Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down the Godfather Part 3.
just when I was out they pull me back in
Urrrr it's one of those isn't it. Like whenever you talk about the movie I think that you're obviously gonna get a lot of mixed feelings. Out of the entire trilogy this was the one I was most curious to come back to because it really hasn't got a good reputation. Even though it was nominated for best picture everyone agrees that this was the worst.
Whether its Sofia Coppolas performance, pay disputes behind the scenes or just the general...almost tv feel to it, everything was lambasted at the time. Now whenever Ive gone back to it I've always thought...eh...not so bad. Unfortunately though this is a sequel to two of the greatest films ever made so no matter what things were always gonna come up short. Coppola stated that he wanted to make an epilogue which would tell the aftermath of Michaels story. Those first two films handled it perfectly and thus many felt this was an unnecessary sequel.
However since its release I do think that the movies gained a fanbase. Coppola also recently re-edited the film and that's a major aspect of things I wanna talk about.

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.

[@erwinquiachon8054]

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.

[@erwinquiachon8054]

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."

[@erwinquiachon8054]

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.

[@rackinfrackin2883]

Well, yeah, actually it really IS that bad.

[@KJM1984]

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.

[@jameswhorton1973]

you pimping overpriced tv dinners for 3 minutes before the video starts was way more painful than the godfather part 3

[@cameronshryock955]

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

[@DrFroyd123]

Disaster? For who? It was just the studio milking the cow!

[@garrybaldy327]

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.

[@homermontana2392]

didn't you see her reaction when mary first died she was hysterical and then she was shocked at seeing michael like that

[@alexanderdumas-]

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.

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.

It was a best picture nominee. Let that sink in.

[@erwinquiachon8054]

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]

Is this “best writing” in the room with us now?

[@erwinquiachon8054]

@@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.

[@tyrantbossmedia2230]

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.

He is shown pronouncing "Mancini" wrong because it shows that his character is further removed from the roots of the Sicilian part of the family and he is just more of an italian-AMERICAN. He doesn't have the innate reverence for his family lineage.

[@jenniferjohnson-jb7ki]

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.

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.

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.

This film is great, just not as good as the first two. This is arguably Al Pacino’s best performance and Michael’s story in this film is an absolute masterpiece. It’s just that the incest storyline, bad acting from Sofia Coppola, and stupid plots with Zasa and killing the Pope don’t compare to the perfection of the first two

My brother saw this in the theater after loving the first two and he said it was like being kicked in the head. 😂

[@grahamblack1961]

With the first film he was setting Al Pacino up as Marlon Brando's successor which was fair enough. With the third was he implying Andy Garcia was the new Al Pacino? No disrespect to Andy Garcia but that's kind of dumb.

The woman didn't think to call the police after some man showed up on her porch with a knife?? Come on now, common sense

I’ve watched Part I & II more than any other movie. I just feel the cinematography & dialogue in Part III are clunky. So clunky I just can’t get past the drop in quality no matter how much I try. This is partly down to the drop in standard is noticeable in practically every shot from when the party starts in Part III. I just felt like I was watching a TV drama. This is my opinion of course, and I’m happy for others who loved the movie.

Starting to think there is a pattern with Coppola and tough productions

Complete disaster? Goodness, it's not a Disney fiasco! Sure, it failed to measure up to two of the greatest films ever made. Yet still garnered a Best Picture nod if that signifies anything. But anyway, the new cut is its worst iteration. Its just less information and motivation. That's not good. Coppola never had a strong vision for it, and you can tell he still doesn't. Sofia Coppola is truly horrible. I mean that in every aspect of her existence as a human being. But anyway, Francis should have cast Marissa Tomei as Michael's daughter in the first place. Nevermind Winona Ryder. Give me a month in the editing bay, and I'll deliver its best potential. I'll just lose the cringe. Guarentee it couldn't be worse.

Lets hear it for Enzo the baker!

The third one wasn’t horrible, but it could have been better. It just couldn’t hold a candle to the first two.
