So, I've never seen The Godfather movies (pause for mocking laughter) and I started watching the "Novel For Television" version on cable. It's 9 hours over four nights, and the three movies are chopped up so that the narrative runs in chronological order.
I'm wondering what the structure is for each of the movies. Where does each begin and end?
Does "The Godfather," end with that famous door closing scene? Does "The Godfather II" open with the party at Micheal's place in Vegas? Which one does Brando die in, and for that matter do you see any of Deniro in the first flick, or is he strictly in flashbacks in Part II?
When do they whack Jar Jar Binks?
