The Godfather

The Godfather.. that's where it all started for me, talking about
Al.

20 years ago, i was 13, really fell in love with Michael Corleone..
i watched and rewatched all 3 movies maaany times in a role, as well
as many other movies Al did and i could find and save for myself.

It was the first time an actor started to mean so much for me.

Today, 20 years later, i feel the same love, only softer, accostumed,
familiar.

When you admire something for so long, that thing really becomes part of
you, of your life, it's like a friend, a relative, a friend relative,
or more.


The story of that movie is PERFECT.

Francis Coppola and Mario Puzo made it absolutely beautiful, as well
as Carmine Coppola and all the cast and crew.

The absolutely seductive story of this family, so powerful, old,
polite, italian, american, righteous, but a mafia family that hunts
any enemy it meets with no regrets.

The journey of Michael, from "good army guy" to Don Corleone is sooooo
beautiful, painful, amazing to see..
the change on his countenance, look, walk, everything.

What can I say about Al on this movie?
Perfect, yes..
He conveys everything through his eyes, voice, moves..

All his strength, solidity, resistence, all there.

And how amazing it is to see such a tender man, on the first scenes,
and see everything he lives from there..
And how the movie ends..and how the second part goes on..and the third..


Amazing, unforgettable, so, SO beautiful!!!!!

Bravo, Don Corleone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found your footprints and handprints the other day on Grauman's theatre!!!!! Couldn't believe it!!!!
then i tried my feet on yours, try to get a little closer to you!!!
=)

Simone

Al is a film director, Victor Taransky, who has the idea of creating a character, a virtual woman, Simone, and make her a big movie star.
People believe it totally and she becomes the bigger star of the world.
Until he sees that his creation has gone beyond his control and tries to revert the situation...not being able to do it completely..but everything turns out great for everybody, including Simone.

Scarface

Wonderful movie with Al, Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Bauer, Robert Loggia, F.Murray Abraham and many more.

Al portrays a cuban refugee, Tony Montana, who gets to the States with his friend Manny when the Guantanamo embargo is on.

Afraid of nothing, Tony builds his way to success, money and happiness. Deals drugs, assassinations.
Gradually he becomes more and more powerful, until the moment when he sees that everything he 'conquered' starts to loose its meaning and he has no longer reason to live.

Dali & I: The Surreal Story - Coming 2011

Can't wait to see Al portraying Salvador on the screen!!!!
I imagine his excitment filming it!!!!!!! \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/

art in motion, filming, acting..acting art...

Dog Day Afternoon

That love, that passion, that drive on acting, putting all from itself there, then, now... you don't see that normally anymore...

Al do it so well, in every movie. Such a commitment, such a passion, really instigates and involves us all, makes us admire and care for him every time more.

No matter how many uncountable times i rewatch any of his films..i admire them and him more every time.

I got a pack of stocked love for that person for 19 years...it's so heavy that i even got to leave it aside for a while.

But now I see all i have to do is go along with this energy and go for it, like he did.
Go for it. Go, learn to act, learn to direct, go, go see him, go talk to him. Go give him that big longed hug.

Do it, just do it.

The Devil's Advocate

John Milton: Let me give you a little inside information about God.
God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts.
He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear
for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition.
It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow.
Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick,
fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!

John Milton: You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire;
you build egos the size of cathedrals; fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse;
grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies, until every human becomes
an aspiring emperor, becomes his own God... and where can you go from there?
John Milton: Free will, it is a bitch.
