?The film "Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes Palme d'Or and the International Film Critics Award in 1993. The only golden palm for Chinese-language films, Chen Kaige can boast of capital for many years. This film can indeed be the pinnacle of Chinese-language films, with Peking opera as the main plot development. It is more artistic and more impressive than "Alive", especially Leslie Cheung's passionate performance.
Every time I talk about classic movies, I have to mention my brother Leslie Cheung's movie "Farewell My Concubine". Both the actors' acting skills and the quality of the film have been well received by people in the industry. Regarding its artistic level, What do you think? Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine" lived in the Republic of China, the Japanese-Puppet period, and the Cultural Revolution after liberation. His life experience was already miserable, and his fate was ups and downs. "Seeing him building tall buildings, watching him entertaining guests, watching his buildings collapse. "", Leslie Cheung's performance of Cheng Dieyi was so natural that he won numerous awards.
The failure of "Farewell My Concubine" at the Oscars also made Leslie Cheung miss out on the possibility of competing for the Academy Award for Best Actor, the highest honor in the international film industry. At the same time, Leslie Cheung was one of the very few Hong Kong stars who made it clear that he was close to the mainland in the early 1990s. He came to the mainland early to film, and did not want special treatment. He ate and lived with the mainland actors and mingled with them. He even got to know them well enough to mediate family disputes for the mainland staff during the filming of "Farewell My Concubine". He has publicly expressed his love for the Five-Star Red Flag, his admiration and yearning for the motherland more times. He has also filmed theme films such as "Red Lovers" and starred as an underground party member. As a Hong Kong artist before the return of China in 1997, how can he be so patriotic? rare?
I am a manly man, not a coquettish woman. The film is both tender and pointed. If too many people weren't paying attention to the emotional entanglement between Dieyi and Xiaolou, I'm afraid it would also be banned. That last sword in the darkness fulfilled the wishes of so many people. The audience was moved not so much by the story of joys and sorrows itself, but by the history behind the story that the Chinese people collectively recalled. Without the ups and downs of the historical background, the reality of human nature cannot be brought out, and it cannot constitute a poignant story.
