电影开场是人漂浮在海中，光从水面透下来。加上逼真的效果，甚至有种恍惚感，让我想起去年在马来西亚的浮潜，那时候在水里透过护目镜看到的天空也是这样的。是那种隔离了周遭所有的声音的恍惚。之后的是一段舒缓的音乐，加上一首《忽必烈汗》，这里不得不说，翻译还是很给力的，
诗歌原文“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.”
剧中的翻译“驾临上都…忽必烈称大可汗
长乐穹宫…其堂皇溢于敕言：
宫畔漠漠…倾流圣阿尔浮之河
潜入巨穴…其深深非人子所能觇”
初始感觉这首诗很有意思，等片子快要结束再听的时候，竟然有种茫然的感觉，堵得慌，所以不得不记录下来，并且写些什么。
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuousrills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearingtree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm whichslanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoilseething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants werebreathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like reboundinghail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher'sflail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once andever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless toman,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me
That with music loud and long
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed
And drunk the milk of Paradise .
