Do you think there’s time for redemption after you have done so much crime while being an Italian mafia boss during your reign? Veteran director Francis Ford Coppola thought there was.
The acclaimed director made a bold choice to include Sofia Coppola (his daughter) in one of the prominent roles in the film. Unfortunately,The Godfather Part IIIreceived brutal criticism and Sofia Coppola got the brunt of it.
There was nothing more to say inThe Godfather Part III
It started with Vito Corleone handing the keys of his empire to Michael Corleone through a series of unfortunate events. Mario Puzo’sThe Godfatherwhich was released in 1972 received worldwide acclaim and love from millions of fans.
The second film expanded on Michael Corleone’s ruthless expansion of his empire.The Godfather Part IIhas often been called the best part of the entire trilogy. In 1990,Francis Ford Coppoladecided to conclude the trilogy on a high note (or rather a low note) with Michael Corleone closing down his empire.

Many people thought that thepremise of the film was a masterful stroketo an already iconic painting. Others thought that Coppola had lost its edge, and thus,The Godfather Part IIIwas considered the worst-rated film of the entire trilogy.

Unfortunately, the film also had Sofia Coppola (the daughter of Ford Coppola) in the role of Mary Corleone, the daughter of Michael Corleone. Since the movie was not well-received,Sofia Coppolagot the brunt of it since she was in a prominent role.
Sofia Coppola got the brunt of it
Back in the day, Sofia Coppola was called by several magazines for a photo shoot due to her involvement in the film. However, when the magazines were published, Coppola did make the cover page but it wasn’t what she expected.
The cover page talked about how she was one of the pivotal reasons for the movie’s failure. Most of the reviews had something bad to say about Sofia Coppola. In an interview with theNY Times, the actress talked about how she was unfazed by it.
It was embarrassing to be thrown out to the public in that kind of way. But it wasn’t my dream to be an actress, so I wasn’t crushed. I had other interests. It didn’t destroy me.
AlthoughThe Godfather Part IIIwas nominated for 7 Oscar awards, people weren’t really able to understand the metaphor and the need for redemption for Michael Corleone.
