The slap that Vito gives Fontane was not in the script. Marlon Brando improvised the slap and Al Martino’s confused reaction was real. According to James Caan, “Martino didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.” (x)

——Dialectic Materialism / Materiality of the World
“Dialectic materialism is the scientific basis of scientific socialism. As a viewpoint to the world, dialectic materialism starts from the stand-point that the world is an objective reality, that is, it exists outside our conscience and independently from it. The world is, therefore, material and unique, completely accessible to human cognition, because our conscience itself which cognates it is the product of that objective material world.”
In the attempt to introduce new educational technology in the schools, Soviet illustrator Nikolai Lutohin tried to present this complex matter visually, not only textually.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses is a French epistolary novel by Choderlos de Laclos, first published in four volumes by Durand Neveu from March 23, 1782.
It is the story of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, two rivals (and ex-lovers) who use sex as a weapon to humiliate and degrade others, all the while enjoying their cruel games. It has been claimed to depict the decadence of the French aristocracy shortly before the French Revolution, thereby exposing the perversions of the so-called Ancien Régime. However, it has also been described as a vague, amoral story.
