Salma Hayek promoted this film on her visit to Lebanon, the birth place of Gibran Kahlil Gibran. Hayek is also of Lebanese descent.
Salma Hayek is Mexican of Lebanese, Spanish, as well as Mexican descent. Kahlil Gibran is American of Lebanese Origin, born in Bcharre, North Lebanon. Gabriel Yared is French of Lebanese Origin, born in Beirut, Lebanon.
Kahlil Gibran, on whose work this film is based, was born in Lebanon. While a young teenager, his family immigrated to NewYork City. He attended university in Paris, and eventually returned to the U.S., where he lived the rest of his life. He was never imprisoned, like the poet, Mustafa, in this film.
Salma Hayek studied in Stella Adler Studio of Acting. One of the first exercises in Adler Technique class is to read Khalil Gibran's The Prophet, pick the chapter that touches you the most and talk about it in front of the class tying it to your personal life. It's probably there were she read the book for the first time.
Movie Insider founder Brian D. Renner credited this movie twice.
"Mustafa: I have seen people throw themselves down and worship their own freedom, like slaves before a tyrant. Praising him though he slays them. I have seen the freest among them wear their freedom as a handcuff, and my heart bled within me. For you can only be free when you no longer speak of freedom as a goal. And how can you be free, unless you break the chains you have fastened around yourself? In truth, that which you call freedom is the strongest of these chains, though its links glitter in the sun. Mustafa: And to become free, what would you remove that is not a part of yourself? If it's a tyrant, his throne was built within you. If it's a care you would cast off, that care has been chosen by you. And if it's a fear you would drive away, the root of that fear is in your heart, and not in the hand of the feared. Mustafa: These things move within you, as lights and shadows in constant half-embrace. You'll be free indeed, not when your days are without a care, nor you nights without grief, but rather when these things bind up your life, and yet you rise above them, unbound."
"Mustafa: [giving newlywed advice as an older couple flamenco dances] You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Yes, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Mustafa: Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone, though they quiver with the same music. [a glass is accidentally shattered] Mustafa: Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping, for only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. [now dancing on broken glass] Mustafa: And stand together, yet not too near together, for pillars of the temple stand apart. And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."
