I saw The Godfather III yesterday, after at least 6 months, and I just wanted to delete all those 177 minutes of the movie and focus on the last 3 minutes: These last minutes were the real Godfather Part III. A culmination of the entire saga, with Michael reaching his most decisive moment: The death of the most beloved person in his world. After all these years of fighting with his enemies for his family and his own sake, this is what he gets as a reward for his sins. His scream makes us realize that his life was to be permanently destroyed and would mark his loneliness until the end of his days. This man's agony is real. That is why he dies surrounded by a couple of dogs in a crappy old villa. In those flashbacks, he is shown dancing with the most important women on his life, and all have been lost by him.
