Yes, coming after two of the greatest masterpieces (not just of American cinema, but cinema in general), it is no surprise why this film received so much flak. But, comparisons aside, it does remain a competent work and comprises of few memorable moments. <br /><br />Great to know that you fully concur with that point of view. I really hope that people start accepting this instead of throwing brickbats at it just because it couldn't live up to the monstrous expectations created by the first two films in the trilogy.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing up for bringing up the "intermezzo". That certainly was one of the highlights of the movie. And the last scene, where the aged and alone Michael, residing at an empty, dilapidated mansion, falls off his chair, was a really heartbreaking moment.<br /><br />Thanks again Sam.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-46403102977449333162011-07-10T01:17:01.972+05:302011-07-10T01:17:01.972+05:30Released stateside the same year as Scorsese's...Released stateside the same year as Scorsese's GOODFELLAS, (1990) it's no wonder, Shubhajit, that this film was grossly underestimated, and always seen as a pale trace of the first two American masterpiece, which truth be said it doesn't come anywhere near in artistic merit. Still I do concur with the gist of your argument here, and feel it's largely a most comelling and unforgettable film, narrative uneveness aside. There are some brilliant scenes, the acting is quite good (except for Sophia Coppola, whom you rightly note,who is a rank amateur and unable to bring any conviction to her part. Luckily for her, however (and for Coppola) he has the ravishing "Intermezzo" from Pietro Mascagni's 1890 'verismo' opera "Cavalleria Risticana' to give the picture some serious emotional resonance. of course that majestic piece of music would enhance and elevate any film it complements (it was employed brilliantly in RAGING BULL in the credit sequence) and it's aching elegiac beauty is the perfect aural accompaniment for the Shakespearean grandeur of the film's most wrenching scene, the montage of remembrance when Michael remembers his slain daughter.<br /><br />In years from now this film will gain in reputation, when the spectre of the first two has settles to allow for a full consideration of this landmark saga of American cinema.<br /><br />As always you've done your subject exceeding justice here!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-51116031624249418762011-07-08T19:28:43.984+05:302011-07-08T19:28:43.984+05:30Thanks Jonny.

People tend to brush this film aside just because it followed 2 masterpieces, without so much as giving this film a chance.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-83556698405127275472011-07-08T18:35:57.996+05:302011-07-08T18:35:57.996+05:30Shubhajit,

I think it undeservedly has taken a lot of criticism over the years.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656287096270976604noreply@blogger.com
