6/10. Cronenberg failed to create the kind of superficial warmth that actually requires a lot of deep dramatic tension. The oriental setting is as simple and textureless as the second-hand curtain. The foreshadowing is there, but it is more hidden, such as Zunlong's sentence "Men know how women should react". The ending may be the biggest highlight. In the passionate fantasy, pretending to commit suicide, it is strange that it is not reminiscent of "Farewell My Concubine".

Only sigh. Determining whether to love or not love will only lead to more heartbreak. Different from the shocking absurdity of the prototype, this is a deeply affectionate tragedy. In the end, isn't that the case with human love? It's a mirror image, deceiving oneself, and wanting to love the phantom in his heart, but he doesn't know anything about the real person. Some loves are destined not to end well since the day they met.
