I have such a fantasy about Dongfang. In the depths of her almond eyes, there is still such a woman who is willing to sacrifice everything to love a man. Even if the man's love is worthless, it is better to die vigorously than to survive. In the end, I found him in a prison far away from China, my name is Renee Gallinier, aka Mrs Butterfly.

The beginning of the film seems to set the tone of tragedy for the film, Song scoffs at the story of Madame Butterfly, an Eastern woman who committed suicide for a Western man, Song is weak, beautiful, and submissive, satisfying Rainy, a French man. All the fantasies about the mysterious East, in this relationship that seems to be dominated by Rainey, have always been propelled by Song's will. Her delicate skin, long satin hair, and a low hoarse voice, suddenly. His disappearance and disappearance, unexpected children and ties, all made this western man lose his mind, willingly, his future was ruined, and he was imprisoned.

But from a woman's point of view, it seems to be particularly tangled, whether the two are in love with each other. From the story of the prototype, we have no way of knowing. But in the car, Song took off his clothes that he had not taken off for more than 20 years, and wanted to let Rainey accept the real self, Rainey chose to close his eyes, betrayal and absurdity have brought this deformed relationship to an end.

In the end, Rainey put on a lot of makeup on himself and dressed up as Mrs. Butterfly who they met for the first time. Perhaps this is the best ending for them. One committed suicide for love and the other was sent back to China.

Song is Mrs. Butterfly in Rainey's fantasy, and Rainey ends up being Mrs. Butterfly.

    Rene Gallimard: How could you, who understood me so well, make such a mistake? You've shown me your true self, and what I love was the lie, perfect lie, that's been destroyed.

    Song Liling: You never really loved me.

    Rene Gallimard: I'm a man who loved a woman created by a man. Anything else simply falls short.
