The Beauty Dance in "House of flying daggers"

[melisse1123]

The lead female character is so fantastic in this film. Her moves are so spot on. She could take on all the male characters. The progression of female characters of a strong persuasion in Kung Fu moves came really slowly. The documentary "Films of Fury" talks about that. I really enjoyed it. bitly .com/ooGvKw

[MrDiab31]

Живет на Севере такая красота, что нет прекраснее на белом свете.

Один лишь взгляд ее - и гибнут города,

Еще один - и вся страна в смятеньи...

[superman87jk]

Thanks to Miss Ziyi for this! :-)

Please do message or comment me back on which song title this is been trying to find it in comments but it's just full of argument ^^ xia xia ni

[kushira]

excuse me! wat has this video got to do with islam everyone stfu and just watch it God! leave relgion and culture out of this and watch this awesome scene!!! :D

[Graddee]

@kushira Trololololol Agreed, it's a pretty song from Traditional China... nothing to do with Russia, Communism, America or Islam xD

[kushira]

@Graddee D: i thought u called me a trol!! =( lol but yes everyone needs to shut up and chill out! xD

[CharacterofChoice]

This is such a fantastic video, and EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP. Your arguements are irrelevant, and this is just a movie. Chill.

[MsCerealKiller]

The guy is so annoying, SHUT UP

[Johnnyblazedanketch]

Easy now, let's not go crazy over cultural differences. People are people. Power is power. Slavery was world wide. Any culture that lived in riches also had people who were in poverty. There was and always will be "have's" and "have not's". People still take advantage of others and civilization continues in a singular path. I do not admire any civilization that was built on exploiting their own people or destroying another people to settle/expand. It is simply Nature.

[Digatone]

Best movie and best song. Ziyi Zhang is amazing.

[sakurangie1]

i love this song and the movie !!!!

[007rasm]

i hate the ending of these...but i like the movie,,only the ending,,,ugh,,i hate the part when blood flowed out like waterfalls from her chest!

[doublabatteries]

lol it's sort of funny at @01:57 when she does that jiggly thing :)

[SSMTamu]

Zhang Ziyi is the most beautiful asian woman ever to grace the earth!

one of my favourite actress ever! XD



[WeelYoung]

lip sync' for sure

[pmurnin]

People say that 'whites' are the superior race...this tells me different

[theKARSE]

@pmurnin

haha they're kind of white too.. don't you think ?

[APPELHOUSE01]

this is so beautiful <3

[sleepibeauti]

@APPELHOUSE01 i agree. :) exquisite

[killerchipmunkattack]

@Crime1234management I totally didn't understand your comment about doing an internet search history. U definitely can't prove the comments are from the same person, cos it's Not True sheesh.

You're just a racist who likes going on Chinese videos to say nasty things about Chinese. Grow up =p And learn some manners

[Crime1234management]

@killerchipmunkattack

I'm not surprised you don't understand.

Do not try to play the poor inferior Chinese being bullied by a superior who is being racist to you because you are so insignificant and inferior. Blah blah blah.

This film was so shit. David said he wanted to see this film but it wasn't available so I purchased a copy from the Chinese pirate gangs in Whitechapel. When I got home I gave him the film and he began watching and it was so fucking boring. He walked away and just left it playing and I had to switch it off!

[Crime1234management]

Why are most of the posts from the same person with different accounts? This is not history it's a film and they say Indian films are bad. When Britain ruled the world the Chinese were just poverty stricken junkies.

[Crime1234management]

@killerchipmunkattack

Chinese are buying U.S. dollars which are not worth the paper they are printed on think of it as a cartel. There isn't enough paper money in the U.S. or the West to pay off the U.S. debt. China has 58% of U.S. debt. China has no gold reserves it is just relying on U.S. paper money. You are an idiot don't e-mail me again fuck off. P.S. the U.K. has natural resources oil gas gold in business circles it is called treasure island.

[killerchipmunkattack]

@Crime1234management Haha I'll reply to whichever comments I want, u can't tell me what to do. Oh I'm the idiot? You're the idiot. Who puts their address and phone number on youtube anyway?? Only idiots do.

[Crime1234management]

@killerchipmunkattack

You are a bit stupid aren't you. My name and address is because I can. Do you not understand that? it is saying if you want trouble whoever here I am. Do you not understand that? I have added you to my spam list you are blocked you are too stupid.

[killerchipmunkattack]

@Crime1234management Haha well it's not that I CAN'T understand that comment, more like I can't be bothered to expend brain power to do something so completely pointless :)

Ooh you're such a tough guy huh? How does anyone know that's even your real address lol, u probably used some poor stranger's address. If u used your real address, ure stupid lol

[Crime1234management]

@killerchipmunkattack

Are you still posting messages on here you fat bastard. Shouldn't you be writing about trying to get rid of all that fat and about "Man puts 2mo. old Baby in Microwave! Outrage Over Diet Pepsi 'Skinny Can." "girls" is that what you're calling yourself more like a fucking ugly fat bitch.

[killerchipmunkattack]

@Crime1234management U reply to my messages v fast. Do u hang on online waiting for my reply? :) I await your rapid eager response. 笨 猪头 :)

[Crime1234management]

@killerchipmunkattack

"What on earth makes u think most of the posts are from the same person?"

You do a Internet search history on the posters alias you then look at how many channels are being viewed. You then see how many people they have posted to you then join them together total posts total people answered and you come up with the answer.

this movie is so sad, i cried my heart at the end :'(

[Crime1234management]

@Suki278

I was under the impression that the Zionists wanted to take over the world not the Muslims. do they not build synagogues in virtually every country of the world? Do they not create separate societies? Do they not suffer from spiteful characteristics as in the love of provoking arguments?

[jhgs0]

@Crime1234management

are you retarded? i have never head such ridiculous bullcrap and i hear a lot of it. You're contradicting yourself - if what you say is true, then the muslims also want to take over the world, as they build mosques and cultural centers everywhere too. there are also exponentially more muslims than jews. you want to be afraid of world domination? pick a different race - even the chinese are more dangerous than the jews you dumb $!@#ing idiot.

[Crime1234management]

@jhgs0

Don't e-mail me plastic jew. I am not interested in you trying to be creepy and cunning and all the usual nonsense you're no good at it fuck off. 

[theKARSE]

@Suki278

they'll never take over the west ..we want let them.. religion is decreasing .. the atheist are increaing .. one day the muslims will know better .. the chinese might be religious but they're also highly developed, have equals rights for men and women and religion + society is seperated .. like in the west.. on day the muslims will get there too.. it will take time.. but they will get there

[StarSpawn06]

@Suki278

that was the trend 800 years ago. The Chinese Golden Age coincided with the Islamic Golden Age. The two cultures dominated the Old World equally.

And then the Mongols came and messed everything up :/

[deadforsakenn]

@Suki278 No my friend...Your brain is washed and its logical...you are from Canada.

The real truth they might not taught you in school is that : Americans think and want to take over the world..But Russia is much stronger and i don't wanna mention China.

[princeofwinter]

@Suki278

They actually did in the past. With a result of making one of the most beautiful race on Earth. just type this in the internet and find out for yourself ''Uyghur in Xinjiang''

BTW The Muslims were among the first people to visit China because of the Silk Road

[satctiffany]

Zhang Yimou mostra tutta la sua abilità nel cogliere ed enfatizzare il ricco cromatismo della sua terra che si traduce in paesaggi da favola, costumi accattivanti, interni ripresi come fossero palazzi reali. Un gusto estetico così sviluppato che ogni cambiamento di scena nasconde una meraviglia da mozzare il fiato.

[ModernFrench]

She dances as if she was a cloth-piece seller.

[MadHatterAlabaster]

one of the many reasons i love asians

[loserfreak044]

I think she is sooo gorgeous! I love her singing!

[LadyDark000]

I fell in love with this part of the movie...

I don't know why, but it make me cry...

[thefalchion]

Both the actors can sing good =o

[musicman59ful]

Love this movie,zhany ziyi is a great actress...

[Serpin43]

@musicman59ful

This Movie made me fall in love with her! 

[ohxsnaps]

wow her eyes look so blank! well obviously since she's pretending to be a blind person.

[PinkSugarification]

i think that ziyi zhang in the ravishing maiden from north... she is breathtakingly fabolous!!!! her voice is just too beautiful!!! love U, ziyi!!!

[wwlee5]

During the Tang Dynasty, the guitars (pipa) were held horizontally...unfortunately, the director didn't know his musical history lesson.

[serefkana]

Wow, just wow. She is breathtaking, not only her beauty but her voice aswell...

[jeffinous]

Here's a more polished translation

北方有佳人, From the north came a ravishing maiden,

絕世而獨立. Whose beauty stood alone.

一顧傾人城, At a glance at her, cities fall,

再顧傾人國. Once more, empires collapse.

寧不知倾城與倾國, Care not whether cities fall or empires collapse,

佳人難再得. Such beauty never comes around twice.



[ONSLAUGHTxx]

The 17 people that didn't like this must hate their lives and life itself.

[yumiko0017]

this is one of the best scenes ever!!! i learned this song and sung it to my mom and she was like "it's beautiful" i was like it really is.

[BOBandBILLrock]

what is the name of the song?

[yumiko0017]

@BOBandBILLrock i think it's called beauty song by zhang ziyi (the woman in this video).

[GreyGooseVodka555]

@Tycowa15303 fell in love with her instantly!

[MrAlvanPham]

hmm

[xxJxMxCxx]

more than beautiful

[TheCoolProfessor]

There's something about Ang Lee films that are both beautiful and sad and the use of colors reflects both those qualities.

But I wish that plastered idiot would shut up.

[acatisfinetoowut]

Damn. When the Chinese were living in colourful palaces with their rich music, we Britons were living in caves and stone houses.

[undertopsy]

@acatisfinetoowut when God made the world-he made China first!!

[Gleebo]

@acatisfinetoowut Then you got your own by getting them addicted to Opium and ruining their country. High five!

[Crime1234management]

@Gleebo

The opium trade come from India long before the British arrived. When the British did arrive they took opium back to England and used it for babies dummies. The British did not kill millions of Chinese the Chinese did that 无产阶级文化大革命. But then again you are just a cunt. So who cares. Funny how you are using a profile "Canada" beneficiary of the British.

[L7997]

@Crime1234management no. the british refused to stop trading the opium bc the profit was huge. they have their share in the reason why china did face such a crises. opium is addicting. even when the head of china told them to stop, they (the british) did not. so they were forced to take other preventative measures. i may be wrong, u shud look it up, cause i'm sure it was the britsh who colonized india.

so really, who did the trade? the british. dont lie to urself.

[Crime1234management]

@L7997

Stop trying to make up history. The trading in opium was before the British time and after:

Following the Battle of Plassey in 1757, in which Britain annexed Bengal to its empire, the British East India Company pursued a monopoly on production and export of Indian opium. Monopoly began in earnest in 1773, as the British Governor-General of Bengal abolished the opium syndicate at Patna.

[Crime1234management]

@L7997 I was under the impression that it was a Jewish cartel which was selling opium am I wrong? wasn't it David Sassoon, the governor of Baghdad from 1781 to 1817, and leader of the city's Jewish community. Sassoon was in the opium business in Bombay Sino-Indian opium trade and become the richest Jewish man in the world at that time. David Sassoon did not speak English.

[Anubi1989]

there's nothing wrong in stone-made houses... i'm italian, and when chinese people were poor and uncivilized, we had a civil code so much advanced that courrently is very similar at the modern civil codes, we had colosseum, we conquested all europe and growed up authors like Seneca, Virgilio, Pitagora, generals like Giulio Cesare (i think he was much better than Sun Tsu) or Scipione... and yes, they lived in stone-made houses, in cityes like Pompei, Roma etc... so actually i don't envy chinese!

[Crime1234management]

@Anubi1989

Romans not Italians. And it come from the Greeks. Romans were Latins, other Italians, Greeks, Britons, Spaniards, Syrians.

[Anubi1989]

@Crime1234management true Romans were only italians. greeks, britons, syrians etc weren't roman citizens, so they for example were not contemplate in Roman's "ius civile" (see: "legis actiones") etc... only italians were roman citizens. In a second period romans extendet the citizenship at other populations, but only to control them. Anyway, real romans were only the italians... trust me, i studyed "roman law" (i'm an italian law student)

[Crime1234management]

@Anubi1989

I haven't had time to read what you wrote. All advancements come from the Greeks it is were the Romans got their ideas from. I haven't got time to answer any more I'm having a discussion? with a Muslim at the moment.

[elchippe]

@Anubi1989 "I found rome made of brick and left it made of marble" octavius augustus my friend, the stone was marble, romans and greeks like the chinese they also love Luxury, silk and gold my friend.

[theKARSE]

@Anubi1989

yearh that might be.. but look where you are today..!! the mafia running the southern part of italy .. no laws exist .. they have their own rules... and berlusconi ruling italy .. what a joke .. he is destroying the country from within and half of the italians vote for him... it's a joke !! i think you should envy the chinese.. they had/have a pleasent life.. unlike you guys .. i know italians who wont live in italy because of berlusconi and high unemployment

[TheAgent181]

"In the North there's a lady, stunning and singular.

One look confounds a city; a second look dooms an empire.

Rather not wishing to know, the ruination that may follow.

Rare beauty is here and now."
