![]() ![]() At the opening of the seventh round, Liston spat out his mouth guard and refused to rise to continue. Despite being nearly blinded in the fourth round – apparently by an ointment used on a cut on Liston's face – Clay recovered, and by the end of the sixth round he was landing blow-after-blow in combinations, almost at will. Clay had proved tougher than expected from the beginning, and he began to dominate the fight in the third round. Although Clay's remarks were treated skeptically at the time as mere promotional bragging, when the Liston fight was held the following February, Clay won in a major upset when Liston gave up after only 6 rounds. Rather than being listed as "tracks", the first 8 entries on the album were listed with "rounds" numbers, and Billboard duly noted that Clay claimed he would beat Sonny Liston in 8 rounds. The album idea had been proposed to Clay by the William Morris Agency, and the recording was conducted at Columbia Records' 30th Street New York Studio before an audience of 200 people. Belkin would later claim he had largely ghost-written the works, although Belkin's assertions have been disputed (e.g., by George Plimpton and David Remnick). The liner notes were written by the American poet Marianne Moore, a longstanding fan of Clay.Ĭlay collaborated on the writing for the album with the comedy writer Gary Belkin, who was listed as producer on the original release and later as a co-writer in a 1999 re-release. The album has also been identified as an early example of rap music and a precursor to hip hop music. The album helped establish Ali's reputation as an eloquently poetic " trash talker". I Am the Greatest is a comedy album by boxer Cassius Clay, released in August 1963 – six months before he won the world heavyweight championship, publicly announced his conversion to Islam, and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. Overall it is a one time watch for CGI if you don't expect much from the story."Will the Real Sonny Liston Please Fall Down"" ![]() The movie would have been focused on the main theme then. Also there are too much of romantic moments between Ranbir and Alia that can be avoided. Some of the dialogues are very repetative and feeds the audience over and over. Though I agree the movie acts as a build up for upcoming movies, it relies too much on the build up and not on developing the first one. When you name a character 'Isha', you should make it a bit more stronger. A typical representation of how Bollywood sees the heroin. ![]() On the other hand Alia is reduced to a mere supporting character, always relying on Ranbir to save the day. The charector development of Shiva seems a bit abrupt. It is at the beginning but lost track on the way. The story telling could be a bit more engaging. There could a be a bit more toned down acting. Same for Mouni Roy who is screaming most of the time. It's quite odd to see capable actors like Ranbir and Alia act so loudly and throw each and every dialogue out loud. India is rich with mythological stories and the movie is a nice try to represent one. Music and especially the BGM which can be very catchy. The CGI which delivered well most of the time. Here are my views after the 1st day 1st show watch. Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, is the movie with both good and bad.
