If you look closely at the film reviews of "Farewell My Concubine", they all look at the whole movie from a macro perspective, or for some reason, I dare not say something, but I think that in film reviews, historical facts cannot evade the problem, and they are all kind. Let me briefly talk about my views.
Li Bihua's original work begins with a sentence-bitch is ruthless, and acting is meaningless.
here to talk about the two sex workers inside, don't feel anything... One is Xiao Shitou's mother, the other is Juxian played by Gong Li. We have no way to verify why Xiaodouzi’s mother sent him to Guanjiaban to learn opera, but this woman cruelly cut off Xiaodouzi’s extra fingers and wanted him to enter the theater. This shows how determined the attitude is, maybe it’s true. Is it what the film says-Peking Opera has reached its most glorious era? In any sense, Xiaodouzi's mother is ruthless. In the movie
, Xiaodouzi always appears in a state of silence and thinking. Xiaodouzi learned the principles of singing and being a man in the process of learning opera. He would rather die than sing "I am a female Jiao'e", which completely reveals that Xiaodouzi is naturally stubborn. But when Xiao Shi put a pipe into Xiaodouzi's mouth, it was too rough, and the last line of defense of this belief collapsed. Xiaodouzi, who finally sang "I am a female Jiao'e", has completely entered another personality, Xiaodouzi has moved towards the other end with the same persistence. Because he is not insane or adult, and lacks consideration of all reality, he only hopes that He Duan Xiaolou will continue to do it forever. From the first time I slept with my senior brother in Xiao Dongye to the first time I sang "Farewell My Concubine" with the senior, Xiaodouzi knew that he wanted to be the Yuji for a lifetime and stay with the overlord. So when he was performing solo "The Drunken Concubine", it was Yuhuan's body that fell on the stage, but Yu Ji's despair on his face. Eleven years later, after finally waiting for the reunion, Duan Xiaolou was not the kind of person he imagined, nor the kind of person he expected. Decades of obsession was crushed by epiphany at this moment.
Xiaodouzi was still masculine at first. He insisted on his own point of view for the punishment of the master, but the elder brother gradually made him recognize himself, "I am a girl Jiao'e, and I am not a boy man." It was so distressing when he said it, but because of this, he knew from the heart that he could sing such an excellent Yu Ji and became the king of Xiaolou in one fell swoop. No one can replace this position, a unique position. . It was also a pity that I was too deep into the play, and finally swung a sword to kill myself.
The beginning of the movie echoes with the end. After seeing the end, I can’t help but go back to the beginning and watch it again. This is a very good historical movie, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, to the new China, reflecting the current social situation at that time and also witnessing the prosperity and decline of Peking Opera culture. What impressed me most was the period of the Cultural Revolution. The blind removal of the four olds was simply a radiance to traditional culture!
If you want to really understand the movie "Farewell My Concubine", you can't just analyze the storyline. If we only analyze the storyline, we will only see the fall of a generation of famous actors in the movie, the struggle of the little characters in the era, and so on. We will not really see the life in this movie.
