Notes on Genius – What Coppola Scribbled in the Margins of The Godfather
This is quite the find considering The Godfather is the best movie ever made and anyone who disputes that fact should be run over by a tank driven by a cheetah. (via Filmdrunk)
The entertaining Tumblr site Ruin-A-Wish Foundation recently found a book page from a copy of The Godfather that apparently belonged to the film’s eventual director, Francis Ford Coppola. The page contains scene notes for the Academy Awards’ 1972 Best Picture winner, and they’re basically incredibly brief and sloppy insight into the mind of the man who created one of the greatest movies of all-time.
“Mist of blood” and “his fork frozen mid-air” are my favorite.
