On April 1, 2003, Hong Kong film and television superstar Cheung Kwok Wing jumped in the air, making this "joke" that should have belonged to April Fool's Day come true. In 1992, Chen Kaige filmed the gay film "Farewell to the King", which was released the following year, and won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival for the first time in Chinese film, and Zhang Guorong became very popular. "Farewell to the Overlord" takes the vicissitudes of China's nearly fifty years of history as the background, and spends heavy ink to write the emotional worlds of two men, Duan Xiaolou (Zhang Fengyi) and Cheng Dieyi (Zhang Guorong), which are related to the historical process of non-enmity, sorrow and joy, life and death, and ups and downs. Two men on the stage interpret other people's lives, but they cannot control their own destiny offstage. Life is like a drama, drama is like life, some cheng dieyi who has a wrong understanding of his own identity is wishful thinking and willful, destined to be a ridiculous and poignant tragedy. Yu Xi Yu Xi Nai Nai! The gorgeous robes of traditional Chinese drama cannot hide the sensitive and fragile same-sex love, and when Cheng Dieyi's dream is shattered and he is martyred, he also let Zhang Guorong in the real world follow him.
In the mid-to-late 1990s, Hong Kong directors Wong Kar-wai and Kwan Kam-peng paid attention to gay feelings and filmed "Spring Break" and "Lan Yu". Wong Kar-wai's film and television style has always been low and mournful, coupled with the wonderful performances of Zhang Guorong and Liang Chaowei, the film "Spring Breaks" interprets the feelings between the two men as entangled and compassionate, with thousands of turns. If the plot of Wong Kar-wai's "Spring Break" as a bystander is simple, then "Lan Yu", directed by Guan Jinpeng and adapted from "Beijing Story", is even more moving. Lan Yu, played by Liu Ye, fell in love with Chen Handong, played by Hu Jun, when he sold himself for money, which was originally an underground forbidden love, coupled with the giving and payment of money, so some people commented that this was a failed movie that was a big failure. However, if the protagonist in the film is replaced by a woman, the logical integrity of the film narrative is still established, which is a deliberate attempt and a successful effort by Guan Jinpeng as an insider.
In 2005, Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" swept the awards of major film festivals around the world and swept the world. The love of broken sleeves is seen in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, from "broken sleeves" to "broken backs", a word difference, which metaphorically implies the pain of unspeakable human feelings that have been classified as different under the pressure of mainstream culture for thousands of years. Brokeback Mountain, an invisible mountain symbolized by metaphors, weighs heavily on two people who pursue love, and life cannot bear the weight. In the film, Ang Lee expresses the feelings of comrades who have always been dark and dead into a vivid romantic love story, happy but not obscene, mournful but not hurtful, the implicit hazy picture feels like a sense of depression that wants to say goodbye, the tragic tone has always shrouded the whole play, and the helplessness and sadness of impossible love are expressed to people sighing.
In 2009, directed by Lou Ye and chen Sicheng and other major love literary films,"Spring Breeze Drunken Night" was released in France, with the first half of the narrative and the second half of the lyricism. The film revolves around the emotional entanglement between multiple men and women, focusing on the contradiction between the inner world of the characters and the real world from the marginal perspectives of love triangles and polyamorous love, and the instincts and desires of human nature are interpreted in the night of the spring breeze. Love triangles have always hurt, and it is destined to be a sad journey.
All sentient beings are evil, the sea of affection is difficult to reconcile, and imperfection is beauty. When love brings confusion, it is material sorrow. This concept of "material mourning", first proposed by the Japanese scholar Honju Nobunaga, has made us have emotional resonance in Chinese gay films.
Regardless of gender, everyone has the right to chase love, and people look forward to beautiful and free emotions, rather than repressed, controlled, and in a dark corner, as the Southern Song Dynasty female lyricist said in the word "Bu Operator"——
Not love the wind and dust,
Seems to be mistaken by the leading edge.
Flowers fall from time to time,
Always the Eastern Monarch.
To go is to go,
How to live also.
If the mountain flowers are planted all over the head,
Don't ask the slave to return.
