About Butterfly

The first time I saw the movie "Mr. Butterfly" was in Annie's "The Flower of the Other Side", and I was deeply attracted by the man with nasolabial folds that she portrayed. It can be said that baby Anne has a magic power that poisons a large group of people, including me, so I always go to the movies and books she mentioned, such as "She's Lonely than Fireworks", such as "Mr. Butterfly" .

Anne described JEREMY IRONS as follows in her book:

"Although JEREMY IRONS looks like a lonely man. He has the narrow and thin face that is common in the UK. The deep lines on the sides of the nose extend to the corners of the lips. In the book of fate, such lines represent pain and obscurity, and they are called nasolabial lines."

"In a city with continuous rain, there is no sunshine all year round. Every tree will grow damp mold. He looked down on the street at night. Walking alone. Neurotic beauty. Long fingers and pale face. Most of the movies starring in the lead are prone to fall into morbid obsessions. He is a person who likes to throw himself in. Although he looks elegant, he still often collapses to the end. His lust is the night The tidal water in his, surging and blind, but not dirty. Just that silent despair, wisps, wisps, emanating from his skin, from his hair, from his fingers. Permeating the air. Disappearing in time in."

I've only seen two JEREMY IRONS movies. The man in "Lolita" who fell in love with his daughter and indulged everything and the man in "Mr. Butterfly" who fell in love with a man and finally had nowhere to go, was enough to make his image clear in my mind.

Speaking of movies.

After watching the movie, I realized that some of the portrayals of Annie in the book were unreal. For example, she said: "The Butterfly King is from the man with the nasolabial folds, standing quietly under the cool night of Beijing in the 1960s, watching an old man catch fireflies by the well." Actually, it wasn't by the well. Firefly, but caught the newly hatched dragonfly on the bank of the moat. There is another "under the watchful eyes of the prison, he inserted a knife into his abdomen." It should be that he slit his own throat with a mirror. Finding out these flaws is not to explain anything, I just want to restore the essence. After all, Annie wrote only novels, not movie reviews. Elsewhere she said it very well, "The heart-wrenching love is true, only happiness is false. That once thought that the flowers are full of flowers... Love is just a fate set." "His love, his son, The woman he loves deeply, his life in China... It turned out to be just an illusion that was doomed to shatter. Only death can counteract the illusion." The

woman in the movie, the woman whom Butterfly loves so much, is of course a man. Played by dragon. I watched "The Last Emperor" starring him a few days ago, but I didn't see it as the same person at first. Zunlong in the movie is really charming, and I have to use it to remind me of Leslie Cheung's performance of Dieyi Cheng. In fact, the two films have some similarities, the same era background, the same gay theme, and the same cruel ending.

I should also mention the opening of the movie, which should include all Chinese characteristics, facial makeup, Chinese painting, calligraphy, musical instruments, architecture... It's really amazing!
