What a movie can mean…

Filed under: Technically Cinema - S @ 2:47 pm

The first time I saw ‘The Godfather‘, I had just finished reading the book; and was amazed at how beautifully the emotion, the ride that Mario Puzo had taken me on was captured. And at the end of it, I worshipped Marlon Brando. For probably the next 4 days, my parents must have got tired of my attempts at playing him.
But no-one can ever replicate that.

Since then, the Godfather has become a movie that I have watched endless times, each time finding something newer, and more fascinating in it. In my latest outing, the music remained in my head.
Nino Rota.

The music that he provided in ‘the Godfather’ underlined the sheer power of the movie.
As I sit now and listen to the main theme, the love song, the wedding march, Apollonia’s theme; the sheer emotional drive is amazing. All at once, you feel sad, you feel power, you remember the people you cannot live without..

Amazing.
When you listen to ‘Michaels Theme’ from ‘The Godfather Part II‘ on a cold wintry windy day, on a street that is busy; and yet you stand alone - you become him.
The Godfather.
“Never let anyone outside the family know what you’re thinking.”
