The efforts make The Godfather Part III better by addressing the pacing of the story and is an attempt at trying to make a better film. Coppola being an excellent filmmaker was aware of this and it’s evident by the time taken by Coppola to succumb to the pressure of the fans and studio combined with the re-edit it feels like he would have been entirely different if he had an opportunity, unfortunately, time doesn’t work like that. Coppola didn’t want to make a trilogy but only two films as the end of the second film act as the final piece of a puzzle and complete everything rendering the third Godfather useless. The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone takes an awful inclination towards spirituality which seems forced and unwanted. I define the hate as something that should have been avoided simply because even if she is the director’s daughter, she simply couldn’t have altered the course of action substantially as various errors are simply structural. A simple Google search with the keywords will let you feel the sheer hatred people have for her and the various discussion forums, it’s an unwarranted hatred stemming from the love for the film and its characters. Moving forward, the re-edit tries but fails to garner anything for Sofia Coppola and her role remains unchanged. In order to be ethical and respectful, I have not decoded specific scenes added or removed, because if I did that it would have defeated the whole purpose of the re-edit.
The rekindling of his other ventures has been successful because they were standalone projects and not a trilogy with a cult following, which makes the first two films the bane of last by being the benchmark for it. Francis Ford Coppola is an amazing filmmaker and I am disappointed at the decision of re-editing this film as it was not a good idea in the first place.
I don’t want to see the reader rage against me for writing this so I just wanted to point out two things:. Coppola has tried his best to salvage something out of nothing by reducing the length of the film and removing various scenes and even tries to tweak the ending by providing spirituality to the demise of Michael Corleone but the changes are like taking a different route to the same location, with a minor spiritual detour at the end. It is a feeble attempt and simply not enough to make you feel like it’s finally what The Godfather Part III should have been.
