Long/Short/In-between Answers:

1. Although he did get killed, Rocco's hit on Roth was NOT considered a suicide mission. After being questioned about it by Michael, he stated it would be 'difficult...not impossible'. Which implies that though extremely dangerous, he felt he could possibly accomplish the mission and escape.

2. Rocco was NOT involved in the Tahoe hit. IF HE WERE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THAT AT SOME POINT IN THE FILM.

3. Rocco also appears to be possibly one of the guys eating Chinese food before Mike heads off to the Solozzo hit. Any more 'possibly Rocco' sightings?

4. The only thing FFC is 'slapping us in the face' with is just about everything in GFIII. Most every other minute detail can be whatever we want to read into it.

5. What symbolism do we see in the gnoochi-rolling that takes place between Mary & Vincent? I think that's worth exploring next.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
