Like all Li's works, apart from the magical beauty of the vicissitudes of life, the love and hate are deep in the film, the characters are vivid, and it seems that the desire to live in front of the eyes. Zhang Fengyi's small building is self-defeating, but Leslie Cheung's butterfly clothes are so soft that they are heartbroken. On the red 氍毹, Farewell My Concubine, strong and soft, chivalrous and tender, afraid that how many women will not be fascinated, will be lost? Amitabha.
After reading it, I was alone in the warm darkness and indulged. His thoughts are still deep, with waves of huge shocks and shocks, and he wakes up all at once. It was just another time when I passed by a tall human settlement, and I was hit by a falling object from a high altitude, and the concussion didn't know how many days it would take. But in the midst of such a violent shock, the lascivious such as I still have time to take the men in the film and filter them in my mind. I suddenly discovered that in the end, there is a night pearl in my heart. It is not an overlord, nor is it. Dieyi, but Yuan Siye.
——Yes, it was the reactionary drama tyrant Yuan Shiqing and Yuan Siye who was coveted by the male Dan Dieyi, who was played by Ge You, who had some roe-headed rat eyes with a smile and two front teeth.
And don’t think I’m a very maddening wife who wants to be a reactionary leader. The leader said that there is no love for no reason (and no hate for no reason) in the world. Wait for me to take care of all the benefits of the four masters one by one.
Yuan Siye's first appearance was after Xiaolou Dieyi's performance of "Farewell". At that time, Yuji, the overlord of the Festival, was the fragrance of the moonlight flower, which melted and melted the veins and veins, and both looked fixed in the mirror, not to mention the world outside the play.
Si Ye broke into the world of these two people at this time. The first appearance was "a little gift". A full set of pearl and diamond heads are in the butterfly box. good. It is also common for rich people to hold actors and spend money like dirt. But it was a lavish spirit. As the theater manager said: "It is said that the Queen Mother Lafayette back then, her old man appreciates the drama, is there such a hand?-no!"
Si Ye came for Dieyi. The purpose is clear, not obscured. But Dieyi didn't have him in his eyes. The request to "get down and sit down" was first rejected by Xiaolou's bluntness and then Dieyi's grievance. Si Ye is a man of the scriptures. In this small scene, he is an annoying contradiction, and of course he has a clear-sighted mind. He took off his hat and bowed, and walked back gently. No more nonsense. It's not surprising that he didn't jump on the spot-this kind of restraint is always there, otherwise he won't get mixed up. What is rare is that there is a certain kind of assurance in that calmness, that the butterfly can't fly away after getting it right. There is no scheming insidiousness. Just a kind of indifferent but firm self-confidence. Perhaps he believes that besides money, he also has other things, worthy of being captured alone.
In this small field, the five-seven-step battle between the overlord and the drama overlord was the first time to set the stage for the foreshadowing.
He is not anxious, dry, or discouraged. From this, I believe that he is not only aware of the last moment of physical pleasure, the "skinned idiot." He also knows how to enjoy all the ups and downs in the pursuit process, and the delicate feelings of inhumane.
The process is the end. In addition to courtship and courtship, in this long and tortuous life, Si Ye Dang also gained more impressions and tastes in the process than others.
In the first round of the meeting, Si Ye is a rich and sensitive man who knows how to chew life. It is a person who has been beaten in the world, so he has learned how to deal with it plainly.
The Fourth Master never used very despicable means, and therefore never caused a rift between the two. Believe that he is pursuing (whether it is a man or a woman), even if he is full of longing, but also retains the principle of doing nothing. On the contrary, in the small building, a chrysanthemum was inserted in the horizontal. This is true love between men and women. Die Yi's dream of "playing goodbye for a lifetime with my brother" was finally turned into a cloud of smoke.
When Xiaolou and Juxian were married, Dieyi lay on her back in a chair alone. The unremoved make-up is gorgeous and melancholy, with long hair scattered, and the eyes are full of darkness. It is a blind and hopeless love that is never possible. In front of him was the mirror that once reflected the figure of Overlord and Yu Ji. Overlord is no longer. He is already someone else's husband. The days of shadowing each other will never look back. The mirror at this moment represents the empty heart of Dieyi.
So Si Ye reappeared. In the lens, we see a long feather, slanting into the mirror. Si Ye tried to enter Dieyi's heart.
"This pair of quills are collected from the tails of live pheasants. They are really rare."-I don't know whether he is saying that Dieyi is rare or he is saying that his heart is rare. The quill collected from the tail of a living pheasant cruelly entangled the unredeemed love and hatred in the film, and also printed the beautiful Beijing opera art that has been repeatedly destroyed in troubled times. ——Talking too much for a while, digressing, come back and talk about Si Ye.
In Si Ye's house, Dieyi saw the sword that she made a wish to give to her brother when she was young. For him, that sword is about the majesty of his lover, about a stubborn belief since childhood, about Yu Ji's entire understanding and trust of the Overlord. He wants it. A look, Si Ye knows its meaning. He said: "This sword was obtained when Zhang Mansion was defeated." He said: "You don't talk about money between you and me. That word is really inelegant." Such arrogance is not impressive. I think he is in the city. The slow and solemn tone is madly qualified and proud of capital. ——It can also be seen that if you dare to say "that word is really inelegant", you must have some wealth, or you must be someone who has tasted the richness and wealth, otherwise, it is not really inhumane. (I have not I've seen it), it's pretending to be noble, or it's madman who doesn't know the suffering, let alone life and death.
So, the sword is presented to the beautiful woman.
Dieyi is the fourth master's heart, and she is a rare beauty in the allure. For Dieyi herself, the identities of the boyfriend and the girl Jiao'e were reversed for a lifetime, and she never figured it out. For Si Ye, it doesn't matter whether Dieyi is male or female. The important thing is that on Dieyi, he saw the so-called perfect incarnation.
I believe that Si Ye has far more appreciation for Dieyi than affection. Love is a kind of unreasonable deep entanglement, madness, possession, jealousy and lingering. Just like Dieyi to Xiaolou. We can never find out what is good about a person and still love him, or we can love each other for the whole life but still be strange to each other. Love does not need to be understood, but only needs to obey its arrangements. But Si Ye is not to Die Yi. The benefits of Dieyi, the beauty of Dieyi, what the public sees, he understands what the public can't see, he also understands, and even what Dieyi doesn't know, he also sees. Si Ye is such a sensitive person. He took a clear look at the beautiful things in Dieyi's soul.
Smile forever, cry forever sorrow. This situation is none other than you, and this appearance is none other than you. When Si Ye uttered these words, he was not just referring to Die Yi's appearance. Fundamentally, Si Ye is an artistic lunatic just like Die Yi. In the art of Beijing Opera (and Kun Opera), he has been immersed in his life and dedicated his heart and soul. Just as Die Yi said, Beijing opera is all about situation. Because of the situation, two or three dragon sets shuttle, and they are thousands of troops. Because of the situation, on the empty stage, these people divide flowers and willows, climb mountains and ridges, siege cities and graze territories, and act out the joys and sorrows of a lifetime of gifted men and beautiful women, emperors, and generals. Beijing opera is really an illusion of the heart. The situation is something you can't see or touch, but you can't find it. Therefore, when Si Ye and Dieyi, on stage and off stage, two opera idiots who are almost fascinated by Peking Opera meet at once, there is a shock of clouds hanging over the sea between the electric light and the fire. At that moment, their souls are connected. They are all people in the situation.
So for Si Ye, Dieyi is by no means just a beautiful actor. On Dieyi, he saw the realm of Peking Opera. That was the crazy thing of his life. For him, Dieyi is a symbol of artistic perfection. Si Ye never had the opportunity to board Hong Shu Shu in his life to dedicate himself to his ideal art. He must roll in the fame and fortune of the secular world. There is no choice. But in Dieyi's fascinated soul for the show, he could see another himself, a pure reflection. Si Ye's love for Dieyi is actually narcissistic and has a perfect expectation of himself. With such a fanatical obsession, it is no longer clear whether he loves art or people. But his attitude towards Dieyi is still restrained. Didn't fall into the extreme of ruining just by love.
In fact, Dieyi's gender is really not the focus of this erotic desire. Si Ye is not really gay. He loves Dieyi not because he is a beautiful man, but because he is a beautiful man. Represents the ideal person in the ultimate state. Believe that if Dieyi is a woman with the same superb artistic level, Si Ye will still fall in love with her. I also imagined that if the Fourth Master really fell in love with a certain woman, he would definitely understand her beauty and the essence of her soul better than the woman himself—unless he meets an opponent and he meets a woman who is equally sensitive—but This probability is not high. After all, there won't be too many such people.
He is a person who really knows Dieyi. He said that when watching Die Yi's performance, he was in a trance for two or three moments, and suspected that Yu Ji had reincarnated. ——Actually, in the original meaning of this film, Dieyi was given the soul of Yu Ji. A burning soul that lives and dies for the overlord. What Si Ye saw was exactly what Dieyi was.
Not crazy, not live. This is a sentence used by Xiaolou twice to evaluate Dieyi. When I said this, I once screamed like crazy in Dieyi: "I want to sing a lifetime drama with you. One year, one month, one day, one hour is not a lifetime!" Once during the Cultural Revolution, it was practiced. At the time of the "modern opera reform", Dieyi, who insisted on "contextuality", stood alone in the discussion against modern opera (actually, he opposed the roughening and politicization of Peking opera), and then stayed behind closed doors. When Xiaolou said, "You know how to sing for a lifetime, and you won't come out to see where all the dramas in this world have been sung", Dieyi's faint voice came from the door: "Why is she going to die?" ——Xiao Lou scolded those words and left angrily.
At that time, I was thinking that if the Fourth Master was there, he would definitely understand. Dieyi's persistence. Persistence to feelings, persistence to art. Dieyi is such a pure person who is obsessed with ideals. His soul is a fire, and he keeps burning in one direction without turning his head, even if the jade is burnt.
Xiaolou doesn't understand. Xiaolou and Dieyi are not the same. He is the overlord of the world, expecting some material, real, and ordinary happiness. He is not separated from this world. He also understands the general trend and knows how to follow the trend. He is an ordinary person. Normal and normal. And Die Yi is a lunatic. Throughout her life, Dieyi lived only in her own heart and followed only her inner voice. They are not people of the same world.
And Si Ye, I believe that if Si Ye were there, he would know Dieyi. Not crazy, not live. But true love and true art are originally a kind of madness. Dieyi is the ultimate person. He reached the true meaning of emotion and art with a kind of talented enthusiasm.
In external actions, Si Ye might not be as absolute as Die Yi. But he will understand him. They are one kind of people. Because of excessive sensitivity and aesthetics, he was burned.
Si Ye once asked Die Yi: "Are you willing to be my confidant?"-In fact, in this red confidant (in this movie), Die Yi's true confidant is only Si Ye. Regardless of whether Die Yi agreed or not, he and Si Ye were already a pair of lonely confidantes.
Xiaolou is not. He has never entered Dieyi's inner world. In his eyes he only saw a junior obsessed with drama and him. And Dieyi is Yu Ji. Yu Ji died for the perfect persistence in her heart. Xiaolou is an ordinary person. Dieyi and Si Ye are two flaming souls.
There is a detail in the film that moved me very much (there are too many details that touched me, let me just pick one): The Japanese occupation of Beiping. In the theater where the Great East Asia Co-Prosperity banner hangs, Dieyi is on the stage and the concubine is drunk. The neon clothes and feathers, fluttering and spinning with peerless elegance. Numerous anti-Japanese flyers were sprinkled over my head suddenly. The lights went out suddenly. The audience is clamoring. No one cared about the imperial concubine on stage anymore. In the chaos, only Dieyi, alone in the darkness, continued the unfinished beautiful dance steps under the leaflets, without stopping at all. In the chaos, only Fourth Master, alone in the upstairs box, continued to stare at Dieyi in the dark without any distraction.
This is art virtue and art soul. Don't ask about the sudden changes in the outside world, don't ask who is in this world now, whether it is ups and downs, and whether anyone is watching. On the stage, it is Yu Ji or Yu Ji, and the imperial concubine is the imperial concubine. In the dark, you must insist on finishing the scene. It was not for anyone to watch, it was a sacrifice to art. And Si Ye, even if he couldn't see it, he knew that Dieyi was continuing. They have so much respect for art and so faithful to their hearts. In the film, there are those with such artistic virtue and soul, including Mr. Guan from Keban, Dieyi, and the Fourth Master.
When the four masters applauded Dieyi alone in the dark, the relationship between them was no longer an actor who betrayed his body and an uncle who bought laughter and chased joy. Those are two pure souls that are connected. In this impetuous world, they are worthy of sympathy.
When the rioting people finally followed the Fourth Master’s palm to the Die Yi dancing alone in the dark, the lights came back to light, and applause broke out. That glorious moment. (I was very excited while holding a teacup in the bed).
When the Nationalist Government was in power and Dieyi was tried for traitorous crimes for singing for the Japanese, Si Ye performed astonishingly.
First, Xiaolou and the manager visited Si Ye and begged to help Dieyi. Xiaolou said that Dieyi was rescued, and that the Bao Yin of the two brothers (forgetting a few years) belonged to the Fourth Master. Si Ye said: "Without your silver bag, you can't feed these birds as I am?"-As you can imagine, Shi Yi Shi Yi, Si Ye may also have fallen. Although, Yu Wei is still there. But this faint remark does not make people feel disappointed, nor does it seem like a face-saving force. Si Ye knows his foundation and strength, and he also knows how to keep his dignity in the face of gradual decline. People who have seen the ups and downs know that in this world, if you sing and I will appear on the stage, the rise and fall are normal. The so-called "to be poor and tolerate to be rich", between calm eyes and brows, is the tolerance.
Si Ye is certainly not a nobleman. But in his bones, that kind of Gao Jue that is surpassed from the world of Flies Ying Gougou is not a natural noble person, at least a strong person, a wise person. Bright and clean in the world.
He still hasn't forgotten the round of "The Overlord returned to camp to see Yu Ji, should he take five steps or seven steps?" many years ago. At this critical moment, I eagerly raised it. This is Si Ye's seriousness in art, and it is also Si Ye's willful and jealous mind as a flesh and blood person. To fold the man down and show it to Dieyi who is not there. Throughout the movie, the Fourth Master is jealous and playful, but this is the only place, calmly revealing.
Xiaolou finally succumbed. Followed by the wonderful addition of Juxian. The cheerful and scorching words, every word and sentence are all written on the back. In this quick psychological battle, the human nature is unraveling, and the layers are fully revealed, which is extremely beautiful.
In the court, facing the prosecutor’s accusation that "Cheng used lewd words to humiliate my national dignity and destroy my national spirit" (the original text is not clearly remembered, the meaning is so), the fourth master calmly stood up and said: "Just now The prosecutor's lewd song,"-There was a moment of silence, and suddenly slammed the railing hard-"It's really ridiculous!" The audience was shocked. Si Ye also said: "The one who sang in the evening, Peony Pavilion is a trip to the garden, as we all know, is the most quintessence in Chinese culture. Why has it become a pornographic song in the prosecutor's mouth? Such a slander of the essence of Chinese opera, I don't know who specifically insulted my national dignity and destroyed my national spirit?" He said in a heavy manner, and won full applause in the courtroom.
This scene is the most positive demonstration of the hard, fierce, fierce, and mighty side of Si Ye's character. It just used very slow, very slow language, and it's very book-losing language. It is the dragon and tiger spirit, there is no need to yell. In the whole movie, Si Ye did not do any business. From day to night, holding actors, ingratiating, seducing, flirting, until the degenerate and distorted physical love. But in this one, we can imagine how calm and uncluttered this man should be and what a mainstay if he is involved in major events. It is a place where life is at stake and can trust the overall situation.
The most dazzling moment of Si Ye was perfectly displayed. Just like a sleeping beast, it doesn't seem to be what you usually look at. Once you open your eyes, there will be a glorious brilliance.
What follows is the ending-not the ending of the movie. It is the ending of the Fourth Master.
The end of the Fourth Master is death. After liberation, he was shot dead in a campaign to suppress counter-revolutionaries.
In the movie, I can't see what heinous things the Fourth Master has done. We can only hear some abstract and empty accusations, words like fish and meat people, but we don't know what kind of fish and meat method he is. His final name was "The Opera Tyrant Yuan Shiqing". In the sound of "down, down, down...", he was sentenced to "not killing is not enough for civilians to be angry"-five flowers tied up, pushed out and shot.
Fourth Master died miserably. But in the great era of changing powers, such endings are also common. Political history, overwhelmingly, does not ask the common people. It's hard to say who is and who is wrong, and the innocent is sacrificed, and it can only be recognized. We have no way of knowing whether Si Ye was wronged or not. But that kind of death must be uncomfortable (in fact, it is unbearable to die no matter what). It is the end of the heroes who betrayed their relatives. Under the tremendous power of the times, the heroes of the world are just mustard dust, watching themselves, broken into dust.
The last moment of life is full of swearing and insults. Deprived of the basic dignity of death as a person. There is no sympathetic vision. There is no nostalgic voice. You can even predict that no one will shed a tear for yourself after you die. Si Ye stood on the high stage, his slender body was pushed down forcibly, and a name badge representing shame was inserted behind his neck. His name is crossed with blood red. The qualification to be a "person" has been cancelled. In the last few minutes of panting, he was just a walking dead for people to torture and insult at will.
He was forced to humble his head down.
Death is just a moment, not terrible. But the previous mental devastation was a breakdown. He must watch himself go to death alone. Has been cast aside by the whole world.
The loud voice pronounced his death. The crowd tore his name apart. Amidst the distorted human face and boiling curses, the fourth master raised his head boldly, and was taken to the execution ground in all directions. His play is over.
The Si Ye loves drama all his life, and has always missed the stage. But at the last scene of his life, he was finally able to complete it on stage. He quit his life in the most perfect posture. That is a kind of king's pace. That was the final, unparalleled discount in the long performance. The dust settled.
Life is like a play. In the end, the fourth master lived up to the play, the play, and the fourth master lived up to it.
The situation he pursued throughout his life was finally completed in this way.
I believe that when Si Ye walked out in all directions and raised his head to see the crowd who threw his arms down and shouted at the audience-at that moment, he had no resentment towards them in his heart. In Si Ye's heart, the world is so thorough, he should know that these people, like him, are involuntary in the times. He should also know that these people may not really believe his crimes, nor may they really hate him. They shouted, they scolded, they knocked him down, and in the end, they killed him-just to protect themselves. But-that's it. In the ups and downs, everyone is cursed. The vastness-China, there is no mercy anymore. He must know.
The prosperity is gone. The merits and demerits are silent. Fourth Master's last face was calm. He went to death calmly, not brave, just seeing through.
The world is already crazy. Why not go back.
The film puts people in an extremely chaotic and cruel situation. So in the crushing and rolling of such disintegration, the despicableness of human nature is forced out, and the nobility of human nature is also forced out. The extreme environment is like a juicer, squeezing out people's blood and tears, allowing us under the screen to smell the blood and fragrance in the deepest part of life.
Si Ye finally returned. When he left the field, I felt like a hero for him in my heart.
I don't know what Si Ye was thinking in his heart at the last moment of his life. It was the red and green extravagance of this life, the sins of the past, the Beijing Opera Kunqu opera, or the lightning and thunder, holding the sword in the heavy rain and hooking up the face to face the night of the butterfly yi. Perhaps, he didn't think about anything.
In the rain, Dieyi's poignant makeup melted. Eichhornia, vermilion lips, carmine tears. Frozen into the eternal in the heart of the Fourth Master.
After seeing the drama of the Cultural Revolution, Xiaolou succumbed under persecution and exposed Dieyi in public for self-protection. And draw a clear line with Juxian. I know the human nature of that troubled world is understandable. However, I also know that if the Fourth Master is still alive, if the Fourth Master encounters the same situation, it will not be the case.
Xiaolou is always an ordinary man. Peking opera is just a skill for making a living for him. Feelings for him are just the sustenance of the happiness of the world. Therefore, he can give up all of this under great pressure from the outside world. But for Dieyi and Siye, that is the ultimate destination of life. There is no need to deliberately persist, it is already a symbiosis and coexistence. Researching pill and stone is indestructible and indestructible.
Although, in a crazy society, whether you are loyal to your soul, it will not end well. The small buildings follow the crowd, Dieyi and Si Ye insist on pursuing them. In the end, the jade is broken and the tiles are not complete. After many questions and struggles, the movie left us only a desolation.
In this life, Xiaolou was not actually Dieyi's confidant. He is just an overlord on stage. A man who longed for ordinary tea and rice, his wife and young man, endured a strong fateful feeling. The plain life he asked for was finally destroyed by this relationship.
In fact, the real overlord is Si Ye. Thousands of dollars are valued. A deep understanding. The connected soul. Until the final hero exit. He has it all.
My final definition of Si Ye is that he is a sad overlord. The overlord who was not in love with Yu Ji.
Farewell My Concubine. In this life, Overlord and Yu Ji missed in the reincarnation.
The characters of the main characters in the film, Xiaolou, Dieyi, and Juxian, are all fuzzy at the beginning. In the evolution of the film, their personalities have also grown up little by little in the plot. With the ups and downs of their fortunes, they are constantly changing. Only the Fourth Master has been a completed life since he appeared on the stage. All that has been experienced is just showing this soul here and there. Si Ye is always Si Ye. It's a mature man in the film who has been stereotyped.
Ge You's performance was just right. The low voice, the unimpressed eyes, the subtle frustration of the lines and the body language of the tall and thin body are portraying the king of drama in the country-Xiba, Yuan Siye. So I was caught off guard, accidentally, my heart seemed to be stunned-ah, just like this, gently, fell in love with him. This rock-like man.
Also heroic. There are also love for children. You will be successful again, and you will enjoy success again. He regards death as home, and his heart is as careful as a hair. He is sensitive to art, thorough, persistent, and knows the person he loves (whether it is a man or a woman)—the man in such a movie.
If there is an overlord, of course a woman would rather be a Yuji-but no. So we can only live a good life, make progress every day, don't draw our swords and wipe our necks for anyone, plan carefully for future happiness, and then cried after watching the movie, envy Dieyi.
——In this world, the Fourth Master is hard to find.
