  • Big Night ( 1996 USA )



    big night  I heard Mr.Obama is getting superior in ellection
      in internet news of yesterday..  It's changed in USA
      society few high speed more than I thinked...after
      American civil war ( 1861-65 ) 150 years, It become
      supprising story If he will win even white people were
      74.7% ( 2005 ) of population now..

      I had some chance of watch movie about Italian society
      recentry...Canzone was very popular music at my
      child age but I didn't know thire culture except Opera
      music or ancient Roma Empire story..yes, I know Vatican
      separate from Italy in politics at 1929..

       This movie is unsuccess story of Italian imigrant ...Italian imigrant is minority and they
       seems hardship in american community..God Father descrived them ( Catholic ) few
       strong atitude in servival from strrugle for existence of between with English or German
       of Protestant sect ..this " Big Night " movie is...actor Stanley Tucci ( left side ) produce
       Italian brothers restaurant story of around 1950..they have tasteful restuarant and he
       ( Second ) is waiter and older brother is chef....this chef is same as no reservation...
       and he don't change menu to american taste and keep true Italian recipi  ..so one night
       they open service dinner party that fall down to trick of a man in the same trade then ,
       restuarant bankrupt..final scean, Second told to enemy of  trade..." we don't lost our
       spirit...even you were doing anything durty for get money.."  and he prepear simple
       breackfast for employee and brother and ate with comfort eachother in remenbering
       of quarrel that come from hardship owner life...tow brothers play fun and make laugh
       and final sad result..but only get hope that they have warm heart... thire great culture
       that blossomed in aglicultural society is hard accepted in industrial american society..
       this movie is good descrived how difficult minority life is...then, I few understand what
       Francis Coppola want to write in that movie of  "God Father " a little ..

  • If Barak Obama can bridge the gap of ignorance and self-absorbed politics in this country, he is nothing less than a miracle. If he can claim victory over a machine that cannot afford an honorable leader, he is a phenomenon.

    If it looks like a win in the end and he loses, no one will know for sure if it was truly a loss and most would not care as long as the mall stays open. A St. Bernard could be placed in office for all some could care. Such is the bane of blind compromise. I should like to see him prevail, though. I'd like to see an Obama/Edwards ticket, actually, as both seem less willing to participate in corruption, and I am so sick of corruption and disconnect that appears to know no limitation.

    Coppola's films are always a bit haunting, especially the first two Godfather films. The book by Puzo and the follow up by Winegardner were equally so.

    Peace~

  • Marlon Brando!!

  • I remember watching the Godfather movies when they first hit the theaters.  I saw a similarity between their lives and mine.  Everything centered on control and intimidation.  Rules . . . man's rules . . . mob's rules.  Very intriguing stories.  I have not seen Big Night; I wonder if I can find it here and rent it.

    Thanx,

  • My family on father's side came over to USA from Italy in 1923....

    Mother's side has been here since 1631 from Scottland 

    It was hard times on both sides of the ocean...

    No...not mob...lol...

    Hard cause of  broken ties with familys and adjusting to a new culture...

    Worked out in the long run, learned a lot from both of grandparents as people...

    Good to see you...

  • The land of possibilities has been lost in the mist for a long time, a sad loss for all.
