In a new essay celebrating the 50th anniversary of "The Godfather" novel, Coppola remembers debating Puzo over the film adaptation's plot. Mar 6, 2019 3:57 pm. Share This Article Reddit LinkedIn WhatsApp Email Print Talk. “The Godfather Part II” Mario Puzo’s “The Godfather” is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and writer-director Francis Ford Coppola has marked the occasion by writing the foreword to the novel’s special new edition. Coppola worked closely with Puzo to turn the “The Godfather” into the landmark 1972 movie of the same name. The two remained close collaborators on “The Godfather Part II” and “The Godfather Part III.” Adapting Puzo’s novel with Puzo himself presented some minor challenges for Coppola, who writes in the forward about reservations the author had about scenes that would end up being some of the franchise’s most iconic. “Not all of my ideas went over so well,” Coppola writes (via Entertainment Weekly). “Mario was dubious about the idea that it was Fredo who betrayed Michael; he didn’t think it was plausible. But he was absolutely against Michael ordering his own brother to be killed. It was a stalemate for a while, as nothing would happen unless we both agreed.” Fredo’s betrayal is the emotional climax of “The Godfather Part II,” immortalized by Michael’s iconic line, “I know it was you, Fredo.” The storyline culminates in Michael having his personal enforcer Al Neri murder Fredo while out on the lake at the Corleone family home. In order to convince Puzo to let him assassinate Fredo in this way, Coppola first pitched the author the death of the Corleone family matriarch, Carmela Corleone. “I tossed him the idea that Michael wouldn’t have Fredo killed until their mother died,” Coppola writes. “He thought about this for a moment, and then said okay, it would work for him. He was the arbiter of what the novel’s characters would do, while I was offering a kind of interpretation from the perspective of what a movie director would do.” The two butted heads again over the idea to have Michael’s wife, Kay, reveal she did not have a miscarriage but instead had an abortion. For Coppola, the abortion reveal was a powerful way to show the extremes people who once loved Michael would go to in order to sever ties with him. “Actually it was my sister, Talia, who came up with that idea,” Coppola writes. “I loved it because it seemed symbolic and the only way a woman married to such a man could halt the satanic dance continuing generation after generation, which Nino Rota’s waltz theme expressed. Mario wasn’t sure about it, but he let me have it. He was a great collaborator, after all.” One thing both Puzzo and Coppola agreed on was not titling the next movie “The Godfather Part III.” The original title idea was “The Death of Michael Corleone,” and the reason why was shared by the two creators. “Mario nor I wanted [‘Godfather Part III’] as the title, as it was not meant to be part of a trilogy, but rather a coda to the first two films,” Coppola writes. “We wished it could be given a different title, one more appropriate. Neither of us had the power to insist on our title but in my mind.” Head over to Entertainment Weekly to read more from Coppola’s foreword to “The Godfather” 50th anniversary publication.

Mario Gianluigi Puzo (October 15, 1920 – July 2, 1999) was an Italian-American author, screenwriter and journalist. He was the author of many novel about Italian-American organized crime, most famously The Godfather . He co-wrote the screenplay for its three film adaptations, The Godfather , The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Part III . He was also the author of The Sicilian. Contents. Biography. Mario Puzo, receiving the Academy Award. Puzo was born in Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York to a poor family from Pietradefusi, Italy. [1] Many of his books draw heavily on this heritage. After graduating from the City College of New York, he joined the United States Army Air Forces in World War II. Due to his poor eyesight, the military did not let him undertake combat duties but made him a public relations officer stationed in Germany. In 1950, his first short story, The Last Christmas , was published in American Vanguard . After the war, he wrote his first book, The Dark Arena , which was published in 1955. At periods in the 1950s and early 1960s, Puzo worked as a writer/editor for publisher Martin Goodman's Magazine Management Company. Puzo, along with other writers like Bruce Jay Friedman, worked for the company line of men's magazines, pulp titles like Male , True Action , and Swank . Under the pseudonym Mario Cleri , Puzo wrote World War II adventure features for True Action . [2] Puzo's most famous work, The Godfather , was first published in 1969 after he had heard anecdotes about Mafia organizations during his time in pulp journalism. He later said in an interview with Larry King that his principal motivation was to make money. He had already, after all, written two books that had received great reviews, yet had not amounted to much. As a government clerk with five children, he was looking to write something that would appeal to the masses. With a number one bestseller for months on the New York Times Best Seller List, Mario Puzo had found his target audience. The book was later developed into the film The Godfather , directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The movie received 11 Academy Award nominations, winning three, including an Oscar for Puzo for Best Adapted Screenplay. Coppola and Puzo collaborated then to work on sequels to the original film, The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Part III . Puzo wrote the first draft of the script for the 1974 disaster film Earthquake , which he was unable to continue working on due to his commitment to The Godfather Part II . Puzo also co-wrote Richard Donner's Superman and the original draft for Superman II . He also collaborated on the stories for the 1982 film A Time to Die and the 1984 Francis Ford Coppola film The Cotton Club . Puzo never saw the publication of his penultimate book, Omertà , but the manuscript was finished before his death as was the manuscript for The Family . However, in a review originally published in the San Francisco Chronicle , Jules Siegel, who had worked closely with Puzo at Magazine Management Company, speculated that Omertà may have been completed by "some talentless hack". Siegel also acknowledges the temptation to "rationalize avoiding what is probably the correct analysis – that [Puzo] wrote it and it is terrible". [3] Puzo died of heart failure on Friday, July 2, 1999 at his home in Bay Shore, Long Island, New York. His family now lives in East Islip, New York. Mario Puzo at 100: The Godfather author never met a real gangster, but his mafia melodrama remains timeless. M ario Puzo’s 1969 novel The Godfather was on the bestseller list for 67 weeks, selling more than 21 million copies worldwide. Puzo’s screenplay for the 1972 film adaptation, arguably the defining portrait of the Mafia in the 20th century, contained some of cinema’s most memorable lines – “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse” among them – and introduced the Italian words consigliere, capo and omerta into the popular vocabulary. In 1996, the author told interviewer Charlie Rose about being approached soon after the movie’s release by two “ominous” figures – one of them was John Roselli, a Chicago mob assassin whose corpse was later found floating in Biscayne Bay, inside a chain-locked 55-gallon barrel – who insisted that Puzo must have “had access to the top guys” to pen such an accurate depiction of organised crime. “I’m ashamed to admit that I wrote The Godfather entirely from research,” Puzo wrote in The Godfather Papers and Other Confessions . “I never met a real honest-to-god gangster. I knew the gambling world pretty good, but that’s all.” The character of the all-powerful Don Vito Corleone – portrayed first by Marlon Brando and later as a young man in The Godfather Part II by Robert De Niro – was actually modelled on Puzo’s Naples-born mother, Maria.

  • American Cinema of the 1970S SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES
    American Cinema of the 1970s SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES Each volume in the Screen Decades: American Culture/American Cinema series is an anthology of original essays exploring the impact of cultural issues on film and the impact of film on American society. Because every chapter presents a discussion of particularly significant motion pictures and the broad range of historical events in one year, readers will gain a systematic and progressive sense of the decade as it came to be depicted on movie screens across North America. We know that our series represents just one approach to the growth of the American cinema: to organ- ize by decades establishes somewhat artificial borders and boundaries, and each author’s thematic choices are but one way to understand the culture of a particular year. Despite such limitations, this structure contextualizes the sprawling progres- sion of American cinema, especially as it relates to historical and cultural events. We hope that these books, aimed at scholars and general readers, students and teachers, will shed valuable new light on, and will provide a better understanding of, Ameri- can culture and film history during the twentieth century.

  • Resisting Abstraction
    CHAPTER TWO Resisting Abstraction There is nothing false about the materials. Siegfried Kracauer, reporting on his visit to the UFA film studios in Neubabelsberg There is a widely accepted notion, outlined in Chapter One, that New Hollywood was often ambitious in its thematic reach, constantly raising Big Questions about US American national identity. This might also be characterized as an emphasis on rhetoric at the expense of mimesis; a prioritization of ideas and their articula- tion ahead of physical matter and its aesthetic reproduction. What would happen to our idea of the socio-political New Hollywood if we interpreted some of its major films according to mimesis-oriented criteria? To what extent do its films offer up images and patterns which, contrary to widespread interpretations of the films at large, resist symbolic abstraction? Do the weighty allegories of works such as Nashville and The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972) contain the mate- rialist seeds of their own incoherence? ‘Mimesis is the inescapable conceptual medium of Western thinking about art, artists and audiences’, writes Matthew Potolsky (2006: 158). Ecocriticism has emphasized how the vital importance of mimesis also extends to the environment, precisely because mimesis is predicated on something tangible and influential which precedes textual representation. The term ‘Prague Spring’, explains Jonathan Bate in the introduction to his seminal Romantic Ecology, only has resonance as long as it remains the case that ‘every winter will be followed by a spring which will bring warmth and new life’ (1991: 2). The struggle for correlation between text and world does not immediately seem to be a concern for cinema in the way that it is for literature, and indeed the medium’s apparent guarantee of that correlation has been cited as one of its fundamental "Transactions with the World," by Adam O'Brien is available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.

  • Al Pacino Retrospective at BFI Southbank February – March 2014
    Al Pacino Retrospective at BFI Southbank February – March 2014 16 January 2014, London. Throughout February and March BFI Southbank will celebrate the career of one of the world’s most popular living stage and screen actors, Al Pacino. Starring in some of the most iconic roles of all time, Pacino’s illustrious career has spanned from such classics as The Godfather Trilogy (1972, 1974 & 1990), Scarface (1983), and Serpico (1973) to Sea of Love (1989), Scent of a Woman (1992) and Insomnia (2001). The recipient of countless awards, including an Oscar, 5 Golden Globes, 2 Emmys, a BAFTA and 2 Tonys, Pacino’s acting talents are undisputable; however, he has not always been content to stay in front of the camera, taking on directing duties for Looking for Richard (1996), Chinese Coffee (2000), Wilde Salomé (2011) and most recently Salomé (2013). From a career that has (so far) produced over 40 film roles, the BFI Southbank season will screen 20 of his greatest films, with the centrepiece of the season being an Extended Run of a 4K restoration of Francis Ford Coppola’s masterly The Godfather Part II (1974), which returns to cinemas in a nationwide release from 21 February. Pacino studied acting first at the Herbert Berghof Studio, then under Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in New York (where he is currently co-president alongside Ellen Burstyn and Harvey Keitel). During this time Pacino performed a number of minor stage roles, which eventually led to his breakthrough film role in The Panic in Needle Park (1971). Under the direction of Jerry Schatzberg, (whom he would work with again on the Palme d’Or winning Scarecrow) Pacino shone as a young New Yorker addicted to heroin.

  • Qanet: Tensor Decomposition Approach for Query-Based Anomaly
    1 QANet: Tensor Decomposition Approach for Query-based Anomaly Detection in Heterogeneous Information Networks Vahid Ranjbar, Mostafa Salehi, Pegah Jandaghi, and Mahdi Jalili, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— Complex networks have now become integral parts of modern information infrastructures. This paper proposes a user-centric method for detecting anomalies in heterogeneous information networks, in which nodes and/or edges might be from different types. In the proposed anomaly detection method, users interact directly with the system and anomalous entities can be detected through queries. Our approach is based on tensor decomposition and clustering methods. We also propose a network generation model to construct synthetic heterogeneous information network to test the performance of the proposed method. The proposed anomaly detection method is compared with state-of-the-art methods in both synthetic and real-world networks. Experimental results show that the proposed tensor-based method considerably outperforms the existing anomaly detection methods.
