重新看the Godfather

Post by tiffany » 2005-09-12 11:21

上一次看这本名著,近代经典,还是多少年以前,还没开始屁也吃得预备队生涯的时候。一看之下惊为天书,研读了若干遍闹明白了前因后果---这个事情说明,我老人家不适合写勾心斗角书,记住了若干比如“不要侮辱我的智力”的经典名言。
本次再看,故事情节烂熟于胸,也就不太讲究从哪儿看起,翻到哪页是哪页。一翻就翻到了老堂教麦克如何说不,教育完毕,老堂问麦克是否准备好,麦克说一切就绪,接下来麦克温柔说道一切都是我做主,你甚至没有机会否决。老堂就说:有些职责甚至是最优秀的人无法承担的。我做了我那一份,做不动了。这短短一小节,看的我无比感动,第一次想明白原来这个老堂也是个悲剧人物。当然大而化之的说,人人都是悲剧人物,虽说悲剧也有古希腊经典悲剧和无敌爱伦人生难吃且少的默默黑的幽默悲剧。这个老堂的悲剧就浓缩在他对自己现状的描述:done my share, have no stomach for it any more. 麦克代替他履行家族职责,逼得他老婆kay成了虔诚的天主教徒。书的结尾,麦克似乎达到了合法化的目标,在内华达做成功人士,加入了上流社会的圈子,跟普通的非常有钱的人差别不大。我喜欢这个结尾多过电影。
最后要自拍肩膀一,老堂开完议和会议之后跟tome hagen一番谈话,我老人家一下子就明白他什么意思了,当年百思不甚解啊!这若干年还是没有活到狗狗身上啊。

请教白金: TOM HARGEN 说他戴上西西里帽子才明白老堂的意思,那到底是个什么意思啊! 我还是不甚明白。 是不是说家族要合法化就不需要军师了呢? 还是说TOM是战时的军师所以会防碍家族合法化?

不是啊。我觉得老堂的这个战略有两个意思。一个是确认麦克的家族领袖位置。二是把自己彻底摘清楚。因为tom hagen一直在家族地位挺高,不象麦克属于迷途知返。所以如果tom参与的话,在外人看来,麦克还不是领袖,而血腥报复是tom执行老堂的意愿。这是我的理解啊,我说过了,我的脑子不够复杂,理解错了不管啊。

a point that I found very interesting is that their contempt for black people in general doesn't root in superficial thing such as skin color, according to the book anyhow, but rather was inspired by their acceptance of their fate. To quote Mario Puzo's words "they let the society grind them to dust" hence doesn't deserve respect.
