At the end of the story, the French man pretended to be Madame Butterfly. When his former lover left him, he also chose the path of Madame Butterfly, committing suicide and abandoning the world. Is he stupid in the eyes of the audience? Is it beautiful? If you think he is beautiful, is it because of the arrogance of the imperialists? (But he himself is the imperialist) Think he is stupid because he committed suicide for such a man who is not worthy of love?
But our actor's monologue before his death gave a different explanation for his suicide. He didn't commit suicide for the man who lied to him, because he said that man was not worthy of his love at all. But he felt that Madame Butterfly's death was beautiful. Because Madame Butterfly has exhausted her love, her life has no meaning. She is an elf born for love. When the love is gone, her life is over. Mrs. Butterfly was truly succumbed to love. She committed suicide for the love that was completely given and exhausted, not for a man who was succumbing to her. A dignified death is better than a mediocre life. So she is beautiful. After he did this monologue, he committed suicide. He became the real Madame Butterfly.
When I watched this movie with a rough idea of the plot and saw the scene where they had sex in the room, I shuddered-it was horrible! I don’t reject homosexuality. I was even interested in gay porn for a while, but it’s one thing to have sex with two naked men or a pair of naked men, and it’s the same thing when a man pretends to be a woman and another man has sex. Another thing, I felt a little disgusting at the time. But I think Zun Long's performance is still very good.
