The Godfather 3 is unfortunately known as the “Fredo” of the Godfather trilogy, most of us try to avoid this film when rewatching the saga, Not really because the film itself is terrible, rather because it is compared to it predecessors which are 2 of the greatest films ever made in cinema history. And it's understandable, it has many negative aspects and problems that I’m sure you know about. But one thing that seems to be often overlooked, and not really addressed is that the storyline itself is brilliant. The execution however is a different story. But the main storyline is actually very interesting. But the problem is, that the other issues overshadow the main story, and dilute what could have been a brilliant film on par with the prequels. In fact, most people who watch the film are left confused and disgruntled not only because of the glaring issues the film has, but because the storyline seems vague and obscure. Which is unfortunate because it did have the potential to end the saga as brilliantly as it had started.
So after multiple requests, we are finally going to breakdown The Godfather 3. Let's see if by analysing the story, unraveling the different plots and clarifying different aspects of the film, can change our opinion, and atlas appreciate some of the positives it has.
The film has many faults, but after doing a lot of researching and rewatching the films, I can guarantee that in the next few videos covering this film, your opinion will somewhat shift.
So In this video we will breakdown the core of the entire story, and once we understand this the rest will make a lot more sense, and you’ll probably have a completely new perspective on the overall story.
International Immobiliare was a European real estate company. Its properties were worth over $6 billion by the 1970's, making it the largest landowner in the world. The Vatican owned a 25 percent interest in the company.
Michael had slowly become one of the biggest investors and owners of the company, however wanted to be the majority stake holder, to allow him almost complete control of this Billion Dollar conglomerate, So he needed the Vaticans 25%.
This is why when he was approached to help "Gilday", in recovering their $769 million deficit. He utilised this incident to what he saw as the final move that will absolve himself and the family from their criminal past, and finally give him the recognition and image he desperately wanted. This would be Michael's most ambitious and the most dangerous venture he had ever gone after. The risks were extremely high and the repercussions could be even higher, but if he succeeded the rewards would be astronomical. Let’s not forget, this is not a simple business deal to him, the amount he will be making would be unheard of within his world. The Corleone family would be one of the wealthiest families not just in America, but in the world. It is true generational wealth that will last long after Michael is gone.
Don Vito could only have dreamed of his family’s wealth to reach such heights.
But once again, and As we later find out, Michael was getting involved in something incredibly dangerous, that this time he would not be able to recover from.
