The Godfather Part III
The Godfather Part III is a 1990 American crime film produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a screenplay co-written with Mario Puzo.
A sequel to" The Godfather"( 1972) and" The Godfather Part II"( 1974), it completes the story of Michael Corleone, a Mafia kingpin who attempts to legitimize his criminal empire.
The film also includes fictionalized accounts of two real- life events: the 1978 death of Pope John Paul I and the Papal banking scandal of 1981 – 82, both linked to Michael Corleone's business affairs.
The film stars Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, and Andy García.
Coppola and Puzo preferred the title" The Death of Michael Corleone", but Paramount Pictures found that unacceptable.
Coppola considers the series as two films, with" Part III" as an epilogue.
" The Godfather Part III" received generally positive reviews, albeit less than the critical acclaim that the first two films received.
The film was distributed again by Paramount Pictures, premiering in Beverly Hills on December 20, 1990, and released in the United States at December 25, 1990.
It grossed$ 136,766,062 and was nominated for seven Academy Awards, failing to win any, the only film in the trilogy to do so.

Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola( born April 7, 1939) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, film composer, and vintner.
He was a central figure in the New Hollywood filmmaking movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
He is widely considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
After directing" The Rain People" in 1969, Coppola co-wrote" Patton"( 1970), earning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay along with Edmund H. North.
Coppola's reputation as a filmmaker was cemented with the release of" The Godfather"( 1972).
The film revolutionized movie- making in the gangster genre, and was adored by the public and critics alike.
" The Godfather" won three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay( shared with Mario Puzo).
" The Godfather Part II", which followed in 1974, became the first sequel to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Highly regarded by critics, the film brought Coppola three more Academy Awards:
Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture, and made him the second director( after Billy Wilder) to be so honored three times for the same film.
" The Conversation", which Coppola directed, produced and wrote, was released that same year, winning the Palme d' Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
His next film," Apocalypse Now"( 1979), which notoriously had a lengthy and strenuous production, was widely acclaimed for its vivid depiction of the Vietnam War.
The film won the Palme d' Or, making Coppola one of only eight filmmakers to have won that award twice.
While a number of Coppola's ventures in the 1980s and 1990s were critically lauded, he has never quite achieved the same commercial success with films as in the 1970s.
His best- known films released since the start of the 1980s are the dramas" The Outsiders" and" Rumble Fish"( both 1983), the crime dramas" The Cotton Club"( 1984) and" The Godfather Part III"( 1990), and the horror film" Bram Stoker's Dracula"( 1992).
A number of Coppola's relatives and children have become famous actors and filmmakers in their own right: his sister is the actress Talia Shire; his daughter Sofia Coppola and granddaughter Gia Coppola are directors, and the actors Jason Schwartzman and Nicolas Cage are his nephews.
Robert Bilheimer
Robert Bilheimer is the American director of Worldwide Documentaries.
He is the son of American Presbyterian theologian Robert S. Bilheimer.
Bilheimer received an Academy Award nomination for his film" The Cry of Reason".
The executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa, asked Bilheimer to make the film human trafficking documentary film" Not My Life", and later said that he chose Bilheimer because of his" solid reputation[ for] addressing difficult topics ... combining artistic talent, a philosophical view about development and a humanitarian sentiment about what to do about the issues."
Not My Life
Not My Life is a 2011 American independent documentary film about human trafficking and contemporary slavery.
The film was written, produced, and directed by Robert Bilheimer, who had been asked to make the film by Antonio Maria Costa, executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
Bilheimer planned" Not My Life" as the second installment in a trilogy, the first being" A Closer Walk" and the third being the unproduced" Take Me Home".
The title" Not My Life" came from a June 2009 interview with Molly Melching, founder of Tostan, who said that many people deny the reality of contemporary slavery because it is an uncomfortable truth, saying," No, this is not my life."
Filming of" Not My Life" took four years to complete, and documented human trafficking in 13 countries: Albania, Brazil, Cambodia, Egypt, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Italy, Nepal, Romania, Senegal, Uganda, and the United States.
The first and last scenes of the film take place in Ghana, and show children who are forced to fish in Lake Volta for 14 hours a day.
The film also depicts sex trafficking victims, some of whom are only five or six years old.
Fifty people are interviewed in the film, including investigative journalist Paul Radu of Bucharest, Katherine Chon of the Polaris Project, and Iana Matei of Reaching Out Romania.
Don Brewster of Agape International Missions says that all of the girls they have rescued from child sex tourism in Cambodia identify Americans as the clients who were the most abusive to them.
The film was dedicated to Richard Young, its cinematographer and co-director, after he died in December 2010.
It had its premiere the following month at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.
The narration was completely rerecorded in 2011, replacing Ashley Judd's voice with that of Glenn Close.
The version of the film that was aired by CNN International as part of the CNN Freedom Project was shorter than the version shown at the premiere.
In 2014, a re-edited version of the film was released.
" Not My Life" addresses many forms of slavery, including the military use of children in Uganda, involuntary servitude in the United States, forced begging and garbage picking in India, sex trafficking in Europe and Southeast Asia, and other kinds of child abuse.
The film also focuses on the people and organizations engaged in working against human trafficking.
The film asserts that most victims of human trafficking are children.
Actress Lucy Liu said that people who watch" Not My Lifewill be shocked to find[ human trafficking] is happening in America."
Lucy Popescu of Cine Vue criticized the film for focusing on the victims, arguing that the perpetrators of trafficking should have been dealt with more prominently.
" Not My Life" was named Best World Documentary at the Harlem International Film Festival in September 2012.
The Godfather Part II
The Godfather Part II is a 1974 American crime film produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a screenplay co-written with Mario Puzo, starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
Partially based on Puzo's 1969 novel" The Godfather", the film is both sequel and prequel to" The Godfather", presenting parallel dramas: one picks up the 1958 story of Michael Corleone( Pacino), the new Don of the Corleone crime family, protecting the family business in the aftermath of an attempt on his life; the prequel covers the journey of his father, Vito Corleone( De Niro), from his Sicilian childhood to the founding of his family enterprise in New York City.
Following the success of the first film, Paramount Pictures began developing a follow up to the film, with much of the same cast and crew returning.
Coppola, who was given more control on the film, had wanted to make both a sequel and a prequel to the film to tell the story of the rise of Vito and the fall of Michael.
Principal photography began in October 1973 and wrapped up in June 1974.
" The Godfather Part II" premiered in New York City on December 12, 1974, and was released in the United States on December 20, 1974, receiving divided reviews from critics but its reputation, however, improved rapidly and it soon became the subject of critical re-evaluation.
It grossed$ 88 million worldwide on a$ 13 million budget.
The film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards at the 47th Academy Awards and became the first sequel to win for Best Picture.
Its six Oscar wins also included Best Director for Coppola, Best Supporting Actor for De Niro and Best Adapted Screenplay for Coppola and Puzo. Pacino won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Both" The Godfather Part II" and its predecessor remain highly influential films, especially in the gangster genre, and the former has been reevaluated.
In 1997, the American Film Institute ranked it as the 32nd- greatest film in American film history and it retained this position 10 years later.
Some have deemed it superior to" The Godfather".
It was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1993, being deemed" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
The final film in the trilogy," The Godfather Part III", was released in 1990.
