没人能够…
That no one could possibly…

with the great stars, producers,
或者导演 一起出现在大银幕上

他在他制♥作♥的所有影片中
And he left his impeccable taste,
都融入了他无可挑剔的审美
his incredible attention to detail,
以及对细节的精益求精
on every frame he touched.
我们无从谈论他为何如此突然地离我们而去
It is not for us to say why he was taken from us so unexpectedly.
他只在人们心中留下了回忆
Behind, he leaves his memory.

The memory of a great man, a talented man,
一个正直无瑕的男人的回忆
a man of unblemished integrity.
