Godfather

tonight was the third night that i consecutively watched the Godfather. yup the famous italian-american mafia sequel--Godfather. i remember watching it when i was a teenager but i didn't remember a tiny bit of the story besides the image of a bunch of men talking in the dark and lots of gunfire.

though i am still no big fan of gangster movies, i really like this one. it's fiction but yet every bit could be real. it's the very deep qualities of humanity that were being portraited on screen. money, power, love, betrayal, forgiveness, family, heroism, sacrifice etc. what's new? that's all part of human beings.

i loaned the whole set of dvd from my co-workers. there are some bonus material and i am looking forward to checking it out. though i am still not 100% clear on who's who sometimes and why some of them had to die. it's a really wonderful production in the film history. if you haven't been able to appreaciate it for any reason, watch it again when you have a long holiday, especially when the weather is gloomy like the past week, you may grow to like it.
