The movie not only changed the ending of the original work, but also adapted the ideas expressed in the original work. What Li Bihua advocated was only same-sex love and affection between children, but Chen Kaige turned this kind of emotion into a tragedy where life and ideals cannot be distinguished. Even when filming, he deliberately avoided the topic of homosexuality. Two people have different gender positions and express different things. 1. The people and ending in the novel

The people in the novel are very different from those in the movie. Cheng Dieyi in the movie is not crazy and can't survive, which makes people feel heartbroken when they watch it. Cheng Dieyi in the novel is a pure seductress who has certain feelings for many men. Take Fourth Master Yuan as an example. When Fourth Master Yuan died, he still had a trace of pity. After all, the other party was his first man. And the competition between him and Juxian for favor was more like scolding a shrew. The final outcome was that Cheng Dieyi survived, entered the factory under the arrangement of the policy, and even married a wife. In the end, I didn't wake up from the dream, I just felt that I no longer had the same glory as before. 2. The people and the ending in the movie

It is different in the movie. Cheng Dieyi cannot survive without being crazy. Juxian also showed a trace of motherly love when she competed with him for supremacy. Cheng Dieyi had his own character, and when Fourth Master Yuan died, he only showed indifference. At this time, Cheng Dieyi is noble and worthy of people's appreciation. Cheng Dieyi woke up from her dream at the end of the movie and knew that she was not Yu Ji, and the other party was not the Overlord. He simply chose suicide and ended his life. The audience felt regretful after watching it, thinking that he was beautiful after all. Everyone in the original work is very vulgar, and Cheng Dieyi is no exception. He is so vulgar that people don't feel sorry for him. 3. Movies and novels

Li Bihua and Chen Kaige have different genders and see different things. Moreover, this movie was aimed at winning awards. Chen Kaige had to make it beautiful and arouse people's excitement. So the vulgarity in the novel becomes the indistinguishability between ideal and reality in the movie, giving people a sense of empathy and making this work beautiful.
