Review of Farewell My Concubine (1993) by Wendy K — 08 Jun 2013
Honestly, I think I am too young to fully appreciate this movie for what it is. It is a beautiful epic love story about three people, their love triangle, and its ill fate... But because their love story is so deeply rooted into China's political history throughout the 1900s, I felt like I wasn't able to fully appreciate the movie the way it should be appreciated.
.. Idk. Perhaps if I was older - or just more educated and less ignorant - and understood the significance of each of the events that happened in the movie, I would have enjoyed this film more. But, that said, all three actors did a friggin' amazing job.
Leslie Cheung was brilliant. His character just goes through the story so painfully, his ending was long called for. But yeah. Beautiful story etc., but I couldn't relate to the plot. Oh, and it was really effing long, Jesus.
