Pretty much the same as everybody

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 1999)

The first time I saw the series of Godfather movies, I saw them all in the same weekend. To move from Michael's innocence to his corruption to his redemption/consequences (anybody think Mary died for Michael's sins?) in such a short time was deeply affecting to me. No, Godfather III is not a "great" work on its own -- but it shouldn't be viewed on its own. Mary's death, then Michael's death are fitting conclusions to THE American film masterpiece.
