Really an appropriate song for Michael...though he was driven to it, it seems, especially by the murder of Sicilian wife. After that, Kay was simply a "brood-mare" as my dad put it. Anyway, lovely video...I'm jealous of your coloring!
@MagicCrafter: I've always thought Kay was a bit of an idiot. First, she permits herself to become convinced that Michael still loves her, when it's obvious he doesn't. Then she marries into the mafia and expects him to change, and then she worms her way OUT of the mafia lifestyle by telling him she aborted his son. It's a good thing she counted on him not to be the cold, heartless bastard she kept telling him he was, or she'd be... dead.
@MagicCrafter I've always said that Michael metaphorically died right when his Sicilian wife did. Her death emotinally destroyed him, and the only way to survive the evil, was to become it. And he didn't care about Kay, she was more of an image and baring his kids kind of thing.
Very good song, it fits especially Michael, I think he was as tough as his father, and in the book as well, however in the book Vito was more cold than in the movie and similar to Michael, nonetheless Michael beats his dad in terms of insecurities and trying to beat his father by extending the family's empire. And in the movies, especially the last two in a way he did but he lost it all, while his dad despite of what he was, was more loved.
@DarkLadyAthena1: it's true, in the book Vito was much colder than he comes across on screen -- I still remember Connie going to him for help when Carl was beating her, and her father informing her, coldly, to "stop giving him a reason to" beat her, inferring that he didn't really give a rip. In general, however, I think the underlining emphasis is that Michael is the superior Don (in terms of power and influence), but Vito is the superior man when it comes to his family.
@ladyvignette -Yep totally I was put off when I read the book and saw how Vito did not care when Connie ran to him for help, not only that but also her mother did not seem to mind at all *_* But yeah in both versions Vito comes as the superior man in terms of family, and Michael in terms of money and influence. Then again Michael came with a higher education and since the beginning he had more ambitions.
@DarkLadyAthena1: It is indeed chilling, but it's a perfect representation of their culture -- anything within the family is fine, but if you step outside the family and betray them, you're dead. I also think Michael had more of an emotionless mentality because he served in the military. Vito wasn't afraid to do things but he had more restraint than Michael, which meant he was not as feared.
Wow this is amazing. The song is perfect for Michael.

It's a nice thought to know Michael dies on his own, nobody double crossed him, took a hit out on him, he died an old man.
