Yes, I agree. Also I rather liked the end where an old Michael just dies alone with no one to notice, much less care. Lost two brothers, lost his first wife, lost a daughter, estranged from his wife and son. All the years of pain, anguish, and death. And ultimately it was all for nothing. Coppola changed that ending in the recut "Coda" version he did a few years ago. Don't really understand why he did that – Michael's lonely death always seemed like the ultimate take-away from all three films.
