I'm a big fan of the song, so naturally I grabbed the 1080p video off YouTube. I kept noticing little details and just had to share them.
I’ve been asked again and again whether I can provide the translation for the Chinese conversation between Keano Reeves and the Chinese man in "The Day the Earth Stood Still". I can, and here it is :
Keano Reeves : You’ve been out of contact for a long time.
Chinese man : I had a dangerous assignment. This is hostile territory.
Keano Reeves : I’ve noticed. I was hoping I could reason with them.
Chinese man : I’m afraid they are not a reasonable race. I’ve been living amongst them for seventy years now. I know them well.
Keano Reeves : And?
Chinese man : Any attempt to intercede with them would be futile. They are destructive, and they won’t change.
Keano Reeves : Is that your official report?
Chinese man : The tragedy is, they know what’s going to become of them. They sense it. But they can’t seem to do anything about it.
Keano Reeves : It’s decided then. I’ll begin the process as soon as possible. We should make preparations for our departure.
(moving back to English)
Chinese man : I’m staying.
Keano Reeves : You can’t stay here.
Chinese man : I can, and I will.
Keano Reeves : lf you stay, you’ll die.
Chinese man : I know. This is my home now.
Keano Reeves : You yourself called them a destructive race.
Chinese man : That’s true. But, still, there is another side. You see, l… I love them. This is a very strange thing. I can’t find a way to explain it to you. I… For many years, l… I cursed my luck for being sent here. Human life is difficult. But as this life is coming to an end, I consider myself lucky to have lived it.
