The whole movie looks a little depressing. In fact, I have always wondered why Gao didn't realize that Song is a man. If we use the saying in the movie, it is probably that men know how to make a man fall in love with a woman, so for so many years , Song has always thought about how to pretend not to be seen through from a male perspective, but from a personal point of view, Gao actually knows it, but because of love, and because he knows that Gao also loves him, so he is willing to be deceived, in fact, he is also deceiving himself, after all Sometimes self-deception is joyful, and in the end the lie is pierced, so that the great tragedy is also because of the difference between the two ideologies of the East and the West. They can't choose this.
If they were all ordinary people with no political background, I believe the whole story would be more personal and perhaps more nuanced.
In fact, let's think about it again, whether it is that era or now, if we love a person, what does it mean to love him? I think what is conveyed in the film is a little tragic. Although it is the result of various complicated reasons, the biggest one is undoubtedly the deception of gender, but what is gender about love? Gao Mingming loved Song and called himself Mrs Butterfly when he died. Does a great love have to end in tragedy in order to show its greatness? To love someone, you can cross the mountains, your face will grow old, and the years will pass. In the end, it is just a person who still shines with the same personality. In this lifetime, it is rare and lucky to meet a personality who can fall in love.
