Goodbye, Dragon Inn (2003) - full transcript

A Japanese tourist takes refuge from a rainstorm inside a once-popular movie theater, a decrepit old barn of a cinema that is screening a martial arts classic, King Hu's 1966 "Dragon Inn." Even with the rain bucketing down outside, it doesn't pull much of an audience -- and some of those who have turned up are less interested in the movie than in the possibility of meeting a stranger in the dark.

Teacher, you come to see the movie?

I haven't seen a movie in a long time

No one comes to the movies anymore

And no one remembers us anymore

Temporarily closed

Male left, female right, please place
your hand in the appropriate place

Please choose your blood type

Please choose your question

Please take your fortune

I remember, under the moon

I remember, before the flowers

So much of the past lingers in my heart

Half is bitter Half is sweet

Year after year, I can't let go

Can't let go, can't let go

Under the moon, before the flowers

Can't let go, can't let go

I'll remember with longing forever

I remember, under the moon

I remember, before the flowers

So much of the past lingers in my heart

Half is bitter Half is sweet

Year after year, I can't let go

An Oldie from the 60's Can't Let Go
