Again, I LOVE The Godfather I and II. They were breathtaking in that I learned what humans could do to each other and how deceitful and cruel they could be...if pushed..and even if not pushed.
I think I was 13 when I first saw it. I’m 56.
He’s a genius. At least I think so. One can be a geninus and a monster.
And a lifetime achievement means....lifetime...and in that lifetime he did the horrible thing I mentioned above.
Awards for directing are one thing..anything that includes the world “lifetime” is another.
Plus he cast his daughter for GFIII!! :)
Have a good one!
Would GF3 have been a better film if Winona Ryder had stayed on as Mary Corleone and Coppola had been willing to pay Robert Duvall to reprise his Tom Hagen role? It might have been.
One of my minor peeves is that something weird happened with Al Pacino’s voice in the ‘80s/’90s. He took on this kinda weird barky voice with a semi-Southern accent, which was fine in movies like “Scent of a Woman” or really anything where he’s playinga “new” character. But it’s not Michael Corleone’s voice.
