. Simone & the Godfather:
I started searching for Weil in the Godfather trilogy when I received a message from the American Weil Society stating that Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola had admitted to turning to Weil for inspiration while working on the script for Godfather III. I used this news as an excuse to revisit all three films. However, I found Weil's unmistakable presence only in the scene from the third film where Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) enjoys an Italian meal in Sicily with his ex-wife, Kay Adams (Diane Keaton).
A paragraph from Weil’s most famous essay, Human Personality, lies behind this conversation:
Have you found Weil's influence in any other scenes in the Godfather? Or have you spotted her in any movies, Saturday Night Live skits, Star Trek episodes, fortune cookie fortunes, or in some other unusual creative project? If so, amaze us all. Send me your startling Weil news. NEXT page: back to Simone Weil news |
