Regardless of male and female related taboos

For Chinese audiences who are familiar with "Blessings of Love", "Yanter" has already lost half of the fun in the story.

But having said that, even though Mrs. Barbra Streisand holds high the banner of feminism, this scene is just as valid if it is put on a man-in such a country where the younger brother commits suicide, it will affect her marriage with her sweetheart. Maybe it is. It's unknown if Brother Tian committed suicide and couldn't study anymore? Let’s open up my mind a little bit more. If a young man cannot study in his hometown because his brother committed suicide, he leaves his hometown and hides in the convent... It seems... the green image of Teacher Tony Oki suddenly appeared in his mind.

So where is the attraction of this film? I think it is a challenge to taboos. "Don't let me study, I just want to study." It contains the pleasure of challenging taboos. The screenwriter is very bad-when he learned that Yantel was a daughter, the male lead was hysterical and terrified, and finally hugged and kissed, the whole Jewish horse Jingtao. There is a sharp contrast between the male protagonist’s fear of challenging the world and the female protagonist’s breaking through taboos. Does a man go into hysterics when he sees his "little brother" who has been in love with a long time suddenly becoming a daughter? There is a well-known counterexample in Chinese literary works-"Ping Zong Xia Ying". Even after revealing his identity, Zhang Danfeng still called Yun Lei a "little brother", even when he had a high fever and spoke nonsense. Of course, this is not universal, one possible example is the universal joke - "? If you find that you wake up one day become a woman how to do," "let the brothers cool cool"!

Finally talk about the film's Perception, Rembrandt’s painting style and Barbara’s singing are beautiful, but I don’t like the selfishness of his old man-when the two of them were in the same bed for the first time, Yantel almost fell out of bed with his back facing the male lead. I laughed at the scene because of the huge gap between the appearance of the character and the actor. A forty-year-old person is still pretending to be tender with Apple. It is hard not to think of Aunt Ximen as a Chinese audience. No wonder "South Park" has to spare no effort to go black.

You said that if Brother Chun was born a few decades earlier, how good he would have played this role.
