Lyrics:

成龙：解开我 最神秘的等待
星星坠落 风在吹动
终於再将你拥入怀中
两颗心在颤抖
相信我 不变的真心千年等待有我承诺
无论经过多少的寒冬
我绝不放手

金喜善：以才那耶少呐儿恰苦努路卡妈又
无礼差浪海斗那又三刚开吧又
无礼脑目差浪海少
啊怕少奶又
少路差浪哈达妈又没太少奶又

成龙：每一夜被心痛穿越
思念永没有终点
早习惯了孤独相随
我微笑面对
相信我 你选择等待
再多痛苦也不愿闪躲
只有你的温柔能解救
无边的冷漠

金喜善：以才那耶少呐儿恰苦努路卡妈又
无礼差浪海斗那又三刚开吧又
无礼脑目差浪海少
啊怕少奶又
少路差浪哈达妈又没太少奶又

合唱：让爱成为你我心中
那永远盛开的花
穿越时空绝不低头 永不放弃的梦

金善喜：无礼脑目差浪海少
啊怕少奶又
少路差浪哈达妈又没太少奶又

合唱：让爱成为你我心中
那永远盛开的花

金善喜：无礼少就海斗那少以才那妈拉又

合唱：唯有真爱追随你我
穿越无尽时空

金善喜：少路差浪哈达妈又没太少奶又

成龙： 爱是心中唯一不变美丽的神话

Translation:

Jackie:

Release me from this mysterious waiting
The stars have fallen and the wind is blowing
Finally I can hold you in my arms
Two hearts beating together
Believe me that my heart is never changing
Thousand years of waiting with my promise
No matter how many cold winters have passed
I'll still never let go your hands

Kim:

Close your eyes and tightly grab my hands
Please recall the past, the days we were in love
We loved each other too much
this is the source of our pain
It is sorrowful that we can't even say "I love you"

Jackie

Each night my heart is pierced by pain
My thought of you has no end
I am used to being alone for such a long time
And I'll face it with a smile
Believing in me, you choose to wait
Even though it's painful, you won't leave
Only your gentleness can save me from the endless cold.

Kim:

Close your eyes and tightly grab my hands
Please recall the past, the days we were in love
We loved each other too much
this is the source of our pain
It is sorrowful that we can't even say "I love you"

Jackie:

Let the love that is in our hearts
Become that ever-blossoming flower
We should never ever forget the promises we had

Kim:

We loved each other too much
this is the source of our pain
It is sorrowful that we can't even say "I love you"

Jackie:

Let the love that is in our hearts
Become that ever-blossoming flower

Kim:

Together we travel through endless space and time

Jackie:

Only true love follows you and me
Traveling through endless space and time

Kim:

It is sorrowful that we can't even say "I love you"

Jackie:

The love we have in our hearts is the only never-changing myth

Talking about Jackie

I just recently (at long long last) got a copy of the double DVD of The Myth and have been feasting on all the extras the last few days.

I just had to share this quote with you.

Choi Min Soo (The Korean General) speaking about Jackie:

Looking in his eyes is like watching birds fly

Rob-B-Hood

 

I am slowly forming the opinion that Rob-B-Hood is one of the best movies Jackie has made in recent years - and just maybe one of the best period.

Yes I know Miracles, Drunken Master 1 & 2, and a few others have to head any list of Jackie's best and in more recent years I have really liked The Myth and New Police Story but watching Rob-B-Hood last night again made me think about the film.

Rob-B-Hood may not have THE BEST action or THE BEST story or THE BEST comedy or THE BEST filmed or THE BEST choreography but it is good in ALL those things. The script hasn't got any really blatent flaws (as sadly many of Jackie's scripts do). It has a beginning, a middle and an end. The characters are well developed full characters and more importantly sympathetic characters. You even feel for the bad guys - which only happens with a good script.

As all good drama's do the story focuses around an event and how that event impacts the people it touches.  I know Rob-B-Hood is billed as an comedy but in reality as you watch the film - yes it is very funny and I just about roll on the floor laughing at some of the scenes  - underneath it presents itself as a drama. Here are an assorted collection of people, 3 petty thieves, a triad boss, his insane son, his ex-girfriend, a nurse, and their assorted families who have absolutely nothing in common except the baby. The baby is both the cause of drawing of them all into each others lives and the cause of the changes that impact them all - mostly in positive ways.

It is in the end a movie about the power of love. All the baby asks from each person is that they care. The baby in it's helpless baby way is a silent and powerless voice in the film that nonetheless speaks the loudest about love. It says "Love me", "Care for me", "Protect me" and how each character reacts to those demands and how they try (or not in a few cases) to meet those demands produces the life altering changes in them.

But to get back to why I think this is a good movie. Firstly as I said the script while not flawless is very complete and satisfying. The characters are well developed and sympathetic and also undergo a transformation that is understandable, natural and well explained both forwards as events unfold and backwards as we discover their history (which is well conveyed through a few key scenes. Oh I can't resist the comparison. The subtlety and depth with which the history of the main players in RBH is conveyed through just a few scenes have to be compared with that awful long boring and unnecessary scene explaining Golden Sparrow's history in TFK. The scenes giving the back story in RBH flow naturally as part of the movie, do not jar and add depth and powerful emotion to the characters). The two montage sequences giving the history of the main characters' crimes and spending habits are brilliant. The music matches the clips well, and the clips are both funny and informative. In just a few flashes you know all you need to know about each character's behaviour/lifestyle at the start of the film. 

The action sequences also follow naturally as part of the story - sorry Jackie but sometimes they feel a little too contrived - sort of like "it's been 5 minutes so we have to have another action sequence now". First Strike is one movie that comes to mind as an example of having that slightly forced feeling to some of the action, and Who Am I? 

Once again there are those incredible moments when you just have to say "HOW DID HE DO THAT?" like for example when Jackie gets in the back of the Mitsubishi to follow the run-away baby through the traffic. It is one of those small moments that aren't even a big deal onscreen but if you watch how he just bonelessly flows in the back hatch and over the seats you have to gasp in admiration. (One day I will do a list of my favourite such moments)

The whole movie feels like Jackie choreographed it as flawlessly as he choreographs his stunts. There is a perfect blend between highs and lows, between tension and relief, between drama and humour, between action and story telling. It carries you along with it seamlessly from beginning to end and when you get to the end you are sorry to see the people go. All in all a highly satisfying movie to watch - and that makes it, in my eyes, not just a good movie but one of Jackie's best movies. 

Jackie's TV version of "The Myth"

Jackie's TV version of The Myth has finished filming the archaelogical excavations scenes and returned to Beijing to film a motorcycle chase scene, incorporating well known sites in Beijing - namely the Bird's Nest Stadium and the Watercube.

I have been following the reports on this production here and there and it really looks like it is shaping up  to an amazing TV production. Pity it probably won't get to be dubbed/subtitled and released on DVD version ... or can we hope?
