Under the dazzling light, a pair of old and slender hands slammed their swords, and the picture was frozen in the close-up of the overlord's face. When Xipi Erhuang's rapid rise, the audience raised the most intense but not warm applause. I glanced at the girl on the left, with tears hidden in the frame like hers, and high-fiving, as if no one was around.
I can't count the number of times I watched "Farewell My Concubine", but it was the first time I sat in the theater to watch the film version. Although the picture was a little distorted and the sound was too loud, it was indeed a fake, real "movie". ", that day at the Shin Kong Cinema, another long-cherished wish.
I remember when I was in junior high school ten years ago, I knew this film for the first time because of the MV of Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian's "When Love Is A Past", the movie clips interspersed in the pictures of the two people, perhaps because they intercepted the most gorgeous pictures. , I once thought that this was a war epic of the Republic of China's enmity. When I couldn't wait to buy the three-disc vcd, when I watched it in one breath, I was so excited. Needless to say, a "Farewell My Concubine", as Yuan Siye played by Ge You in the play, "became the overlord of Ji Bie", Leslie Cheung's butterfly clothes It's like a dream, there is no distinction between males and females in the play, and people don't know what is going on outside the play. The first impression is to escape from the epic, to see what a classic masterpiece is, and to be decoupled from the film theory that will be studied day and night in the future. The exquisite details are presented, I am afraid that even director Chen Kaige himself is difficult to copy: Cheng Dieyi is just popular When I walked up the steps of the theater, I heard the sound of "Bingtang Hulu" so far and so close. At the post-liberation symposium, young people threw political propositions to Duan Xiaolou, when Juxian held an umbrella to save the siege, although Li Bihua's novel was at the bottom. , After all, I saw that the film director's skill is not bad, and the young man who first asked about the world was fascinated by it.
After watching "Farewell My Concubine" in 2003, Leslie Cheung, who was a superstar in that year, became a forever idol in his heart. Under the tide of nostalgia, he couldn't help but conform to the crowd, but he didn't know the taste of chasing the glory of the deceased when watching DVDs. In the second taste, there is more scrutiny on the complex relationships of various people in the play: Juxian and Dieyi’s prosperous resentment to the chaotic world separated life and death. The true personality above the historical time and space, the belief that "from the beginning to the end" is immortal, and turned into a sword-wielding Yu Ji in the betrayal and separation of relatives. Gradually, I felt that I was not simply watching a movie, but more of the endless joys and sorrows in Ximeng's life. In fact, I am only eighteen years old, and I am an uncompromising baby for this movie. It doesn't matter if you watch it, but this one is the only one that people watch wholeheartedly in the film.
On August 15, 2009, as one of the film screenings for the 60th anniversary of Shanghai Film Studio, Shanghai Imaging and Shin Kong Film Art Studio replayed the film version of "Farewell My Concubine". I don’t know if I can count it as one, but more of it comes with the same feelings for the movie itself. The old movie that I loved when I was a teenager was never considered a Cannes classic, just because it fit my taste at that time. , moved my heart.
When the subtitles were broadcast, the applause sounded again, and the audience stood up and retired at this time. Only then did I suddenly realize that I was still the same young man I used to be.
