The Godfather III



**The links for 1st and 2nd part has been attached below:

The story begins by showing Michael living in New York for the past 7 years. He is one of the most powerful mafia now but he has a lot of guilt in him. He has guilty of killing his brother. He donates all his money to charity. His two children don’t live with him anymore as he sends his kids to live with his wife. He has not met with his kids for the past 7 years. Due to his charitable works, he is honored by the church of New York.

He sends his children a letter saying that he sends them away to focus on their studies but should meet often as they are a family. He wants to be a family man now and recognizes the value of a family. He wants their family to be there while he is honored in the court. His son and daughter come to the church during the ceremony and so does his wife Kay. Michael’s son insists on leaving studies of law and becoming a singer instead. But Michael wants his son to complete law saying that his future would be secure after completing law. After completing law, his son could help him in the family business but he refuses to help Michael and leaves the room. The movie shows the argument between Kay and Michael now. They argue about Fredo’s death. Kay reveals that even his son knows about the death of Fredo. She also says that she did not come to the church but came because his children still want him. Michael wants their family to be one and says so to Kay. Kay agrees to Michael's request to not involve Antony (Michael’s son) in the family business. Michael agrees to this. Kay then leaves and returns back to the party.

At the party, there is a new character, Joey Zasa. He is a big businessman in New York where the Corleone family used to rule once. The Corleone family has left the mafia business in New York completely, due to which Zasa rules over New York now. He comes to Michael for help. Vincent Corleone who was the son of Sonny from his unmarried wife works for Joey Zasa. He also comes in to meet Michael and ask for help. He is like Sonny, very hot-headed. Zasa and Vincent have an argument and want to kill each other which Michael denies. Michaels asks them to make peace and hug each other. While hugging each other Zasa whispers in Vincent’s ear that he is a bastard. Hot-heated Vincent bites off his ear and the guards separate them. Michael is very disappointed and sends both of them out of the room. Michael wants Vincent to leave with him for some time to see his working style. He could keep Vincent to himself if he likes his working style.

Vincent returns home and is sleeping with a girl. Then, he suddenly realizes that there are some people entering his apartment. He sends the girl to fetch some water. Two people enter the apartment and grab the girl. Vincent kills one of them. After asking for several times to the other one, he says that Joey Zasa had sent him to kill him. Vincent goes to his aunt Connie. Connie takes Vincent to Michael and he is very much disappointed in him. He orders him to only do what he says.

Michael now goes to the church seeking help from the father of the church. The father of the church controls all the monetary activity of the church but he is robbed by his friends. So, he asks Michael for help. Michael agrees to give him six hundred million dollars and help him. But, Michael also wants something from the church. There is a company named Immobiliare (a very big European real estate company) whose 25% share is with the church. Michael wants to buy the entire share from the church. Michael now is not in any type of illegal activity like casino. He has already sold all of his previous companies. So, Michael decides to buy a 25% share of the Immobiliare company. He has bought the company for his children. Michael talks to his daughter Mary Corleone and tells her that he will help her with the business and he wants his son and daughter to do this kind of business. His daughter and his relationship start to grow from now on.

Michael holds a meeting with all the fellow casino owners and provides them all with a cheque as a reward for their service in the casino. Now, Michael holds only legitimate business. Here in the meeting, Joey Zasa is also present. Zasa is not given any reward in the meeting which makes him angry. He says that Michael is an enemy of his from now on and all the other members should choose between Michael or Zasa from now on and leave the meeting. Don Altobello who was the Godfather of Michael’s sister Connie was also present in the meeting. He always supports Michael and leaves the meeting saying that he will try to make peace between Michael and Zasa. Suddenly the whole place starts to shake and intruders from a helicopter start shooting everyone in the place. Most of the leaders in the room die and some escape alive. Vincent helps Michael at the time and they two along with Michael’s bodyguard escape. All the other leaders who survive join Zasa from now on.

In a conversation between Connie and Michael, Michael explains that Zasa is not that intelligent to make a plan this big. He thinks, there must be someone else with Zasa and they partnered up and carried out the attack. Then, one of the iconic moments of the movie where Michael says,” Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in” is shown. He knows that there is someone else with Zasa. Then suddenly Michael has a diabetic attack and is hospitalized. He realizes that Don Altobello who always tried to show that he was one of the most trusted advisors of Michael was behind the attack. Vincent now wants to take revenge on Zasa for the attack and Michael’s sister angrily tells him to do whatever he wants.

Kay, Michael’s divorced wife comes to visit Michael in the hospital. She tells him that his son is doing very well in singing and has a debut in Opera in Sicily. Michael is very happy with this fact and says he will come to Sicily anyhow. Mary and Vincent now start to fall in love.

Vincent goes to take revenge on Zasa and shoots him and kills him. Michael is very angry with Vincent and orders him not to do so from now on. Vincent tries to defend him by saying that Connie had agreed to his plan to take revenge on Zasa and also Zasa would have killed him at that time, so he had to shoot Vincent. Michael explains his relationship with Sonny, Vincent’s father. He says that Sonny loved him very much but they two were never on the same side. Sonny was a hot-headed person and never thought about anything before doing so. He says, this was the reason for his death and he doesn’t want the same to happen to Vincent. Vincent now agrees with Michael and says he will not do so from now on. He also says to Vincent that Mary is his cousin and he should stay away from him as her life was in danger with him.

The movie now shows Sicily, where all the Corleone family members are gathered for the Opera event. Michael and Vincent make plans. The plan is that Vincent should be close with Don Altobello and know about his plans against Michael. Vincent starts doing so from now on. He gains the trust of Don Altobello and now is a member of his crew. Don Altobello takes Vincent to meet a politician from Italy who is also a chairman of Immobiliare company. Don Altobello and his companion’s plan was to dissolve Michael from the Immobiliare company and take all his money. Now, Michael knows all about their plan.

Due to old age, Michael is now emotionally weak and does all his work according to his father Vito. Michael has regrets about his past deeds and now wants to do something for his family. He does all the work keeping his family safe from now on. He goes to a father and tells him about all his bad deeds which make him less guilty. Michael and Kay also meet in Sicily. Michael explains to Kay that he always used to love her and will never forget her and so does Kay. He also explains to Kay about all the bad deeds he has done. Now, Michaels improves his relationship with his family.

Don Altobello sends a hitman to kill Michael in Sicily. They first kill Don Tommasino. He was the one, where Michael was staying during his visit to Sicily. Michael is very sad due to the death of Don Tommasino. Vincent talks to Michael and says that Don Altobello has hired a hitman and he is already in Sicily. Vincent asks Michael permission to kill the hitman but Michael denies saying he will forever be stuck in this mess if he does so. But Vincent does not want to get out of the mess in fact and wants power. Michael asks Vincent to make a promise to stay away from Mary. Vincent agrees to the proposal. Michael then makes Vincent the Godfather and he could do anything that he wishes to do. Vincent now has all the power and is a mafia leader now.

The day of the Opera performance is here. All his family members are present in the show. The hitman whom Don Altobello has hired to kill Michael is also present in the theatre. The hitman fails to kill Michael in the theatre. In the other scene, it is shown that Vincent orders to kill Fredrick, who was the one to oppose Michael to get into the Immobiliare Company. In the opera, Connie gives poison to Don Altobello. Don Altobello dies while watching the Opera. Don Lucchesi (the Italian Politician) is also killed now in the movie by Vincent’s men.

The pope who agreed to give ownership to Michael of the Immobiliare Company is killed. Then a new pope in the church is made. The new pope is the one with whom Michael had confessed all his wrongdoings earlier. He is a good pope and agrees to give the ownership to Michael but he is soon killed by poisoning his tea. Michael's bodyguard kills the one who poisons the new pope. Now, all the big dogs who were conspiring against Michael have been killed in the movie. But the hitman, who was hired to kill Michael, is still alive. The opera is now completed and Michael and his family members are gathered with the press outside the theater. The hitman shoots Michael outside the theater. Vincent finds the hitman and shoots him and kills him. Now, it is shown that the bullets that the hitman had fired toward Michael had struck his daughter Mary and killed her. Michael screams like a madman due to Mary’s death.

The ending scene of The Godfather III shows an old-aged Michael who is sitting outside in a chair in Sicily. He falls off the chair and dies of old age. This scene completes one of the greatest trilogies to be ever made, The Godfather.
