Fucking logic

This is a movie I didn't expect before watching it. Before watching the film, I have read the brief introduction, and I think this story is a bit weird. It is illogical to share the bed with my lover for many years without knowing the true gender of the other person.
However, the label adapted from this story "real people, real things" makes people want to see what happened.
But anyway, before looking at it, I didn't have any hope. I think the female appearance of Zunlong on the poster is not beautiful, and his lines are too tough. Far less than Leslie Cheung, changing her clothes makes people feel like a girl.
However, after watching the whole film, I started to feel shocked. The dragon in the film, the walking posture, and the look of people are artificial and natural. He is always cautious and stretches out his tentacles, afraid of not enough and too much. Expressing that kind of love is both formal and lingering, true and deceitful. So humble, and so tough. It is often forgotten that it is actually a dragon, a guy who is good at acting like powerful men like the emperor and the boss, and a real man.
Song Liling finally took off all his disguise. The dragon in the film was naked, and he still had the charm of a Song Liling woman. He knelt in front of Renner, still so humble, he held Renner's hand in both hands. Just like before, like a god holding him. He is still looking forward to it. But Reina always loved women, and he ran away hastily. The face of the dragon who was crying and tearless under the camera slowly dropped.
Many people blame Song Liling for being cruel and wanting to peel off the last layer of disguise. But what is cruel is not Rainer, he always loves a phantom that does not exist. He couldn't accept the real Song Liling, and it would be in vain to fight for it.
In the end Reina suicided and cut the carotid artery, looking terrifying. Song Liling was sent back to the country, Zun Long still had that expression, seemingly unhappy or sad, and the waves were surging in her heart.
I still can't help but compare Zunlong with Leslie Cheung. Leslie Cheung's Cheng Dieyi has become a madman, forgetting that he is in the scene and succumbing to death. Everything is a matter of course. Leslie Cheung's appearance in women's clothing is also so natural, as if he was born like this, there is nothing to be picky about, but it's a matter of course. He is idolist.
But Zunlong is the real strength faction, and his appearance is not dominant, but his interpretation completely makes up for the lack of appearance. It seems that she is just a woman who looks like a female man, her soul is all hers, her character is also hers, it's as if her body is also hers, and what's full of her body and mind is all her delicate tenderness.
But such a woman is actually a man.
This story, as far as the plot is concerned. I still find it illogical. But let logic go to hell. I like it!
