Spike Lee Highlights Untold Stories of 9/11 in His Docu-Series ‘NYC Epicenters: 9/11 – 2021½
斯派克·李（Spike Lee）穿着一件红色的FDNY衬衫和相配的帽子，回想起他对世界贸易中心最早的记忆：“我的第一件事是1993年的轰炸。”跳动后，他回去了。 “他们正在射击'金刚'，每日新闻中有一个广告。他们需要最后一幕，我在那里。” Lee出现在Dino de Laurentiis制作的1976年电影中，是看到Kong从Towers跌落在地面上的5,000次演出中。恐怖袭击使双子塔降低了数千人。世界贸易中心攻击。 （他不喜欢使用“周年纪念日”一词。）这项工作是对城市的韧性及其在悲剧发生后反弹的能力的致敬或冠状病毒大流行。纪录片系列是李对世界上最伟大的城市的证明。他自豪地说：“我是纽约讲故事的人。”他指出，他的艺术表现出了他所知的真相。 “没有秘密的酱汁。但是，在八月下旬，有些事情是通过他的眼睛看到的，但最终并没有在最后一集中看到一些事情：他与阴谋成员进行了采访9/11真相的团体建筑师和工程师，他们臭名昭著地说明了喷气燃料不会融化钢的想法。 （专家说，钢铁不需要融化 - 仅弯曲足以使大型建筑物的结构完整性失败。关于他如何不购买9/11发生的事情的官方解释，他受到了严重的反弹。这促使他回到E引室并从电影中切断了阴谋理论材料的30分钟部分。 HBO发言人证实，“所有有关塔楼倒塌的交流和理论都已被删除”。在该系列赛中，李在袭击发生的早晨报道了他的位置。当时，纽约本地人在洛杉矶开展业务，并与阿诺德·施瓦辛格（Arnold Schwarzenegger）举行了一次会议，试图说服他在与布德·舒尔伯格（Budd Schulberg）共同写的剧本中扮演主角，“拯救我们，乔·路易斯（Joe Louis），乔·路易斯（Joe Louis） 。”李的妻子托尼亚·刘易斯·李（Tonya Lewis Lee）打电话告诉他打开电视。因为很明显，美国在围困，纽约关闭了，李被滞留了。他急忙前往联合车站，恳求火车经理坐下，但一切都被带走了。李最终在从洛杉矶到芝加哥的火车上与铂尔曼搬运工分享了四分之一，最终从那里飞往纽约与家人团聚。他也服务作为采访者，收集了200多名证人，包括急救人员，记者，空中管理者和政客，以提供该市力量的口述历史。导演看着好与坏 - 在后一种情况下，唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump。五。李将称特朗普仅为“特工橙”。 “这是一个一开始的坏人；李说：“这不仅发生在他到达白宫时。” “当兄弟俩无罪释放时，他仍然说他们有罪。”该系列的编辑过程很复杂。 “这是一部活着的纪录片，我们正在实时做这件事，并且事情正在发生。当狗屎跳下来时，我们就在上面。”李说。甚至州长安德鲁·库莫（Andrew Cuomo）的辞职也使它成为了混合。李说：“发生这种情况时，我们几乎完成了。” “有一点当纪录片必须被锁定时，但是如果发生了什么事，我们就把它放进去了。回到9/11。 “这对我来说很有意义，”李说。 “最后一集将于9月11日播出。为什么要以库维德结束？这就是那样简单。承认这个故事最初是两个小时的，但它激怒了四个，最终八个小时。布朗的最大挑战是弄清楚如何将它们整合在一起。“ Spike总是想做不寻常的事情，带您去异常的地方，”布朗说。 “那些不寻常的地方表明妇女在9/11之前20年进入消防部门的行列。那是没人谈论的。他还想谈论黑人消防员Associati在纽约，他想谈论曼联[航空公司]在船员中有有色人种。”他补充说。 “这就是Spike的想法。” Lee确定了各行各业的人来讲述此类故事，因为他知道这些帐户是被历史上被忽视和写出的帐户。 “我知道我们发现了个性与我们不知道的故事之间的平衡。他们不是出名的，但他们是英勇的，他们有最好的故事要讲。”李说，他在创建该系列的过程中发现了他以前从未听说过的信息。这样的项目是在世界贸易中心袭击事件发生后，立即乘船逃离曼哈顿的500,000个埃及，这是美国历史上最大的海上疏散，类似于敦刻尔克（Dunkirk）在第二次世界大战中的迪纳摩行动。关于双子塔的故事，虽然许多人可能知道菲利普·佩蒂特（Philippe Petit）的绳索步行，这要归功于2008年奥斯卡获奖纪录片“ Man on Wire”，但Lee与布朗克斯本地人欧文·奎因（Owen Quinn）的故事，他于1975年7月22日在其中一座塔中跳伞。还有更多其他证人的故事。另外两个小时的镜头，也许更多的镜头没有进入“纽约市中心”。至于那些想要更多系列的人，李承诺这些声音将包含在蓝光版本中。“这将是另一个挤满了两个小时的果酱。如果您知道算术，那就是10个小时。”他的商标笑着说。
Dressed in a red FDNY shirt and matching cap, Spike Lee recalls over Zoom his earliest memory of the World Trade Center: “My first thing was the bombing in 1993.” After a beat, he goes back further. “They were shooting ‘King Kong,’ and there was an ad in the Daily News. They needed extras for the final scene and I was there.” Lee appears in the Dino de Laurentiis-produced 1976 film as one of the 5,000 extras who see Kong fall to the ground from the towers.
Decades later, the director would shoot a documentary with his own vivid memories of the fateful day in 2001 when a terrorist attack brought down the twin towers, killing thousands.
The finale of Lee’s new four-part documentary series for HBO, “NYC Epicenters: 9/11 – 2021 1⁄2,” will air on Sept. 11, the 20-year remembrance of the World Trade Center attacks. (He doesn’t like to use the word “anniversary.”) The work is a tribute to the city’s resilience and its ability to bounce back in the aftermath of tragedy, whether by terrorism or the coronavirus pandemic. The docu-series is Lee’s testimonial to the greatest city in the world. “I’m a New York storyteller,” he says with pride, pointing out that his art shows the truth as he knows it. “There’s no secret sauce. Everything I do is seen through my eyes, for good, bad or indifferent.”
But in late August, some things were seen through his eyes but ultimately didn’t make the cut in the final episode: interviews he had with members of the conspiracy group Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, who notoriously perpetuate the idea that jet fuel doesn’t melt steel. (Experts say the steel didn’t need to melt — only bend enough for the structural integrity of the massive building to fail.)
After the episode was released to the media in advance of its airing, and Lee made controversial comments to The New York Times about how he doesn’t buy official explanations of what happened on 9/11, he received serious backlash. That prompted him to go back to the editing room and cut the 30-minute segment of the conspiracy-theory material from the film. “All the exchange and theories about how the towers collapsed” have been removed, an HBO spokesperson confirmed.
In the series, Lee recounts where he was on the morning of the attack. At the time, the New York native was in Los Angeles for business and had set up a meeting with Arnold Schwarzenegger to try to convince him to play the lead in a script he had co-written with Budd Schulberg, “Save Us, Joe Louis.” Lee’s wife, Tonya Lewis Lee, called to tell him to turn on the TV.
As it became apparent that America was under siege and New York had shut down, Lee was stranded. He hurried down to Union Station, pleading with the train manager for a seat, but everything was taken. Lee ended up sharing quarters with the Pullman porters on a train from L.A. to Chicago, eventually flying from there to New York to reunite with his family.
Lee appears in the four-part series, sharing his story. He also serves as interviewer, gathering more than 200 witnesses, including first responders, journalists, air stewards and politicians to provide an oral history of the city’s strength. The director looks at the good and the bad — in the latter instance, Donald Trump.
The second episode detours to Trump reminding viewers of how the former New Yorker and president once called for the death penalty to be reinstated and the execution of the Central Park Five. Lee will call Trump only “Agent Orange.” “This was a bad guy from the get-go; it didn’t just happen when he got to the White House,” Lee says. “When the brothers got acquitted, he still said they were guilty.”
The editing process for the series was complicated. “This was a living documentary, and we were doing this in real time, and stuff was happening. When shit jumped off, we were on it,” says Lee. Even Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s resignation makes it into the mix. “We were almost done when that happened,” Lee says. “There came a point when the documentary had to be locked, but if something happened, we put it in.”
It was Lee’s frequent collaborator and editor, Barry Alexander Brown, who cracked the editorial structure on “NYC Epicenters,” which starts with the present day and weaves back to 9/11. “That made sense to me,” Lee says. “The last episode airs on Sept. 11. Why end with COVID? It’s as simple as that.”
Brown, who has worked with Lee on “Do the Right Thing,” “Malcolm X,” “Crooklyn,” “He Got Game,” “25th Hour” and “Inside Man,” among others, admits the story was initially going to be two hours, but it ballooned to four and eventually eight. Brown’s biggest challenge was figuring out how to weave it all together.
“Spike is always going to want to do unusual things and take you to unusual places,” Brown says. “Those unusual places were showing women coming into the ranks of the fire department 20 years before 9/11. That’s something nobody talks about. He also wanted to talk about the Black firefighters association in New York, and he wanted to talk about United having people of color in their crew,” he adds. “That’s how Spike’s mind works.”
Lee identified people from all walks of life to tell such stories, because he is aware these accounts are the ones that get overlooked and written out of history. “I know we found the balance between personalities and the stories we don’t know. They’re not famous, but they’re heroic and they have the best stories to tell,” says Lee, who discovered information he had never heard before during the process of creating the series. One such item was the exodus of 500,000 New Yorkers fleeing Manhattan by boat immediately following the attacks on the World Trade Center, the biggest maritime evacuation in U.S history — similar to Dunkirk’s Operation Dynamo in World War II. And concerning stories of the twin towers in general, while many may know of Philippe Petit's tightrope walk thanks to the 2008 Oscar-winning documentary “Man on Wire,”
Lee relates the tale of Bronx native Owen Quinn, who parachuted off one of the towers on July 22, 1975.
There are plenty more untold stories from other witnesses. Another two hours of footage, maybe more, didn’t make it into “NYC Epicenters.” As for those who want more of the series, Lee promises those voices will be included in the Blu-ray version. “It will be another jam-packed two hours. That’s 10 hours in all if you know arithmetic,” he says with his trademark laugh.
