In the book, Kay goes to see Mama Corleone and discovers that Michael has been back six months. In the movie Michael goes to see Kay at school and tells him he has been back a year.
i find this an interesting contrast. In the movie Michael is descent enough to go to see Kay. In the book, she has to track him down.
Is there a reason for this, or is Michael just a bit more heartless in the book?
in the book michael explained why he didn't sought after kay. He said that he didn't know or he was in doubt if kay would still take him back because its been 2 years since they last saw each other. Michael is not heartless in the book, he was just in doubt on wheter or not he will come and see kay. in the movie, i think the probable reason why michael came to see kay and not vice-versa is because the film wanted to show how much michael loves kay and confident that she would take him back.
But how apathetic is he on the death of his first wife?,realy? now im curious about that, why didn't michael, in the book or in the film, mourned for his wife's death in italy? he was "struck by lightning" wasn't he? something he didn't feel about kay, but why wasn't there a funeral or something? And to show how unaffected he is about this, in the movie, he goes straight for kay.
But maybe in the novel he didn't come to see kay because he is still thinking of his italian wife? plus the factor of doubt.
i dont know... am i making sense?..haha
