本片改编自改编自马里奥.普佐(Mario Puzo)的畅销小说《教父》,可以说是一部在美国电影史上占有极重要地位的影片。它尽现了法兰西斯.福特.柯波拉(Francis Ford Coppola)超卓的导演才华,在第45届奥斯卡金像奖赢得最佳影片、 最佳改编剧本与最佳男主角3项大奖。但本片更重要的意义在于将美国电影史上一个十分悠久的犯罪片类型开拓了广阔的前景,其思想深度和内涵远远超越了暴力的范畴,而将主题升华为人类社会中最常见的权力交替中的深层意义“权力”与“罪恶”的关系作出辩证。一个意大利柯利昂家族的犯罪史,岂不也是近代欧美社会的一页犯罪史?
speak softly love(the godfather)(教父主题曲) - andy williams
speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart
i feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
we're in a world, our very own
sharing a love that only few have ever known
wine-colored days warmed by the sun
deep velvet nights when we are one
speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
the vows of love we make will live until we die
my life is yours and all becau-au-se
you came into my world with love so softly love
wine-colored days warmed by the sun
deep velvet nights when we are one
ah…………
才发现z/z的表演节目音乐的前半部就是它,词也写得很美:“相许的誓言至死不渝,我的生命属于你,因为你,走进我的世界,带来如许柔情”
