We need an alternate universe Godfather where Apollonia doesn't die.

The entire ‘Michael in Sicily’ sequence is like a movie within a movie. Completely different light, scenery, tempo, pacing but utterly compelling, riveting cinema.

This whole Sicily sequence felt like a dream.

After all these years I still think about how different Michael would be had Apollonia lived and stood by him.

I love how Apollonia look at her mother before opening the present.

I always felt that Apollonia's death took away all love and sympathy from Michael. Until her death he was redeemable. He never really wanted to be a part of his father's business. But when "they" took her away, at that very moment he longed for power and from then power became his new ally. Everything he did from that point onwards was for power. Even his proposal for Kay was more out of a need than of love. The need to have kids who can takeover his empire once he retires. Apollonia's death was the reason for his falling from grace more than anything else.

I keep coming back to this video in every couple of days. The scenes where Michael is in Sicily feel so different from the rest of the movie. I love it. It reminds us of the old school love Stories, you see a girl, it's love at first sight, you go to her house and ask her hand in marriage. And the music does add a soul to this romance!

I think Michael loved her more than Kay and his heart really died when she did.

That's the best "love at first sight" moment ever put on film.

Michael’s time with Apollonia was his one true love in life, brief but pure.

Apollonia was pregnant at the time of her death. Michael changed after that moment he lost his beautiful wife and the unborn child.

Appollonia was one of the most naturally beautiful women ever. Didn't need makeup.

No one can ever beat Mr. Al Pacino's screen presence!  Period..

Apollonia was the absolute real deal.

Apollonia had a mediterranean beauty. She could be greek, spanish, portuguese, lebanese, Italian...in the movie she's from Sicily. Nothing is more mediterranean than Sicily.

What a gentleman. THATS how you court a beautiful lady. Old school

when she shows her necklace to him... damn that scene is my fav

Never kill a Corleone's true love, as he will kill your whole crew.

Her part in the movie is
very brief, yet her beauty is extremely impressive and remains in the memory of all viewers.

The most beautiful scenario in the movie is when Michael and Apolonia went for a walk and the village of ladies walked behind them. Respectful tradition.
