走进约翰·凯泽尔 (2009)

四十分钟的纪录片短片《走进约翰·凯泽尔》（I Knew It Was You：Rediscovering John Cazale）于4月26日下午在美国马萨诸塞州萨默维尔市影院放映。约翰·凯泽尔是意裔美国人，他的一生中只塑造过五个角色，但个个都被影迷们奉为经典。在他出演电影之前，已经凭舞台剧《印第安人想要布朗克斯》(TheIndianWantstheBronx)赢得多项大奖。凯泽尔与阿尔·帕西诺是老朋友，所以在阿尔有机会出演弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉的《教父》时，凯泽尔也受邀出演片中的弗雷多。在《教父II》中他继续扮演了这个人物，并成为他个人表演生涯中的一个最为知名的角色。1974年凯泽尔同吉恩·哈克曼及哈里森·福特合作了惊悚片《窃听大阴谋》，在片中他扮演哈克曼的助手斯坦。此片也是科波拉执导的。凯泽尔的第四个角色是在影片《热天午后》中的银行劫匪萨尔，此片为他赢得了当年金球奖最佳男配角的提名。凯泽尔的最后一部电影《猎鹿人》是与梅丽尔·斯特里普合作的，影片拍摄时凯泽尔已经身患癌症。在拍摄过程中他与斯特里普相互吸引并订婚。导演迈克尔·西米诺在得知凯泽尔的病情之后，决定把凯泽尔的戏分先拍完。后来剧组发现他得了骨癌，想让他退出剧组时，斯特里普表示如果凯泽尔退出，她也将辞演。影片拍摄完成后不久凯泽尔即与世长辞。约翰·凯泽尔参演作品列表：《猎鹿人》(The Deer Hunter)(1978)《热天午后》(Dog Day Afternoon)(1975)《窃听大阴谋》(The Conversation)(1974)《教父2》(The Godfather：PartII)(1974)《教父》(The Godfather)(1972)制作人动机：很多影迷对《教父》电影中的明星都已耳熟能详，然而提到扮演弗雷多的演员时，人们脑海中常常一片空白。这部纪录片则详细介绍了这位英年早逝的意大利裔明星：约翰·凯泽尔。Admired by actors and directors, adored by friends and lovers, yet unknown to most movie-goers, the venerable stage and screen actor John Cazale appeared in some of the most iconic films of the 1970's - Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, The Godfather: Part II and The Conversation, Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon and Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter. The critically-lauded films collectively earned 40 Oscar nominations, including 14 for Cazale's co-stars, and raked in millions at the box office.In 1978, just after wrapping The Deer Hunter, Cazale died tragically at age 42 and cinema was robbed of one its brightest. In I Knew It Was You, director Richard Shepard talks with Cazale's co-stars and friends, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, Francis Ford Coppola, Israel Horovitz, Phillip Seymor Hoffman, Steve Buscemi and Sam Rockwell, and paints a loving tribute to a talent taken too soon.John Cazale's resume as a film actor isn't long, but it's distinguished. Cazale appeared in five feature films, and each one received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, while three of them -- The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and The Deer Hunter -- won the category.
