Mario Puzo ou le règne de la mafia Sicilienne...

- Mer Fév 14, 2007 9:47 pm #2930 Hey, si vous etes un mec, un vrai, avec de la testostérone et des anticorps vous aurez tripé à bloc sur 3 films:

Snatch,

Fight Club et....

[color=red][size=150]LE PARRAIN[/size][/color]

Il a déjà été écrit du parrain que c'etait le film parfait. Je partage cette impression, la musique, le jeu des acteurs, l'histoire, l'ambiance, le suspens, tout est parfait.
Apres avoir maté la trilogie au moins 4 fois j'ai décidé de me mettre aux bouquins originaux de Mario Puzo, que je vous recommande [color=red]vivement[/color]

(s'il a pas une bonne tete de mafieux deja )
Fils d'immigrants siciliens installés dans le quartier chaud de Hell's Kitchen, il a contribué à romancer et médiatiser l'influence de la mafia sicilienne dans les cartels de la mafia italo-américaine, de part son travail de scénarisation avec Coppola et Cimino : il dressa le portrait de cette influence qui faisait que les mafieux de sang italien étaient toujours rattachés aux villages perdus en Sicile, la recherche de leurs ancêtres étant perpétuée ; ce qui implique un ressort puissant rappelant à chaque membre la loi de l'Omertà. D'où les liens complexes illustrés dans les films entre l'île et les métropoles américaines où la pègre régna.
Ses romans historiques explorent les figures aristocratiques qui menèrent à la mafia contemporaine et ses codes de valeur.

Mario Puzo has here created an extraordinary novel; it pulsates with dramatic and evil incident, brute rage, and the naked terror of an infamous underworld. Puzo takes us inside the violence-infested society of the Mafia and its gang wars. He shows us its trials by gunfire and torture and the nature of Mafia friendship. The Godfather is essentially the story of a man and his power, and it is a reading experience one is not likely to forget.

The Godfather is Mafia leader Vito Corleone, benevolent despot who stops at nothing to gain and hold power.

The Godfather is a friendly man, a "reasonable" man, a just man -- and the deadliest gang leader in the Cosa Nostra.

The Godfather's command post is a fortress on Long Island, from which he presides over a vast underground empire that encompasses the rackets, gambling, bookmaking, and unions. Tyrant, blackmailer, murderer -- he gives his friendship (no man dares refuse it), rights wrongs (even murder is not too great a price for "justice"). His influence runs through all levels of American society, from the cop on the beat to the nation's mighty.

Mario Puzo introduces us to an extraordinary gallery of men and women and re-creates the feudal world of the Mafiosi. The elements of this world explode electrically to life in this violent and impassioned chronicle. It is a spellbinding story, written with authentic knowledge of this particular milieu and with the hand of a master storyteller.

Twenty-seven years ago, Mario Puzo created a popular classic with the publication of The Godfather. Now, after writing bestselling novels about Las Vegas, Sicily, and Washington, Puzo has at last returned to the subject he knows best--the inner workings of an American crime family. The Last Don is the most ambitious novel of Puzo's legendary career, the product of five years of work and a lifetime of research into the mores of the mob, Vegas, and Hollywood.

The last don is Domenico Clericuzio, a ferocious old man who is determined to secure his family's future in an era of legalized gambling, motion-picture investments, and the threat of government informers. The don is close to achieving his vision when secrets buried in his family's past threaten to undermine his plan and spark a war between two blood cousins.
Only an Academy Award® winner with an insider's knowledge of Hollywood could write such a sizzling account of the movie business.
Only a writer who understands the hearts of thieves could describe mafia life with such authenticity. The Last Don proves once again that Mario Puzo knows where the bodies are buried.

Michael Corleone stands on the dock at Palermo. His two-year exile in Sicily is over, but the Godfather has charged him with a mission: do not return to America until he can bring with him the man named Salvatore Guilano.

Giuliano -- a legend, the bandit ruler of Western Sicily, a vicious leader fighting for his peasant countrymen against the corrupt government of Rome. But Guiliano's deadliest battle is not with the police or the armies of Rome, but with Don Croce malo, the ruthless Capo di Capi of the Mafia. By challenging the Don's iron-clad control, Guiliano sets in motion a feverish war in which the loser must surely die.

Enter Michael Corleone, at sea amid a flood of treachery, passion, and deceit. The secret is that he soon discovers promises greater success than Michael hoped for -- and the cruelest threat he has ever faced.

Once again, Mario Puzo has created a masterful story of evil on an epic scale, mesmerizing us with the terrible magic of the Mafia.

Mario Puzo spent the last three years of his life writing Omerta, the concluding installment in his saga about power and morality in America.

Je n'ai pas lu les autres de son oeuvre (manque de temps) mais avec un tel talent je doute qu'ils soient de qualité moindre.

- Mer Fév 28, 2007 1:17 am #3415 Le parrain a longtemps été mon film préféré (j'ai du voir les 3 plus de 20 fois chacun). Juska comprendre que que même The Dude des frères Cohen avait plus de chance de serrer que le névrosé Michael C.
En tout cas j'estime que le parrain est un grand film, Puzzo un bon écrivain.
Mais ses écrits sont aussi proche de la réalité mafieuse que le Zèbre l'est de la réalité amoureuse.

Un beau fantasme, mais un fanstasme avec les limites que cela comporte.
