The film Farewell My Concubine is mainly about the emotional entanglement between Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou, and depicts the most difficult period in history at that time in a small way, spanning a very long period, which can be called a very influential film. The success of this film has to be directly related to the film election. Leslie Cheung's acting skills can be said to be deified, but it is difficult to show the image of a beautiful man incisively and vividly. In Xiao Bian's view, this film mainly tells a very sad love story. It can be seen that Cheng Dieyi is faithful to his feelings to death, but because of the times, he can only bear unimaginable pain and finally chose to end his life by suicide.
For many directors, it is actually very difficult to make a good-looking movie, because in addition to making a movie with high box office, we need to be sure of the quality. If we are not careful, we may go astray, make the audience dislike it and make the word of mouth low. At present, most of the films made by many directors are losing money, because they want to grasp the quality of the films, but they can't cater to the market. For example, the film The Promise made by Chen Kaige is such a typical one. At that time, when it was released, many audiences didn't know what the director wanted to express, so this film became a bad film directed by Chen Kaige. But now, if you go to see this film again, you will find that you can feel something through this film.
Finally, the film Farewell My Concubine is an excellent work, and I hope future directors can shoot more excellent works to make the film market flourish.
