Product Description

Product Description

The story of Salvatore Giuliano, the outlaw hero who took on the state, church, and mafia, in an attempt to win Sicily's independence from Italy. Giuliano won the support of the people but was soon betrayed by those close to him. Based on the novel by 'Godfather' author Mario Puzo and directed by Michael Cimino ('The Deer Hunter', 'Heaven's Gate'), the film was originally released in the US in a shortened version, but the subsequent European and video releases saw it restored to its full 140 minute running time.

2.0 out of 5 starsMore hokum than history - and shoddy hokum at that
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 8 Oct. 2005
Format: DVD
Salvatore Giuliano has been poorly served by the two films made about him, albeit in very different ways. Francesco Rosi's Salvatore Giuliano sidelines the legendary Sicilian bandit completely and distorts much of the events around him to support a political agenda despite posing as a semi-documentary dramatisation. Despite a few good scenes, it almost seems as if the contradictions in Giuliano's story dictate it should best be told by an outsider with no political axe to grind.

On the surface, that theory is soundly kicked in the groin, beaten to a pulp and left for dead in a ditch by The Sicilian, along with Desperate Hours the only Michael Cimino film that really IS as bad as critics said Heaven's Gate was. This film is so far from the truth that only the addition of flying saucers and death rays could make it any more outlandish. This Giuliano is a Christ-like martyr and hero of the people caught smuggling grain to the starving (in reality he was selling on the black market), buying land for the peasants (Giuliano had no interest in land reform), marries the sister of a communist (Giuliano didn't even have a girlfriend), hijacking troop trains, crucifying priests and even trying to stop the massacre at Portella della Ginestre (shamefully blamed in the film on Terranova, who was one of the few of Giuliano's band who it's definitely known did NOT fire a single shot on that day). No sign of the American occupation, no mention of the Separatist movement, no sense of how Giuliano operated: just Hollywood hokum, and badly executed hokum at that.

Of course, a film can be a total fantasy and still be enjoyable, as anyone who's ever seen a Jesse James or Robin Hood movie knows.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsMario Puzo would be ashamed.
By Stu on 9 Dec. 2002
Format: DVD
Mario Puzo's book, The Sicilian was a superb novel, Mafia intrigue, the Sicilian code of honour and silence. Twisting and turning to the very end. A sequel to the Godfather.
This film is none of the above.
The film although "based on the novel by Mario Puzo" is very badly put together. Disjointed information is fed to you throughout the film, even after reading the book first, I was frequently puzzled by what was going on on screen.
If you have read the book do not watch the film, even out of curiousity. If you have not read the book, do not watch the film, even out of curiousity.

1.0 out of 5 starsYou don't hate me, you hate not being me. But if you were born me you would have never been you...
By StrayDog on 28 Aug. 2008
Format: DVD
No joke, this is two hours of amateurish stuff, which cannot really be called cinema without upsetting someone up there.
I just went back to see some of the scenes of this movie again because they are so ridiculous I wanted to have another go!

So, let's start in the right order (warning, contains some spoilers, but you're not really going to watch this movie, are you?):

- The fact that the movie was entirely in English should have given it away, very funny to hear would-be sicilians talking to each other in English.

- Past that, we encounter the limping professor. An attempt to add a sinister touch to an otherwise meaningless character. Very amateurish.

- Then came signs and inscriptions throughout the movie, all in English (things like Sicilian Region, Minister of Law and Justice). Made up stuff not corresponding to reality.

- Then the absurd way in which most of the actors talk, in English but very slowly, which makes their acting ridiculous. I guess another attempt to make the movie sound more 'Sicilian'...

- Then the plot, disjointed and difficult to follow. Considering that the script writers had three stories to copy from (the original Salvatore Giuliano movie, the book itself and the true story of Salvatore Giuliano) one would have expected more.

- Then comes the funny stuff, some of the scenes are just absurd! My favourite is the dancing of the Duchess with the Don, particularly the last bit, when she dances around him rolling her arms!
And the 'rape', when right in the middle of a robbery, Giuliano ends up in the room with the Duchess and whilst they are there she rapes him! Couldn't avoid feeling sorry for Giuliano's mates in the other room waiting with the goods just robbed!Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsMake your peace with God
By L. A. Wallwin on 18 Sept. 2002
Format: VHS Tape
Being an avid Puzo and Godfather fan I couldn't help but enjoy this hugely underrated movie. Although the film does not do the book justice (and Christopher Lambert should not have been allowed to play Guilliano), if you are like me, a Puzo fan, you should deffinately consider this film.
It is a far cry from Coppola's masterpeice, the Godfather Trilogy. However, it is filled with some memorable violence, and the next time someone wrongs you, no doubt you will tell them to "Make their peace with God" before taking your revenge.

1.0 out of 5 starsThe Sicilian, or another book!
By A Customer on 9 Aug. 2004
Format: DVD
Please i beg all that intend to either buy the book or this DVD, to concider, what they prefer.
The book, is marveously, witty, a true classic of Mario Puzo, rivalling the Godfather (well nearly). The story line keeps you truly hanging on your seat until the end, with twist, true insights to Mafios workings, which leaves....surly...a trully great script for a film....
.....you think...but whether Michael Cimino (director) has actually read the book, who's knows, because the film has absoltely no relation to the classic, it seems Cimino, has rewitten the book trying to make his name. To be honest i be happy if i never here his name again!
The film, misses main plot lines, rules out main characters, changes relationship between characters,invents new ones, and in Michael Corleone case, doesnt even include him (how could you do that to great man himself).
To be honest, i thing Michael Cimino and his crew one day decided just to put all the story line of the book, into a lottery machines, spun it, and then outcame Michael Crimino's The Sicilian.
An unjust version of a great masterpiece and a i hope one day FFC will remake this film, just as well as he invented the Godfather, please FFC.
