Yet the ending of The Godfather Part II is even more heart-breaking. He has lied to Kay about his involvement in killing Carlo and it represents the final nail in the coffin of her dreams that Michael might still be (however hidden) the version of the man she first fell in love with. When the door closes, she, and we, realize that the goodness in Michael is gone, shut away forever.

The ending of The Godfather where the door closes on Kay as Michael embraces his new role is a true gut-punch. (Image credit: Moviestore Collection Ltd / Alamy Stock Photo)īoth endings make us understand in the most visceral of ways how much Michael Corleone has evolved.

One of those was another Best Picture Oscar making it the only sequel in history to win Best Picture after its original had won. The Godfather Part II was a less commercially successful movie, making just $47million but critically it fared even better, taking home six of the 11 Oscars it was nominated for. In parallel, the film also acts as a sequel to the events of the first movie, following Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) as, with every step, plan and act of violence he transforms into the Don. The second chapter in the gangster saga covers Vito Corleone's early life (here played by Robert De Niro), how he rose to power, moved to the US and how the family came into being. And yet, just two years later Coppola created another epic that expanded the tightly-woven world of The Godfather and turned it into a gripping tragedy on a Shakespearean scale. After the huge critical and commercial success of The Godfather, which made over $250 million (over $1.6 billion adjusted for inflation) and won three Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Actor, for Marlon Brando), you'd think there was only one way for the sequel to go.
