Kummisetä

Kummisetä 1972

Francis Ford Coppolan eeppisessä mestariteoksessa Marlon Brando sai Oscarin roolistaan Corleone perheen johtohahmona. Brandon esittämä Don Corleone ei ole elokuvaversiossa niin selkeä päähenkilö kuin Mario Puzon romaanissa. Sen sijaan huomio keskittyy varsin pian Don Corleonen poikaan Michaeliin, jonka varassa saaga etenee loppuunsa. Ohjaaja Coppola maalaa hyytävän muotokuvan sisilialaisen mafiaperheen vallan noususta ja laskusta Amerikassa. Elokuva on erinomainen kuvaus niin italialaisen Corleonen perheen elämästä kuin heidän harjoittamasta likaisesta rikollisesta toiminnasta. Mario Puzon best-selleriin perustuvan tarinan antia ovat myös Al Pacinon, James Caanin ja Robert Duvallin vakuuttavat roolit. Vuonna 1972 Kummisetä sai kymmenen Oscar-ehdokkuutta, joista se palkittiin kolmella Oscarilla mm. parhaana elokuvavana. Kummisedän ohjaajaksi kaavailtiin alun perin Sergio Leonea.

The 1993 Telenorba sit-com written and directed by Gennaro Nunziante. The Show it's a parody, in Apulian dialect sauce, of the Michele Placido starring series "La Piovra" (1984) A bloody feud features two families, the Inpetto and the Sanguellatte. At the origin of it all is a wrong suffered on a Sunday morning many years earlier. Rocco Sanguellatte's mother, intent on preparing the traditional ragout, realized she lacked parsley, essential for seasoning the braciole. She then went to ask for some from across the street, that is, Freddy Inpetto's mother, who, however, apologized, telling her that she had none in the house, dismissing her. Shortly thereafter, Rocco, having met his friend Freddy, noticed something green between his teeth, identifying it precisely as parsley, thus inferring disrespect to his mother and thus beginning the tragedy.
