Today, I watched "Mr. Butterfly" starring Zun Long, and I couldn't help but list it as the most perfect movie I've seen this year.
You can hardly see such restrained and erotic love in other movies. In the red era of China, a Chinese man pretending to be an actress approached the French diplomat stationed in China, and when he stole his love, he also stole his love. America's war secrets against Vietnam, and this French diplomat has no idea of his man's identity...
Often the truth is more legendary than the story, because this thing is the true story. The real prototypes are Shi Peipu and Boursicot. Aside from the real history of espionage, I just want to discuss this love movie.
In "Mr. Butterfly", the love between the two began when Song Liling, played by Zunlong, performed the tragic opera "Madame Butterfly" by Italian composer Puccini. Gao Renni, a French diplomat in China, fell in love with her at first sight. "Mrs. Butterfly" is set in Japan, and tells the story of a Japanese woman who fell in love with a US Navy officer. After marrying him, the officer returned to China. She stayed alone in the empty room for many years. Knowing the truth, she committed suicide for the rest of her life.
Based on this plot, it also indicates the love tragedy of Song Liling and Gao Renni.
"Be a gentleman and ignite the cigarette."
Gao Renni kept asking Song Liling: "Are you my butterfly?"
Song Liling said angrily: "I don't want to say it."
Gao Renni still persevered, until finally "she" admitted: "Yes, I am your butterfly."
Gao Renni has always had fantasies about mysterious oriental women. He wants a love that is pure and unswerving like Madam Butterfly, and Song Liling conforms to all his fantasies, which is why he has never doubted her true identity. s reason. Aside from the red era and Song Liling's spy status, there is pure love between men and women.
Until the French intelligence agency uncovered this secret mixed with political missions.
What moved me was that Gao Renni and Song Liling, who learned the truth, were alone on the prison van. Song Liling, who was in a suit and leather shoes, preempted her with guilt and looked at Gao Renni contemptuously.
"You still adore me, don't you? Still want me, even in a suit and a tie?"
In the half-dark light, he presents the indifference of a man and the charm of a woman, which is confusing. Then, in front of Gao Renni, he removed his clothes and showed himself naked for the first time. Not to insult Goreni and laugh at his ignorance, but to pray to him for love.
“Look at me, I’m still your butterfly.”
Even if he is a spy, even if he is a man, he still hopes that Gao Renni loves him enough.
I remembered the four letters Song Liling wrote to him when they first met. The letters were full of women's tenderness and grief. I would rather believe that this was out of sincerity rather than the posturing of a political mission.
"Did we fight? I do not know. Please come back."
“It has been six weeks since we last met. And still I have not heard from you. Sometimes I hate you, sometimes I hate myself. But always, I seemed to miss you.”
"Your cruelness is beyond believe. Don't bother to call. I have returned the way at the door."
"I am out of words. What more do you want? I have already given you my shame."
There is longing in love, and prayer in hatred, and anyone who receives these letters will not be able to bear it.
However, what Gao Renni loved was not Song Liling. He loved the Madam Butterfly-style love in his fantasy. In the end, Gao Renni realized that the real Madam Butterfly was not Song Liling, but himself. Disillusioned, Gao Renni committed suicide in prison.
This "Butterfly King" is comparable to "Farewell My Concubine". It is said that Chen Kaige intended Zunlong to play Cheng Dieyi, which is the role played by Leslie Cheung later. It's a pity to see Song Liling of Zunlong. If Cheng Dieyi is played by him, it will definitely become the perfect acting in film history.
Who has not disguised in love? Who doesn't want to take off the makeup and reveal the true face, even if it is ugly, even if it is ugly, it can still be hugged tightly?
If what you love is an illusion, the mirror will be shattered; if he returns to its original shape, after you see his imperfection and see through his mediocrity, you will still have nostalgia in your heart, and you will not have loved one in vain.
Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, and one string and one column contemplate the Chinese New Year.
Zhuang Shengxiao is obsessed with butterflies in his dreams, and he hopes that Emperor Chunxin will care for cuckoos.
There are tears in the sea, the moon and the pearl, and the warm jade in the blue field produces smoke.
This feeling can be reminisced, but it was already lost at the time.
