The Sorcerer and the White Snake
Sunday, October 9, 2011 / 2:33 AM Just came back from watching 白蛇传说之法海 also known The Sorcerer and the White Snake. Synopsis According to legend, there lived a horde of goblins and monsters in the depths of the primeval forest. Among these evil spirits were two snakes, one white and one green, loitering in the mountains, leading a carefree life. One day, a young herbalist Xu Xian (Raymond Lam) came to the mountains and accidentally fell into a lake. White Snake (Eva Huang), in the incarnation of a beautiful lady, the form she acquired after a thousand years of practice and cultivation, came to his rescue. White Snake’s passion for this young man could not be contained, and with the help of Green Snake (Charlene Choi), she ventured into the human world and got married to Xu Xian. Not long after their marriage, a strange disease started plaguing their town. As a physician, Xu Xian was very anxious. In order to help her husband, White Snake was willing to use up most of her supernatural power to concoct medicine for the disease, undermining her body and her vital energy. Fa Hai (Jet Li), a sorcerer from Jinshan Temple, whose mission was to travel the world to subdue demons and slay monsters, arrived in time to save the town from the plague. But at the same time, from the medicine provided by Xu Xian, the sorcerer detected a touch of evil. Then came Dragon Boat Festival when Chinese families drink wine to drive away evil spirits. In celebration, Xu Xian made White Snake drink some wine, and she immediately turned into a big white snake. Meanwhile Fa Hai came to the house in order to subdue White Snake. In confusion, Xu Xian used the sacred sword given to him by Fa Hai and wounded the large white python. White Snake escaped with serious injury. Xu Xian was grief-stricken and tried to make remedy by risking his life to obtain a potent medicinal herb for his wife. Xu Xian got the herb but during the course was possessed by demons. In order to save him, Fa hai kept him in Jinshan Temple. After taking the herbal dose, White Snake regained her strength and power and rushed to Jinshan Temple for her husband. She was overcome with rage after the failure to enter the Temple. In extreme frenzy, she summoned up a flood over the Temple causing a catastrophe. (Source) . . . I quite like the movie, it's romance but with a sad ending between a demon and a human. Sad to say I was tearing up in the cinema, I can be quite emotional sometimes. Haha, don't judge me! . . Got kinda hooked onto the theme song called 《许诺》 Promise it's a duet sang by 林峰 & 黄圣依. 等待緣份需要千百年 愛一個人就在一瞬間 對你迷戀是一場冒險 我心甘情願在紅塵擱淺 你的嘆息撥動我的心弦 為你受苦眼淚都是甜 人世間滄海變桑田 我的心 不會變 只要你 再出現 為你而活是我的許諾 失去你還怕失去什麼 只要快樂 愛就沒有錯 歲月的枷鎖比我們脆弱 你的黑髮撥動我的心弦 想念你瞳孔的深淺 為你受苦眼淚都是甜 愛默默感動天地間 一年又一年 我的心 你的心 不會變 不能變 只要你 為了你 再出現 再出現 為你而活是我的許諾 失去你還怕失去什麼 只要快樂 愛就沒有錯 歲月的枷鎖 比我們脆弱 為你而活是我的許諾 生生世世的承諾 失去你還怕失去什麼 為了你快樂受折磨 愛就沒有錯 歲月的枷鎖 比我們脆弱 請在來生等我 Labels: lyrics, movie, song, synopsis |
