《教父1》:最平淡最無激情的求婚
沒有玫瑰,沒有鉆戒,甚至沒有甜言蜜語;邁克(Michael)提出,凱(Kay)首肯:現實中的愛情總沒有想象的美好。看到《教父》中的這一段,你只會得出一個結論——不管你是不是贊同——婚姻不是因為“愛”,至少不是雙方都有,而是因為“需要”。
Kay: How long have you been back?
Michael: I've been back a year. Longer than that, I think. It's good to see you, Kay. I'm working for my father now, Kay. He's been sick. Very sick.
……
Kay: Michael, why did you come here? Why? What do you want with me after all this time? I've been calling and writing.
Michael: I came because I need you. I care for you.
Kay: Please stop it, Michael.
Michael: Because... I want you to marry me.
Kay: It's too late.
Michael: Please, Kay...I'll do anything you ask to make up for what's happened to us. Because that's important, Kay. Because what's important is that...we have each other. That we have a life together. That we have children. Our children. Kay, I need you. And I love you.
