The film was always a challenge in that it was told in two parallel stories, one of Michael and one of young Vito, back and forth every ten minutes. But the SF audience seemed disoriented, and I realized ten minutes was too short, and the parallel stories needed to be twice as long, back and forth every twenty minutes. So we took this finished movie, and working through two nights, the editors made 120 picture cuts, and just got it done for the next preview, which was in San Diego. That version got a great reaction and was the version that opened three weeks later in New York. Same movie, same actors, same scenes, yet SF was a disaster, and San Diego a winner. Whew, happy 49th birthday to The Godfather Part II ! The great Robert De Niro auditioning for the role of Sonny Corleone in 1971. I was very impressed … and in fact when the role was given to Jimmy Caan, he was supposed to play ‘Paulie Gatto’ but then was up for a bigger role in “THE GANG WHO COULDN’T SHOOT STRAIGHT” and wanted to take the sure thing, and yet go for this part. So I told him “I’ll hold the Paulie part for you so if you don’t get the “gang” part, don’t worry.” But he got the Part. #robertdeniro #thegodfather Past, Present, or Future? My favorite Christmas Movie? Home movies. I do like IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, like everybody. I have always loved Alexander Korda’s THE THIEF OF BAGDAD. How is this a Christmas film, you ask? It’s not. It’s just a film I loved so much that it was the ultimate treat. In it there’s the handsome Caliph (who reminds me of my brother, August) and the kid Sabu (me) and “we” go on a magical adventure together (my greatest dream). The first 2 photos show the comparison in my imagination (August on the left and me on the right). I also enjoy Vittorio De Sica’s MIRACLE IN MILAN. I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday!

Some more of my words on filmmaking, the early motivations of Man, and Life & Death. This is interview is from one of the most interesting periods of my life, on the set of #ApocalypseNow (from the documentary “Hearts of Darkness”) Freddie Forrest was a sweet, much beloved person, a wonderful actor and a good friend. His loss is heartbreaking to me. Freddie Forrest was a sweet, much beloved person, a wonderful actor and a good friend. His loss is heartbreaking to me. Jerry Garcia was a friendly, warm person. We vaguely looked alike (beards were more rare then) but it’s his kind graciousness I remember, as well as his music. All the Grateful Dead were really nice to my son Gio, who even traveled with them a bit. This photo was taken backstage at the 2nd annual Bay Area Music Awards in 1980 at the @thewarfield theatre. These are 4 books that strongly have influenced @megalopolisfilm and my view of the “society we live in.” I offer three by David Graeber and one short story by Herman Hesse. To see where I’m coming from, please understand that our family, Homo Sapiens, has been around for 350,000 to 400,000 years. There is much evidence that the last 10,000 years have been under patriarchy (male domination) due to male animal herders from Steppes of Asia and the advent of “the horse.” With that unfortunate innovation, men swooped down like something out of a #Kurosawa movie, and began woman-enslavement in particular, slavery, war, caste, plague, and many things we all should agree are terrible. Also, “man” began writing, usually out of the need to record who was entitled to bags of barley and matrimony of various types, to ensure that our heirs were actually our children. Before this period of so-called “civilization” were thousands of years of matriarchy. Unlike patriarchy, women did not necessarily give out orders, but rather things were settled in egalitarian councils led by women, and often with a wise woman giving perspective. A wonderful glimpse into that world is in Herman Hesse’s unfinished tetralogy THE GLASS BEAD GAME, which is followed by three short stories, of which I recommend “The Rainmaker” #DavidGraeber #HermannHesse These are 4 books that strongly have influenced @megalopolisfilm and my view of the “society we live in.” I offer three by David Graeber and one short story by Herman Hesse.

A clip of my presentation of the Best Director Award at the 1979 Oscars. I took this moment to give my prediction of the upcoming “Communications Revolution” Turns out I was right! but wrong about one thing, not unfortunately these new capabilities weren’t controlled by the filmmakers as I had hoped, so the films in the 80’s were not all amazing. My friend Bill Graham accompanied me to The 1979 Oscars, having always wanted to attend. As it got closer to the presentation, he was eating some cookies, and (always hungry) I grabbed one and ate it, with Bill saying “wait..no..no” Then I was led down backstage with Ali McGraw and starting to feel funny, and began scratching my beard nervously… This best Director award was given to “My colleague and Paisan, Michael Cimino” for his brilliant work directing The Deer Hunter. Books that inspired @megalopolisfilm – Part II These books are about a time before there was writing, so much is intelligent guesswork of course; there are many other influences that went into my own ‘best’ guess of what human life may have been like when walking was the only method of transportation, (or if you didn’t care whether you could get back, hopping on a log in the river.) I found ideas wherever I looked, in Plato, Aristotle, Lithuanian Anthropologist Marija Gimbutas and suggest perhaps THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE by Riane Eisler. The previously mentioned short story in the appendix of Hesse’s THE GLASS BEAD GAME is beautiful, and informs much about nature of Matriarchy and basis of the Apprentice system. For an opposing view I’d suggest Francis Fukuyama’s THE ORDER OF POLITICAL HISTORY or even THE WAR LOVERS by Evan Thomas. All counter views usually stick to the ‘historical period’. This involves one of the greatest pleasures we humans are entitled to which is ‘Learning’. Regarding that powerful word ‘Pleasure’ I whole-heartedly recommend a great read: THE SWERVE by Stephen Greenblatt. I believe and my @megalopolisfilm concept accepts that all living human beings (Homo Sapiens) are the only family of our species which survived. Generally considered to be one of 5 modern Apes, are remarkable to say the least, an amazing species of Genuses when capabilities and accomplishments are considered or in the rare words of 14th century thinker Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola (who was punished by the church for saying so) “…the human being is rightly called a great miracle and a living creature worthy of all admiration.” Books that inspired @megalopolisfilm – Part II These books are about a time before there was writing, so much is intelligent guesswork of course; there are many other influences that went into my own ‘best’ guess of what human life may have been like when walking was the only method of transportation, (or if you didn’t care whether you could get back, hopping on a log in the river.)

It has more to do with people than “products.” What is being sold is not a thing, but rather a state of mind or being. The products are metaphors for the things that are linked to certain types of people: cool people, successful people, admirable people, classy people, sophisticated people, whatever kind of people most other people wish they could be. The brand is being sold more than the product: If you buy certain furniture, you must be cool, affluent, and tasteful, so that state of being is what’s being sold to you, not a chair or a desk. Those items are incidental and essentially interchangeable. You want to be those kinds of people, NOT because you want to necessarily own a particular item, but because you want to be seen as someone who owns that item. This could be viewed as tampering with people’s psychological being, the most valuable “property” we have. What could be more valuable than the essence of who you feel you are and who you wish to become? When one speaks of property, the most valuable property anyone has is themselves. These thoughts are inspired by the highly recommended book by Clive Hamilton, “Growth Fetish” and Juliet B.
