MJ自傳<月球漫步> 中對《伊奧船長》的描述

************這篇影評可能有雷************

Captain Eo came about because the Disney Studios wanted me to come up with a new ride for the parks. They said they didn't care what I did, as long as it was something creative. I had this big meeting with them, and during the course of the afternoon I told them that Walt Disney was a hero of mine and that I was very interested in Disney's history and philosophy. I wanted to do something with that Mr. Disney himself would have approved. I had read a number of books about Walt Disney and his creative empire, and it was very important to me to do things as he would have.
因為迪斯尼電影製片廠希望我能為公園增添一些新的活力，所以《EO船長》就由此誕生了。迪斯尼的人說他們並不在乎我做些什麼，但一定是要創新的。我和他們開了一個很長的會，我在整個下午的時間中告訴他們，華特·迪斯尼是我崇拜的英雄，我對他的歷史和他的人生觀都很有興趣，我所要做的必須是迪斯尼先生本人會贊同的。我讀過許多關於他和他的「王國」的書，對我來說，做他可能會去做的事是很有意義的，很重要的。

In the end, they asked me to do a movie and I agreed. I told them I would like to work with George Lucas and 史蒂夫n Spielberg. It turned out 史蒂夫n was busy, so George brought Francis Ford Coppola and that was the Captain Eo team.
最後，他們讓我拍一部電影，我就同意了。我說我希望喬治·盧卡斯和史蒂文·史匹柏能和我一起工作，結果史蒂文因為忙不能來，喬治把弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉帶來了，這就組成了《EO船長》的一班人馬。
I flew up to San Francisco a couple of times to visit George at his place, Skywalker Ranch, and gradually we came up with a scenario for a short film that would incorporate every recent advance in 3-D technology. Caption Eo would look and feel like the audience was in a spaceship, along for the ride.
我乘飛機去舊金山喬治的家「天行者」農場訪問了幾次，漸漸的我們寫出了一個劇本，它將會運用上最先進的立體攝影技術，觀眾看《EO船長》時會感到他們也一同坐在宇宙飛船里在太空遨遊。
Captain Eo is about transformation and the way music can help to change the world. George came up with the name Captain Eo. (Eo is Greek for "dawn.") The story is about a young guy who goes on a mission to this miserable planet run by an evil queen. He is entrusted with the responsibility of bringing the inhabitants light and beauty. It's a great celebration of good over evil.
《EO船長》講的是音樂的力量如何改變了世界，是喬治想出「EO船長」這個名字的。故事講的是一個年輕人身負重任，到了一個被妖魔皇后控制的星球上，他的任務是要除去妖魔，給人們帶來光明和幸福，最後的結局是善戰勝了惡。
Working on Captain Eo reinforced all the positive feelings I've had about working in film and made me realize more than ever that movies are where my future path probably lies. I love the movies and have since I was real little. For two hours you can be transported to another place. Films can take you anywhere. That's what I like. I can sit down and say, "Okay, nothing else exists right now. Take me to a place that's wonderful and make me forget about my pressures and my worries and day-to-day schedule."
拍攝《EO船長》加深了我對電影原有的肯定的想法，使我比以前更加意識到，也許將來我就會走上這條路了。我從小時候起就特別喜愛電影，整整兩個小時，你可以完全到了另外一個地方，電影可以使你忘卻一切，這就是為什麼我喜歡電影。我可以坐下來，說：「好吧，現在什麼都不存在了，把我帶到一個美妙的境界去，忘掉我的壓力，忘掉我的煩惱，忘掉一成不變的日程安排吧。」   舉報
