[sluttymanatee]

Damnn Takeshi is really damn fineee haha.

[Soulfree2008]

the Japanese man was the obnoxious one in a movie filled with Chinese people XP ...

[cellestiall]

@Soulfree2008 haha i know what u're saying, but he's actually half chinese.

[Soulfree2008]

@cellestiall I thought he was half Taiwanese half Japanese... O_0

[cellestiall]

@Soulfree2008 dude.... Taiwanese/chinese. same same. Taiwanese are still ethinically chinese. and speaks chinese dialects, fine if you wanna get technical, but I was referring to his ethinicity not nationality.

[Soulfree2008]

@cellestiall well, Im certainly pleased we got that all cleared up ;)

[KawaHato]

[hollisterluver1308]

such a seductive dance

[XD1991abraham]

encuentro excelente esta canción, cuando vi la película en mi casa, repetia una y otra ves esta parte, porque me hipnotizaba el baila de ella y me relajaba mucho la música!

[Leoprdgrl13]

just the fact that he is sooooo drunk and lip synching the words along with her, RREEAALLYY distracted me.......but great song tho! :)

[Belladonna300]

OwO, the thing she do in the end, that is skillful and Zhang Ziyi have done it in the snow dance in Memoiars of a geisha before, and in this movie. If you watch her movies, she must have done it many times over but it never gets old.

[romerovan21]

[surferdudette19]

ROFL your description made me crack up

[aknowles19]

[kittygopounce]

@ashleystarfun No, it's Chinese :)

[zilanhu]

[MsHamsterlover1234]

[GhibliOriginals]

"bei fang you jia ren

jue shi er du li

yi gu qing ren cheng

zai gu qing ren guo

ning bu zhi

qing cheng yu qing guo

jia ren nan zai de"

: )

[Solitude805]

"Jia Ren Qu WITHOUT drunk guy's singing voice, he really ruined it the song in the original version. In this vid his voice was edited out :)"

that drunk guy's singing voice belongs to TAKESHI KANESHIRO, you should've mention that. also known as Jincheng Wu. A great actor as well as ZiYi Zhang. :D

[GhibliOriginals]

i HATE the morons who dubbed this song in french in my country it's horrible

Better watch it in vost

[GuitarsOfArp]

@GhibliOriginals I keep wondering why the officials in countries like France, Italy, Spain and Germany are so obsessed with dubbing everything from movies to tv shows. I feel that the system we use in sweden is a lot better i.e. subtitles!!! I couldn't bear having to watch ex. Simpons in swedish! (it's worse enough hearing it in german during vacation) I Feel with you!!!

[GhibliOriginals]

@GuitarsOfArp It depends of the quality of the dubbers. Asian films are often dubbed bad in my country (the Samurai Champloo anime for instance: the french voices were completely changing the personnalities of the characters)

But the Simpsons show had such great voices in french -as Matt Groening himself admitted- that when one of the main dubbers died some years ago, many characters he did lost their "soul" (Burns and Krusty, mainly)

It's only a matter of chance to have nice dubs : (

[hambone032487]

This film has everything I always wanted great story great characters and beautiful music that stay's close to my heart

[Lpmgato1]

Great song, great dancer, beautiful, talented actress, Ziyi Zhang.........love this movie, music...........and admire her greatly....she's incredible..

[Ono42012]

so this song is called beauty song?

[0oFullMoono0]

@Ono42012 -Nod-

[david12345678901dave]

@AlexandreaClark15 I never knew Asian was a language 笨马子

[Karminapie]

I remember watching this movie like 4 years ago! How i found this..? Well my favorite Korean female band is F(X) and my favorite member is Victoria Song aka Song Qian. Then Ziyi Zhang and Victoria have a connection because they both graduated from Beijing Dance Academy. I can't believe their alumni's! Now that i found this, this is going to be my all-time favorite Chinese movie.

[lunalitbeams121]

god i wanna punch that guy in the face

[197224dfb]

This song is indeed beautiful, just like Ziyi Zhang. I mean, seriously, look at how beautiful she is. God, I love asian women. I am a white male and I think asian women are the most beautiful women in the world. Asian women have an exotic beauty that the women of the western world just don't have.

[liltwistedgirl]

@197224dfb What if you met an asian woman who was over weight? Would you still think they are beautiful? :/ I gotten a lot the "disappointing" Looks because I'm not skinny.

[197224dfb]

@liltwistedgirl Hi, First of all, if a woman is beautiful, she is beautiful regardless of how heavy she is. Weight has no bearing on how I feel about a woman. I admire women of all shapes and sizes including women who are considered "overweight." I just prefer asian women because they have an exotic beauty that the women of the western world just don't have. If you have gotten a lot of "dissapointing" looks from men because of your size, then you are better off without them.

[197224dfb]

@liltwistedgirl Hi again, I just wanted to say something else- looks are just one part of what makes a woman attractive. Always remember that beauty also comes from within. If you carry yourself in a positive manner then that is attractive and personality has a lot to do with it. I admire women with a gentle graceful personality which most of the asian women seem to possess. Thanks for writing and take care-- Dave

[AlexandreaClark15]

I LOVE THIS SONG I KNO EVERY WORD IN ASIAN AND ENGLISH

[KayWildcat]

@AlexandreaClark15 ? I HIGHLY doubt it

[Naruto4479]

asians are so graceful

[turokthewolf818]

amazing song, amazing dance, amazing friggen movie

[lindagirll]

[PrinceJrJoe]

THIS is beautiful :'( i love this so much i have listened to it 25 times in a row now i love it that much x <3

[kleezyubeezy]

[SSMTamu]

P.S. I'm only 19 atm haha n_n

[SpaceCowboyEd]

北方有佳人，絕世而獨立。

一顧傾人城，再顧傾人國。

寧不知傾城與傾國。

佳人難再得。

[Maestro2500]

1:04

Can anyone tell me what that instrument is that is entering?

It has such a beautiful sound.

[joua7yaj]

@Maestro2500 the instrument is called a "Erhu". The sound it makes is so beautiful!!! One day I am going to learn how to play one...

[demover7]

@Maestro2500 its called an Erhu, also knows as the Chinese fiddle/violin.

[fortuitousnisa]

@Maestro2500 I believe its a Pipa. I could be wrong though.

[Maestro2500]

@fortuitousnisa It's called an Erhu, the answer has been graciously provided to me by several other viewers. Thank you for your input, though.

[BeeWilla4]

chinese women are like beautiful dolls x

[marcomateful]

yo, beatifull song, i really desagree about the male voice, he is drunk but he is not out oftune or doing a bad performance,i think they offer a nice voice ensemble. thanks to share.

[MuziKFr3aK01]

lovely song from Northern China...'

[chi81216]

is that sayuri from memoirs of a geisha??

[Anonymous738]

@chi81216 Its a Chinese movie, so definitely not.

[ambivyful]

@Anonymous738 Actually Mei is the same actress who played Sayuri in "Memoirs of a Geisha"- Zhang Ziyi (章子怡). Even though she's Chinese, she played a Japanese geisha in "Memoirs of a Geisha". The fact that she and a couple other actress who were cast in the roles as prominent geishas in the film were actually Chinese generated a lot of controversy.

[HeatherKitty123]

@chi81216 yup

[eschica108]

@chi81216 Yess!



[lovinglifelovinghim]

♥ this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!

so beautiful :D

[APPELHOUSE01]

omg,. this is just so beautiful and so inspirational <3<3!!

[wanoslogos]

ty for adding the lyrics here, this is beautiful expression of creativity

these type of movie are among my favorite genre of all-time,

and just finally seeing HFD tonite, I think it is gonna become amongst one of my favorites of the genre

still love "spring, summer, fall, winter, and spring" the best though

peace

[siliconsurf]

house of flying pussies

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

@siliconsurf you're a flying pussy, pussy chicken shit.

[siliconsurf]

@TheTruthHurtsYup You still haven' shown up, you fucking cunt. Buy some balls, you yellow scrotum.

[ATEAMF0RUM]

Takeshi is so fine looking !!! Nadech is good looking as well -- these two can be bros for sure!!! thanks na. Ceci

[2wingo]

Is this Mandarin, or Cantonese?

[misseting]

@2wingo

Mandarin

[bubblestars19]

what instrument is it in the backgroud

[dickie2750]

@bubblestars19

It's called the Erhu or "Chinese violin" it has 2 strings and is has no fret board like a western violin.

also has a small sound body like a mini banjo with a resonator..

[Ajani2000]

i beg to differ LiveBeat713..... i think it adds somewhat kinda like hearing the somewhat 'harmony'

[LiveBeat713]

Thank you for editing this video, the song really is so beautiful without his drunken singing.

[caoshiqi]

@LiveBeat713 hahaha that's funny^^

[angeleyeskisses]

ok i am american and i FUCKING LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!! :DDD i even made a vid of me singing it on fb :) i raped the replay button i swear!!!

[gothicphey]

@angeleyeskisses I'm american too! I'm african-america. Is that strange or something? I'm sure a lot of americans are watching this right now. LOLZ...

[amazingdany]

I would love to see that style auditioned at So You Think You Can Dance.

[o3oBARTo3o]

@amazingdany I dont think Americans would like such a "communist" dance xD

[Kalaun83]

@o3oBARTo3o Don't pretend to know all americans. I happen to think this dance is beautiful and enticing. I am a woman but still my husband thinks it's beautiful as well. We all get down to the goods once the dancing is finished. This is just a more elegant and romantic way. Love it!

[o3oBARTo3o]

@Kalaun83 dude Im from asia, I KNOW this dance is epic.

[markkSJ]

@o3oBARTo3o You got a warped mind if you are a Yankee or a Southern Rebel. What has communism got to do with this dance? You're just being an ignorant, bigoted fool. 

[o3oBARTo3o]

@markkSJ Sorry, I have no idea what those mean. If you noticed I have these " " quoted for Communism. Don't take unserious jokes so seriously, it's like you have a pole stuck up your rectum.

[markkSJ]

@o3oBARTo3o At least now I know you are what you are - an incorrigible asshole.

[o3oBARTo3o]

@markkSJ Why's you replying? This is like one year old comment.

[guessangeful]

hen hao de song

[LittleMadPyro]

@queenkoopa24

Same here :)

[Terryfan]

The song is very beauty. Zhang Ziyi is also amazing

[luckyclover34]

I love this movie, this song, and her acting.

[yonemitsu1]

@luckyclover34

me too!

[MyRomeoAddiction]

what kind of dance is this? its very beautiful and its caught my interests. :)

[bray8074]

amei "キレイビデオ"

[bray8074]

amei

[xxxkimododragonxxx]

I actually love listening to (and trying to sing this song) Mandarin Chinese and could listen to it all day

[Graddee]

For all the people who say mandarin/chinese is an ugly sounding language, they should listen to this song then judge

[LittleMadPyro]

@Graddee

I honestly still think that Mandarin is not very pleasant to the ears. It sounds rather chopped off and primal, so I prefer other Asian languages.

[9440454]

@LittleMadPyro

[RSVPixie]

I absolutely love this movie. I would say it is definitely one of my all-time favourites. This song just takes me away every time I hear it. It's sad and beautiful and that dress... well I am going to make it for my friend. I just love everything about it.

[Juice4Productions]

her voice is beautiful it gives me goosebumps!

[JudyHan1]

She's sings a famous antient Chinese poem: 《佳人歌》 汉 李延年 北方有佳人，绝世而独立。 一顾倾人城，再顾倾人国。 宁不知倾城与倾国， 佳人难再得。 Beauty Song LI Yan Nian, Han Dynasty(BC207-AC9) A rare beauty in the north, she's the finest lady on earth. A glance from her, the whole city falls; a second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins. I 'd rather never care about the cites and nations, for there is no other chance to draw her attention again.）

[TrillianS8]

Was that really her singing? If so, she has a very beautiful voice. :)

[oneviwatara]

Shang Ziyi should have been given an Oscar for her amazing acting in this movie.

[Juice4Productions]

This is such a beautiful scene. Completely hypnotic and transfixing. And I've never seen this movie, but i MUST now.

[Mscookiegirl1x1]

An extraordinary beauty in the North...

The most beautiful being of the world

From her first glance the city bows before her

From her second glance the empire falls into ruins

But there aren't such an empire or a city

what we can laud more than this beauty

[ModernFrench]

@Mscookiegirl1x1

Please, someone send me the name of this song - and the lyrics on pin yin for me to sing it.

I really wanna learn how to sing (correctly) this piece of music!

[ambivyful]

@ModernFrench

Title: Jiārén qū

[Mscookiegirl1x1]

replayed this song over and over and over and over and over.....i found out what it meant in english..and it is just beautiful

[ElfHybrid]

five people clicked the wrong button being distracted by the beauty .

[FlypaperGirl]

what is that red mark?

[BonaDun]

我記得

[sansacide]

I loved this scene so beautiful.

[tlaalsrud204]

House Of Flying Daggers a.k.a. Lovers. this is one of my favorite movies of all time. this consists of great combination of Chinese martial art and beautiful love story. such a great movie. anyone who does not see MUST check it out. it is more than worth it.

[MerZuly]

Yeah unexpectedly now that I don't hear his drunken singing it feels like something's missing. Sure it's great to be able to hear it and appeciate the beauty of this song like this but actually he completes this scene. I don't know why.

[QuoGirl]

@MerZuly I totally agree. Somehow hearing the drunken guy's singing makes it sound more solid. Strange as it may sound, his drunken singing complements her ethereal sound lol To me, it works well in the original. I can see why they made him sing along.

[forbidden24]

I have watched this movie probably over 20 times, if not, more. This is the part I look forward to the most!

[ThowHilton]

我他妈的她绞尽脑汁.

[DIEnVAIN]

That "drunk pig's" name is Takeshi Kaneshiro. ^o^

[ElfHybrid]

@DIEnVAIN and he's hottt

[lorethiede]

the girl is really nice ..the guy is a pig...no class

[pixxiesarebetter]

@lorethiede not true watch the whole movie

[Chia1432]

I love this version because I could hear clearly every instruments!

[vixendreamer]

@Chia1432 i know; i wish i coul play the ehru. that's my favorite asian musical instrument

[Etain2012]

@maria7885 The Chinese title is Jia Ren Qu. It translates to Beauty Song. I think it is based off an ancient Chinese poem.

[cHoKoLatPYE]

one of my favirote songs.

[princessangelmeek]

I had never felt more amazing then when I watched this movie.

She is an angel.

[MagusWampyr]

Amo esta película...

[3001diksha]

I couldnt understand a single word, but i didnt have to...it was mesmorising. I luv this song...
