Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

ks tay is amazing.
he gets inhuman results for a levels,
plays soccer well,
and speaks at least 6 different tongues...
6. yes 6. count them if you don't believe me.
english, chinese, malay, hokkien, korean, italian.
6 in all.

finally watched Part 1 of the Godfather, and i must say it deserves all the acclaim that it gets.
splendid. despite being an old film, it still can compete with(and beat) many of the films of today. i liked the way the characters were developed throughout the long show, and also(of course, how can i forget this..), the cinematography.
like the scene where paulie(i think that's his name) is killed..you see the wheat field thing, the side of the car and the statue of liberty in the distance...cool angle.
or at the last bit during the baptism when michael becomes godfather and at the same time, the other families are being bumped off...how he renounces satan and at the time kills...powah.
only problem though, is that at certain points in the film, the characters would speak in italian and i would have no idea what they were talking about. no subtitles. that's why i say it's amazing how ks tay can even understand italian...

interesting to note,
absolute power corrupts absolutely?
no.
rather,
absolute power reveals absolutely.

corruption is innate(...and absolute). power just reveals it.

looking forward to the other 2 parts..
