What is Farewell My Concubine about?

Actually, I didn't understand Farewell My Concubine when I was in college. The biggest impression is gay movies.

Why is "she" used here? Because this is Cheng Dieyi's definition of herself, let's follow her.

Let's talk about the story of the movie again.

This story is about a famous actress named Cheng Dieyi, who met all kinds of people and all kinds of helpless things in her short life. She was born in a brothel and lived in a deformed environment. Because of six fingers, she was cut off by her mother in winter and later sent to study drama. It was a business of "ten minutes on stage and ten years off stage". Luckily, she met her brother "Little Stone", who was later Duan Xiaolou. Duan Xiaolou gave her protection and dependence, which was a highlight of her unhappy life. This may also be why she has a concubine's loyalty and infatuation with Duan Xiaolou, even in real life.

Duan Xiaolou is a masculine and bold man. He can protect and take care of Cheng Dieyi like a brother, and he also has his own marriage and family. Cheng Dieyi's personality is too stubborn. People who are serious about themselves can easily walk into a dead end because of love, hate and death.

It can be said that the theme of this film is love and art, and the affection between Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou transcends brotherhood, with a secret and profound homosexual color, which is also art and life. Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou interpreted Farewell My Concubine with their lives, interweaving drama with reality and infiltrating art with life.

Some netizens said that Farewell My Concubine is actually Farewell My Concubine, and the "elder brother" in reality does not obscure drama and life. The helplessness, stubbornness and betrayal in the play persisted in the faith of life, endured the pain of half a generation, and finally turned into nothingness. In reality, jump into nothingness. Born for the play and died for the play, he really did it all his life.

The greatest advantage of this film lies in its portrayal of characters and its expression of human nature.

Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou have great love and persistence for Peking Opera. They interpreted Farewell My Concubine with their lives, but in reality they have different attitudes.

Cheng Dieyi: It seems to know nothing about the world, but it is the most transparent.

Everyone knows that she loves drama, but she doesn't know that she loves it and the people who love it.

She sang the concubine, but she lived like a bully, determined and strong, tenacious and persistent. When she was defiled, when she quit smoking, when she was insulted ... so many difficult roads, she didn't flinch.

She said, "A good life, a year, a month, a day, an hour, is not a lifetime."

Duan Xiaolou: It seems transparent, but it's actually chaotic.

He sang overlord. In reality, he seems very affectionate and generous. In order to protect Juxian, you can marry her, even though she is a prostitute. In the face of Cheng Dieyi's hints and admiration, he was indifferent and puzzled.

He always wants to help and protect others, but in the end, no one can help or protect them.

Duan Xiaolou said, "Singing is crazy, but if we live, we are crazy. How can we live in this world and in this mortal pile? "

Cheng Dieyi is a real concubine and Duan Xiaolou is a fake overlord, which is doomed to be a tragedy.

Cheng Dieyi can be said to be an opera fan. He has been singing concubine all his life, which has overlapped with the role. You can't tell whether you are Cheng Dieyi or concubine, and you can't go out. Duan Xiaolou is a person who can distinguish drama from reality. When singing opera, he is the overlord. After the performance, he can immediately pull away and live a secular life. In feelings, only one person's investment, tragedy is doomed. In the last scene, Duan Xiaolou suddenly said to Cheng Dieyi, "You are a man!" This sentence, like a sword, pierced Cheng Dieyi's fantasy and persistence for many years. She finally knew that this relationship was just her one-man show, as strong as her and as desperate as her, and she chose to be a concubine.

Finally, let's review the classic lines in the film.

Butterfly clothes, you really can't live without madness! It is true that singing is crazy, but if we live, we are crazy. How can we live in this world, in this mortal world?

People, you must help yourself.

This concubine will die no matter how she plays, won't she?

I am a fake overlord, and you are a real princess!

This world is just a powdered face.

You wore a princess costume, you drew a princess costume, and you ended up as a princess.
