Farewell My Concubine

很好看的电影，通过微小人群的一生，讲述了那个年代的历史。这是第二次看了

simplesmente um dos filmes mais lindos que já vi. Adeus, minha concubina é capaz de te fazer ver diferentes lados de muitas coisas. Eu sempre tive uma imagem muito superficial sobre o cinema chinês, e ainda mais sobre as peças. Tudo é tão bem encaixado que é satisfatório, a transição da infância até a fase adulta, os sentimentos muito bem representados. É um filme muito emocionante e lindo de se ver.

Facinating and classic movie.Record and show the pathetic Chinese history from Qing dynasty to CCP period

A brutal film and released during a brief period of Chinese political opening for the cultural scene. The scope is vast and like the film To Live, it can't really do justice to the enormous events within Chinese society over the fifty or so years in question. There are some brilliant aspects to the film including the female lead who really stood out and owned her scenes. However, it does grow tired in places and Chinese opera is painful to listen to. Decent but not as good as other Chinese classics of the era in my opinion.

All performers are great in particular for the leading actress, Gong Li portraying the most "Hot" mistress...she has an excellent character in this motion picture, Farewell My Concubine 1993... Nevertheless, singer-actor, Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing is also good within his inside feeling when...

Despite three hours of screentime covering nearly 40 years to develop these characters, substantial scope with set design to match, and a willingness to portray the sordid history of Communist rule in China with an appropriately grim tone, Farewell My Concubine feels rather tame. The affection between Cheung's Douzi and Fengyi's Shitou just doesn't feel convincing enough to carry a film of this kind of ambition; when crises occur and betrayals take place, they seldom carry much in the way of weight (or consequences), robbing the audience of direct involvement. Instead, the film's plot comes off much more melodramatic than it should, becoming more of a checklist of 20th-century Chinese history told through a love triangle and catty dialogue than a deeply affecting drama, despite strong performances from the leads. Still, it remains ambitious and took genuinely daring leaps with both its incorporation of homosexuality into traditionally conservative Chinese society, and its gruesome depiction of the Cultural Revolution, and deserves credit for each. Plus, it does look pretty darn good. (3/5)

If you have enough nerves, then watch it. The plot is moving slowly; however, it shows almost 50 years of Chinese history. You may even cry at the end.

After I saw this movie, I can't sleep well. Because I've never seen about this directing, and Kaige Chen showed the greatest expression through face looks of actor and actress. Especially, the homosexuality actings of Leslie Cheung. He showed a heartbreaking and pathetic performance. He had had physical and psychological abuse through the academy of Beijing's opera since he was young in the movie's story, this shows that not only Leslie Cheung but also the child actor also improved the film's perfection. Because child actors also showed good performance. it was also great to express the emotions between each character through cinematic props. One prop expresses the situation in the characters' childhood, and the conflict between the characters in China's changing times as they grow physically and psychologically. Surprisingly, it makes the characters in the movie seem to be real historical figures.

The greatest movie I've seen this year

9 8 9 10 8 10 9 10 9 9 = 91 2020/01/16 One of the best Chinese film in film history. Comprising wholesome in the aspect of history, portraying the story by strong affection of characters, Chen Kaige uses a proficient way to create a film and enhances it up to the classics film in Mandarin.
