jt2003 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I believe it was said that GODFATHER 2 was the only sequel that was better than the original, and to think that GODFATHER 1 was already one heck of a movie...I think both films won Best Picture awards.De Niro as the young Vito Corleone was simply terrific....Speaking of Robert De Niro, I love his TAXI DRIVER film - great great film by Scorsese - the atmostphere, the acting, the music score by Bernard Herrmann.... ....you talkin' to me? you talkin' to me? can't forget how the skinhead DeNiro uttered those lines in front of a mirror while brandishing his pistols....for all its bleakness, the film had a happy ending - with De Niro turning out to be a hero of sorts..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Perhaps what made "The Godfather II" better (that's still debatable, though) was that it chronicled the rise of Vito Corleone. It wasn't so much about Michael as it was about Vito ("The Godfather" was more about Michael). I agree that De Niro was excellent there. He won an Oscar for that performance, didn't he? Supporting actor, I think. I remember that when "Taxi Driver" was released in our beloved PI, everybody was talking not about Robert De Niro, but Jodie Foster. Who would have thought that Jodie Foster would look more beautiful these days than she did then. Hehehe. Sorry. I have this thing for Jodie Foster. Quote Link to comment
storm Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 Pero, The Godfather III pales in comparison with the first 2, just like in The Matrix. I also like Jodie Foster. I like women with brains. Bonus na lang yung beauty. Sige, balitaan nyo ko sa next eb natin. Kung hindi corona kahit negra oks na rin. Quote Link to comment

private5star Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 All I remember about the 70's is that, they made parade carrying placards showing how good the martial law and Ang Bagong Lipunan. They also made us sing the theme song of the "Ang Bagong Lipunan". I was in 2nd grade when Marcos declared martial law. I remember our eldest brother getting jailed for wearing a long hair then. PEACE MEN! PEACE MEN!! PEACE MEN!!! Quote Link to comment

PEACE MEN! PEACE MEN!! PEACE MEN!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Noong araw nga, napaka-pamilyar yung NMPC. National Media Production Center. Yun ang gumagawa ng mga clips na pumupuri sa "Bagong Lipunan" na ipinalalabas sa mga cinehan. Noong araw, ang unang pakita sa mga cihehan, mga alas-otso ng umaga (Hindi pa kasi uso ang mall na nagbubukas ng 10:00 a.m.) At doon madalas ipinapakita yung mga gawa ng NMPC. Nasa Grade 4 ata ako noong idinekrala ang martial law. Quote Link to comment
Magaling Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 They also made us sing the theme song of the "Ang Bagong Lipunan" ...Madaling araw may nagnanakawNg manok sa kulunganDumating ang may-ariPinukpok ng kawaliMay bagong buhay . . . I was in 2nd grade when Marcos declared martial law. Pards, grade 2 rin ako nun. Magkasing-edad siguro tayo But before martial law, I remember the rallies. Eskwelahan namin malapit lang sa Malacañang kaya kung minsan, pati bintana ng classrooms namin tinatamaan ng bato kapag nagkaka-batuhan na! [ Quote Link to comment
