心動 - Tempting Heart

I have almost forgotten about this great chinese movie, one of my favourites of all times, until I watched a chinese documentary film on Sylvia Chang (the scriptwriter, producer and director of this movie) earlier tonight. She also happens to be one of my favourite chinese directors. In fact, I love almost all the movies that she produces.

The story of this movie, 心動 (known as Tempting Heart in english), is about how a pair of young lovers were forced to seperate due to parental objections. They led their seperate lives and had their own marriages but both remained in each other minds for many years. As fate would have it, they bumped into each other again and despite wanting to reunite, several events in life got in their way and they never got back together. In the final scene, the male lead sent a parcel to the female lead. It was box containing many random photographs that he had taken over the years whenever he thought of her. Sounds a little cliche but the story is all about love, pain, life and regrets. A painfully beautiful movie.

Lyrics

有多久沒見你以為你在那裡
原來你就住在我的心底
陪伴著我的呼吸
有多遠的距離以為聞不到你氣息
誰知道你背影這麼長
回頭就看到你

過去讓它過去來不及
從頭喜歡你
白雲纏繞著藍天

如果不能夠永遠走在一起
也至少給我們
懷念的勇氣
擁抱的權利
好讓你明白我心動的痕跡

過去讓它過去 來不及
從頭喜歡你
白雲纏繞著藍天
如果不能夠永遠走在一起
也至少給我們
懷念的勇氣
擁抱的權利
好讓你明白我心動的痕跡

總是想再見你
還試著打探你的消息
原來 你就住在我的身體
守護我的回憶
