  Teachers' Domain: Map of the Human Heart
The heart's primary function is to pump blood to all parts of the body, bringing nutrients and oxygen to tissues and removing waste products from them.
Heart disease is the number-one cause of death in the United States, resulting in more than 700,000 deaths annually.
This means not that their heart has stopped working, but that their heart is not pumping effectively enough to meet their body's need for oxygen-rich blood, either during exercise or at rest.

The title relates to the fact that the poetic seat of our emotions can actually be read just like a road map: oxygenated blood (red resin) is pumped from the lungs to the rest of the body, and the returning deoxygenated blood (blue resin) is pumped back to the lungs.

Still, "Map of the Human Heart" is an enjoyable two-hour ride, an unusual and eccentric combination of old-fashioned and modern movie sensibilities, told from a decidedly '90s mindset.
"Map of the Human Heart" has some stunning moments and the lead players — particularly Lee (who can also be seen in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story") — are all quite good.
"Map of the Human Heart" is rated R for wartime violence, sex and nudity and some scattered profanities.

 DVD Times - Map Of The Human Heart   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
Map of the Human Heart is a deeply romantic film, a sweeping love story set against the backdrop of the Second World War.
The film has a beautiful symmetry and makes good use of objects such as mirrors and maps for symbolic and emotional resonance, even if the theme of using maps, x-rays and war reconnaissance photographs as a symbol of capturing the emotional designs of human love and desire is also a little overblown.
Map of the Human Heart is not as daringly original as the director’s earlier The Navigator, but it wears its influences less openly and is an accomplished piece of adventurous filmmaking.

i appropriated the idea of a map and most of the list of fetishes she used (as well as adding a few that weren't on the list) and thought about them.
given this, titling the piece "map of the human heart" is ironic and darkly funny.

 Map of the Human Heart - Laserdisc Forever
Vincent Ward’s extraordinary Map of the Human Heart is a terrific lost gem of a film that was largely ignored during its brief theatrical run due to weak marketing, and subsequently forgotten on video due to some piss-poor quality control from its distributor.
His subsequent film was the equally beautiful yet somewhat dopey What Dreams May Come, and both pictures can entrance the viewer’s eye with their striking imagery and vibrant use of color.
Map of the Human Heart was finally released on DVD in late 2004 with a new anamorphically enhanced widescreen transfer, a small handful of deleted scenes (not all that were shot), and, if you can believe it, even uglier cover art.
