no feminism

Billy can't let go of playing a woman because he thinks women are beautiful, a man playing a woman is an art, and a man playing a man is the norm and not worthy of praise. And the art he appreciates is highly stylized, which is exactly the same as Dan Kok's motives.

The significance of Claire is not that women perform on stage - this has long been opened in the court, and the king's mistress can play male roles - but to bring a natural way of performance to the stage. Since then, drama has replaced the stubbornness of costume details, gestures, and rhythm of lines with a high degree of restoration of life, refinement of life, and expression of life.

The bed scene between the two is more like a dance, with advance and retreat, and mirror imitation. And Billy broke through his own magic barrier and really played Othello well, especially the fear and regret after the murder, and completely put himself into the role, which is extremely rare for him. The final ending happy ending is not only that the two are together, but that he admits "I want to kill you, but you are not dead, I finally understand the scene of death". That is to say, he really loved Desdemona as deeply as Othello. This is the complete perfection, and the crooked man is really straightened.

    Three and a half. Could be better but not good enough, the heroine's acting skills are not very layered.

Stage Beauty quotes

  • Maria: Your old tutor did you a great disservice, Mr. Kynaston. He taught you how to speak, and swoon, and toss your head but he never taught you how to suffer like a woman, or love like a woman. He trapped a man in a woman's form and left you there to die! I always hated you as Desdemona. You never fought! You just died, beautifully. No woman would die like that, no matter how much she loved him. A woman would fight!

  • [singing]

    Ned Kynaston: Oh, mother, oh, mother, oh, what shall I do?/ I've married a man who's unable to screw!/ My troubles are many my pleasures are small/ For I've married a man who has no balls at all!
