Absolutely. It's especially evocative considering that half the characters in that scene are dead, several of them killed by Michael's own hand. That's one of the reasons that I think the GF2 ending is so much better than the one in GF3; GF3 is just an imitation. At the end of GF2, we see that Michael is going to think long and hard about his crimes; they won't escape him. Speaking for myself while viewing GF3, it was a disappointment bordering on unbelievability to see that Michael was still involved in the underworld at all.
