The Myth

History, legends and Jackie-style adventure
In 'The Myth', director Stanley Tong combines 2,000-year-old Chinese mythology with modern-day action adventure, with scenes that alternate from present day to Qin Dynasty. There is a little of history, myth and cultural undertones in the film. For instance, legend has it that during the 36th year of the reign of emperor Qin Shihuang, 'a star fell from the sky into the Eastern Province, where it became a stone.' The stone foretold that the Earth would split for the death of Qin Shihuang.

The emperor, who was at the time on a quest for the Elixir of Eternal Youth, killed the villagers who lived near the rock - and then discovered its incredible power of anti-gravity. Qin Shihuang started to build a royal tomb for himself despite his infatuation with immortality. Through the prodigious endeavours of more than 700,000 forced labourers, the mausoleum was completed 37 years later. To ensure utmost secrecy, all those who worked on the project were buried alive with the dead Emperor. Over the next 2,000 years, historians, tomb-raiders, and happy-go-lucky adventurers alike have been homing in on the royal treasure buried within.

However, no one has ever succeeded in locating the entrance to the mausoleum. Thus the bulk of the First Emperor's treasure, including the much-fabled elixir of youth, remains intact. The film gets into pace when intrepid archeologist Jack (Jackie Chan) and ambitious scientist William (Tony Leung Ka Fai) set out on an adventure. Their journey starts at Dasar, India, where they stumble upon an ancient sword from the Qin Dynasty and a magical gemstone that appears to be able to defy gravity. The booty not only leads them to the mythical mausoleum, but also connects Jack to his 'past life' in his dreams.

In his dreams, Jack is Meng Yi, a Qin General who falls for the First Emperor's beautiful consort Ok Soo (Kim Hee Seon). As Meng Yi commands his troops in an increasingly desperate war against rebels, he also has to battle his inner desires in choosing between eternal love and loyalty. Computer effects are heavily used such as in the innovative creation of an anti-gravitational Laboratory of William.

In the final part of the movie, there is the rather grand 'Palace in the Sky', based on historical text which said the Qin emperor had built such a place. With the help of computer modeling, artists used Qin dynasty architectural and design elements in creating the Palace in the Sky, giving it an ethereal and romantic setting for the climactic ending. But the largest set in The Myth is the one used for the General's final battle scene. It was a grand scale production, involving thousands of soldiers and horses from the Chinese military and cavalry posing as the mighty army of the Qin Dynasty.

The battle was shot at the Yellow River Forest of Rocks in faraway Jinsu Province and the Jinxi Plains of Beijing. The production was extensive. There were 300 crew members working on top of the thousands of extras in battle scenes. Many were injured on the set, including one where 22 people got hurt.

With elegant grace and power, The Myth envelops the audience in the magic of a timeless fable.

Endless Love (Translation)

JC (in Chinese):Decode for me, the most mystic waiting.

The stars have fallen, and the wind is blowing.

Finally, I can embrace you again,

Two hearts vibrating.

Believe me, my heart has never changed.

Thousand years of waiting with my promise,

No matter how many cold winters have passed,

I will never let go.

Kim (in Korean):Now tightly hold my hands, and close your eyes.

Please think about the times when we were deeply in love.

Because we loved too much,

That is why we have been in such pain.

We cannot even say the words ?love you? to each other.

JC:Every night, my heart is pierced by pain.

My thought of you has no end.

Long been accustomed to the following by loneliness,

I use smile to face it.Believing in me,

you choose to wait.

No matter how much pain you have felt, you never give up.

Only your softness can save me

From the endless coldness.

Kim:Now tightly hold my hands, and close your eyes.

Please think about the times when we were deeply in love.

Because we loved too much,

That is why we have been in such pain.

We cannot even say the words ?love you? to each other.

Together (in Chinese):Let the love that is in our hearts

Become that ever-blossoming flower

Together we travel through the endless space and time, never bowing our heads. A dream we never give up.

Kim:Because we loved too much,

That is why we have been in such pain.

We cannot even say the words ?love you? to each other.

Together (in Chinese):Let the love that is in our hearts

Become that ever-blossoming flower

Together (JC in Chinese and Kim in Korean):We should never ever forget the promises we had.

Together (in Chinese)Only true love follows you and me

Travelling through the endless space and time.

Kim:We cannot even say the words ?love you? to each other.

Jackie:Love is the only myth that is in the hearts that never changes.
