oh by the way, am going to catch Butterfly Lovers at the cine tonight.
"this is the latest adaptation of the famous 17th century Chinese love story. Legend has it that once there was a golden couple living in the celestial sky who committed one of the gravest mistakes and was sent to live in the mortal world below. As their punishment, they were to fall in love madly with each other over ten lifetimes, only to end in disaster every time."
of course, according to actual chinese history, the couple indeed existed BUT the part about them being celestial is just part of this movie. in actuality, they were just a pair of tragic, star-crossed lovers. in fact, they are the Romeo & Juliet of china.
the music score for the original version of the movie remains as one of the most recognizable chinese scores. and of course, being a chinese history and legends lover, i've got to watch the movie.
