The moment when Michael made the choice was a very subtle move...He was standing on the steps of the hospital and light's Enzo's cigarette....he pauses and looks at the lighter and snaps it shut.......at that moment, the flame (good Mike) goes out...along with his thought's of a legit life.....the turning point of the whole series
Interesting idea. I never thought about the symbolism of the light going out before.
I always felt that moment was when Michael realized his true path, but for a different reason.
As tough as he looks, Enzo is so nervous that he can't light his own cigarette. Michael does it for him and looks down at his steady hands, realizing that he has the personality and skill set to be a Don.
