I'm rewatching GFI for the umpteenth time and I noticed something.. as we all know, in the novel when Vito dies, Michael is there with him and he says something like "Life is so beautiful" before he dies. Anyone else think that this should have been done in the movie as well? It would make the series a LOT more tragic given the way that Michael dies... they could have added a flashback to that at the end of GFIII, to show that Vito died appreciating what he had done for his family; Michael died regretting everything. Maybe I'm just crazy But I personally think it would have made Michael's death that much sadder... thoughts?

Am I the only one who thinks that the "life is beautiful" line in the novel was kind of cheesy? I think that Vito's death scene in the film was much more appropriate. The Godfather was made in a real-world setting. Vito's death scene reflects that reality. Nobody utters the words, "life is beautiful" as they're dying. It would have seemed out of place, IMO.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
