M. Butterfly by Jeremy Irons and John Lone

记得当时看这部电影时，很喜欢。不光是因为这一回，痴情的是一个西方男人。两个人之间，居然能够演出四角恋爱，最大的欺骗之后，是最大的痴情，也只有法国人能够这样。尊龙演得都好，但大约因为编剧、导演和演员的经验、见地有限，演他的共产党员一面的时候，就显得 stereotype. 人性更感人。

电影里有一个镜头：尊龙说： Rene, I'm pregnant.

Jeremy Irons 最后演 Madame Butterfly, 感人至深。他才是真正的蝴蝶。

突然想起来，陈凯歌拍《霸王别姬》，哥哥张国荣演虞姬，张丰毅演霸王，霸王说：“蝶衣，你太入戏了！”人生如戏，戏入人生。只不知哪部电影在先。中间有抄袭的痕迹。

后来又看了这部电影的原型的电视访谈。故事里的法国人回到法国后，不久就公开了自己的同性恋身份。中国人也辗转到了法国，带着他从前号称是自己和法国人生的儿子，住在巴黎的贫民区。儿子据说是新疆人，当初大约是为了让他冒充混血儿。

中国京剧演员拒绝回答具体问题。主持人多问时，他竟穿着戏袍，咿咿呀呀地唱起来。比起来，还是电影好看。




Jeremy Irons, John Lone （尊龙）

Jeremy Irons gives another superb and underrated performance in M Butterfly, an elegant adaptation of the Broadway hit by playwright David Henry Hwang. Irons plays a French diplomat in China in 1964 who falls in love with a star of the Beijing Opera, not realizing that the entrancing performer holds secrets that will ruin his life--that the singer is a spy for the Communist government is only the beginning of the diplomat's troubles. Though M Butterfly may seem like a departure for director David Cronenberg (best known for horror and science fiction flicks like The Fly and Scanners), the themes of desire and self-deception fit comfortably into his oeuvre, alongside his adaptations of difficult novels like Naked Lunch and Crash. M Butterfly, like the more popular movie The Crying Game, is a cunning examination of love and denial. Also featuring John Lone (The Last Emperor). --Bret Fetzer
