Deceived by Love Beautifully Packaged

Full of sexual tension at the beginning, Zunlong's androgyny is not only in appearance (including but not limited to clothing) but also in voice, and directly penetrates into the character.

I originally wanted to watch be recently, because Mary Sue was too much to panic. As a result, this film killed the Mary Sue cells that I accumulated two days ago without saying a word. Die clear and clean. Fortunately, I spoiled myself in advance, otherwise I really couldn't keep watching it in one go.

Because I really feel sorry for the French diplomats and Chinese actors, they all live in a deception that is beautifully packaged by love. One deceived himself to find the beautiful seductive oriental goddess in his dream, and the other deceived himself to have a true lover and confidant.

As for me off-screen, I have been carefully holding a heart, and as their relationship develops, I am very afraid. I can't bear to see them tear the last wrapping paper and see the naked man inside.

But what love was a lie, a perfect lie, it's been distorted. I'm a man, loved a woman, created by man. But I feel bad for this "fool".

M. Butterfly quotes

  • Rene Gallimard: Our world is changing. We French lost our war in Indochina because we failed to learn about the people we sought to lead. It's natural, therefore - correct, even - that they should resent us. How could they do otherwise, when we refused to treat them like fellow human beings?

  • Rene Gallimard: The Oriental woman: when she's good, she's very very very good. But when she's bad, she's Christian!
