However, religion has never been at the forefront of these movies (it doesn’t play much of a factor at all in Godfather Part II except when Fredo recites a Hail Mary while fishing), and so starting with a big church service recalls the first Godfather but not the second. In the original cut of Part III, we can see Michael once again making a mockery of religion and using it to try and purchase salvation. The original church scene coincides nicely with that approach as it calls back the famous baptism scene in the original Godfather where Michael has all his enemies murdered while he’s at the baptism of Connie’s (Talia Shire) baby. By starting with the ruins of Part II, we’re able to see how Michael’s final unforgivable act-the murder of his brother-hangs over the rest of the movie, which is important because the final film, whether it’s Part III or Coda, is one long business deal, but the deal is Michael trying to buy his way out of sin. In the original cut of Part III it’s easy to see what Coppola was going for. ‘When the Sicilians wish you ‘Cent’anni’, it means ‘for long life’…and a Sicilian never forgets.’” Instead, the screen fades to black and ends with the title card: The new ending instead goes for a close-up of Michael in his chair, but he doesn’t die. He then keels over and dies, his body falling out of his chair in a darkly comic moment as the screen cuts to black. Dogs play at his feet, and he holds an orange (a recurring symbol of death in The Godfather movies) that falls out of his hand and drops to the ground.
The original ending had Michael sitting alone at a villa (likely in Sicily), old and alone. From there, the scene goes to the party at Michael’s penthouse, and the film that follows is largely the same as Part III except for the ending.
For Michael, Immobiliare is a chance to create something totally legitimate.
Gilday agrees but notes that the Board of Directors and even the Pope will have to sign off on the agreement. Michael agrees in exchange for a controlling interest of Internazionale Immobiliare, an international real estate company worth $6 billion. In this scene, Archbishop Gilday ( Donal Donnelly) confesses that his oversight of the Vatican’s bank has caused a large debt, and he needs Michael Corleone’s ( Al Pacino) help to make up the shortfall. He’s also removed the scene in the church where Michael receives his award, instead opting to open the film with a scene that originally came later in the film’s first act. Director and co-writer Francis Ford Coppola has redone the intro so that it removes the flashback to Fredo’s murder in Part II and deleted the scene of the empty Nevada home where the Corleones resided in that movie.

What you should know about Coda is that it isn’t a radically different movie than Part III.
