'Life is beautiful'

'Life is Beautiful' - These are the last words of Don Vito Corleone, in the book. (Now, don't ask me what book it is). As per the book, the Don dies in his bed, murmuring 'Life is Beautiful'. Then Michael contemplates 'If somebody can die with those words, then that was a life well lived' (Well, something like that). But this piece was missing in the movie. The Godfather dies in a garden without uttering a word.

I was puzzled the first time couple of times I saw the movie. How can they ignore those famous last words in the movie? After a few more runs, I realized. Coppola has decided not to let the Don say that his life was beautiful, but to show it in full flow. Those words were all over the scene where the Don dies. The Don dies when happily playing with his grand-child in the garden amongst the plants he nurtured. What better way to die? What better way to say 'Life is beautiful'?
