I am a man, not a girl

"I'm a man, not a girl..."

Cheng Dieyi's life was miserable. After being thrown into the troupe by her mother since she was a child, she worked hard for so many years... Silently likes my brother, but my brother is with other women... I don't know if this is the first same-sex movie, but It has affected future generations for so long... Everyone in the movie is tragic...

Gong Li is really a very charming woman, and Leslie Cheung's Yu Ji is really beautiful. The final ending is really sad. Who is at fault? What's wrong is that Cheng Dieyi loves the wrong person.

    The audience was moved not so much by the story of joys and sorrows, but by the history of the collective memory of the Chinese people behind the story. Without the ups and downs of the historical background, the truth of human nature cannot be set off, nor can it constitute a poignant story. Family and country feelings are Chen Kaige's deep sense of mission. He can't do pure love between children. [E-Bo] 20081129, the 3rd time. [Lecture Hall] 1211, 4th time, mainland version, no subtitles, no theme song.

    At the peak of Chen Kaige, some people say that this film was not made by him. Unofficial history is suspicious. It is also good to read his search. In view of the fact that Hong Kong took the initiative to ask him to shoot Li Bihua's novels at that time, and the male protagonists were chosen at random, I believe that Chen Kaige at that time had such strength. The movie is sad. I've watched it a few times, but I've forgotten more about the plot. The lethality is great, don't watch it if you are depressed, it will be even more uncomfortable.
