Agreed, "I killed your son" by Kay was really the only thing that could ever produce this level or rage. I would say Michael's decision to be "with" his father at the hospital was the beginning of the end for him. If his wife Apollonia was still alive I would argue he would still have a lot of the humanity that Vito possessed as he became Don. But after her death quickly became very cold in all his dealings, except towards his own children.

Kay is the only one to ever beat Michael. She took away what he wanted most, and he was powerless against it. He couldn't seek revenge because to hurt her, would hurt his children. The same reason he waited to kill Fredo until his mother had passed. She hurt him in a way no one else ever could. Like she said, she used his moral code against him to end what she felt was wrong.

What makes this scene so great is you can literally see the anger rise up in Al Pacino through his eyes alone, the marriage and eventual abortion simply emphasises the tragedy of Michael's character, a man that promised so much but ultimately delivered so little, its made clear in 1 when Brando tells him "I never wanted this for you" and that he wanted him to be a governor or senator and a family man beacause "A a man that dosen't spend time with his family can never be a real man"

I think this is Diane Keaton's best scene out of a career full of great scenes. Her face here, before she speaks a single word, goes from worry and hurt to anger and contempt, to ultimate exasperation as she launches a broadside at Michael, explaining how foolish and distracted he is and what his behavior is costing him - his son, his family, his very soul. Michael seems so pathetic to Kay in that moment, and Keaton just plays it so perfectly.

Disreguarding people's opinion on abortion for a minute, Here's a thought: Michael wanted another son with the assumption that Anthony or the new child would run the Family in the future, but he wanted another male child in case something happened to Anthony or to New child.

This scene was absolute perfection, in my opinion the best moment in film history. How could they not have given Pacino an Oscar for this?

His eyes alone could win an Oscar!!! The way they turn angry... and in the first Godfather they looked so innocent, then later on became cold

The delivery on "Because this must all end!" by Diane Keaton is so powerful. Incredible acting by her and Pacino in this scene.

jesus she managed to push absolutally every single possible button, somthing no one else could do but because Micheal thought of her as docile, you could also see him trying to hypnotise her with his eyes too, fantastic scene cant believe it didnt get al best actor

This is one of the best movie scenes in history, I could actually feel exactly what Michael was feeling.

Al Pacino does more with his eyes in this scene than most actors do in an entire movie. The role he played as Michael Corleone is nothing but a masterpiece and can hardly be touched by anyone else.

The acting from these two is just superb. That little shake of the head from Kay when Michael says he'll change is so subtle, but it lets you know this conversation isn't going to end well.

Those who think Apollonia was a better fit clearly didn't read the book: "She was just a village girl, barely literate, with no idea of the world". She was a teenager who starting liking Michael when she found out he was wealthy. She wouldn't have fared any better, probably worst. That was kind of the moral of the story. Michael was meant to be a tragic figure.

She was Sicilian. She wouldn't have aborted Michael's son. So by that standard, yeah, she would have been better. She also grew up in a town in Siciliy infested with mafia, so she and her family weren't unfamiliar with how that lifestyle worked. Her father knew who Michael was and who his father was, so she would have handled that life better than Kay, a naive WASP from New England with zero experience with organized crime and the responsibilities that come marrying into a family like that.

@brandon this is so real

Michael is more of a tragic hero to me. He wasn't utterly despicable because he had love for the people who loved him.

That bottom lip when it trembles. Scarier than any horror movie.

This part of the movie shows that Al Pacino is the best actor at showing anger for his roles. Especially at 1:50-1:54.

I feel Michael was more pissed hearing the fact that it was a male child, who could’ve been a potential heir to the family in future. He’d have been less angry if it was a girl as he already had a daughter.

Same reason Tony montanas girl didn't want to have children by him. Because she thought hed be dead or be a horrible father. And she didn't want him to be born into the coke business. I wonder which scene is more intense this one or scarfaces dinner scene!! Both wonderful on al pacinos part!!

Tony had strict morals that women and childern NEVER get involved in the business. If people actually paid attention to the movie he does basically say he wants to stop eventually and wants a son so he can pass the wealth down to him and retire from it. He got caught up when he burned all his bridges with people but he wanted a kid badly and I can tell by how he treated his sister in the best scenes that he would have been an okay dad.

Of course Pacino in this is phenomenal but Diane Keaton is just as amazing in this scene. The way she conveys emotion with just her facial expressions as Michael is giving her the same “ I’ll change “ speech is top tier

Al Pacino's performance here is some of the best acting I've ever seen. Perfection. Has to be one of the biggest Oscar snubs ever that he wasn't awarded Best Actor for this performance.

He doesn't hit her because of the abortion. He's angry about it, and she's right: he'll never forgive her. What makes him snap and react with violence is that she's telling him the truth about himself. He needed a wife who would go to church and pray for him; tell him he's a good man so he could keep believing it. When Kay lets Michael know that she sees what he's become and she wants no part of it, the facade crumbles and he loses control. I can't believe people missed the point this badly.

honestly she had that coming. micheal may not have been a nice guy, but she killed his baby and pretended like it was an accident.

Wow. I'm like, if she already gave birth to his first son, what's the point in killing his second? There's no guarantee whether the first or the second son would be a bad seed or "evil" as she thought his kids would be.

@SomeGuyYeah007

I don't think she thought the kids would be born evil (this isn't Rosemary's Baby), but rather that Michael would corrupt them and raise them to become mobsters. Remember that scene in this movie when Michael's son states that one day he would like to help his father out with his work (not knowing what that would be) and Michael says to him, "One day you will". It's pretty implicit that he is going to groom his son to take over his role. I think that Kay is telling him that she will not give him anymore potential heirs. Had it been a daughter, I don't think she would have done it, but it was a son and she didn't want another child to be raised to be a killer and criminal, so she had an abortion.

1:48 - 1:53 my favorite Al Pacino moment of all time. You can see the hatred and anger rising in his eyes.

Beautiful scene; Kay has close to no agency in this masculine dominated world and the only way she could defy Michael was by using her body and Michael, despite all of his strategic brilliance, is brought down to a shameful and clueless man who can only use violence to lash out, like the system he once despised yet is now embedded into. It's Shakespearean, and reminds me of the tragic downfall of Ophelia whose only act of agency was suicide and the weaponisation of that grief.

A foetus in its first few weeks is just a collection of cells. If you want to destroy it, you have the right to do so. This is more of a philosophical debate with nothing to do with the movie whatsoever. But, I digress.

Of all the things Kay could have said to wound Michael, I don't think she could have outdone this. Any words used to describe Pacino's expression, as her words start to sink in, would be an understatement. Truly an incredible acting job by both.

That expression he made before slapping Katy, was honestly some of the most frighting expressions I have ever seen in my whole life in watching films. He act like the Joker nor spoke a word at all. Just gave a look of pure anger. It was perfect

I love Diane Keaton so much. This is her best dramatic performance, next to REDS. So brilliant.

All these people talking about Kay's rights lmao. "Rights?" When you marry a mafia don, you lose any and all say in anything. She was totally powerless and the fact that they had other children together already is the only thing that saved her life, that Michael wouldn't kill the mother of his child.

dat slap tho

1:49 Pacino's chin movement is amazing !

I am not a crime lord but this situation happened to me. My ex was cheating. She got pregnant. I uncovered messages that she was telling the other guy she would terminate. She told me she had a miscarriage. I'll never no the truth. I was young and Pro-Choice. Still am but I had no idea the rage knowing she possibly killed my child. It's an undying rage.

This was it for Michael. This is when he changed from family man to business man.

The intensity, his stare and his jaw trembling. That is acting right there at it's finest. The Academy Awards are a joke for not awarding him the best actor Oscar.

The stare Michael gives her before hitting her is chilling. Al Pacino genuinely is a great actor.

If the punch to her face was real, I sure hope Al apologized to Diane after the cameras stopped rolling

okay...i revise my previous statement: Michael married an outsider...someone who didn't truly understand just what goes down in their world....and Kay, she married into a life she didnt fully understand...they were both wrong for that....with that said, Kay still knew the man her husband was and what he represented...she should've known--by now--that telling him she had an abortion was the wrong damn move to make...she should've allowed him to keep thinking it was a miscarriage

That he wouldn't even attempt to try to win her back and even if she had second thoughts the damage would be done. And she did it because she saw that Michael was planning on grooming his son to become a mobster and she didn't like the idea of raising a child that would become a murderer or murder victim.

This entire scene shows how great Pacino is as an actor. His drama during the entire scene, you can almost feel what his character felt in the scene. Amazing film, and Pacino is one amazing actor...

Why are people only singing Pacino's praises in the comments? This scene took two incredible actors working their asses off.

I think you can hear the sonic boom of his hand breaking the sound barrier when he slapped her

You can see how Michael is first confused, like he didn't really realize what was happening, just with his eyes. Then the anger he feels and showed it with his whole face. Al Pacino did a perfect job and didn't win the Oscar, it's not fair at all.

the fact that she kept talking and didnt notice he was boiling that a pot of hot water lol lol
