The first time I saw this movie, I was completely attracted by Leslie Cheung's appearance. This one is really classic. The line I remember most clearly is "You can't live without being mad". In Cheng Dieyi's eyes, Duan Xiaolou would really stay with him for the rest of his life, but in Duan Xiaolou's eyes, it was just a show.
It is very unique that the director chooses the Peking Opera art with the deepest accumulation of Chinese culture and the life of its artists to express his thinking and understanding of traditional culture, people's living conditions and human nature. For Chinese people who are familiar with traditional Chinese culture, this film contains a lot of things.
Duan Xiaolou has experienced the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the Japanese occupation period, the early liberation period and the Cultural Revolution period. And a little "little cleverness" can often save the day. At the same time, we also witnessed the process of his personality transformation. Duan Xiaolou, who was sobbing at Dieyi for singing for the Japanese (although Dieyi was all about saving him), said to Dieyi during the Cultural Revolution, "If you eat soft, then it will still be fine." Not my overlord, your Yuji" Duan Xiaolou, who lost his stubborn character, how can such a degeneration not be heart-wrenching?
