The return of old lifes

Have you heard when Kathleen Battle sings Lovers (Title Song) by Shigeru Umebayashi, from the movie House of Flying Daggers?

Overall, the tone leans to the reflective, somber side, says one text.
And, sure, all the House of Flying Daggers stands just fine on its own as a luxurious symphonic album of Eastern-style harmonies.

But ....I used to think often my all friends, who have come from the far-east, and now born at here.
Many of them are masters of the orient battles. I think that was wrong to do physical trainin, becouse it also gave back their own old reality from the world, which was cruel place.
Some of them are very successful in the world, but one or two threaten to fall behind the development of humanity - they will continue as in their past lives.

Back to Zhang Yimou’s film House of Flying Daggers (Shí Miàn Mái Fú, 2004)
Sure, although the wuxia films, with their absurd wire-fu action, are mostly seen as escapist fantasies, but Zhang’s preceding epic, Hero - which is set some 2200 years ago during the reign of King Ying Zheng, later Emperor Qin Shi Huang - carried with it an additional social and political undercurrent that actually argued against heroic acts of defiance: it is better to put up with a tyrant than to overthrow him and risk sowing the seeds of disunity.
