Al Pacino's fanclub

'The crows are laughing!'

The Godfather (1972) dir. Francis Ford Coppola

Serpico (1973)

"To do anything is scary for me. To do a movie, to do a play. When you take a chance you’re as good as the chances you take, so it’s a chance to fall. […] The most exciting thing about it is that opportunity to change, to go through an experience and come out of it different".

Al Pacino at the 65th Academy Awards in 1993.

As I came in here, I heard those words, “Cradle of Leadership”. Well, when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. And it has fallen here. It has fallen. Makers of men, Creators of leaders. Be careful what kind of leaders you’re producing here. I don’t know if Charlie’s silence here today is right or wrong. I’m not a judge or jury, but I can tell you this: He won’t sell anybody out to buy his future! And that, my friends, is called integrity. That’s called courage. Now that’s the stuff leaders should be made of.

You’re out of order! You’re out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They’re out of order! That man, that sick, crazy, depraved man, raped and beat that woman there, and he’d like to do it again, he told me so! It’s just a show! It’s a show! It’s “Let’s Make A Deal”! “Let’s Make A Deal”! Hey Frank, you wanna make a deal? I got an insane judge who likes to beat the shit out of women! Whaddya wanna gimme Frank, three weeks probation?.

Al Pacino and Diane Keaton in a deleted scene from The Godfather (1972). 

"A guy told me one time, "Don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.""

Actor: Al Pacino

"Michael sits alone, hearing the singing and cheers for his father’s surprise birthday party in the next room, on the right side of the frame […] . Next, the camera pulls toward him in a close-up to suggest that he is deep in memory and meditation. At the same time, however, his position is to the extreme right side of the frame, which creates, according to the visual habit of the audience, a sense of danger and instability, as if Michael is going to drop off from the edge of the screen to the unknown darkness. It follows a fade-out. This shot indicates that Michael Corleone, after committing so many crimes, has lost himself and his humanity. He must pay the price of loneliness for what he has done."

Happy 74th Birthday, Alfredo James Pacino! [April 25, 1940]

I hope the perception is that I`m an actor, I never intended to be a movie star.
