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 电影《向左走，向右走》里，那首诗《一见钟情》的全文是什么
“向左走 向右走”中的诗
一见钟情
[波兰]辛波丝卡
诗的作者辛波丝卡1923年生于波兰，1996年获得诺贝尔文学奖。
他们彼此深信
是刹那间迸发的热情让他们相遇。
这样的确定是美丽的，
但变幻无常更为美丽，
他们素未谋面，
他们之间不应有任何瓜葛。
也许在街道、楼梯和过道上，
他们可能早就曾擦身而过。
好想问问他们，
是否记得——也许在旋转门里
他们曾碰在一起？
也许在拥挤的人群中，说过“对不起”！
或者在电话筒里短促的一声“打错了”。
不过我知道他们会回答：
不，不记得有过这样的事情！
他们非常诧异，
在相当长的一个时间里，
他们遇到的尽是机遇。
他们还没有完全准备好把的命运彼此交换。
他们时聚时散，
命运常出现在他们的路上，
忍住对他们的窃笑，
然后又跳开到路旁。
确曾有过痕迹和记号，
尽管他们并不知晓。
也许是在三年以前，
或者就在上星期二，
有一片树叶从这个人肩上落到另一个人的肩上
或许是一件失而复得的东西
说不定就是灌木丛中童年是玩过的一只皮球
或许是某一个地方的门把和门铃
他们曾经都触摸过
或许他们的箱子曾一起放在寄存处，
或许在同一个晚上，
他们曾做过同样的梦，
惊醒之后便无影无踪。
然而每一个开端都只是它的延续，
而那命运之书永远是半开半合。
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 电影向左走向右走中波兰女作家的诗
一见钟情 Love at First Sight
波兰女诗人辛波斯卡
他们彼此深信，
是瞬间迸发的热情让他们相遇。
这样的确定是美丽的，但变幻无常更为美丽。
他们素未谋面，
所以他们确定彼此并无任何瓜葛。
但是自街道，楼梯，大堂传来的话语……
他们也许擦肩而过一百万次了吧！
我想问他们是否记得，
在旋转门面对面那一刹，
或是在人群中喃喃道出的“对不起”
或是在电话的另一端道出的“打错了”
但是我早知道答案
“是的，他们并不记得” “他们会很讶异”
“原来缘分已经戏弄他们多年”
“时机尚未成熟，变成他们的命运”
缘分将他们推近，驱离。
阻挡他们的去路。
忍住笑声，
然后，
闪到一旁。
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.
他们都认为是一种突然的感觉把他们联在一起。
This certainty is beautiful,
这当然是美丽的，
even more beautiful than uncertainty.
甚至比那飘忽不定的命运更美。
They thought they didn’t know each other,
他们认为他们彼此并不了解，
nothing had ever happened between them,
在他们之间什么也不曾发生，
These streets, these stairs, this corridors,
这些街道，楼梯，这些走廊，
Where they could have met so long ago?
在很久以前他们会在哪里相逢？
I would like to ask them, if they can remember -
我很想去询问他们，如果他们还记得——
perhaps in a revolving door face to face one day?
或许某天，他们在一个旋转门里碰过面？
A “sorry“ in the crowd?
人群里的一声“对不起”？
“Wrong number“ on the ’phone?
电话里的一句“打错了”？
- but I know the answer.
——可是我知道那回答：
No, they don’t remember.
不，他们什么也记不起。
How surprised they would be
当他们得知，命运已经
For such a long time already
已经如此长时间地和他们嬉戏，
Fate has been playing with them.
他们应该多么惊异！
Not quite yet ready to change into destiny,
还没有做好准备去迎接变幻的命运，
which brings them nearer and yet further,
它使他们靠近，又把他们推远，
cutting their path
割断他们的道路，
and stifling a laugh,
然后压抑住笑声
escaping ever further;
远远地逃开；
There were sings（signs), indications,
这儿有一些符号，痕迹，
undecipherable, what does in matter.
无法破译，也没什么关系。
Three years ago, perhaps or even last Tuesday,
三年前，或者就在上个星期二，
this leaf flying from one shoulder to another?
这片树叶从一个人的肩飞向另一个人？
Something lost and gathered.
有些东西在失去，在聚集。
Who knows, perhaps a ball already
天知道，或许是童年的一个玻璃球
in the bushes, in childhood?
已经滚进了灌木丛里？
There were handles, door bells,
这儿有把手，有门铃，
where, on the trace of a hand,
什么地方，这只手握过的
another hand was placed;
另一只手也曾经握过：
suitcases next to one another in the left luggage.
在行李寄存处，这只手提箱紧挨着下一个。
And maybe one night the same dream forgotten on walking;
也许那同样的梦被忘却，在某个夜晚的漫步中：
But every badging is only a continuation,
可是每个标记都只是个延续，
and the book of fate is always open in the middle.
命运之书的阅读也经常从中间一页开始。

Ⅳ 电影《向左走向右走》里的诗
波兰女诗人
辛波丝卡：《一见钟情》
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.
一见钟情
他们彼此深信
是瞬间迸发的热情让他们相遇
这样的确定是美丽的
但变幻无常更为美丽
他们素未谋面
所以他们确定彼此并无任何瓜葛
但是听听自街道、楼梯、走廊传出的话语——
他俩或许擦肩而过一百万次了吧？
我想问他们
是否记不得了——
在旋转门
面对面那一刻？
或者在人群中喃喃说出的“对不起”？
或者在听筒截获的唐突的“打错了”？
然而我早知他们的答案。
是的，他们记不得了。
他们会感到诧异，倘若得知
缘分已玩弄他们
多年。
时机尚未成熟
成为他们命运的准备，
缘分将他们推近，驱离，
忍住笑声
阻挡他们的去路，
然后闪到一边。
有一些迹象和信号存在，
即使他们尚无法解读。
也许在三年前
或者就在上个星期二
有某片叶子飘舞于
肩与肩之间？
有东西掉了又捡了起来？
天晓得，也许是那个
消失于童年灌木丛中的球？
还有事前已被触摸
层层覆盖的
门把和门铃。
检查完毕后并排放置的手提箱。
有一晚，也许同样的梦，
到了早晨变得模糊。
每个开始
毕竟都只是续篇，
而充满情节的书本
总是从一半开始看起
