佛朗西斯科波拉的Pitch

So why is it that "The Godfather" is selling more copies than the Bible？You think it's about the drug trade in 1946 New York City. Not at all. It's a metaphor for American capitalism. The American Dream. The mythic battle for control, okay? What is our opening line? "I believe in America". How perfect is that? And what is American to this undertaker? It's a land of opportunity, and it's a justice system that has failed him. It's Shakespear. It's Greek. Biblical. Epic. Evil versus evil. Fun. "The godfather" is a story about men, and they come together, and they form a bond and they find justice through loyalty, not the fucking law. But at its core, this is a story about family. That's the secret sauce. That is what has captured the hearts and mind of the whole world. You read it and you say"That's my family, that's your family" For Paramount， it's the Corleone family. I know how to make this film. You need an Italian to tell this tale. Four million all-in not including prints and ads, I can do that. He told me to say that last part.
