Among my greatest passions ever is “AL PACINO”

Md.Mafidul Islam Sarkar :

I remember it as if it were today,
those dreams that in their long distance have materialized and come true until a few moments ago…
Well, one of the most striking of these was being able to hold in my hands the autographed photo of the man I have always considered the greatest actor in the history of cinema, namely “AL PACINO”.
Since my adolescence, I have always loved cinema in all its forms, in all its styles, but in particular I craved cinematic film combined with poetry and this was precisely reflected in the figure of Al Pacino, as I knew his biography thoroughly. Before he became a great icon of cinema, he previously performed in the theatre, masterfully reciting the verses of the man considered the greatest playwright and poet,
“William Shakespeare”, and many others.
There was a sort of magic in the air…
Even before that, I was also a great admirer of the actor “Kevin Costner.”.
In fact, in 1991, the film “Robin Hood” was released, one of his most famous films ever. At the time there were video cassettes and I later went to the newsstand to buy it but I saw that in the same package there was also another video cassette, yes, the one of an Al Pacino film, “Scent of a Woman” (Scent of a Woman) released in cinemas the following year (1992) which I still consider today, one of the greatest films of all time in which “AL” also won the Oscar Award and it was precisely in this way that I became hopelessly passionate about his way of acting and everything that has always been, simply “the true essence of Cinema”. Yes, that magic I was talking about, today has turned into the reality of my dreams… Let’s go back to the beginning of this magical journey of ours… Do you remember? How could all this happen? Well, it happened through a dear friend of mine from Geneva, “Raphael Bonacchi,” Co-Producer of several films, who, through Al Pacino’s manager, asked if I could bring some verses to life. It was my deepest desire to be able to dedicate some verses to Al Pacino. Everything was accepted, once it reached Al Pacino, he could not help but appreciate my dedication, so much so that he sent me a magnificent photo of him with his autograph. My heart overflowed with joy when it arrived. I particularly thank my dear friend “Raphael Bonacchi,” who acted as an intermediary, and who also received the same autographed photo, and I thank the manager and of course I say an infinite… thank you, thank you, thank you to Al Pacino.
So I say to all those who support and appreciate me: “Let’s never stop being dreamers…let’s pursue dreams.
Dreams come true, they are an integral part of our existence, there is no life without them.
I conclude this journey with the words that led me to transform them into the reality of my days full of enthusiasm and happiness.
My text in Italian follows
dedicated to him:

“Al Pacino”
A bow to Al Pacino…
fate of a mischievous boy,
later became a great man with crystalline talent,
as if from a hook
between petty godfather
of Cinema and his life
that as a jockey
professional
even todayz
he rides against the wind
his trail and also as a director
he follows the lead in his films…
Each of his films is an enchanting event
in constant motion
like clouds in the sky.
A life of cinema,
a cinema icon with an endless career…
including Al Pacino
will never know its decline.
