The page gave "Fa yeung nin wa" as the Jyutping romanization, which is clearly wrong (see the Jyutping page). It _is_ the Yale romanization except with no tone marks. I imagine this one is given since it's what's used on IMDB, so I've labeled it as Yale and put the Yale tone-mark version in parens. If you're curious, the Jyutping would be: faa1 joeng6 nin4 waa4 which I believe is IPA /faː/ /jœːŋ/ /niːn/ /waː/ (but I'm not a Yue speaker, just familiar enough with Han characters to look up their romanization). 209.6.44.80 (talk) 22:33, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Hmm, the literal translation of 'fa yeung nin wah' sounds a bit wrong to my (admittedly not so good) chinese ears. Can anyone confirm that the translation is good? O/w I am going to 'be bold' and change it a bit. novacatz 00:23, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
- maybe "The Magnificence of Years Passed like Flowers"? --WongFeiHung 20:06, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Since we're on the topic of translations, are the song title translations official? They're not really wrong per se, but I think a better job could be done.173.66.16.240 (talk) 05:56, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
I can't read the "English" transcription/transliteration: Instead of letters there are numerals at the end of the words. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kdammers (talk • contribs) .
The two protagonists spent a night together? What does that imply? Perhaps with how subtle the movie is in places, I didn't see that, but I don't think what is being implied actually happened. --Sephiroth9611 (talk) 14:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
If we're talking about Plot synopsis ambiguities, as I recall, the claim that Chow does not realize that Su is the woman with the son who is living next door when he returns is not unambiguously clear from the film. I think there's something more particular going on with that scene, and the immediately following intertitle, than just "not realizing". I see a distinct possibility in him making a deliberate choice not to inquire any further, particularly regarding her now having a son - things have changed, her life is different now to when they had their experience together, they cannot return, she has new ties to new things that may lead to more heartbreak etc. At the very least, I think the commentary that he "does not realize" is too specific for a scene that can produce more interpretations than that. Maybe there's something in the translation leading me astray and the "not realizing" is better-supported than I'm picking up on. 2A00:23C6:3081:3B01:2F:81BD:3F6D:D87A (talk) 15:56, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
IIRC, the second time he speaks into a hollow at Angkor Wat, there is a seedling in there. I came away from the film thinking that was as overt as the film got about the child being his. MMetro (talk) 11:50, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
