Thus started an evening that would transform the way we had
all viewed ‘one of the greatest movies of all time’. We were told of the
business decisions pre-production, the controversy surrounding Coppola, the
significance of citrus fruit, children, Diane Keaton’s wardrobe – the list
could go on.
The reason why we were sitting in this stifling top floor
room was because the Godfather is one of long suffering husband’s (LSH) favourite films and if he’s happy, I can get on with doing something different. And this certainly was!
The wonderful Bobette Buster was our director for
the night and she led us through the film’s decade of profound imagery; whilst
sirens wailed atmospherically on the London streets below and we munched on pizzas and supped pinot grigio. Yes, really - this was such a good night!
We would have loved
to have been able to ‘get busy living’ and gone to her story mastery on The
Shawshank Redemption. Alas, not to be, this time – but when we have a free
moment, to do something amazing again, I will be back in contact with the source of this pleasure! And maybe there'll be an offer we can't refuse ;)
This blog is dedicated to Matty Johnson, who was loved and
was amazing. x
