Farewell My Concubine, Reivew on Farewell My Concubine

"Farewell My Concubine" is a touching epic masterpiece with artistic value and ironic significance. It depicts the joys and sorrows of little people in the context of the rich Peking Opera culture, which not only reflects the changes of society, but also shows the diversity of human nature. In addition to the ups and downs of the plot and the beautiful image packaging, its success is more importantly supported by the superb acting skills of the actors. Leslie Cheung's performance is almost perfect.
The first 40 minutes of narration and emotion are wonderful, but unfortunately after the appearance of my brother, the film seems too fragmented, the emotional clues are intermittently scattered, and the characters' personalities have not changed or strengthened in the ups and downs of the times. So we can only hastily concluded that "no madness can't survive" and "it's the times that are sorry for him". In fact, there can be more collisions and connections between characters and eras, between characters and situations, and this is what this 160-point masterpiece should better grasp. However, the film is good enough.
