THE GODFATHER
Plot
In late summer 1945, guests are gathered for the wedding reception of Don Vito Corleone's daughter Connie and Carlo Rizzi. Vito (Marlon Brando), the head of the Corleone Mafia family – who is known to friends and associates as "Godfather" – and Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), the Corleone family lawyer and consigliere (counselor), are hearing requests for favors because "no Sicilian can refuse a request on his daughter's wedding day". Meanwhile, the Don's youngest son Michael (Al Pacino), a decorated Marine war hero returning from World War II service, tells his girlfriend Kay Adams (Diane Keaton) anecdotes about his family, attempting to indoctrinate her about his father's criminal life; he reassures her that he is different from his family.
Among the guests at the celebration is the famous singer Johnny Fontane (Al Martino), Corleone's godson, who has come from Hollywood to petition Vito's help in landing a movie role that will revitalize his flagging career. Jack Woltz (John Marley), the head of the studio, denies Fontane the part, but Don Corleone explains to Johnny: "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." Hagen is dispatched to California to fix the problem, but Woltz angrily tells him that he will never cast Fontane in the role, for which he is perfect and will make him an even bigger star, because Fontane seced and "ruined" a starlet that Woltz favored. The next morning Woltz wakes up in bloody sheets, the severed head of his $600,000 champion horse at his feet.
Upon Hagen's return, the family meets with Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo (Al Lettieri), who is being backed by the rival Tattaglia family. He asks Don Corleone for financing, and political and legal protection for importing and distributing heroin. Despite the huge profit to be made, Corleone refuses, explaining that his political influence would be jeopardized by a move into the narcotics trade. The Don's eldest son, hotheaded Sonny (James Caan), who had earlier urged the family to enter into the narcotics trade, breaks rank ring the meeting and questions Sollozzo's assurances as to the Corleone Family's investment being guaranteed by the Tattaglia Family. His father, angry at Sonny's dissension in a non-family member's presence, privately rebukes him later. Don Corleone then dispatches Luca Brasi to infiltrate Sollozzo's organization and report back with information.
Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone, the Godfather.Soon after his meeting with Sollozzo, Don Corleone is gunned down in an assassination attempt, and it is not immediately known whether he has survived. Meanwhile, Sollozzo and the Tattaglias kill Luca Brasi. Sollozzo abcts Tom Hagen and persuades him to offer Sonny the deal previously offered to his father. Enraged, Sonny refuses to consider it and issues an ultimatum to the Tattaglias – turn over Sollozzo or face war. They refuse, and instead send Sonny proof that Luca Brasi is dead.
Michael, who the other Mafia families consider a "civilian" uninvolved in mob business, visits his father at the small private hospital. He is shocked to find that no one is guarding him. Realizing that his father is again being set up to be killed, he calls Sonny for help, moves his father to another room, and goes outside to watch the entrance. Michael enlists help from Enzo the baker, who has come to the hospital to pay his respects. Together, they bluff away Sollozzo's men as they drive by. Police cars soon appear with the corrupt Captain McCluskey, who breaks Michael's jaw when he insinuates that Sollozzo paid McCluskey to set up his father. Just then, Hagen arrives with "private detectives" licensed to carry guns to protect Don Corleone, and he takes Michael home. Sonny responds by having Bruno Tattaglia, son and underboss of Don Phillip Tattaglia (Victor Rendina), killed.
Following the attempt on the Don's life at the hospital, Sollozzo requests a meeting with the Corleones, which Captain McCluskey will attend as Sollozzo's bodyguard. When Michael volunteers to kill both men ring the meeting, Sonny and the other senior Family members are amused; however, Michael convinces them that he is serious and that killing Sollozzo and McCluskey is in the family's interest: "It's not personal. It's strictly business." Although cops are usually off limits for hits, Michael argues that since McCluskey is corrupt and has illegal dealings with Sollozzo, he is fair game.
At the meeting in an Italian restaurant, McCluskey frisks Michael for weapons and finds him clean. Michael excuses himself to go to the bathroom where he retrieves a planted revolver, and returning to the table, he fatally shoots Sollozzo, then McCluskey. Michael is sent to hide in Sicily, while the Corleone family prepares for all-out warfare with the Five Families who are united against the Corleones, as well as a general clampdown on the mob by the police and government authorities.
Back in New York City, Don Corleone returns home from the hospital and is distraught to learn that it was Michael who killed Sollozzo and McCluskey. Some months later, in 1948, Sonny severely beats Carlo Rizzi for brutalizing the pregnant Connie, and threatens to kill him if he ever abuses his sister again. An angry Carlo responds by plotting with Tattaglia and Don Emilio Barzini (Richard Conte), the Corleones' chief rivals, to have Sonny killed. In 1951, Carlo beats Connie again in order to lure Sonny out. Furious, Sonny drives off alone to fulfill his threat. On the way, he is ambushed at a toll booth and shot to death in his car. The radio broadcast of Bobby Thomson's home run to win the National League pennant was playing in the tollbooth as the shooting began.
Rather than seek revenge for Sonny's killing, Don Corleone meets with the heads of the Five Families to negotiate a cease-fire. Not only is it draining all their assets and threatening their survival, but ending the conflict is the only way that Michael can return home safely. Reversing his previous decision, Vito agrees that the Corleone family will provide political protection for Tattaglia's traffic in heroin, as long as it is controlled and not sold to children. At the meeting, Don Corleone deces that Don Barzini, not Tattaglia, was ultimately behind the mob war and Sonny's death.
In Sicily, Michael patiently waits out his exile, protected by Don Tommasino, an old family friend. Michael aimlessly wanders the countryside, accompanied by his ever-present bodyguards, Calo and Fabrizio. In a small village, Michael meets and falls in love with Apollonia Vitelli (Simonetta Stefanelli), the beautiful young daughter of a bar owner. They are soon married, but the wedding reveals Michael's presence to Corleone enemies. As the couple is about to be moved to a safer location, Apollonia is killed when their car is bombed; Michael, who barely escapes alive, spotted Fabrizio hurriedly leaving the grounds mere seconds before the explosion, implicating him in the assassination plot.
With his safety guaranteed, Michael returns home. More than a year later, he reunites with his former girlfriend, Kay, telling her he wants them to be married. Although Kay is hurt that he waited so long to contact her, she accepts his proposal. With the Don semi-retired, Sonny dead, and middle brother Fredo (John Cazale) considered incapable of running the family business, Michael is now in charge; he promises Kay he will make the family business completely legitimate within five years.
Peter Clemenza (Richard S. Castellano) and Salvatore Tessio (Abe Vigoda), two Corleone Family caporegimes (captains) complain that they are being pushed around by the Barzini Family and ask permission to strike back, but Michael denies the request. He plans to move the family operations to Nevada and after that, Clemenza and Tessio may break away to form their own families. Michael further promises Connie's husband, Carlo, that he will be his right hand man in Nevada. Tom Hagen has been removed as consigliere and is now merely the family's lawyer, with Vito serving as consigliere. Privately, Hagen complains about his change in status, and also questions Michael about a new regime of "soldiers" secretly being built under Rocco Lampone (Tom Rosqui). Don Vito explains to Hagen that Michael is acting on his advice.
In Las Vegas Michael meets with casino boss Moe Greene (Alex Rocco). Michael offers to buy out Greene but is rudely rebuffed. Greene believes the Corleones are weak and that he can secure a better deal from Barzini. As Moe and Michael heatedly negotiate, Fredo sides with Moe. Afterward, Michael warns Fredo to never again "take sides with anyone against the family."
Michael returns home. In a private moment, Vito explains his expectation that the Family's enemies will attempt to murder Michael by using a trusted associate to arrange a meeting as a pretext for assassination. Vito also reveals that he had never intended a life of crime for Michael, hoping that his youngest son would hold legitimate power as a senator or governor. Shortly after, Vito suffers a fatal heart attack while playing with his young grandson Anthony in his tomato garden. At the burial, Tessio conveys a proposal for a meeting with Barzini, which identifies Tessio as the traitor that Vito was expecting.
Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen (left) and Al Pacino as Michael Corleone (right)Michael arranges for a series of murders to occur simultaneously while he is standing as godfather for Connie and Carlo's son:
Don Stracci is gunned to death along with his men in an elevator by Clemenza.
Moe Greene is shot through the eye by an unknown assassin while having a massage.
Don Cuneo is trapped in a revolving door and shot dead by Willi Cicci.
Don Tattaglia is shot to death in his bed along with a prostitute by Rocco Lampone.
Don Barzini is shot dead by Al Neri, disguised in his old police uniform.
After the baptism, Tessio believes he and Hagen are on their way to the meeting between Michael and Barzini that he has arranged. Instead, he is surrounded by Willi Cicci and other button men as Hagen steps away. Realizing that Michael uncovered his betrayal, Tessio tells Hagen that he always respected Michael, and that his disloyalty "was only business." He asks if Tom can get him off for "old times sake," but Tom says he cannot. Meanwhile, Michael confronts Carlo about Sonny's murder and forces him to admit his role in setting up the ambush. Michael assures Carlo he will not be killed, that his punishment is exclusion from all family business. He hands Carlo a plane ticket to exile in Las Vegas. However, when Carlo gets into a car headed for the airport, he is garroted to death by Clemenza, on Michael's orders.
Later, a hysterical Connie confronts Michael, accusing him of murdering Carlo. Kay questions Michael about Connie's accusation, but he refuses to answer, reminding her to never ask him about his business. She insists, and Michael lies, reassuring his wife that he played no role in Carlo's death. Kay believes him and is relieved. The film ends with Clemenza and new caporegimes Rocco Lampone and Al Neri paying their respects to Michael. Clemenza kisses Michael's hand and greets him as "Don Corleone." As Kay watches, the door is closed. Michael is the new Godfather.
Ⅱ 電影《向左走，向右走》里，那首詩《一見鍾情》的全文是什麼
「向左走 向右走」中的詩
一見鍾情
[波蘭]辛波絲卡
詩的作者辛波絲卡1923年生於波蘭，1996年獲得諾貝爾文學獎。
他們彼此深信
是剎那間迸發的熱情讓他們相遇。
這樣的確定是美麗的，
但變幻無常更為美麗，
他們素未謀面，
他們之間不應有任何瓜葛。
也許在街道、樓梯和過道上，
他們可能早就曾擦身而過。
好想問問他們，
是否記得——也許在旋轉門里
他們曾碰在一起？
也許在擁擠的人群中，說過「對不起」！
或者在電話筒里短促的一聲「打錯了」。
不過我知道他們會回答：
不，不記得有過這樣的事情！
他們非常詫異，
在相當長的一個時間里，
他們遇到的盡是機遇。
他們還沒有完全准備好把的命運彼此交換。
他們時聚時散，
命運常出現在他們的路上，
忍住對他們的竊笑，
然後又跳開到路旁。
確曾有過痕跡和記號，
盡管他們並不知曉。
也許是在三年以前，
或者就在上星期二，
有一片樹葉從這個人肩上落到另一個人的肩上
或許是一件失而復得的東西
說不定就是灌木叢中童年是玩過的一隻皮球
或許是某一個地方的門把和門鈴
他們曾經都觸摸過
或許他們的箱子曾一起放在寄存處，
或許在同一個晚上，
他們曾做過同樣的夢，
驚醒之後便無影無蹤。
然而每一個開端都只是它的延續，
而那命運之書永遠是半開半合。
Love at First Sight
by Wislawa Szymborska
They both thought
that a sudden feeling had united them
This certainty is beautiful,
Even more beautiful than uncertainty.
They thought they didn't know each other,
nothing had ever happened between them,
These streets, these stairs, this corridors,
Where they could have met so long ago?
I would like to ask them,
if they can remember -
perhaps in a revolving door
face to face one day?
A "sorry" in the crowd?
"Wrong number" on the 'phone?
- but I know the answer.
No, they don't remember.
How surprised they would be
For such a long time already
Fate has been playing with them.
Not quite yet ready
to change into destiny,
which brings them nearer and yet further,
cutting their path
and stifling a laugh,
escaping ever further;
There were sings, indications,
undecipherable, what does in matter.
Three years ago, perhaps
or even last Tuesday,
this leaf flying
from one shoulder to another?
Something lost and gathered.
Who knows, perhaps a ball already
in the bushes, in childhood?
There were handles, door bells,
where, on the trace of a hand,
another hand was placed;
suitcases next to one another in the
left luggage.
And maybe one night the same dream
forgotten on walking;
But every beginning
is only a continuation
and the book of fate is
always open in the middle.

Ⅳ 電影向左走向右走中波蘭女作家的詩
一見鍾情 Love at First Sight
波蘭女詩人辛波斯卡
他們彼此深信，
是瞬間迸發的熱情讓他們相遇。
這樣的確定是美麗的，但變幻無常更為美麗。
他們素未謀面，
所以他們確定彼此並無任何瓜葛。
但是自街道，樓梯，大堂傳來的話語……
他們也許擦肩而過一百萬次了吧！
我想問他們是否記得，
在旋轉門面對面那一剎，
或是在人群中喃喃道出的「對不起」
或是在電話的另一端道出的「打錯了」
但是我早知道答案
「是的，他們並不記得」 「他們會很訝異」
「原來緣分已經戲弄他們多年」
「時機尚未成熟，變成他們的命運」
緣分將他們推近，驅離。
阻擋他們的去路。
忍住笑聲，
然後，
閃到一旁。
Both are convinced,
That a sudden surge of emotion bound them together.
Beautiful is such a certainty,
But uncertainty is more beautiful.
Because they didn\'t know each other earlier,
They suppose that nothing was happening between them.
What of the streets, stainways and comdors…
where they could have passed each other long ago?
I\'d like to ask them whether they remember,
perhaps in a reroving door over being face to face;
an "excuse me" in a crowd;
or a voice "wrong number" in the receiver?
But I know their answer,
no, they didn\'t remember.
They\'d be greatly astonished to lean that for a long time,
Chance had been playing with them,
Not yet wholly ready,
to transform into fate for them.
it approached them, then backed off,
stood in their way,
and, suppressing a giggle, jumped to the side.
―――――――――――――――――――《向左走向右走》
They both thought that a sudden feeling had united them.
他們都認為是一種突然的感覺把他們聯在一起。
This certainty is beautiful,
這當然是美麗的，
even more beautiful than uncertainty.
甚至比那飄忽不定的命運更美。
They thought they didn』t know each other,
他們認為他們彼此並不了解，
nothing had ever happened between them,
在他們之間什麼也不曾發生，
These streets, these stairs, this corridors,
這些街道，樓梯，這些走廊，
Where they could have met so long ago?
在很久以前他們會在哪裡相逢？
I would like to ask them, if they can remember -
我很想去詢問他們，如果他們還記得——
perhaps in a revolving door face to face one day?
或許某天，他們在一個旋轉門里碰過面？
A 「sorry「 in the crowd?
人群里的一聲「對不起」？
「Wrong number「 on the 』phone?
電話里的一句「打錯了」？
- but I know the answer.
——可是我知道那回答：
No, they don』t remember.
不，他們什麼也記不起。
How surprised they would be
當他們得知，命運已經
For such a long time already
已經如此長時間地和他們嬉戲，
Fate has been playing with them.
他們應該多麼驚異！
Not quite yet ready to change into destiny,
還沒有做好准備去迎接變幻的命運，
which brings them nearer and yet further,
它使他們靠近，又把他們推遠，
cutting their path
割斷他們的道路，
and stifling a laugh,
然後壓抑住笑聲
escaping ever further;
遠遠地逃開；
There were sings（signs), indications,
這兒有一些符號，痕跡，
undecipherable, what does in matter.
無法破譯，也沒什麼關系。
Three years ago, perhaps or even last Tuesday,
三年前，或者就在上個星期二，
this leaf flying from one shoulder to another?
這片樹葉從一個人的肩飛向另一個人？
Something lost and gathered.
有些東西在失去，在聚集。
Who knows, perhaps a ball already
天知道，或許是童年的一個玻璃球
in the bushes, in childhood?
已經滾進了灌木叢里？
There were handles, door bells,
這兒有把手，有門鈴，
where, on the trace of a hand,
什麼地方，這只手握過的
another hand was placed;
另一隻手也曾經握過：
suitcases next to one another in the left luggage.
在行李寄存處，這只手提箱緊挨著下一個。
And maybe one night the same dream forgotten on walking;
也許那同樣的夢被忘卻，在某個夜晚的漫步中：
But every badging is only a continuation,
可是每個標記都只是個延續，
and the book of fate is always open in the middle.
命運之書的閱讀也經常從中間一頁開始。

Ⅳ 電影《向左走向右走》里的詩
波蘭女詩人
辛波絲卡：《一見鍾情》
Love at First Sight
They\''re both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.
Since they\''d never met before, they\''re sure
that there\''d been nothing between them.
But what\''s the word from the streets, staircases, hallways -
perhaps they\''ve passed by each other a million times?
I want to ask them
if they don\''t remember -
a moment face to face
in some revolving door?
perhaps a \"sorry\" muttered in a crowd?
a curt \"wrong number\" caught in the receiver?
but I know the answer.
No, they don\''t remember.
They\''d be amazed to hear
that Chance has been toying with them
now for years.
Not quite ready yet
to become their Destiny,
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
it barred their path,
stifling a laugh,
and then leaped aside.
There were signs and signals,
even if they couldn\''t read them yet.
Perhaps three years ago
or just last Tuesday
a certain leaf fluttered
from one shoulder to another?
Something was dropped and then picked up.
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished
into childhood\''s thicket?
There were doorknobs and doorbells
where one touch had covered another
beforehand.
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
One night, perhaps, the same dream,
grown hazy by morning.
Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.
一見鍾情
他們彼此深信
是瞬間迸發的熱情讓他們相遇
這樣的確定是美麗的
但變幻無常更為美麗
他們素未謀面
所以他們確定彼此並無任何瓜葛
但是聽聽自街道、樓梯、走廊傳出的話語——
他倆或許擦肩而過一百萬次了吧？
我想問他們

在旋轉門
面對面那一刻？
或者在人群中喃喃說出的「對不起」？
或者在聽筒截獲的唐突的「打錯了」？
然而我早知他們的答案。
是的，他們記不得了。
他們會感到詫異，倘若得知
緣分已玩弄他們
多年。
時機尚未成熟
成為他們命運的准備，
緣分將他們推近，驅離，
忍住笑聲
阻擋他們的去路，
然後閃到一邊。
有一些跡象和信號存在，
即使他們尚無法解讀。
也許在三年前
或者就在上個星期二
有某片葉子飄舞於
肩與肩之間？
有東西掉了又撿了起來？
天曉得，也許是那個
消失於童年灌木叢中的球？
還有事前已被觸摸
層層覆蓋的
門把和門鈴。
檢查完畢後並排放置的手提箱。
有一晚，也許同樣的夢，
到了早晨變得模糊。
每個開始
畢竟都只是續篇，
而充滿情節的書本
總是從一半開始看起
