a nostaglic compelation of all the attributes from the previous two films which conforms to make a; not a classic conclusion; but a conformed one.

Rating: 7/10 (23 October 2006)

The Godfather Part 3 is a film which comprises most of the same events from the original film, but does it in such a manner, which makes the film stand in it's own right. In the films there is so many similar scenes, although visually differiental, which are used in the first. It is so hard to criticise this because in reality the life cycles of mafia members reflect so much similarity. It starts of with the basic reintroduction of the don; Micheal Corleone; similar to the first where the first compelation of scenes where inevitably focused on the main character; Marlon Brando. But as with the first a foreclosed and unintroduced character becomes involved in the film; in the first, Al pacino and the third Andy Garcia. As I perceive it, Coppola latched on to the filimarity of the original and integrated some individual conflicts between the two characters. This is apparent when u look at Micheals introverted personality and projected unwillingness to enter the family business whereas Garcia embraces the underworld of the mafia and wants to be a part of it. No matter how they became embrolied in such a world, they faced the same events, were that Brando didn't want Micheal involved and that later on Micheal didn't want Vincent to become involved, but as the first an murder attempt on both father (Brando) and Micheal (uncle) forced both Pacino, in the first, and Garcia into a higher level of the mafia, when the Turk and Sassa, were killed. Another similarity to the first was that Micheal lost his wife and in the third Garcia lost Mary.
In conclusion, Coppla didn't have much to worked with in this concluding part of the story, due to the fact that life comes full circle and that events do repeat themselves, but he did try to combat, the transparency of his repetition by those little character diferentials between Al Pacino and Andy Garcia.
