		<description>My use of the word &quot;allegory&quot; is not right. Probably &quot;myth&quot; in the positive, literary sense of the word is the best substitute.

Reconman-- yes, but it also occurred to me that Coppola himself was not self-conscious of all the depth-structures of what he created. In general, it seems like poets create something far beyond what they think they are creating. The Greeks noticed this and spoke of being filled by a muse. We should ratify that as a perspective pointing to the general work of the Spirit, I think, and perhaps also notice the rich inter-coherence of the creaturely modes, such that pulling on any strand pulls up a whole tapestry.</description>

		<description>I heartily agree. Probably my favorite film. I encourage others to own the trilogy on DVD. The special features alone are worth the price. To hear Coppola and Puzo discuss the character and storyline is priceless.</description>
