Vintage Coppola,fine wine and iconic films flow through legendary director's career.
上等的Coppola,好酒和经典影片流淌在这位传奇式导演的事业之河中。
REVEALED:Master filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola relaxes in the grounds of his vineyard in California. He appears to be a man very much at peace with himself. An Oscar winner who is responsible for a series of films that have consistently been voted as being among the best ever to be made, to describe him as a living legend is no exaggeration. Born in Detroit in the year the Second World War started, a childhood illness left him bedridden for long periods.
〈揭秘〉---电影大师弗朗·科波拉在他位于加州的葡萄园里休憩。他看起来相当平静悠然。身为奥斯卡得主的他，所拍的话多电影都一再被选为史上最佳片。因此，称他为活生生的传奇一点都不为过。他在第二次世界大战爆发的那一年出生于底特律，儿时曾经因病卧床许久。
FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA, DIRECTOR AND VINTNERS:I don't think I was a very extraordinary person, certainly a very extraordinary kid. I, if anything, I had a good imagination, and I was just in love with science and girls. And that brought me to theater.
导演兼酿酒人弗朗西斯.科波拉：我不认为自己非常特殊，小时候也一点都不特别。如果要说我有什么特点，就是丰富的想象力，而且我热爱科学和女孩子。我就是因此踏入了戏剧这一行。
REVEALED:During the 60s, he teamed up with a man who was going to have a long-lasting impact on his future plans. Alongside George Lucas, he set up film company American Zoetrope. The Godfather won three Oscars and is generally regarded as one of the greatest films ever. Coppola is quick to acknowledge the impact the film had on the rest of his life.FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA, DIRECTOR AND VINTNERS:That project really changed my career to something very different than I would have imagined. I never would have thought of myself as, you know, kind of a more Hollywood or industry film director, or certainly not at that level of success.
〈揭秘〉---世纪年代期间，他与一个人合作，而且这个人对他未来的规划产生了深远的影响。这个人就是乔治·卢卡斯，他们两人共同成立了美国西洋镜这家电影公司。《教父》赢得三项奥斯卡奖，并且被公认为史上巨作之一。科波拉毫不讳言这部电影对他后续人生造成的冲击。导演兼酿酒人弗朗西斯.科波拉：导演兼酿酒入弗朗西斯·科波拉拍摄那部电影对我事业的改变超乎我的想象。我从没想过自己会成为好莱坞或商业电影的导演，至少从没想过会达到这么成功的程度。
REVEALED:The Godfather was the first film in a trilogy. completed over almost two decades. For a lot of directors, it would represent an unsurpassable body of work, but Coppola had another masterpiece up his sleeve. An iconic scene from one of the greatest films of all times, set to the music of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyriesl, Apocalypse Now was an epic movie set during the Vietnam War. It was the film that nearly destroyed Francis Ford Coppola's fledgling career. Filming, which started in 1976, took the better part of three years to complete and ran into immediate financial difficulties. Against all the odds, the movie was completed.Alongside his first loves-family and film-Coppola has slowly been developing a new passion. In California's Napa Valley, ,he has his own vineyard, which has established quite a reputation. It was hailed as a masterpiece and went on to win numerous awards.Alongside his first loves-family and film-Coppola has slowly been developing a new passion.

〈揭秘〉---《教父》是-套三部曲当中的第一集，整部影片历经将近二十年才完成。对于许多导演而言，这么一整部的作品想必已是无可超越的一大成就。不过，科波拉却还有另一部经典之作。这幕经典的画面取自电影史上的一部伟大巨作，配乐是瓦格纳歌剧《女武神的飞行》，《现代启示录》(注)是一部史诗电影，故事背景为越战。这部片几乎毁掉了科波拉才刚起步的电影事业。这部电影的拍摄工作始于1976 年，花了将近年才大功告成，并随即遭遇到财务困难。不过，尽管困难重重，这部电影终于还是制作完成，结果被赞誉为经典之作，并且获奖逛逛。除了自始至终热爱的家庭与电影之外，科波拉也逐渐培养出一个新的爱好。在加利福尼亚州纳帕谷，他拥有自己的葡萄园，目前已颇有名气。
FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA, DIRECTOR AND VINTNERS:I realized then about, I don't know 15 years ago, that the movie business wasn't really a business, that it was a crazy activity in which you might have a lot of success one year, but you couldn't bank on it. And the wine business was really like every year you could do better than you had done the year before, and you could predict it.And I said, jeez, you know, that's... this is like a job. This is like a real job, and maybe I could use that to subsidize my own film, and I could be an artist, because how can you be an artist unless you have a day job? Oddly enough, the god of wine and the god of drama is the same god-Bacchus.
导演兼酿酒人弗朗西斯.科波拉：我差不多在15年前了解到，拍电影其实算不上是真正的事业，而是一种疯狂的举动。你也许会有一年大获成功，但是你不能完全靠它。葡萄酒这个行业则是真正可以一年比一年进步，而且具有可预测性。所以我说，哎呀，这…这才算是一份工作，一份真正的工作。说不定我可以利用这项事业资助我自己的电影，这样我就可以当个艺术家。毕竟，如果没有全职工作，怎么当得了艺术家呢?巧的是，酒神和戏剧之神同样都是巴克斯。
REVEALED:The vineyard has helped Coppola finance his latest film, Tetro, a saga of family fortunes. He both wrote and directed it.
〈揭秘〉---这个葡萄园资助了科波拉的新作《泰特罗》，一部描写家族兴衰的电影。这是他自编自导的作品。
