Half a month ago, I had a small gathering with Fa, while talking and laughing, I talked about the classic movie "Farewell My Concubine". After saying goodbye to my friends, I picked up this classic again, and I didn't even have a feeling.
Because of his inability to raise, Xiaodouzi (played by Leslie Cheung) was sent to Liyuan by his mother to make a living when he was very young, but he was always bullied by others. At this time, he was always helped by his big brother, Xiaoshitou (played by Zhang Fengyi). The feelings of the two gradually surpassed their brothers. Xiaodouzi was selected as the actor because of his natural beauty. However, because of his dedication to art, he was vague about whether he was a male or a female. Therefore, he was often beaten by his master, and Xiao Shibu always risked his death to help. After growing up, the two became smash hits due to co-starring in the Peking opera "Farewell My Concubine". The brother (Duan Xiaolou), who has never understood the feelings of Xiaodouzi (Cheng Dieyi), wants to marry the prostitute Juxian (played by Gong Li). For this reason, Cheng Dieyi is heartbroken, and his relationship with Duan Xiaolou has gradually become alienated. He broke. After
was the Cultural Revolution period, the two could only betray each other due to various misunderstandings. After going back and forth, Dieyi took refuge in the bureaucrat Yuan Shiqing (Ge You) in despair, but the two brothers did not escape the twists and turns of fate. After 11 years of ill-fated and setbacks, the two brothers, who had been separated for 11 years, stood on the stage again and performed "Farewell My Concubine", but Die Yi, desperate for reality, finally smiled and hung herself in Duan Xiaolou's arms and ended her acting. Career...
1. Knowing each other, knowing each other, and connecting each other.
I believe that most people think that Duan Xiaolou's feelings for Cheng Dieyi are not love, but family affection and brotherhood... But is this really the case? And my answer is: I think he has love for Cheng Dieyi, but this love is nakedly lost to the cruel reality...
Cheng Dieyi’s feelings for Duan Xiaolou are self-evident. . The two of
trained hard together since childhood and accompanied each other. After growing up, they also became famous characters together, but Cheng Dieyi entered the play, and his emotional recognition of Duan Xiaolou is Yu Ji's dedication to Overlord. But Duan Xiaolou was very sober, from beginning to end, he knew how to compromise with reality.
When he was a child, he saw Cheng Dieyi mispronounced his lines, and almost missed the chance to give Grandpa Zhang a performance. With tears, he put the hot pipe in Dieyi’s mouth cruelly because he knew that there was only this way. Only by doing this can they get the opportunity to perform this time and escape the punishment of the master. In order to survive, to protect themselves, and to live well, Duan Xiaolou will always be a realistic person, as he said to Cheng Dieyi," You are not crazy and you are not alive." His Duan Xiaolou is not the same as Cheng Dieyi. He is a man who lives outside the scene, but there is nothing wrong with living in reality. Then, outside of reality, does he love Cheng Dieyi? ?
actually started, I also think that Duan Xiaolou gave Cheng Dieyi only brotherhood,
, but later I discovered that when Xiaolou got married, he would still run for Cheng Dieyi and take care of him, no matter what the nature. The feelings of the two people are special to each other, and there is a kind of bondage that others cannot understand.
2. Three people's love-hate entanglement
Duan Xiaolou is lucky, not only Cheng Dieyi admires him, there is also one person who is willing to be with him resolutely for him, that is the prostitute Juxian.
may be seen by everyone. In the whole film, most of what Juxian does is for himself and Duan Xiaolou. From the very beginning, Cheng Dieyi was full of hostility and jealousy towards Juxian, because he felt that Juxian took the Xiaolou, but later when he got along with Juxian, he had a different feeling towards Juxian. , Is a kind of attachment to the mother. Especially when he was rehabilitated from drug addiction, Juxian held him and coaxed him to sleep even more vividly. Cheng Dieyi was sent to the Peking Opera troupe by her mother since she was a child, and Juxian and Cheng Dieyi's mother were both prostitutes, which gave him an illusion. Juxian felt like his mother.Therefore, his feelings for Juxian are very contradictory, wandering in hostility and attachment.
After being together with Juxian, Duan Xiaolou became a sleek and sophisticated actor. She changed Duan Xiaolou. Without Juxian, Duan Xiaolou might have ruined her future because of recklessness and impulse. However, she also destroyed Duan Xiaolou, she turned Duan Xiaolou into the man in her heart, but ruined the overlord in Cheng Dieyi's heart.
So, I think to some extent, Juxian made Duan Xiaolou and ruined him. It can be said that success is also Xiaohe, and failure is also Xiaohe.
Later, Juxian died, and her love was eventually exchanged for "No love" by Duan Xiaolou! Does this kind of despair make her feel that after all, her efforts can't be exchanged for all of Xiaolou. Half of
Xiaolou is destined to belong to Dieyi!
3 After 11 years, Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou met again. This was the last time they sang "Farewell My Concubine". At the moment when the Overlord turned around, he drew his sword and killed himself. This time, it was not Yu Ji, but Cheng Dieyi who squatted herself. This was the climax of the tragedy of the whole tragedy. With the muffled sound of his fall, the movie ended quietly...
Why did Cheng Dieyi die? Because this era cannot tolerate his madness from beginning to end. Duan Xiaolou is always angry that he is so crazy, but he still desperately crushed his own flesh and blood into Peking Opera, crushed his heart to love, in fact, no one has really loved him, because he is not in the world. Vulgar, as Duan Xiaolou said, " I am a fake overlord, and you are a real Yuji." He wants to be a real Yuji, and he will do it forever.
Overlord can survive, but Yu Ji must die.
1. Life is like a play, a play is like life
Every time I watch "Farewell My Concubine", the feeling is different, with mixed flavors. Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi were brothers who grew up together when they were young, but their understanding of the relationship between drama and life is fundamentally different. Duan Xiaolou knows that drama is not life, but Cheng Dieyi is a human being. Speaking of Cheng Dieyi, she suddenly thought of her brother Leslie Cheung.
Some people say that "Farewell My Concubine" made Leslie Cheung, and Leslie Cheung also made "Farewell My Concubine"; Leslie Cheung is Cheng Dieyi, and Cheng Dieyi is Leslie Cheung. Undoubtedly, the film "Farewell My Concubine" has laid a strong mark in Leslie Cheung’s life track. The Cheng Dieyi he played in the film is very similar to himself, perhaps because it is too similar to Leslie Cheung. Cheng Dieyi, but the imprint of Cheng Dieyi has long been left on him...
What do you think of the relationship between Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou?
