《教父1》:最平淡最无激情的求婚
没有玫瑰,没有钻戒,甚至没有甜言蜜语;迈克(Michael)提出,凯(Kay)首肯:现实中的爱情总没有想象的美好。看到《教父》中的这一段,你只会得出一个结论——不管你是不是赞同——婚姻不是因为“爱”,至少不是双方都有,而是因为“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.
