影片对白 I stand upon my desk to remind myself that...

思想火花 Look at things in a different way

1. Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando in The Godfather

American actor, awarded two Academy Awards for best actor, known for his use of the naturalistic "method" style of acting. He received an Academy Award for best actor for his performance in On the Waterfront (1954). He was selected to receive the Academy Award for best actor for his performance in The Godfather (1972) but he refused it, citing the film industry's exploitation of Native Americans. 马龙·白兰度最著名的角色是在《欲望号街车》(1951年)中饰演的斯坦利·科瓦尔斯基。《教父》是他的后期代表作品。

Marlon Brando won an Academy Award for his performance as Don Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 motion picture The Godfather. The film's critical acclaim and box-office success signaled the beginning of a revival in the motion-picture industry. In the 1970s, a new generation of directors that included Coppola, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese began to reshape Hollywood studios and redefine the blockbuster phenomenon.

2. Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Thoreau, Henry David (1817-1862) is American writer, philosopher, and naturalist who believed in the importance of individualism. Thoreau's best-known work is Walden; or, Life in the Woods (1854), which embodies his philosophy and reflects his independent character. The book records Thoreau's experiences in a hand-built cabin, where he spent two years in partial seclusion, at Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts.
梭罗是美国思想史上一个有创见的人物,他一生大部分时间在肯考德和马萨诸塞度过,在这些地方他同新英格兰的先验论者来往并在瓦尔登湖的岸边住了两年。他的主要作品还有《公民的反抗》。
