A Chinese Ghost Story - Music Video / The Lovers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2018
- In 1991, I saw my first Hong Kong action film, A Chinese Ghost Story, and it changed my outlook on movies forever. Once the tape went into my VHS player, it didn't come out for more than a month, launching a love affair with Hong Kong cinema that survives to this day.
This is a music video that I cut together to honor the story of the two doomed lovers, using the opening theme, sung by the late Leslie Cheung.
It probably helps if you have seen the movie, but either way, I hope you enjoy - - Фільми й анімація

In my top of all time classics.
Love this movie. It is the first Chinese ghost that I watched when my family migrated to the West. At that time, I think, I fell in love with the main Chinese ghost. Fast forward to 2023, and hearing the music still brings back old memories.
You'll have to take a number... we ALL fell in love with Miss Wong - on first sight! Welcome to the club, friend -
Watched this as a kid in the 80s and repeatedly in the 90s. Hong Kong movies are huge in Singapore. This is an all-time timeless classic. Joey Wong is also timeless. RIP Leslie, you'll always be remembered.
Similar story but in Italy! Not only this movie is timeless but it also transcends cultural and geographical boundaries
この映画、子供の時から、今でもずっと本当大好き
共同富裕
I love this ost so much because of effecf of watching this movie in childhood , it was very impressive that pure love between ghost and man was made up well like our real world
It's almost like Romeo and Juliet... when you watch it, you want them to be together so badly, but their love is doomed - so tragic!
This is the classic that will never be bettered. The music, the characters, the tragic love story all come together beautifully
Leslie Cheung, Joey Wong, Wu Ma, Jacky Cheung, James Wong (best Hong Kong songwriter along with Ku Ka Fai).... I'm grateful to have lived my childhood days during those fantastic times!
You grew up on the best of the best! I was already in my late 20s before I discovered HK cinema. If I'd been any younger, my brain would have melted!
@@atlanteumyou so lucky you were grown up during those era. Most of us still teenager a kid didn’t really grasp the concept of life yet and the in-depth of HK cinemas 😂
@@katonguyen3029 One of the greatest things about the Internet is that Great Art - from every Year, every Culture, every Century - is lying there... waiting for us to discover it, generation after generation.
Hey folks, just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who has enjoyed and commented on the video! I plan to start on another one very soon - this time, for A Chinese Ghost Story II. [Fingers-crossed that they don't get pulled down for copyright violations!]
I can't wait
@@degman00 Thank you! I just have to find my copy of the movie... it got boxed up a while back when I thought I was going to be moving! But I'll find it - I promise!
感恩上傳者，好人有好報，佛心的人，我喜歡你
good movie last through time. watching this in this day and age, it still looks good.

can't believe this was made almost 40 years ago
Damn...
永遠喜歡張國榮，熱心幫助人，是天上星是下凡間的，永遠尊敬他
相當經典之作品，百聽百看皆不厭！🦩🦩🦩
I agree! A long time ago, I made a CD of Hong Kong movie soundtracks, compiling ACGS, several Jackie Chan songs and of course music from the Jet Li Huang Fei Hong films.
Since I don't post much on UA-cam, I've never really bothered to keep track of views. I happened to drop by today and was shocked to see the view count hit more than 18,000. The last time I looked, I don't think it was more than about 240! I am so happy folks are finding and enjoying the video. More than that, I hope it encourages viewers to check out the movie [and many other great HK movies like it!] if they have not already.
My best to everyone in 2021 -
Thank you for the upload! One of the best movies, best film scores of ALL time 👍, just cannot be recreated.....
@@ronaldd2154 Couldn't agree with you more. ACGH is more of a tone poem than a motion picture -
Thank you very much. I think i am going to watch the movie again. I don't think that there are many movies i come back watching so regularly. One of the most touching films i ever saw.
@@HamannGeorg ACGS II is highly recommended as well. A little more on the action-adventure side than the first one, but definitely a worthy sequel. Avoid the third one at all costs!
@@atlanteum I know all three^^, and I totally agree with you :-)
Beautiful Joey Wong
Boy... you got that right, friend! Another character, Moon - introduced in A Chinese Ghost Story II and played by Michelle Reis [aka Lee Ka-yan] - is another knock-out! No surprise when she left show business and married the son of a billionaire!
Thank you. I enjoyed this edit. Saw this in middle school back in the 90s on a VHS. I miss Leslie Chung.
Same here! 90s and VHS... just WISH I had still been in middle school!

I just saw this movie few days ago for the first time and loved it so much. Really enjoyed the Video you made
Hey, thanks so much, Nightblade! I'm glad you enjoyed both the movie and the music video.
There are several sequels out there you might want to look for as well. Personally, I really enjoyed ACGS II, but didn't think ACGS III quite lived up to the first two. And don't even get me started on the horrendous 2011 remake!
You should definitely check out II and III, though, if you liked the first one. Cheers -
Thanks for answering to my comment! I will definitly watch the other movies. I heared that the 3rd movie is like a remake of the first already? and yeah i saw the trailer of the 2011 remake. Visually it looks interesting but it sure lost the charm and humor of the original, wich got replaced with action. at least thats my opinion after seeing the trailer.
Thanks again ~
@@atlanteum 3 was strange without Leslie Cheung. Not bad but definately under 1 and 2 even if Joey is still perfect.
@@Yaguara 1 and 2 are the best, and really, 1 is in a league of its own - just so special. Leslie's death was one of the most tragic ever, and I've heard many sad stories about Joey [Wong Jo-Yin] as well. Just like the movie, it makes you realize how short life is, and how precious the happy moments are.

Thank you for sharing and your efforts
Beautiful editing job, atlanteum. I love the movie and the song.
Thank you so much! I may try to do one for the second ACGS one of these days, as well.
Brilliant work, atlanteum. Thank you. Leslie - star forever!
Thank you so much! Yeah, Leslie was so cool in films. I can still feel the shock when my girlfriend at that time told me the terrible news. Some people seem to have everything, but have so much emptiness inside. So sad.
Ho visto questo bellissimo film negli anni 90. Musica stupenda, struggente. Capolavoro ❤
Anch'io! Bello l'adattamento italiano tra l'altro, doppiatori azzeccatissimi
@@reezlaw concordo, doppiatori azzeccati
No one can beat Leslie Cheung's version
Agreed... whole-heartedly. No one -
Joey wong. Is still beautiful to this day 🔥🔥🔥
wow you put this together nicely!
Thank you so much! It was a labor of love to honor one of my favorite movies of all time.
my favorite writer
Thank you somuch
You are welcome so much!
I became fan of Joey Wong after watching Chinese Ghost story
J'ai regardé A Chinese ghost story 1, 2 et 3. J'ai toujours la chanson en tête. Et Joey Wong est sublime et d'une impressionnante beauté. Plus de 30 ans après, je suis toujours ému en regardant ces extraits. Pour finir, je viens de me procurer les 3 films en dvd sur Amazon, j'ai hâte de les recevoir. Quand j'ai regardé le premier film en VHS, j'avais 28, 29 ans et aujourd'hui, presque 63.
J'ai une pensée émue pour Leslie Cheung. Repose en paix 🇷🇪😢💖💐
actor died and the actress lived in seclusion in canada, sad ending
Classic. 经典.
Watched this repeatedly as a kid but I never got to fully experience it because the only available version was untranslated so I just watched it not knowing what they were saying. Wish I could find a translated or even just subbed version and rewatch it loud on my tv
What language do you need it translated into?
@@atlanteum english
@@thefishinglor6931 I'm looking at it right now on Amazon! So, hurry up and get over there! But be sure to go for the dvd, NOT the Blu-Ray, as that seems to be an edited version of the original 1987 movie.
@@atlanteum thanks! its not translated
@@thefishinglor6931 It is! I checked to make sure the disc contains subtitles, as well as the original Cantonese language audio.
now there is a remake oh the ghost story , and the ending song is the orignal song from the movie, as a homage in memory of the singer , and there is a 3 cd box of the chinese ghost store 1.2.3
tStockarD - cool! That's great to know. Thank you for sharing here!
This movie deserves a remake in modern standard. Youngsters deserve to know this movie.
I must respectfully disagree. I no more want to see a remake of this beautiful film than I do of Star Wars or Casablanca. One of the great things about the internet is that it makes classics of the past - music, literature, art or movies - available to everyone. ACGS doesn't need a remake to keep it alive... just good word of mouth.
There have been several remakes, most notably the 2011 remake starring Liu Yi Fei aka Crystal Liu (Disney Live Action Mulan). There was a lesser known remake that came out last year. It came up on China's streaming platforms and didn't have a wide release compared to the 1987 and 2011 versions. With that said, none of them were as good as the original.
Trivia this film itself is a remake of a 1960's film, which itself was a loose adaptation of a short story by Pu Songling
Beautiful movie old school classic ❤
딱 이때까지만 최고...
There is a pine tree in my yard in Korea that I always see Joey Wang fly into at night,
Ah... so THAT's why she goes flying out of the house every night after dinner!
J adore cette musique,et les acteurs ainsi que ce bon réalisateur,merci à gogo sincèrement
Merci, MegLY! Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année!
Good。

The only thing missing is a squirrel named Little.
He flew out to Hong Kong for negotiations, but the filming schedule was going to be in conflict with his nut-gathering routine, so he had to bow out.
where can i download this movie hd?
I'm not sure these days. Amazon, maybe?
I own a dvd purchased back in the 90s or early 2000s. I'm sure a quick search would turn up some results, but make sure you don't end up with the terrible remake from 2011!
Back in the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.. when Korean cinema was still in its infancy, now everything we watch is from Korea 😂
Please somebody tell me some other movies just like this type, I I know there are the kind like snow white foxes ghost and other love story ghost type.I love the older type or set in old times.Please give me some links.And I really like Leslie Cheung a lot.He was a great actor and singer.
If you liked this movie, be sure to check out the first sequel, A Chinese Ghost Story II. Joey, Leslie and Wu Ma are back for more action and romance. There was a third film, too, but I can't recommend that one as highly. And the recent remake, with all the CGI effects... ugh! Avoid at all costs!
@@atlanteum I tried to get the movie A Chinese Ghost Story 2 but I can't get it.It's not in you tube or anywhere else that I can find.Please find it for me.I really love Leslie Cheung and his acting in this kind of movie , chinese ghost story.
Green Snake (1993) starring Joey Wong and Maggie Cheung is the one. And Peony Pavilion(2001) also starring Joey Wong . And Flowers of Shanghai (1998)
@@seahagvickitaiwan6633 Thank you so much.I will find the movies that you had mentioned above.
@@lmhorigin8018 Hey, LMHO - sorry I missed your follow-up comments. Hope you are doing well and keeping safe from the covid-monster these days. I am happy to recommend some other movies. There were so many great films coming out of Hong Kong in the 90s and early 2000s, it's hard to keep track of them all. Do you know the Huang Fei Hung series starring Jet Li? They are amazing, especially the first two. Iron Monkey is another one of my all-time favorites.
In 1983, before he directed A Chinese Ghost Story, Tsui Hark directed Zu - Warriors of the Magic Mountain, an epic sword and fantasy film. I think you will like it. Please let me know if I can suggest anything else!
love you forever Gor Gor in 2021
Not sure if that was directed at me or Mr. Cheung, so I'll say - Thanks! - for the both of us!
@@atlanteumGor Gor ( which is how cantonese people affectionately call or refer to older brother) is a nickname or stage name for Leslie Cheung during his singing prime.
@@KiseiruYoshioka Ah, very cool! Thank you for that information.
An old girlfriend from Hong Kong once called me Gwai Tsai [ghost baby] when we were dating. Her father was afraid I'd be offended because it sounded too much like Gwai Lo [used as "foreign devils!" back in the day, but it really means something along the lines of "old ghost man."] Anyway, I liked it and the name stuck!
@@atlanteum Your welcome, I am a mixed japanese and taiwanese living in Taiwan thus not very versed in canto or much exposed hong kong language nor film at first up until I saw this movie where Joey Wong were casted together with Leslie, from then on I started to explore more of his song and his tragic background story including his struggle in drugs addiction and mental depression. It was an outmost unfortunate event that his singing career was cut short due to the intense clash between his fans and Alan Tam's sparking way too much of a controversy that leads to his ultimate departure from music during the vertex of his singing vocation to avoid further fan's altercations. By the time I get to know about him, he had long gone for his journey to the afterlife but for his short life which was as brief as a candle and the endless scuffle against depression in which he receives shorter end of the sticks for mostly but nevertheless he shoned brightly despite of all the odds throughout his life in order to convene happiness and entertainment to others, he hungs the moon truly.
@@atlanteum I hate to say this but Leslie had way too much of shortcomings within his life and most of it only contributed more to his stress.WuMa (the old actor whom casted the daoist swordsman in the movie) once stated in an interview that during the filming process of this movie, Leslie was trembling all the time especially his hand and having speech disorientation while resting at the filming set allegedly. This was noticed by few other actors whom present during the filming as well, a trace of his mental and physical fatigue also an accumulation of stress and depression state. He kept these well hidden though, during the filming process.

HK as in "Lay ho mah?"
could anybody give me the frist video, at 0:02. Thanks so much!
Hello Khang! All of the footage in this video is from Tsui Hark's 1987 'A Chinese Ghost Story.' Please let me know if you were asking about something else! Cheers -

实在是想不通，那时候的古装电影是那么好看，现在的都是什么玩意。
应该说一种真实感，可能那时候化妆技术不强，特效不强，画质也不强，所以只能演员强，只能真动作，只能物理实现特效。
现在演员一个个化的妆太不真实了，动作表情太浮夸，打斗全靠特效
Mainly, they just didn't have a lot of money for the make up FX. In spite of that, it's still a beautiful movie -
