Farewell My Concubine, based on Li Bihua's novel, is undoubtedly a myth in the 1990s, and it can also be said to be the most gorgeous movie. Leslie Cheung, ZhangFeng yi, Gong Li and Ge You all performed well.
Leslie Cheung's previous roles, gorgeous, gentle, sad, immature and alienated, have all been reconciled into Farewell My Concubine. "You can't work without being crazy." From the form to the charm, from the sad eyes between gestures to the stubbornness and perfection that disappeared under the strong light of the stage, Leslie Cheung finally completed the life course of turning a pupa into a butterfly, and from then on, people and drama were indistinguishable.
Of course, the attraction of this film is not an award of Cannes Film Festival, nor is it that men dress up as women on the stage, but that Cheng Dieyi is infatuated with career and love and keeps his promise. Cheng Dieyi, what he loves is not Duan Xiaolou, but the overlord whom Yu Ji is destined to die for. This is the fate of acting.
Inspired by Chen Kaige, Leslie Cheung finally found his other side. When Leslie Cheung came to us as a concubine, it confirmed the bizarre love legend of a generation of idols. In the play, Cheng Dieyi is an infatuated actor, and his life is like a play. His feelings for his senior brothers are more from suffering and affection, which is an eternal expectation. This feeling is entirely spiritual and platonic. Although unrealistic, it is the most shocking.
