Although the film version is full of absurdities, who can really point out what is absurd and what should be logical.

It's just a worldly fetish.

Maybe it's their stories, not the looks, not the sex that should be entangled.

That may be the public's preference, just like discussing one man and the wretchedness of liking another man.

Don't you think this dream is too beautiful to make people sigh?

In the film, it is related to that era invariably.

Every country has its own dark times, but I don't believe in the concept of a country.

Where there is cohesion, there will be disputes.

Humans are the stuff of power struggles.

The most terrifying things are people.

The Cultural Revolution, Farewell My Concubine, Chen Dieyi and Song Liling, the fate of the actors has always been marginal and metaphorical.

Just like a picture of an erotic palace, everyone likes it, but no one likes it.

In times, it is impossible to have individuals.

Dreaming of Paris has also brought Paris during that period of time. The student tide and the left wing are for the country or to answer the call. Confusion, confusion, we, no matter who, are tools of the times.

And love, there are three fears.

Politics, fate, reality.

Love can make people intoxicated, like the confused fox of Liao Zhai, some people are willing to be confused, some people know the truth, but they think that this world is not even comparable to this beautiful and beautiful family.

Death is not to be feared, and love is forever entangled in inexplicable.

If he fell in love with a woman, should he accept her as a man?

I don't think so, it's not love.

deceit, lie.

Or, this love, from the beginning, is the ideal love.

Because love is only love itself.

This play should be stopped at the right time.

Let everyone laugh at this stupidity, and let yourself believe in love.

It's ridiculous, as if it's not enough to bear everything.

And before a person dies, he still believes that he has loved.

Choose your own ending.

This dream was actually a good one.

M. Butterfly quotes

  • Song Liling: The Oriental woman has always held a certain fascination for you Caucasian men. Is that not true?

    Rene Gallimard: Yes, but that fascination is imperialist, or so you tell me.

    Song Liling: Yes, it is always imperialist. Sometimes... sometimes it is also mutual.

  • Song Liling: I am slightly afraid of scandal.

    Rene Gallimard: What are we doing that's scandalous?

    Song Liling: I'm entertaining you in my parlor.

    Rene Gallimard: Where I come from, that would hardly be construed as...

    Song Liling: You come from France. France is a country living in the modern era, perhaps even ahead of it. China is a nation whose soul is firmly rooted 2000 years in the past. What I do - even pouring tea for you now - it has implications. Please go. Please, Monsieur Gallimard...
