[edit] The Godfather Part II

Hello. You may have noticed that I've reverted your multiple attempts to add the word "lamenting" to the plot section of The Godfather Part II, in the description of the final image of Al Pacino as Michael Corleone sitting alone in the Corleone compound. You should know that I've also removed other editors' attempts to add descriptive words there (such as "contemplating") for the simple reason that there is no way to confirm what the character is thinking at that point. There is no dialogue, and no voice over to explain the character's inner thoughts, and the director has not provided any other means for us to know what's going on inside Michael's head. I think this was deliberate on Coppola's part, to allow us to project onto Michael our own feelings at that moment, but that's speculation on my part -- in any event, there's no visual or scripted support for any additional words there.

Please consider giving up the attempt to add "lamenting" to the plot description at that point. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 17:25, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Just a note: making the same edit using an ISP isn't going to get it accepted any easier. If you think you have a case to make why "lamenting" should be included, please go to the talk page and lay it out. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 06:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
