【附注】何谓叙事范式(Narrative Paradigm)? ► The Narrative Paradigm is a theory proposed by 20th century philosopher Walter Fisher(瓦尔特·费雪) that all meaningful communication is a form of storytelling or giving a report of events, and that human beings experience and comprehend life(领悟生命) as a series of ongoing narratives, each with its own conflicts, characters, beginning, middle, and end. Fisher believes that all forms of communication that appeal(吸引) to our reason are best viewed as stories shaped by history, culture, and character(人物), and all forms of human communication are to be seen fundamentally as stories.
[注1] 1972年《教父》之所以成为影坛经典电影,重点不是在那个虚构的黑帮故事剧情,真正的主题是在传达「忠诚、信任、服从、亲情、友谊」的价值观和信念,是维系家族自豪感和个人荣誉的纽带,这就是《教父》如此受欢迎的原因。 [注2]《教父》的配乐主题曲原本获得1973年奥斯卡金像奖的提名,后来被取消,原因是作曲者Nino Rota,早在1958年的另一部义大利喜剧电影《金桔》(Fortunella)中使用了同样的主题曲,差别是该曲采用轻松欢愉的曲调风格。怪异的是,1974年的《教父2》同样采取《教父》的主题配乐,但是在1975年奥斯卡金像奖却获得了最佳配乐奖。此首配乐主题曲在「AFI百年百大电影配乐」(AFI`s 100 Years of Film Scores)名列第5名。
