The theme should be a story between two men, of course, neither of them are kings but "actors". It's just that their experiences were mixed with the grievances and grievances of the palace. They were more than just friendships. Of course, I don't know if they could be called "comrades". They were purely spiritual in love, and they didn't confess to each other.
Right and wrong inside the palace, I don't know if they are being used to eradicate dissidents politically, but in any case, they are so small and have no freedom. Like floating with fate in a whirlpool.
The real king is cruel but full of emotion, but lonely and helpless in the cold room. He is just a member of the whirlpool. Although he is a king, he cannot decide his own destiny. Although a group of ministers are only supporting roles in the movie, they have their own starting point and worldview, and thus naturally have their own actions and rules.
I’m still moved by them, every detail made me cry, I’m not against homosexuality, but I don’t like movies with similar themes, such as “East Palace West Palace”, “Lan Yu” and “Sea Flowers”, but there are exceptions for purely spiritual ones, “Farewell to Overlord” Ji".
"Farewell My Concubine" is very coincidentally a story between two actors, and it is also ups and downs in the whirlpool of fate. The same breathless.
