Answer the following question: Build a movie plot around this: who is named a Commander of the Order of St. Sebastian? Michael Corleone
Answer:
The movie begins in 1979, with a brief flashback establishing the long and tragic history of criminal activity within, and by, the Corleone family. Much has changed. Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) is now approaching 60 and feels tremendous guilt for indulging in his ruthless ambition many years ago.
