  • @kangzhuang LOL

  • Is this a real type of Chinese theater? I like it a lot.

  • What is call this song? please

  • This is Yue's people song of Chu kingdom. It is likely to be a folk song of some pre-Sinicized ethnic people in Yangtze river area during the Warring States period.

    今夕何夕兮,搴舟中流

    今日何日兮,得与王子同舟

    蒙羞被好兮,不訾诟耻

    心几烦而不绝兮,得知王子

    山有木兮木有枝 ,心悦君兮君不知

    In this scene, the song is sung in Mandarin, a language which modern form had not appeared more than a thousand year later.

  • Fabulous costumes, the music, Daniel Wu, Zhang Ziyi.....a dream come true...

  • @knightofsx33 The Banquet is actually an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet". I really love the artistry of this movie.

  • well, House of Flying Daggers and The Banquet is talk about two different dynasty in China, so it has different aesthetics background.

  • er the chinese invented that?
