matures to the point where she completely understands all of Michael's actions, even the killing of Fredo. And she sure as hell did poison the cannoli; she was watching and waiting for Altobello to die during the Opera.
Duuude I miss your battles 😔 how come they're being removed from RUclips? ☺ Good to see you're doing great though ☺
I know theres a couple people that will use em as a way to jump on me so just easier having the peace of mind, they will go back up eventually just want some distance from em, I'm actually sponsoring the next DF event as a thanks to Eurgh for being cool about it so i've still got some connection
@@heavyspoilers genuinely wasn't expecting a reply, I'd say you weren't expecting a comment like this either 😂 aww I was enjoying watching them 😔 man you're a beast! 💪
22:45 “if Michael pulled some strings” see what ya did there!
I likedn\ Sophia and paired with Andy Garcia was perfection. I liked GF3
I watched part 1and 2 this week . I tried to watch part 3 tonight but I just couldn’t stomach it. It seemed like a made for tv movie and I was so bored.
I love the first two. I like this one. It would have benefited greatly if they omitted the daughter's story (hated it) and not hired a terrible actress (I blame nepotism).
It wasn’t nepotism. Winona Ryder was originally scheduled to play Mary, but she pulled out just days before filming was supposed to start. Sofia didn’t want the part but was convinced to do it, because if they had brought in another actress, it would’ve delayed filming.
I watched all three the same day because I bought the DVD Boxset and I loved all three. I will never just watch a single The Godfather movie , I have to watch all three! Part Three is not a bad movie when in context of the whole trilogy, but if it were its own thing and not related to the Godfather trilogy I would have forgotten about it 😅
Thanks buddy
I feel that the mispronunciation of European names by the descendants of Europeans in America is quite common - see the way they say Lewandowski as Lou-an-dow-ski instead of lev-van-dov-ski
