restoration that has resulted in the new documentary “EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert,” which opens in IMAX theaters across the country on Friday.
That journey began, improbably enough, in an underground salt mine in Kansas. “People think it’s a turn of phrase,” Luhrmann said, in a video interview from his office in Australia. “It’s not.” Such facilities are where studios like Warner Bros., which now owns
這部名為《EPiC:貓王演唱會》的全新紀錄片,由盧曼執導,將於本週五在全美IMAX影院上映。
這段修復之旅的起點,說來也巧,竟是堪薩斯州的地下鹽礦。 「人們以為這只是個比喻,」盧曼在澳洲辦公室接受視訊採訪時說道,「其實不是。」華納兄弟等電影公司(如今擁有這段影像的版權)就把他們的檔案資料存放在這樣的設施裡——當然,價格不菲。the footage, keep their archival materials — at a price.
IMAX版貓王:新發現的影像如何成就沉浸式紀錄片
在籌備2022年上映的貓王傳記片時,巴茲魯曼偶然得知堪薩斯州一座鹽礦裡保存著一些從未公開的影像資料。這開啟了一段曲折的旅程。一張檔案照片顯示,一名身穿白色連身衣的男子敞開胸膛,站在麥克風前,身後是幾位模糊的樂手。

他曾因膚色黝黑而被稱作“骯髒”,又因英語口齒不清而被誤解。初到美國時,他被安排在移民特殊班級。然而,他的幾位老師卻從他的繪畫和世界觀中看到了他獨特的表達方式。他很快就掌握了英語。
他的母親做出了一個艱難的決定,帶著他、兩個妹妹和一個同母異父的弟弟來到美國,為家人尋求更好的生活。他們定居在波士頓南區,當時是敘利亞裔黎巴嫩裔美國人第二大聚居區。這個家庭生活艱辛,年幼的他失去了一位姊姊和一位同父異母的弟弟,他們都死於肺結核。他的母親也因癌症去世。
他曾寫道:“苦難造就最堅強的靈魂;最偉大的品格都飽經磨難。”
他於1883年1月6日出生於如今的黎巴嫩,家境貧寒。
他信仰愛,信仰和平,信仰理解。
他的名字是卡里·紀伯倫,他最著名的作品是《先知》。這部作品於1923年出版,銷量達數千萬冊,使他成為史上銷量第三高的詩人,僅次於莎士比亞和老子。
《先知》已被翻譯成108種語言在全球發行,其段落常被引用於婚禮、政治演講和葬禮上,激勵了約翰·F·肯尼迪、英迪拉·甘地、埃爾維斯·普雷斯利、約翰·列儂和大衛·鮑伊等眾多有影響力的人物。
紀伯倫直言不諱,抨擊虛偽和腐敗。他的書在貝魯特被焚毀,在美國,他也曾收到死亡威脅。
紀伯倫是家中唯一接受正規教育的人。他的姊妹們由於中東傳統和經濟困難,未能入學。然而,紀伯倫深受家中女性,尤其是母親的堅強意志的鼓舞。在一位姊妹、母親和同母異父的弟弟過世後,另一位姊妹瑪麗安娜在裁縫店工作,養活了自己和紀伯倫。
他曾這樣形容他的母親:
「人類唇齒間最美的詞語是『母親’,最動人的呼喚是『我的母親』。這是一個充滿希望與愛的詞語,一個來自內心深處的甜蜜而溫柔的詞語。母親就是一切——她是我們在悲傷中的慰藉,我們在苦難中的希望,我們在軟弱中的力量。她是愛、憐憫、同情和寬恕的源泉。」
紀伯倫後來積極倡導婦女解放和教育事業。
他堅信:“維護他人的權利是人類最高尚、最美好的目標。”
在一首寫給新移民的詩中,他寫道:“我相信你們可以對這個偉大國家的締造者們說:‘我來了。我是一個年輕人,一棵幼樹,根係來自黎巴嫩的山丘。但我已深深紮根於此,我將在這裡結出豐碩的果實。’”
他在《先知》一書中寫道:
Elvis in IMAX: How Newly Found Footage Became an Immersive Documentary
While working on a 2022 biopic of the King, Baz Luhrmann learned of unseen footage stored in a Kansas salt mine. That was the start of a winding journey.
He was called "filthy" because his skin was dark, unintelligible because he could barely speak English. When he arrived in this country, he was placed in a special class for immigrants. But, a few of his teachers saw something in the way he expressed himself, through his drawings, through his view of the world. He would soon master his new language.
His mother had made a difficult decision to take him, his two younger sisters and a half-brother to America, seeking a better life for their family. They settled in Boston's South End, at the time the second-largest Syrian-Lebanese-American community. The family would struggle and the young boy would lose one sister and his half-brother to tuberculosis. His mother would die of cancer.
He would write, “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”
He was born in poverty on January 6, 1883 in what is now modern day Lebanon.
He believed in love, he believed in peace, and he believed in understanding.
His name was Kahlil Gibran, and he is primarily known for his book, "The Prophet." The book, published in 1923, would sell tens of millions of copies, making him the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi.
Published in 108 languages around the world, passages from "The Prophet" are quoted at weddings, in political speeches and at funerals, inspiring influential figures such as John F. Kennedy, Indira Gandhi, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and David Bowie.
He was very outspoken, attacking hypocrisy and corruption. His books were burned in Beirut, and in America, he would receive death threats.
Gibran was the only member of his family to pursue scholastic education. His sisters were not allowed to enter school, primarily because of Middle Eastern traditions as well as financial difficulties. Gibran, however, was inspired by the strength of the women in his family, especially his mother. After one sister, his mother, and his half-brother died, his other sister, Mariana would support Gibran and herself by working at a dressmaker's shop.
Of his mother, he would write:
"The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind is the word 'Mother,' and the most beautiful call is the call of 'My mother.' It is a word full of hope and love, a sweet and kind word coming from the depths of the heart. The mother is everything – she is our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness."
Gibran would later champion the cause of women’s emancipation and education.
He believed that “Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.”
In a poem to new immigrants, he would write, "I believe you can say to the founders of this great nation. 'Here I am. A youth. A young tree. Whose roots were plucked from the hills of Lebanon. Yet I am deeply rooted here. And I would be fruitful.'"
He would write in "The Prophet":
“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”

● THE PROPHET ●
Do not live half a life
and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it
for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half the way will get you no where
You are a whole that exists to live a life
not half a life. ~Khalil Gibran
