Random thoughts on The Godfather, other movies and anything else that I love. I'm not witty so this is purely for my own entertainment. A place for me to ramble, liveblog and generally release my inner fangirl.

I know that it’s so overplayed but I still love The Flower Duet from Lakme and it’s perfect here.

One of the saddest things for me, about Lindemann parting ways, is that Peter Stormare probably won’t be appearing in any more of their videos. He’s such a great addition to the Lindemann universe and I’ll miss him.

Peter T does a great job here too. You get a real feel for their characters even though neither of them have said a single word. 

Every time I see the factory scene I always expect them to start singing At The End of The Day.

The “ay ay ay” still surprises me. It is not a sound that I ever expected to hear from Till’s mouth, but somehow it works so well with the song. Rather like Adios and the “Bop Bop Shu Bop.”

I love how gloomy his office is. The factory is too, but his office is even more bleak. It’s perfect for the character who has such a dark, miserable little life and such a contrast from the stark whiteness of the spaceship.

I know that he deserved that blow with the ashtray but it still makes me wince,

Stormare’s sad puppy face kills me.

The building with its peeling facade, the dark dank room, the unmade bed and bleak outlook all tell you so much about this pathetic man. Kudos to the set designer and everyone else involved in creating the set because they did an amazing job with so little. 

Their synchronized suffering is so effective. One in darkness, one encased in bright white. Both stranded in their own little worlds.

Nice cameo from Anar. Till’s expression when he opens the door is the definition of done.

This look is one of my favourites, but when he is getting ready and tilts his head to the side showing his piercings, he’s utterly devastating.

I like how much warmer his parents’ home looks even though it’s still dimly lit It’s much more cosy

I’ll never get over the size of this man’s hands. You could cradle a ten year old in them let alone a newborn.

I love this moment between Till and the actress who plays his Mother. They both do such a great job here. Her affection for him seems so genuine as does the way he tries to brush off her obvious concern.

Till’s Oh Shit expression when he sees Loboda is so effective. He looks so terrified and regretful. I like the almost stigmata style bleeding too. How his body echoes the guilt that he feels. 

One thing that confuses me about this video is that the languages throughout, on objects and news reports, seem to switch between Russian and English. There’s obviously a reason for that, considering the thought they put into the video, but I’m not sure what. 

The ending is almost too abrupt for my liking, I really wanted Peter T to go after him and have a brother to brother talk, but it’s a great punchline(Literally)

He was perfect for this role. His final scene was so powerful. One of my favourites from the entire trilogy.

The Don got up from his leather armchair. The other men rose with him and Clemenza and Tessio embraced him again. Hagen held the Door open for The Don, who paused to look at him for a moment. Then the Don put his hand on Hagen's cheek, embraced him quickly and said in Italian, "You've been a good son. You comfort me."
