Corleone Pays For His Sins: The Ending to The Godfather III

He had been trying to redeem himself for years and become legitimate for the safety of his family. This night he celebrated what he felt was retirement for him.

But Michael Corleone's worst fears are realized when his daughter pays the ultimate price for his criminal past.

This is perhaps the saddest ending to a movie ever. I cannot watch Al Pacino's performance in this scene without crying.

This is an amazing scene, but it loses some of its lustre because Sofia Coppola is so epically horrible as Mary Corleone, you can't help but feel a bit of relief when she dies (because you won't have to see her attempt to act any more). I think she's an amazing director, but I just wish she had discovered that before she ruined the Godfather III.

this would have worked better as a play or better, an opera. this isn't filmic by any stretch. too dramatic.

And to swampgirl, the beautiful ending of the sopranos is that you could read into it what you will. Some believe that to get "hit" by the mafia is to never see it coming. You wouldn't even hear the gun -- just black, you're dead. And that's how it ended. truly and highly artistic.

Oh good lord, I couldn't disagree with you more!!! The ending to the Sopranos was the biggest TV disappointment I've ever experienced.

We were not fans from the start. Back early 2006 we started watching them on disc. We were caught up in time to watch the last season with everyone.

To have enjoyed the entire series in such a short amount of time only to have to endure that last season was madding. After the last episode, I canceled HBO.

There was no justice/karma whatever you want to call it. Tony Soprano should have died or his son should have been gunned down in front of him.

The ONLY ending Sopranos should have had is massive death. Everyone near and dear should have died. Tony should have paid for his life, period.

The writers didn't have the gonads to finish what they started.
