It is interesting to remember that historical scene where Al Pacino sings Attica Attica Attica whilst people cheer him that has been imitated so many times on movies and television throughout times. This scene is from Sidney Lumet´s movie Dog Day Afternoon. At that time there was a mutiny inside Attica prison in the State of New York thereby that singing was somewhat like a protest song against authorities. The two poor souls of the movie Dog Day Afternoon became heroes for people and celebrities thanks to Television. This movie is based on a true story that took place an ordinary hot day on Brooklyn, New York City, the performance of Al Pacino is superb. It was supposed that nothing was going to happen that day, the robbery was going to last some minutes....
Al Pacino Dog Day Afternoon
Al Pacino and John Cazale were close friends and they decide to make an unpretentious movie but the result was great nevertheless. John Cazale is one of the most incredible cases inside Cinema History, he died at 42 years old, he is the only ever actor whose movies he was within were all nominated to the major category of best movie picture at Academy Awards. Because of his performance on Dog Day Afternoon John Cazale was nominated to Golden Globes, there is even a documentary about him because his curriculum is incredible, he made the two first parts of The Godfather, The Conversation, The Deer Hunter and Dog Day Afternoon for instance. Is there somebody who has made such great movies acting as a secondary actor?
Dog day afternoon is a strange movie, the best of all is that it is real, was directed by the wonderful filmmaker Sidney Lumet and Al Pacino´s performance is a riveting and outstanding one. Dog Day Afternoon starts great, very fast, it is breathtaking. However, as long as it gets it turns out to be a little bit slow although is mandatory to see the ending. Dog day afternoon was nominated to 6 Academy Awards winning best Screenplay gong.
attica, attica, attica!!!!!
