Hey guys I have an exam on the odyssey next Tuesday, has anybody here read the odyssey and if so what do you think, I think it would be fun to give my opinion on things I think about the odyssey.
Hi! Just wanted to say that I’m grateful for you post defending Kay! I noticed that she got accused of being xenophobic against Italian people, even though she literally isn’t. Curious if you plan on debunking this?
Hello I’m glad that you loved the post, and yeah it does seem like a good idea on writing about that very false claim in my opinion it’s false even though she’s made questionable statements. I wouldn’t be able to make it any time soon though because of exams and I have a writing competition that I’m entering however straight after you will have another long post about Kay :) Thank you for the suggestion 🤍🤍
It’s my Pacino’s birthday today happy birthday to my love <333
"I was in Sicily and we were doing the wedding scene, he (Francis Ford Coppola) said 'Al just go...' because you know, he is trying to make a film and I'm hanging around asking him stupid questions he said 'Al just go over to the family group and speak Italian to them' I said I don't speak Italian Francis! He said 'It doesn't matter just say anything to them, it's ok I got a camera over there don't worry about it' I said I'm not worried, he said 'just go over there and do it!' so I go over there and I'm trying to talk to them [laughs] then he says 'now what you do is you get up and you grab the girl you are going to marry and you do the waltz just round in a circle' I said Francis I can't waltz! I've never waltzed. He said 'You've not waltzed? What do you mean you can't? Just go TAKE HER AROUND!" I said ok, ok I will go do it. So I got the girl, who did not like me for starters, oh god she just... I don't know had her eyes somewhere else I guess. But I was going around the thing with the girl and I was dizzy and everything which didn't matter. Then he says 'Now get in the car and go!' I said Francis I don't drive! and I swear to you, I swear he said 'WHY DID I HIRE YOU?'
Al Pacino stories from the set of The Godfather (THR Awards Chatter podcast)
Kay to me is an underrated character, she is so over-hated in my eyes and it’s understandable in the sense that Michael is the ‘protagonist’ and Apollonia was the best match for this protagonist that we follow however there are many things to say in Kay’s defence and why she should not be as overlooked as she is.
I’ll start of with the obvious, she fell in love with a sweet, kind-hearted man who fought for his country and wanted nothing to do with his family’s “business”. Instead of judging him on the bases of his family and arguing that she cannot be with him because of what his father does, she judged him by his own character and his own autonomy to choose what he does. That in its self is a very overlooked factor about Kay, she judges Michael on his own self and has the heart to do so, she loves Michael despite what his family is like and not many people do that. She was shocked to say the least when Michael told her about the story of how Johnny Fontaine became famous yet she still listened to Michael’s classic “it’s my family Kay not me”.
Michael decided to avenge his fathers shootings and proceeds to evacuate to Sicily to seek refuge as he had just committed murder. Kay is left in the dark in all of this, she even proceeds to tell Michael that she’s called and written over a hundred times and he never answered, he left and got married to another woman, whom I adore very much and I know that if he stayed with Apollonia the godfather would have been a completely different story and Michael would have not been as tragic of a character, but Kay was not told about any of this. She did not receive any closure and tried to still keep in contact with the man she loves. She then of course gives up because you can only try so much when the person you love does not reply to anything.
Then of course Michael returns to Kay because Apollonia has died and he has to come back to America, it’s so overlooked how manipulated Kay was in that scene. Her kindness was taken advantage of and her emotion too. She was vulnerable and that vulnerability was used. Michael tells her that in five years their family business will be legitimate and that his father is no different from a senator or a lawyer which in fact is not false, however in Kay’s eyes since she was very naive at this point, she did not understand all the evil that goes on with powerful people even politicians and senators. He gets her back together with him because of her kind heart and proceeds to lie to her a lot. Including the classic lie about killing Carlo.
He has taking advantage of her naivety to the point where she had to act on the worst, her kindness was truly taken for weakness and because of that she knew what was at stake for her family. In a deleted scene of ‘the godfather part II’ Anthony runs up to Michaels button men and Kay runs after him to stop him. This shows how corrupt her and Michaels son Anthony is becoming. She knew she had to get Anthony away from this toxic world or he would end up like all the men that surround him. “Look what’s happened to our son” she screams at Michael later on in the film and “Anthony’s friends are your button men” which is what this scene was foreshadowing. Her anger is seen to her son becoming in a corrupt state of mind, he’s an insecure little boy who rarely sees his father yet looks up to him so much, of course there was much for Kay to worry about.
Going back to how Michael told Kay that the family will be legitimate in 5 years “well that was 7 years ago” Kay rightfully states. She can tell at the height of Michaels power he will never change, he has been don for 7 years now and has not backed out. His father was avenged yet he’s still continuing because once you’re up it’s unlikely you will come down and Kay can see that very clear with Michael as he did not keep the promise he made to Kay. She knew that no matter how much longer she would stay Michael would never change his ways even when he says “I swear I’ll change I’ve learnt I have the strength to change” Kay saw right through that because of all the lies she has been subjected to.
Over all this abuse to her lead to Kay leaving Michael in one of the cruellest ways, taking away his unborn child and attempting to take away his children. Was it cruel yes, however it was very much justified in the sense that Michael has abused her psychology for years, she only wanted to escape. She was physically trapped and mentally trapped in a world she hated and did not want to subject her children to and that in itself took a lot of strength. We all clearly know that the abortion hurt Michael but nobody ever thought about the pain Kay went through, physical and psychological, those are only of the abortion. This is her child that she was going to love as well, yet she felt she had no other choice but to get an abortion. There is also the pain of getting to the stage of the abortion, Kay’s emotions in all of the godfather is ver under-appreciated she is also a tragic character.
I will conclude all of this with a thesis of Kay being a misunderstood character who is over-despised and equally as tragic. Michael wanted a western independent woman and when he got that woman he couldn’t handle her, everything that came from Kay was very justified and Michael while he will always be my favourite character it has to be understood that he was a psychopath who was always within the depth of his own loneliness Kay was subjected to Michael’s powerful ‘wrath’ and did what she had to do.
Thank you for reading and have a great day!
