The Instant New York Times Bestseller "The book is a beautiful trip." (New York Times Magazine) - "Soulful . . . Feels like hanging out within a history of American movies over the last 50 years." (Los Angeles Times) - "Startlingly cinematic ... A fine memoir." (The Guardian)
From one of the most iconic actors in the history of film, an astonishingly revelatory account of a creative life in full To the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. He landed his first leading role, in The Panic in Needle Park, in 1971, and by 1975, he had starred in four movies--The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon--that were not just successes but landmarks in the history of film. Those performances became legendary and changed his life forever. Not since Marlon Brando and James Dean in the late 1950s had an actor landed in the culture with such force. But Pacino was in his midthirties by then, and had already lived several lives. A fixture of avant-garde theater in New York, he had led a bohemian existence, working odd jobs to support his craft. He was raised by a fiercely loving but mentally unwell mother and her parents after his father left them when he was young, but in a real sense he was raised by the streets of the South Bronx, and by the troop of buccaneering young friends he ran with, whose spirits never left him. After a teacher recognized his acting promise and pushed him toward New York's fabled High School of Performing Arts, the die was cast. In good times and bad, in poverty and in wealth and in poverty again, through pain and joy, acting was his lifeline, its community his tribe. Sonny Boy is the memoir of a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide. All the great roles, the essential collaborations, and the important relationships are given their full due, as is the vexed marriage between creativity and commerce at the highest levels. The book's golden thread, however, is the spirit of love and purpose. Love can fail you, and you can be defeated in your ambitions--the same lights that shine bright can also dim. But Al Pacino was lucky enough to fall deeply in love with a craft before he had the foggiest idea of any of its earthly rewards, and he never fell out of love. That has made all the difference.

'這本書是一場美麗的旅行。' (紐約時報雜誌) - '充滿靈魂……感覺就像在過去50年美國電影的歷史中閒逛。' (洛杉磯時報) - '驚人地具電影感……一本精彩的回憶錄。' (衛報)來自電影史上最具標誌性的演員之一，對一個充實創意生活的驚人揭示 對於更廣泛的世界來說，阿爾·帕西諾（Al Pacino）如超新星般爆炸性地進入了影壇。他在1971年獲得了他的第一個主角角色，電影是針頭公園的恐慌，到1975年，他已經主演了四部電影——教父和教父第二部、蛇頭以及狗日午後——這些不僅是成功之作，更是電影史上的里程碑。這些表演成為傳奇，永遠改變了他的生活。自從1950年代末的馬龍·白蘭度（Marlon Brando）和詹姆斯·迪恩（James Dean）以來，沒有任何演員能如此強烈地進入文化。 但到那時，帕西諾已經三十多歲，並且已經過了幾種人生。他是紐約前衛劇場的常客，過著波希米亞式的生活，做著零工來支持他的藝術。他在父親年輕時離開他們後，由一位充滿愛心但精神不健全的母親和她的父母撫養長大，但在某種意義上，他是由南布朗克斯的街道和他那群永不離去的叛逆朋友們撫養大的。在一位老師認出他的演技潛力並推他進入紐約傳奇的表演藝術高中的時候，命運已經注定。在好時光和壞時光中，在貧窮和富裕中，再到再次的貧窮，通過痛苦和喜悅，演戲是他的生命線，這個社群是他的部落。 索尼男孩是一本關於一個不再害怕和不再隱藏任何東西的人的回憶錄。所有偉大的角色、重要的合作和重要的關係都得到了充分的重視，創意與商業之間的複雜婚姻在最高層面上也得到了探討。然而，這本書的金線是愛與目的的精神。愛可能會讓你失望，你的抱負也可能會被擊敗——同樣的光芒可以明亮，也可以黯淡。但阿爾·帕西諾幸運地在對任何世俗獎勵有最模糊的概念之前，深深地愛上了這門技藝，並且他從未失去這份愛。這一切都讓他的人生截然不同。
