The pinnacle of Chinese drama

Before watching this film, I had a natural prejudice against domestic films, thinking that it was a big director who couldn't make other people's films and couldn't make other people's big shots. Of course, this was originally a fallacy. Now there is no need for anyone to stand up and criticize this kind of plot of mine, and I will admit it unceremoniously. In the past, I never felt Leslie Cheung, but in Farewell My Concubine, every time I saw him, I would have a feeling of trembling in my heart. The elegant temperament of the decaying aristocracy, the sad and proud gaze, the gentle and full of pride movement, all of which make people feel all about Dieyi. His feelings, his state of mind, the people he loves and the people he is jealous of. Dieyi was originally a simple person. He was forced by his master to sing Kunjiao since he was a child. But every time I say "I am a man, not a woman". He stayed for the sake of Xiao Shi, the master brother who had always taken care of him and cared for him, and the later Bawang Duan Xiaolou, and he sang later without reluctance: I was originally a female Jiao'e, not a man. He didn't know that after that, all his mood and affection were quietly overturned in this sentence.

    The master said that people always have to fulfill themselves. However, looking back on his life, he never fulfilled himself. No matter how many years have passed and how many changes he has undergone, he is still the little bean who hums and sings that I am a man. Standing on the lively street, he will still be in a trance for a moment when he sees Bingtanghulu. Farewell My Concubine, True Concubine, Fake Overlord. Dieyi Dieyi, there is no Cheng Dieyi in the world.

    "I was originally a man" to "I was originally a female Jiao'e" Cheng Dieyi's persistence will not change for the rest of his life. He wants to sing a play with Duan Xiaolou for a lifetime. It's a day, an hour, a minute, a second. It's not like life is like a small building in a play, you can enter Dieyi but you can't enter the play, and who are you, Xiaolou or Dieyi?
