I saw Butterfly-kun last night, it's so beautiful, the story is poignant, the actors are gorgeous, it's really beautiful.
When it comes to this film, it will inevitably be compared with Farewell My Concubine. Compared with the two films, I prefer Mr. Butterfly. The casting of Duan Xiaolou in Farewell My Concubine is a big reason. The following is due to the viewing order. As for Farewell My Concubine, I read the novel first. In the last decades of the novel, the two of them have become indifferent. Taking a bath in the big bath together is the most perfect ending in my heart. The calm water is beating wildly and shocking . Against this backdrop, the ending of the film's suicide is particularly naive. There are also some literati who are quite arrogant, Gu Ying, who feels self-pity, and thinks that the director is Chen Kaige. I just want to say that it is not surprising that such a superficial and beautiful change can be made.
As for Mr. Butterfly, I have never read the novel, but I have only seen the documentary of the real event, which is also the ending of one party committing suicide while performing on the stage, but I find it particularly shocking. After her heart died, René dyed her nails red and turned herself into her. She used red, red, white and white paint to turn herself into the "she" that sang Madame Butterfly when she first met. His face tortured himself over and over again, but he couldn't control himself to find M Butterfly, who was just a phantom and wishful thinking. The love that spanned time and foreign countries was nothing but a flower in the moon and mirror in the water. After falling into a sweet dream and falling asleep, "Mr. Song", who was taking the opportunity to return to China at this time, turned such turbulent years into a teardrop that was about to fall in the corner of his eyes.
Of course, the most moving thing is that when Song Liling walked into the courtroom in a suit and leather shoes, René wanted to make a normal smile, but was overwhelmed by the silence in her heart, leaving only uncontrollable twitching at the corners of her mouth.
