​Oh, I know, haha. It's like Centralia; it's one of those fandom fires that keeps on burning. I'm just surprised that people are fighting about it when both are canon. Puzo co-wrote the script with Coppola and approved all changes to the original story, so I don't think that one perspective is more valid than the other. It's just a matter of preference and which one you're discussing. You can't always use one to prove a point about the other.

Since it's not a direct page-to-screen adaptation, it's good to distinguish between book and film, especially now that more people have read it. In the past, say four or five years ago, it was easier to argue that they were one and the same and harder to prove otherwise because it wasn't as widely read (on tumblr). The novel seems to have enjoyed a renaissance since.

I've always felt that, in the movie, he loved them both, but only Kay was a viable long-term love. His relationship with Apollonia is 100% about lust and control in the book. That part should not be up for debate or considered open to personal interpretation, lol.

Ohhhhh! Que fofo! 🥰🥰🥰 Tudo q eu precisava!

Haha! As much as I'm happy to be thought the expert, I'm as intrigued as you are. I've never heard about that! The most I'd read about her was in the 1974 New York Magazine article where she talked about the need for more prominent roles for women in film.

"I want to play the godfather. I want to play Serpico. Why can't the picture be about me, a woman!"

Jill Clayburgh, who's sitting at the bar with her (this interview was stacked), says that maybe it's only a matter of time, and maybe women haven't been "around long enough as independent people, so there really isn't that much to write about women yet, except as people in support of men." This, she adds, is particularly true for "ethnic women" and that she got so discouraged playing a stereotype within a stereotype, always slicing pizza in the background.
