J'ai écrit un papier sur l'expression de genre de Leslie Cheung à travers son personnage de Cheng Dieyi dans Adieu ma concubine. J'en profite pour évoquer mon rapport à l'œuvre en tant que personne transgenre et l'héritage culturel d'un artiste qui a tant donné à la communauté LGBTQIA+ de Hong Kong.

What movie moment made you exclaim…

“THIS IS CINEMA” 🖤
Farewell My Concubine. The character Cheng Dieyi, an actor in Beijing opera who plays female roles, being held to a fire and forced to recount the art in a struggle session with the Maoist revolutionary army. Dieyi is in full makeup — white base, pink/purple eyes, and an ornate beaded headdress. The subtitle reads "Obliterate all class enemies".

omw to a sold-out showing of the 4k restoration/director's cut of #霸王别姬, i wish me a very lots of kleenex during its speedrun through the worst parts of 20c history. (fortunately this theatre has a full bar, i always have to tell the bartender how to make a brandy alexander but it's always worth it)

I mean, just look at this
Leslie Cheung as Dieyi, standing in front of a red sign smoking a cigarette and wearing a wide-brimmed black hat, the hat game is very strong Juxian and Dieyi are on opposite sides of the frame, in a jail cell. Each is lit from a high window. On the right, Juxian stands in front of a chair holding a red bouquet. Dieyi is seated on the left with his hands in his lap. A theater full of broken benches, with several figures vaguely visible on a stage. Dieyi, in full concubine costume, applies King makeup to Xiaolou. A red flag and upraised fists can be seen in the background.

My ★★★★½ review of Farewell My Concubine boxd.it/9mSnlz

Tyranny, occupation, revolution, Communism, Peking Opera survives across 7 decades.

Leslie Cheung is incredible as man devoted to art, even as cruelty of world threatens to destroy him. Love & survival.

My choice (option A)

Farewell My Concubine (1993) depicts China's tumultuous history through the 20th century, focusing on two young Peking opera actors' maturation on and off the stage

Detailed, elaborate, stunning costumes, magnificent visuals. Also pretty LGBTQ, how did this get made??

&: "Cheung gives an extraordinarily nuanced performance as Dieyi, conveying [his] vulnerability and isolation even at the height of his stardom. Cheung does not simply play Lady Yu; he plays Dieyi playing Lady Yu, always infusing the role with the different shades of Dieyi’s loneliness and longing."

2023 watch #634: Farewell My Concubine (1993)

A gorgeous epic of friendship, betrayal, and personal/national transformation with the cattiest bitch in the Peking Opera.

1 - Farewell My Concubine (1993)

Cheng Dieyi the diva of all divas. I loved the complex relationship between the three main characters as we followed them through such turbulent historical times. Beautiful makeup and costumes and a heartbreaking story.

Things get cunty
Juxian's madam sits next to a display of jewelry. The caption reads "Let me tell you something. Once a whore, always a whore." Dieyi, looking gorgeous in full concubine mug. Caption reads 'I haven't learnt the opera "Gangster King and his Whore"'

Ouiii et c’est assez amusant (enfin si on peut dire ça comme ça) car il y a quelques jours je pensais à Leslie et à quel point son interprétation de Dieyi était profondément personnelle et intimement lié à sa propre identité 🥲

👩‍🏫 Initialement, j'avais prévu d'étoffer le parallèle avec Maggie Cheung et son rôle dans Center Stage pour parler des destins en cascade, mais ça aurait dilué le propos de l'article déjà assez costaud par ailleurs.

Classic films (and new classics).
Still from Farewell My Concubine 霸王別姬 with Leslie Cheung as Cheng Dieyi staring into the camera in full stage make-up and dramatically backlit by stage lights. Still from The Seventh Seal, featuring the chess game with Death. Still from It's a Wonderful Life with George Bailey (Frank Capra) being embraced by his family. Still from North by Northwest, with Cary Grant adjusting his sunglasses and looking very snooped out as he sits across from Eva Marie Saint in a diner car.
