I admit, I do not love The Godfather. I recognize it’s significant, but it’s like this giant monument that I saw once and never again.
Today’s teenagers will never know the enchantment of watching Romeo + Juliet (Leonardo DiCaprio + Claire Danes) from my teenage years, even if they watch it now. It’s hard to recreate what something meant in a particular part of time.
I was reading about the stage musical Mame, a former Broadway smash hit, and how it was based on a bestselling novel in the 1950s. We could read the book again now, yet it’s hard to understand what it meant to people then.
