影片故事的背景是开发新大陆的年代,印第安公主对奉命随同总督前来英国新大陆寻找黄金的英国船长John
Smith说,你们自以为你们拥有你们所踏上的任何一块土地,土地对人类是没有生命的,只要踏上脚就成了你们的私有物,但我知道世界的每一块岩石,每一棵树都有灵魂,都有名字……
我听之我见: 初秋。湛蓝的天空。无拘无束地躺在草地上,聆听风之彩。
另一角度的思索: “风之彩”,感恩的心哪儿去了?
感恩节之际,再听这首经典老歌《风之彩》,或许,我们会生出另一番感受。这种感受不叫浪漫,而是厚重的历史……
Lyrics
Colors of the wind
by Vanessa L Williams
You think you own whatever
land you land on The earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know
every rock and tree and creature Has a life has a spirit has a
name You think the only people who are people Are the people who
look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll
learn things you never knew You never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry To the blue
corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned Can
you sing with all the voices of the mountain Can you paint with all the
colors of the wind Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth Come roll in all the
riches all around you And for once never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers The heron and the otter are my
friends And we are all connected to each other In a circle in a hoop that
never ends
Have you ever heard the wolf cry To the blue corn
moon Or let the eagle tell you where he's been Can you sing with all the
voices of the mountain Can you paint with all the colors of the wind Can
you paint with all the colors of the wind
How high does the sycamore grow If you cut it down then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry To the blue corn moon For whether we are white of copper-skinned We need to sing with all
the voices of the mountain We need to paint with all the colors of the
wind
You can own the earth
and still All you'll own is earth until You can paint with all the colors
of the wind

风之彩 范妮莎·威廉姆斯
你认为你拥有你脚下的每一寸土地 土地在你眼中没有生命
你可以声明所有权 但是我知道:每一块岩石,每一棵树,每一只动物 都有生命,都有灵魂,都有名字
