导演阐述 Director’s Statement
在过去的几年里，世界的的确确让人感觉正在崩溃。流行病肆虐，地球变暖，政治倒退，敌对行动加剧，动荡、仇恨和冲突永无休止。在这样的氛围下，当我们的爱情再次成为不可说时，我们相信讲述一个美好结局的酷儿爱情故事是一种紧迫而美丽的抵抗。
当我们寻找一个能够表达两个角色之间关系深度的标题时，我们意识到唯一一个足够分量的词，来自我们有幸称之为家的地方：Aikāne，夏威夷语中对同性亲密朋友的尊称。 受到这种独特理解和包容的启发，我们创造了一个虚构的世界，这个世界也取材于神话传说、地点和人物跨越时空，其中角色的相互吸引被赞扬而不是蔑视，能激发力量而不是软弱。
我们希望这部英雄般的同性恋爱情故事能够反映我们的理想世界、——一个勇气无限、爱也无限的世界。
Over the past few years, the world has felt, literally, like it is falling apart. A pandemic swirls, the planet warms, politics regresses and hostilities rise, with no end to the turbulence, hate, and strife in sight. In this climate, as love like ours once again becomes love which dare not speak its name, we believe that telling a queer love story with a happy ending is an urgent and beautiful form of resistance.
As we searched for a title that would express the depth of the relationship between the two characters, we realized that the only word that would suffice comes from the place we are fortunate to call home: Aikāne, the Hawaiian term of respect for intimate friends of the same sex. Inspired by that unique understanding and embrace, we created an imaginary world that also drew from myths and legends, places and peoples across space and time, in which the characters’ mutual magnetism is celebrated rather than scorned, arousing strength rather than weakness.
We hope this heroic gay romance reflects the world we’d all like to live in – a world where courage has no limit and love has no bounds.
