Since it's Groundhog Day, my first thought was to make the classic Bill Murray movie my piece of art for the day. But then I remembered that I'm looking for art and it has to be better than that scene in Ferris Bueller. Groundhog Day is funny (and in fact it's in the National Film Registry, which is quite exclusive), but I'm not sure it's good art. Lost in Translation, on the other hand, is so artistic that every time I try to watch it I fall asleep.
Maybe I'm being silly for not knowing this, but a brief wikipedia search (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppola_family_tree) just taught me that Nicolas Cage is a member of the Coppola family. You learn something new every day.
ReplyDeleteSofia Coppola (the director of this movie) also played the baby in the baptism scene in The Godfather.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Sofia Coppola is married to Thomas Mars, the lead singer of Phoenix. Consequently, there are Phoenix songs in most of Sofia Coppola's movies.
