At first I knew that this movie was a fake makeup that I saw on station B imitating Zunlong Song Liling. In the fake makeup video, Song Liling opened the curtain and said "Be a gentleman, will you, and light my cigarette?" to Rene. "Stunned by Heaven and Man" probably describes such a scene - when you opened the curtain, your eyes were staring at you with eager rays of light, but this eagerness lasted less than a few seconds and was covered up by the drooping eyelashes, and the eyes rolled, It was replaced by a bit of loneliness. So I looked for a movie to watch.
I haven't seen many films and TV works of men pretending to be women. One is Pepe's "Homage of Hormones", and this is the other. When I watched "Crazy Hormones", I already felt that Pepe was amazing. Now, when I watch "Mr. Butterfly", I think Zunlong is better. Probably because the skeletons of Orientals are more slender than those of Westerners. In fact, Zunlong's facial contours are not very soft, but he grasps the female body and demeanor very well. When walking, it is elegant and soft, and it will not give people the discomfort of too much force; there are also eyes that cover up desire implicitly; when chatting, they will quietly play with their fingers...
Rene described Song Liling like this: "...Like a young girl, a young and innocent schoolgirl, looking forward to class." I feel that Rene is more like that young, innocent teenager in front of Song Liling. When "Mrs. Butterfly" first met, Rene expressed her admiration for Song Liling clumsily; in order to meet her at the Beijing Theater, she had to ask for directions by humming a tune; Under the stage, he watched Song Liling sing a play that he didn't understand, his face was full of joy, the play drum was pounding, knocking into his heart; after the promotion, he also ran excitedly Seeing her, telling her, is like a child waiting to be praised by a parent... too much. Rene's innocence and sincerity in front of Song Liling really touched me.
Song Liling is more like a gentle big sister, who can comfort Rene leisurely and let him become a rhythm with her. Even though she says "I am your slave." to Rene, we all know that Rene is actually the one who is caught up in the relationship and is in control. It seems that Rene was aware of it too. When he came to Song Liling's house drunk, when Song said "I am your slave." to him, he replied, "You just said it casually, as if you really think so. "
Song Liling once asked herself a question: "Why is the role of Dan in Peking Opera always played by men?" "Because only men know when and what women should do." I was thinking while watching this movie, the male gaze Is there really only oppression for women? In the past, I can say that I disliked the male gaze very much, but after watching this movie, my thoughts have changed a little. Perhaps the charm of women sometimes comes from this long-standing history. If it weren't for the male gaze, there would not be such a charming existence as Song Liling. Mr. Butterfly created Mrs. Butterfly from the perspective of his own man.
Song Liling created this perfect female image. In addition to using the male gaze, he also used Westerners' imagination of the East. After Rene watched "Mrs. Butterfly", or even earlier, Rene's imagination of the East was submissive and strong. Since you like the drama of an oriental woman who has no regrets and no regrets falling in love with a cruel and ruthless western man, then I will play a vulnerable and reserved oriental woman for you. With such a choice, I have to say that Song Liling is indeed a spy.
Basically every time Song Liling appears, the director will match her with music played by harp and violin. Although it seems a bit deliberate to use this type of music every time I appear, I still like this set of w. The mysterious oriental face is looming in the mist of the night. In the sound of this music, Song Liling is a butterfly that may disappear into the dream at any time, making people linger.
There are three of my favorite clips.
One was that Rene took Song Liling to the door for the first time. Song Liling didn't let him in. He was a little disappointed, but he walked happily on the road because he chatted with Song Liling. The dragonfly catcher by the lake caught his eye, and he asked the man in broken Chinese what he was doing, and the man gave him a dragonfly, then a rickshaw stopped behind him, and the driver moved towards him in a friendly manner. laugh. The country that I didn't like before became cute because of Song Liling, but I didn't know that Song Liling, like the dragonfly, was going to fly away.
The second is that Rene hurried to her home after receiving Song Liling's letter and kept asking her "Are you my butterfly?" Song Liling said "Don't you know already?" Rene said "I want you to say it." Seeing that Song Liling was still reluctant to say it, she took out her letter and read the sentence "I have long since opened my shame to you." After reading it, she kissed the letter, and then raised her eyebrows to look at Song.
The third is that they went to climb the Great Wall. Song Liling did not wear elegant and gentle clothes as usual, but just wore an ordinary navy blue suit (the same style as Uncle Benshan, hhh). She went to get something to eat, and then walked over to Rene, who was sitting with her back to her. With her eyes closed, Rene leaned her head on her lap after hearing her footsteps, and she stroked his blond hair. This inadvertently revealed intimacy is really beautiful.
It is these inadvertently revealed intimacy that make me willing to believe that Song Liling was not careful and careful about Rene from the very beginning. Maybe it was after the old lady who peeped at their intimate behavior, Song Liling had to do this.
There is one thing I don't understand, isn't Song Liling already serving the government as a spy? Why was it still sent to a major transformation during the Cultural Revolution?
Many people think that Rene doesn't love Song Liling herself, but only the Madame Butterfly phantom he created, but I think he also loves Song Liling. In court, when he first saw Song Liling in a suit and leather, the expression on his face was not stunned and angry, but a fleeting smile, and then a deep loneliness. On the prison van, Rene looked at Song Liling in men's clothing, and asked "Are you my butterfly?"
Are you my butterfly? I am not sure, but I am my butterfly.
After watching the play, she became a person in the play, and Rene, who was moved by the story of "Mrs. Butterfly", finally became Mrs. Butterfly.
