Butterfly Lovers as the original Chinese Romeo and Juliet.

This movie brings me back to childhood memories when i got hooked watching cmovies...and learn to watch with english subs eventhough they were so small to read..those days when kdrama isnt known yet..i cried so much on the story and the OST, unforgettable!!! till now i know its a masterpiece from this story...

[@DrinkingStar]

Thanks for leaving the comment. BTW, my eyes get watery during the last several minutes of this movie. It is one of the best movies ever made. PS. I am dyslexic... so reading anything is difficult. As a result, I have to pause movies with subtitles so that I can read them.

[@ocireocire]

Ikr, even i never knew about this story before the one who brought me here was the song itself. Everytime i remember the end of this story makes me cry, i never watched it before, so what am i waiting for? ;')

[@DrinkingStar]

DrinkingStar It appears the only movies I watch now are Japanese, Chinese and Korean. The American made movies made now are pure trash. There is another music video I made entitled ,"The song, "You're Beautiful", by James Blunt with scenes from the movie, "Silk""(kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpSamX1tnK2JoKs). The movie "Silk" is visually very beautiful. Much of it takes place in Japan with the setting being the 1800s. It is a love story between a French man and his French wife and the woman he met and loves in Japan. My music video shows some of the scenes from that movie Thanks for leaving the comment 私が今見ている唯一の映画は日本、中国語、韓国語であるようです。現在作られたアメリカ製の映画は純粋なゴミです。私が作った別のミュージックビデオ、「The Song "You're Beautiful"、ジェームズ・ブラント「シルク」（kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpSamZ1tnM2poMs）のシーンがあります。。映画「シルク」は視覚的にとても美しいです。その多くは日本で行われ、その設定は1800年代です。 それは、フランス人と彼のフランス人の妻と彼が日本で出会って愛している女性との間のラブストーリーです。私のミュージックビデオは、その映画のシーンのいくつかを示しています コメントを残してくれてありがとう

[@NeZ_CooL]

I was still grade 7 when i watched this movie. Yes this is a very good and very sad movie. Nicky wu and charlie yeung were my favorite actor back then.

[@DrinkingStar]

Yes, I agree it is a sad movie. I think Shakespeare heard this story brought back by Marco Polo and created his play, Romeo and Juliet. You might also like my music video of Romeo and Juliet at Seaside Park. I took scenes from Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 movie of "Romeo and Juliet. The movie "Silk" is another movie with a sad ending. That movie was filmed mainly in France and Japan. There are many Chinese, Korean and Japanese movies you will appreciate if you like stories that deal with character development rather than sensationalism. I can give you a like of some of them if you like.

[@TheSingingEater1.0]

Me too! I was at hunan Chang Sha school in China in 7th grade. Learned about Romeo/Juliet in 9th grade

[@ekalayac6]

this story is funny as well as so tragic....the idea on how marco polo probably brought the story and inspired Shakespeare's romeo and juliet is so interesting although the idea of forbidden love or traditional obedience to culture and system is universal.

when I read about Romeo and Juliet back in my high school years, I instantly think about the Butterfly Lovers aka 梁山伯與祝英臺 (Leong Sam Pak Yue Chuk Ying Toi), growing up around Chinese Opera, I know about this story before Shakespere.

@@iyuuko2236 Unfortunately, the 1994 version is no longer available on KZbin. Yes, this and many other non-martial arts movies from Asia are truly amazing in the plot(story line), cinematography,and acting. It rare to find any US movies to be as good as movies from other countries. Butterfly lovers is especially well done and very emotionally tragic. The English Shakespearean version of this movie is Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 movie, "Romeo and Juliet". Unfortunately, this movie is no longer available on KZbin for free. I have also made a video using scenes from that movie. It is entitled, "Romeo and Juliet at Seaside Park". As I was gazing out over the water on a warm sunny afternoon in September I heard this song. As I listened to the words, I envisioned scenes from that movie. So I thought scenes from the movie and what I was seeing would go well together in visualizing the images my mind was creating that day at the seashore.

This a great movie and one of the best love stories ever made. It will make you cry or make your eyes get watery. Also try viewing "Cinema Paradiso"(1988).

梁山伯 與 祝英台 the movie name in chinese

[@DrinkingStar]

Thank you. I love Chinese, Japanese and Korean movies. Your comment caused me to learn more about this movie and therefore a little more about Chinese culture. " The Butterfly Lovers is a Chinese legend centered around the tragic romance between Liang Shanbo (梁山伯) and Zhu Yingtai (祝英臺), whose names form the Chinese title of the story. The title is often abbreviated as Liang Zhu (梁祝). The story was selected as one of China's Four Great Folktales by the "Folklore Movement" in the 1920s-the others being the Legend of the White Snake (Baishezhuan), Lady Meng Jiang, and The Cowherd and the Weaving Maid (Niulang Zhinü)." BTW, my KZbin name is a tribute to Niulang Zhinü. She is my Drinking Star. Niulang Zhinü is the star Vega, which is in Lyre, the music constellation. In August(7th month of the Chinese calendar) Vega ( Niulang Zhinü) is directly overhead. She looks down upon me as I drink some beer in the evening at the beach. To finish my beer, I tilt my head up and I can see Niulang Zhinü shining(= smiling) down on me. On the 7th day of the 7th month, I wish her a Happy Valentine Day. You might also like a number of my other KZbin music videos. Many have the lyrics on the screen in both Mandarin and in English. Please excuse my translations in the videos because I used Google to translate the lyrics. You might also like some of the photos I placed on Flickr. My name on Flickr is knight_of_the_beach. Here is the link to Flickr.....www.flickr.com/photos/8927712@N03/. I used to be on Tencent QQ. I used the international version with my computer. I left because the international version was no longer supported on the computer. I don't use a cell phone except of emergencies and to take videos and photos.

Her saddest movie is "Coming Home". Salma Hayek's ,"Beatriz at Dinner" has a sad ending. Another sad movie is "Silk". It is in English. Its stars are Michael Pitt and Keira Knightley. I made a music video with scenes from that movie. If you like, I can give you a list of other such movies.

Why it has no voice

Thank you for leaving a comment. The dialogue is in Mandarin. The sound of the music concerto creates the feeling and imagery of the dialogue in the various scene in this music video. You should see the movie and, if you do not speak Mandarin, you should listen to the concerto as you watch the movie. I think then you will understand why dialogue was not necessary. P.S..... read the other comments left by others to see what they think.

[@karolinakristofova3051]

Do you know where can I watch it, please?

[@DrinkingStar]

The actual movie title is "The Lovers" (1994). It is also called "The Butterfly Lovers". There were 2 versions on KZbin. One was a version with English subtitles and the other was without subtitles. Unfortunately, neither is available on KZbin. You might be able to find it in which the movie is divided into many smaller files. If you do see the movie, you will be crying or shedding tears at the end of the movie. It is that impactful. In other parts of the movie, you will smile or chuckle. It is said that Casablanca was the greatest love story movie but I think this is better. Bye the way, my mother named me after Bogart's character in the movie, Casablanca. So I am prejudice in favor of Casablanca, but "The Lovers(aka The Butterfly Lovers) and also "Cimema Paradiso"[Director's Cut version] are better as a love story movie compared to Casablanca. I hope I was helpful.

There is a desktop version and a mobile phone version. The desktop version has lost many of it function due to Windows 10 updates. Tencent has not maintained updates on the desktop version.
