M. Butterfly Comments

A typical case of Orientalism: the illusion of a Western man falling in love with an Eastern woman and eventually shattered. Text overlays: opera "Madame Butterfly" (Japanese woman and American sailor), Peking opera "Drunken Concubine" (male dan), film noir mode (Femme fatale is a male spy). At the same time, the contrast between the Cultural Revolution in China and the May storm in France is also interesting. However, in order to achieve this impossible narrative task, the screenwriter...

Jeremy Iron is so sick! That generation of foreign directors had a much stronger perception of China than it is now. Well...

What impresses me more than Farewell My Concubine is this butterfly, both butterflies and dragonflies want to...

It's too set, fake and fake. Zunlong's appearance is okay, and it takes 20 minutes to get tired of watching it. The last scene can also reflect some of Kronenberg's...

The disillusionment of the oriental imagination in the form of a romantic drama. You think that you have lived in the midst of thousands of flowers, and the leaves are not touching your body, but you will wake up from your dream and find that you are the butterfly that was played with. If it's just a love tragedy, it's the least expensive. Colonial mentality and mystifying aesthetics are the arrogance of outsiders. This arrogance is not over, nor is this price...

Butterfly-kun, who died for love with tears, is so beautiful. I love...

The process of watching is to gradually understand a truth that is hard to believe. The moment when the naked body is relatively revealed is the saddest moment and the funniest moment, depending on how you look at this absurd story at its core. It may slip to the cheesy edge at any time, but fortunately it can maintain a tone close to the opera...

Because I read a lot of materials before, I didn't have so many surprises when I watched this movie, but I still thought it was very interesting and meaningful. It was filmed in the 1980s. Otherwise, I really couldn't make this taste. The simple people in the Xiaoqiao Hutong in Houhai Where can I find it...

Weird meeting point of East and West, plus, Cultural Revolution, Peking Opera, homosexuality. . . From the perspective of the East, it is impossible to see that the final tragic ending and the sublimation of love are so logical, even if "based on true...

As far as the matter is concerned, in fact, to say that a man plays a woman, I think Zunlong's performance in "Mr. Butterfly" is better than Leslie Cheung's performance in "Farewell My Concubine". Would anyone play puppets? It's just that Butterfly-kun's script and director are not as good as Farewell My Concubine, but Zunlong is absolutely...
