For my money, there isn't a better actress in the industry at business asking.
This excerpt seems especially repetitive. More than that, I would add that this excerpt seems especially repetitive. And in conclusion, I’d like to point out that this excerpt seems especially repetitive.
Articles today keep repeating the main sentence over and over.
bland and uninteresting compared to the other members of the Corleone family.
REALLY??? please, she was a White Blond Girl to OFFSET all the other members of the Corleone family...
she filled the bill and was good in the part, feh
“Kay was a hated character? Why? “
I think that her elective abortion in Godfather II probably earned the character a fair amount of enmity.
I didn’t like that she had her son murdered.
Oh my gosh..
Paragraph after paragraph - ALL saying the SAME thing!!
I was a better writer when I was in the 4th grade..
A writer in desperate need of a copy editor.
She was a “normie” outside the “family” —of course she did not fit in. Michael was to have different life—one with a school teacher and living outside the family business—but all that changed. A hated character? I dunno, its a article title looking for an article...
Kay was a hated character? Why? It’s not like they blew her up in a car on a sun-kissed estate.
Damn you, Fabrizio!
I always wondered about how she felt about that part. She never seemed right in it except it’s a girl selected to hate because she’s not Italian or all on board with the mob but meanwhile if you think about it, she’s murdered her own child using abortion.
So the Godfather is an anti-abortion movie!
Or is it an against wives going on ahead without their husband’s consent?
Or is it a film to make the guys in the Godfather look like they aren’t so bad, they only kill other bad guys in their group?
The one thing I HATED about the absolute EPIC Godfather movies was the moronic Diane Keaton character. She played a whiny simp of a woman who I just couldn’t stand.
I don’t blame her for not knowing much about the story. Even though the book was a best seller, it only came out in 1969. I still think that was rather fast for a book to make it to the big screen.
I like the story about a murder mystery movie she was in. Had a big budget and a well known director but it had a problem. The film editor didn’t like it. After much wrangling the director knew he was right. So they dropped the murder mystery angle, recut it, and Woody Allen gave us the first modern ROM-com, “Annie Hall.”
She was very good in a Ripped-From-The-Headlines, TV movie, “On Thin Ice,” about a mother who becomes a drug addict then works a dangerous undercover job to avoid prison: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0345119/
Diane Keaton’s portrayal of Kay was the second weakest of any actor in any of the three films. First, and she only appeared in the last, was Sophia Coppola. No fault of her own. She simply wasn’t an actress. Pretty good director, as it turned out, but she couldn’t even have been described as an amateur actress. Just the director’s kid. I felt sorry for the critical abuse she took. In Keaton’s case she was just horribly miscast.
She was the only character that wasn’t evil in the entire movie. She wasn’t hated, she was sympathetic and how could feel anything other than sympathy for her?
This analysis is total BS.
OMG, OMG THE CAST DID NOT KNOW THAT THE MOVIE WAS ABOUT THE ......MAFIA.
HOW STIPID IS THAT. IT JUST PROVES THAT HE INTELLIGENCE ON THE LEFT IS ...SORRY TO SAY IT...STUPID WITH ABSOULTELY NO CONCEPT OF ...UNEXPEDED CONSEQUENCES.
My father is a Godfather aficionado who’s read all the books, the spinoff novelizations and anything else he could find. He claims that Kay had a miscarriage but told Michael it was an abortion to hurt him.
Ridiculous criticism. She was playing a WASP, not an Italian-American. Very reserved, repressed, “bland” culture, perfectly expressed in her “naïve” comment to Michael. She nailed it.
