      Feelings of "Beauty on the Stage"

      Small, the whole movie feels small, the scope is small, the actors are few, and the plot is fixed. Referred to as small art.
        The protagonist was taught by the teacher to grow up in a female body since childhood, which triggered a painful and tortured transformation in the future. A little disappointed, his setback is not a setback in reality, and it is estimated that this is not the embodiment of a documentary film.
        There are also a few highlights, such as Canasta and Hughes'...

      Gorgeous but old-fashioned

      I watched stage beauty yesterday, and I didn't think it was very good.
      One commentary said it described a person's journey of finding his true self.
      But I think the story is gorgeous but old-fashioned, omnipotent and omnipotent, a tough-looking heroine from humble origin, a heroine who should be charming (actually not) feminine in life and only on stage, the heroine through silent waiting/active Dedication, let the male lead know that he is a "man" (oh), the two co-starred in the...

      if. . . So. . .

      It records a special era when the women on the stage were still played by men. Edward Kynaston, "the lovelist lady that ever I saw in my life" by Samuel Pepys. Kynaston's gender identity was also softened due to his long-term role as a woman. In the film, he is a bisexual, abandoned by his male lover, and then moved by the love of his assistant Maria, and finally hugs and kisses her. I doubt the authenticity of the plot of the movie. Kynaston gave me the feeling, a lot like PB. Certainly not in...

      The big reunion can't hide the desolation of the artist

      "Stage Beauty" is easily reminiscent of "Shakespeare in Love" or "Louis XIV's Mistress". Stage disputes and romantic affairs are the most dramatic, and artists live in a big era where survival is not easy. , it is easier to play. Looking at the pamphlets written by the French about the dramas of Molière's era, you can better appreciate the hardships at that time.
      So Stage Beauty as a whole seems to be there for tragedy, and I just can't bear to see the ending. However, unexpectedly, the...

      Stage Beauty (2004)

      In his diary for 1660, Samuel Pepys wrote that the most beautiful woman on the London stage was named Kynaston.

      A man more beautiful than a woman, a stage beauty. Bright eyes, bright as stars. Every frown and smile is charming. Shockingly beautiful.

      Desdemona, who used to be in front of the king's palace, angered the king's mistress who was eager to perform on the stage because of her invincible refusal to perform on the same stage with a woman. With a single decree, he was...
