WHEN IS A MOVIE SCENE TOO VIOLENT? WHEN COPPOLA DECIDES TO CUT IT FROM HIS EPIC CRIME FILM.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a deleted scene from Mario Puzo's "The Godfather" (1972), in which Michael returns to America to track down Fabrizio, his former Sicilian bodyguard and the man responsible for the death of his wife Apollonia. Finding him in a pizza parlor, Michael blows him away with a shotgun. The scene was ultimately cut from the film due to its graphic violence.

OVERVIEW: "In the "Godfather" book, Michael tracks down Fabrizio, the bodyguard that tried to kill him (but only succeeded in killing Apollonia). In "Part I," there is a scene that shows Michael recovering and ordering his men to find his former bodyguard. Coppola also filmed a scene in which Michael, toting a lupara just like Fabrizio, confronts him and blows him away, but it was so bloody that it was cut. But Coppola returned to it in "Part II," showing Michael getting the news that Fabrizio had been tracked down."

Cis people will get so weird if you tell them you're a homosexual trans person, but then the second you say you’re t4t in any regard they're like “whhhaaaaat? You actually find trans people attractive? More than cis people??”

WIP

It’s been a while since I’ve done an Airi piece, but it’s been a while longer yet since I did anything with Iryna. This is based off a rough sketch concept for a key visual, and while it’s not 100% accurate to what I had in mind it’s more or less how I wanted it to look.

Other than inking and coloring, I feel like something is missing from it, but I’m not sure what. (Also looking at it, that shotgun placement needs to be muuuuch straighter, need to fix that before I put the pens anywhere near it.)

Love how the Irish are talking about the Sicilians with wolf metaphors, when both islands don't have a native wolf population anymore.

Hey, gorgeous!😘😘 Can you recommend some fic where any of them get misunderstood as being a member of a mob, a cult, or something equally absurd? Thanks!💋💛💋💙💋🧡💋💜

Hi! This is most common in #outsider pov fics, possibly most particularly in these social media fics where humans make speculations about Aziraphale and the bookshop, so check out that tag and post for fics we’ve already recommended. Here are a couple for now...

Lupara bianca by InksandPens (T)

Crowley tries not to get whacked. Shouldn't be too hard, right? His whole job revolves around talking people into or out of things, and he's pretty sure this guy already kinda likes him. At least, he thinks so. Hopes?

Campus Cryptid by Bjurnberg (T)

No one on campus really knows what Crowley is, but they've all heard the rumors. Some say he's in the mob, others say he's a fairy, some think he's just a dick. But everyone he's helped is grateful. And everyone who's crossed him doesn't return.

The Godfather Of Soho by WorseOmens (NR)

AZ Fell & Co's looks like a front for something illegal. Both the mob and the police have a thing or two to say about it.

(Or: two Irish mobsters bicker over the nature of their new competitor; meanwhile, two detectives follow a trail of terrified petty criminals back to an antique bookshop)

The book of Carol and Ezekiel 38-39 - The war against the Louvre.

Okay, let's talk about the book of Carol.

I've made reference to quite a few different things in the title to this post, all of which are connected.

First, I want to show you a few snippets from the Carol scene we saw at the end of DD6.

This clip in the GIF below can be found on the official amcthewalkingdead insta page for anyone who wants to see it in full.

We have already seen the content of Carol showing up in DD6, but it's what the official page added in between that's important.

We see this painting of an Angel holding a sword. I'll come back to that...

We then see the page burn, and Carol's face appears with her name.

The caption at the bottom reads: Will we get the reunion we've all been hoping for?

In this post here, I talked about how Carol and Isabelle are Beth and that they all slip into each others roles. The self-portrait of Marie Gabrielle-Carpet used in the opening credits of the DD spin-off is a great example of this.

We all quickly recognised the Beth resemblance in the painting. Once I found the artist and name of the portrait, i discovered that Marie actually lived in the Louvre. I was not at all surprised by this because the word “Louvre” comes from the Latin lupara, meaning wolf, due to the presence of wolves in the area in previous centuries.

Beth's song from the end of Still connected her to being a wolf, with the line "There's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home." The song connects wolf with a reunion, and the official account is asking about a reunion also.

So the Louvre would be a very fitting place for Beth to be reintroduced.

And if that's the case, then Marie's self-portrait definitely does have a hidden meaning that points to Beth.

We know, thanks to @frangipanilove they have already been filming at the Louvre for season 2 of DD, you can see the post here. So it all seems to be linked and lining up.

Now, they very deliberately placed Clémence Poésy's name with this self-portrait in the credits because, as I mentioned, Isabelle is pointing to Beth, and the self-portrait is pointing to the Louvre. The Nest is a representation of the pyramid of the Louvre. The Louvre has an inverted pyramid inside.

It is also surrounded by water on one side, which is mirrored in the water of the Nest as seen in this shot below.

It's a VERY deliberate shot to capture the mirror pyramid, pointing us to exactly where Isabelle aka Beth is...

And just as Isabelle is pointing to Beth, so is Carol. After the angel painting, we see the page burning 🔥 like we see the Marie Gabrielle-Carpet self-portrait burning, and then they show us Carol's self portrait!. Carol's story is reverse to Beth because Carol has already been "with the Wolves" in season 6.

See how it's repeating, inverted, and reversed? ♾️ The upside down pyramids are on her forehead.

Now, back to the angle painting and what it means.

The painting is of Balaam's donkey, which is a biblical story found in the book of Numbers. Balaam, a diviner, was sent by the King of Mo-ab to curse Israel, but God sent an Angel to intervene and stop him.

God makes it clear to Balaam through the angle that whoever blesses Israel will be blessed, and whoever curses Israel will be cursed. If he were to try and curse them, the angel of the Lord would kill him.

Now I said that the Nest is a representation of the Louvre, didn't I? Here's where it gets fun.

The Archangel Michael is the protector of Israel. That's one of his main duties.

Well, the place where they filmed the Nest is called Mont Saint Michel, and it's named after?... you guessed it, The Archangel Michael!

So the Louvre and the Nest actually represent Israel, and the flag of Israel indicates the double pyramid.

And Emily? Well, she knows...

Prior to the name of Mont Saint Michel, the commune was called Mont Tombe. Fitting for the representation of the place where Jesus was buried and Beth will be "resurrected."

She's acting out laying dead in a tomb, a tomb that's blue and white, and represents the pyramid of the Louvre/wolf near the water.

Carol, having Balaam's donkey attached to her, is seemingly pointing to her making a choice that will direct her path. She will either bless or curse those at the Louvre, and the results could be deadly.

Now, I've talked about how the book of Carol is a play on the book of Revelation as it's a template of the last days, which the show is following.

The main focus of this book is Israel. The book describes a 7 year period of devastation worldwide, where a false messiah will rise, deceiving many, before the real messiah returns (Jesus)

God says the Israelite's will eventually recognise Jesus as the true messiah.

That's a very short summary of it, but here's we're the symbolism branches out.

I'll eventually get a post out on the false and real messiah and the difference between the two. Since the show has been pointing to it, it's going to be addressed.

Now, in the show, we know Carol had a relationship with Ezekiel. We'll...Ezekiel from Old Testament was a biblical prophet who also wrote about future last days events and specifically about a war where Persia (modern day Iran) allied with Turkey and Russia would come against Israel trying to destroy them.

It's called the war of Ezekiel 38 and 39.

God says he will come against the Iranian coalition and destroy them just as he promised to Balaam.

The theme of the story of Balaam and this prophesy in Ezekiel are the same. I will bless those who bless you and i will curse those who curse you.

Obviously, Carol and Ezekiel are linked due to their relationship in the show, and now they are link due to their names and end time events.

Carol has been given the bless or curse Israel symbolism, which is interesting because in the scene where Carol puts the guy in the trunk of the car, we see this writing on the truck in the background 🚚

It reads Mansouri and Co, which is a direct naming of Persia (modern-day Iran) and Coalition.

The name is literally pointing to the ethnic people group of Iran. And it's written against the very colours of Israel.

Which means Carol is heading to the Louvre (a representation of the people of Israel) and depending on what she does, will determine if she lives or dies.

Now there is one other book from the bible Carol is linked to, and again it revolves around the same theme of 'I will bless those that bless you and curse those who curse you'. That book is called The Book of Esther.

What is the story of Esther in the Bible?

In the biblical book named after her, Esther is a young Jewish woman living in the Persian (Iranian) diaspora who finds favor with the king, becomes queen, and risks her life to save the Jewish people from destruction when the court official Haman persuades the king to authorize a pogrom against all the Jews of the empire.

We know that Carol already had a past story of finding favor with the King (Ezekiel) and becoming Queen.

Here's where Esther's/Carol's story now switches to Beth.

The term Persian (Persian\Iran) can be interchanged with...

A Parisian is a person who comes from Paris. Dun dun dun!

Queen Esther = Beth

The Book of Carol = Queen Beth.

Below is a painting of the ancient Louvre.

Which was originally colored in the same blue and white as represents Israel.

Carol has already been inverted Queen Esther and we were actually shown her version of the Louvre at the Kingdom fair, where she eventually fell out of favor (Separated) with the King because he didn't save her people (Henry). Carol and Ezekiel at The Kingdom hosting the trade fair was in turn pointing to Paris and the World trade fair of 1889 for which the Eiffel tower was built.

Now with the current state of the world, global pandemics and wars in Israel and what this show is putting out about the end of the world. It might be worth asking yourself? Are we them? Are they us?

Despite world events lining up in a scarily similar manner (and i know everyone has a different take on the wars it so don't at me) but i wanted to open your eyes a little and show you why Beth is without a doubt linked to the Louvre and that she is very close to her long awaited return.

One additional thing before i go, there is apparently a leaked script floating about for season 2 of DD (now, i haven't been able to verify this) but apparently Carol thinks Daryl is dead when she runs into a walker that looks like him in episode 201. She later finds out he is alive and can't believe her eyes.

If this isn't pointing to a Beth and Daryl reunion then i don't know what is.

@bookqueenrules Thanks for the ask, i was halfway through this post when you sent it which was perfectly on topic with your question, so I'll just tag you here as a response.

If you got this far and managed to follow all of this, my word you deserve a Beth and Daryl reunion and let me tell you, it's coming!

" La prima volta Danilo Dolci annunciò il digiuno con una lettera aperta agli abitanti di Trappeto, il 14 ottobre 1952*: «L'inverno scorso ho visto con i miei occhi anche un neonato morire perché affamato, tra centinaia e centinaia di casi dolorosissimi... Possiamo evitare che la morte spadroneggi... C'è un delitto di omissione verso questi nostri fratelli, di cui dobbiamo pentirci e redimerci. C'è da muoversi subito. A estremi mali estremi rimedi. Voglio fare penitenza perché tutti si diventi più buoni. Prima che muoia un altro bambino di fame, intanto, voglio morire io. Da oggi non mangerò più finché non ci saranno arrivati i trenta milioni necessari a provvedere subito il lavoro ai più bisognosi e l'assistenza più urgente agli inabili.» Allora il Dolci era al primo suo atto del genere, e si spiega il tono ultimativo, che egli ha poi trasformato in una prova e invito dì raccoglimento a tutti prima di una manifestazione, nella quale soprattutto egli raccomanda di evitare ogni violenza. Nell'ultimo digiuno per la diga del Bruca a Roccamena, il Dolci ha avuto compagni, e l'atto è diventato collettivo, e la protesta ultimativa si è fatta appello, cosciente di operare una forma di "lotta nonviolenta" tanto è vero che aderí il Comitato dei Cento della zona**: «Sappiamo che per realizzare il bene di tutti bisogna fare sacrifici: se non si ricorre ad essi nessuno fa attenzione a quello che domandiamo. Per questo abbiamo deciso di digiunare. Vogliamo chiedere e ottenere giustizia nei modi più pacifici e più civili, e condannare la violenza e la lupara.» Al digiuno a Roccamena si associò anche Peter Moule, del Comitato inglese dei Cento, dichiarando di partecipare al digiuno per manifestare il sostegno e la solidarietà del Comitato inglese dei Cento, e annunciando che nello stesso tempo in Inghilterra parecchi membri del Comitato dei Cento avrebbero digiunato per dimostrare la loro solidarietà: «Sono qui, inoltre, per cercare di dimostrare il rapporto tra la questione della pace e della guerra, e i problemi dello sviluppo socio-economico nonviolento. In Inghilterra siamo particolarmente impegnati nell'organizzazione della resistenza nonviolenta alla guerra e ai preparativi di guerra, soprattutto nel campo delle armi nucleari. Qui a Roccamena, l'interesse è soprattutto nello sviluppo socio-economico nonviolento. Noi abbiamo, perciò, uno scopo comune di importanza internazionale: l'eliminazione della violenza dalla società, sia la violenza sociale ed economica, sia la guerra.» ”
