I agree with everything everyone has said,especially MrSoprano. All through GF3,I always get the felling Michael feels his lafe is wasted. He was a Dartmouth Grad, he could really have become anything.In the scene where he says "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." It really hits me that you can never go back. Michael never wanted to be involved in that, and he cvould never get out. His whole life has been lived for someone else.
