While watching GFIII the other night I came upon the scene where Michael and Vincent are discussing Vincent's role as the leader of The Corleone family. Finally Michael tells Vincent
" Give up my daughter, it's the price that you pay for choosing this life." As I watched this scene I wondered to myself, did Micheal tell him to give up his daughter because of the life that Vincent would live, or did he tell him this because he (Michael) wanted to save the family from the shame of two cousins having relations?
Personally I think that it was a combination of both with the assurance that his daughter would not live the life that his mother and wife had lived being the main reason for this command. What are some of your thoughts?
