Split Personalities

Just an observation:

Satino "Sonny" Corleone: The ill tempered personality, quick to act for the worst.

Michael Corleone: The charismatic, decisive, and ruthless personality.

Fredo Corleone: The gentle, kind personality, but a coward.

Tom Hagen: The careful, patient, and decisive personality.

Don Vito Corleone: The Dominant Personality (A combination of all of them)

Same guy, different person.

"Will I ever see you again?" Kate asks Michael Corleone before he leaves to kill Sollozzo and Captain McCluskey.

Technically, this part is the last time Kate will ever see the Michael Corleone she knew before he joined his father's mafia gang. In Sicily, he undergoes many changes, experiencing many horrors, having reality hit him point blank in the face. When he comes back, he is still Michael Corleone physically, but mentally, he has changed into a darker figure.
