Remembering the Godfather trilogy
When I saw that the Godfather movies appeared they were brand new. I loved them in that time. I know the main characters are criminals, but I enjoyed it the most I could. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino were both great and excellent Godfathers. The mafia was what it once was back in the past. This movie is well done of how the mafia began. I still love to watch all three mafia movies. When I get the chance in one day I only watch The Godfather, part II. It was the perfect day to see it. I have read the novel, but sadly it isn’t number 1 in the literary world. I think there are more novels that are as the same as excellent as Mario Puzo’s novel. Each novel is different. I think that The Godfather movie and novel have a say to debate on it of where it should be ranked. For me in my point of view I think it should be number 1 on both subjects. It is an excellent movie and novel. Nobody has written a mafia novel that tops it. It stands in the history of time. I know there are some that probably don’t like that movie. But, it has changed cinema the way we see movies today. The Godfather will be the most beloved movie and novel in the history of the world. I certainly love them both! If you want to read an excellent novel, then The Godfather by Mario Puzo is exactly it. Both are entertaining!
Creativity Runs in Our Genes
Most of us are motivated people. We feel that extra boost of energy to do things that no one else can. I am creative. We don’t do it out of envy, but of people enjoying our works. Our job is to entertain most people out there. Make them feel like they are at home. I feel the adrenaline rush once I write, and never let it come out of my brain. We are creative. We deserve to be heard, and read. In order to give something out there we need to invent and reinvent. Never let anyone stomp you out of it. Choose the type of thing that needs to be heard and seen. The cover will look as neat and popular as we are. Defining a creative person is like defining a book, or your first biography memoir. Try yourself out there in the wild crazy world we are in. Dare to be bold. Creativity is in our minds always and forever.

My Favorite Character of The Color Purple
My favorite character of The Color Purple by Alice Walker is: Celie. She is an interesting character, but on that always doesn’t give up. I know throughout the movie directed by Steven Spielberg she gets kicked around and people walking all over her. At the end is where I am proud of her standing up for herself. She stood up to the bully, and then he lost everything. At the end she lives happy no matter what age she turns in. I think she is a perfect example that we can make our dreams come true. The Color Purple is a story of never giving up no matter how the situation is. At the beginning she looked like she will live like a loser, but at the end came out as a winner. I love her bravery and what she stands for. She stands for liberty, which we are still fighting for. For anyone who wants to read this novel, or watch the movie. This one is the smart choice. I didn’t read the novel, but have seen the movie. Celie is the most beloved fiction character in this novel.
Novel & Movie Review: Safe Haven
Both the novel and movie has satisfied me much. The movie resembles the same as Nicholas Sparks‘ novel Safe Haven. The movie is based on the novel of the same name. I see that Katie has a dark past that she doesn’t want the widowed Alex to know. Her darkest past haunts and torments her while she escapes to the Oasis of Southport around North Carolina. She finds Safe Haven where Alex and his two children live. She has run away from the cop because of her negative past of him. The cop is trying to find her of a murder crime she didn’t commit. I won’t spoil the movie and novel for you. I fell in love with the movie. I loved the novel. The have the same background, plot, and story, which are similar. I have read the novel first, and saw the movie second. I have no complaints on both.
