It seems that the diplomat has more losses and greater sacrifices. After all, he has been deceived, but his love is the most fake. It may be because he is based on an illusion. Not really, he truly loves this man who fits the stereotype of white men of Chinese women back then. As for Song Liling, she is the one who weaves lies, but she feels that she truly loves this very white man, just like he is behind a single mirror, looking at the person standing in front of him, obviously talking, but He also clearly knew that what the other party saw was not himself, but the fantasy in the mind of the diplomat depicted by Song Liling for him in this one-sided mirror.

    It was actually a movie of the same year as "Farewell My Concubine". In the story, Cronenberg got to his obsession with "alienation", and this obsession became an ambiguity, which is similar to the feeling that Rene put on Li Ling. of. The movie is only 105 minutes long, skipping a large part of the two people living together in France, I would rather believe that Rene is willing to deceive himself for love, rather than he is really stupid, add 15 minutes to make this clear, the score will be much higher.

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!
