Remind me when this classified as an "action" movie. We are speaking of the film in which the studio almost brought in a second director, because the film did not have enough action in it, are we not?

There was occasional action, a minimal amount for a crime-drama, and I wouldn't have it anyway. I mean, they loaded Scarface with action to make it hold the attention of its viewers (whom must've all been diganosed with adult ADD), and in the end it sucked. [/b][/quote]Exactly, LLC, I agree. I am afraid you misunderstood me. I meant that in the eyes of many, this movie was just a movie about killing people. I don't see it as that, but others do. And this game, will only inforce that.

Where did I say that?
I don't say that he chose the screenplay because of money. I said that the movie was made because of money, othervise he'd never consent to return to the franchise. He had many versions of the script. He planned that Mike and Kay will have sex. (what's with that poor guy her husband? ) And there was a funeral of Michael even filmed already. And in the beginning, when they simply didn't know what to write, they had a version where Antony would take over the corleone Family, will be recruited by FBI and will fight some Latino-American dictator...
When Pacino asked too much, FFC said he'll just begin the movie with Michael's funeral.
So it was of no importance for him what it will be all about. Sure he did not do it in a way attractive to the audience, but then, it didn't attract. Compare its boxoffice success. Would you pay to see incest and someone repenting something endlessly? I wouldn't. And I'm not alone.[/b][/quote]I agree. This movie wasn't made for the audience. But, from what you say, its a little odd that Coppola pretty much didn't care where the film was going, yet he didn't conform to a certain area in order to be guarenteed a bigger income.

However, I can still see why he is mad that people are taking his story and doing something that he doesn't want done. I would be mad too.
