A classic is always a classic brother is always a brother

Farewell My Concubine is the most heartwarming movie I've ever seen. Every move of the characters, every gesture and gesture, is full of the style of that era, and melancholy and sentimentality flow slowly under the exquisite costumes. Chen Kaige, who knows the best opera among the fifth generation directors, has skillfully outlined the traditional Chinese atmosphere of the film. Love in a sensitive period embraces both the times and the individuality. A love from the beginning to the end, a love without regrets. There is no distinction between people's dramas, people's dramas are like dreams, and Dieyi's dream has lasted most of his life. The human world is nothing but a face that has been wiped with powder. Lonely fragrant butterfly clothes, peerless elegance. Apart from the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the town couldn't think of any award worthy of "Farewell My Concubine"; except for Leslie Cheung, the town couldn't think of who would be the best candidate to play Cheng Dieyi.

    Thanks to the original work and to the person who recommended Chen Kaige to be adapted into a movie. This is the peak of Chen Kaige in the past few decades. Who said that Cheng Dieyi is the real Yuji, Cheng Dieyi is clearly the real overlord. It is said that Duan Xiaolou is the overlord of Dieyi, and the overlord is clearly like the senior brother in Dieyi's heart.

    Five points. One tone, one painting, one scene, one frown and one smile, two corners, four eras, half a century. Needless to say, the actor's acting skills, my brother blends with the characters every time, and I can't tell whether it is Leslie Cheung or Cheng Dieyi. Director Niu, the pinnacle of Chinese cinema
