伊瓜蘇在南美瓜拉尼語有「大水」的意思。總闊2.7公里，高82公尺的伊瓜蘇瀑布是世界三大瀑布之一。
在《春光乍洩》裡，瀑布群象徴梁朝偉的旅程終結….但往何處去？
接受愛人的離開？接受自己從來只是孑然一身？
這像我們現今面對疫情經常遇到的事。
面對不可抗力如大自然、病毒以至意外，人類如此微不足道。一切皆非我們而起，卻又無從控制。
我的工作不是要分析這幕戲，而是要拍攝它。
最初的概念是要從正上方拍攝瀑布。我們不是拍明信片照，要捕捉的是瀑布抽象的美，展現的某種活力。
當時唯一能做的，就是借直升機拍攝。可是，找來的都不是專門用來拍攝的直升機。面積很小，最多只能容納機師、我與攝影機和助手。
我們決定在直升機邊緣安裝一個架來安置攝影機，再綁上彈簧索，確保它拍攝時不會因懸吊機外而掉下去。
我坐在直升機地板上，雙腿懸吊在架外，唯一確保我安全就是腰間纏着的一條繩，它由助手牽着。
伊瓜蘇瀑布的流量是每秒1,75立方公尺，形成了巨大的拉力， 使我們要再飛高1千米才能拍攝到這瀑布，避免被大水吸進去。
我要拍一個抽象又超凡脫俗的瀑布，然而瀑布群本來又是旅遊點，周圍都是酒店、觀光船和觀景橋。
我們在上空盤旋…我不斷拍攝，但鏡頭總避不開那些酒店，因為我們還未能從瀑布正上方拍下去。
接著我想到一個方法，我向機師提議把直升機機身傾斜向瀑布中心。機師說他試著做。
他把直升機身傾側一方，我也意識自己縱身下去，上半身整個人已懸吊機外。跟死神距離不過是千米之隔，結果全繫於一條繩和一條彈簧索….. 我本有畏高…..或許瀑布群讓我有了「頓悟」…..明白到自己為何堅持拍電影，為何我們還要關心。
於是……我成就了攝影生涯一個最難忘的電影鏡頭：為《春光乍洩》揭開序幕，營造了它的調子。
Iguazu means "big water" the indigenous Guarini language. And being 2.7 kilometres wide, and dropping 82 metres on average these falls are the biggest in the world.
In "Happy Together" they represent the end of Tony’s Journey to …. to what ?
Acceptance of loss of his lover ? We are all alone in ourselves ?
This something Covid 19 is making us all face up to day to day .
How insignificant we are compared to the infinite force that is Nature,
and a virus or accidents that are not our fault and yet not under our control?
It is not my role to analyse the meaning of the scene . I was my job to film it.
The idea was to film the falls from above. Not as a picture postcard, but more like some abstraction of beauty, some kind of celebration of energy.
The only way to do that was by helicopter. The only helicopter available was not equiped for filming. And it was very small. In fact so small that it could carry only the pilot, myself and the camera and my assistant.
We plan to rig a frame around the helicopter and "secure" the camera with bungee cords so it hang suspended outside the helicopter .
I sit on the floor, but my legs have to rest on the frame OUTSIDE. The only thing holding me in is my assistant holding a rope around my waist .
The water flows at 1.756 metres per second over the falls, which creates such a down-pull that we have to fly a kilometre above the falls to avoid being sucked in to them .
The idea is to have an image that is abstract, other-worldly. Problem is that the Falls are also a tourist destination so Hotels and tour boats and bridges all press right up to their edge.
We circle above … I shoot. I can’t keep the hotels and such out of frame . We are not looking directly down enough . What to do ?
I have a bright idea : let’s tilt the helicopter on its side and just hover right over the falls I suggest . The pilot says he’ll try.
He tilts the helicopter . And then I realise I am face down half way outside this machine a kilometer away from death only held back by a rope and a bungees cord … and then in spite of my fear or heights …. Or maybe because of them I have a kind of “ epiphany “ … I realise why I am doing this, that’s we make films, why we care .
And so….we get one of the most memorable shots I have ever made : the one that opens and sets the mood for Happy Together.
