Farewell My Concubine, Film

Barbara Benito
Oct 14, 2011 

       China has the one of best rich culture and the more interested history. The china  natural medics and other traditional habit helped a lot people in the world. We’ve learned a lot from them and continue to learn to this day. Today I am writing about the Farwell Concubine film that I have been assigned to watch and write this five hundred word essay. This story is about two famous artists who met as apprentices in the Opera Beijing and stayed friends for over 50 years. These two boys from the city of Beijing would perform on the streets for coins. In that training school those boys received hardships, physical and mental abuse from their teachers or ‘masters’ as they preferred to be called. For example, one of them had to play a role as a woman. He was ashamed and probably wanted a male role; they would force him to say he was a woman. In doing so the boy was forced to practice his lines day in and day out. If he would get them exact he would get harsh punishment, to the point where he would bleed. In another scene there was a boy who decided to escape the training school, all he wanted was to watch a real opera and eat candid apples. He manages to make a run for it, but he returns after seeing a   performance by an opera master that makes him question. How many beatings must these men receive just for that? One he arrived at the training school his master goes on to beating his mater, just before they get to him he shoves a couple of candid apples down his throat and commits suicide with one of the ropes hanging from the roof 
      Between poverty and maltreatment increased feeding children love. They were rich famous artists and one of them married and when things go very well, the second Japanese war and violence ended the girl's pregnancy and separated the men for a while. Douzi is imprisoned for doing a performance for the Chinese. After, Chinese won the war they returned to present those Opera as always. While, the Chinese government rejects the Opera claiming to the Opera revolutionary and communist revolution is very bad for theirs, So accused them of being traitors. Moreover the desperate moments of one of men makes you deny the love he had for his wife and accept publicly that his wife was a prostitute. He also proclaimed that he never loved her and wants nothing to do with her in hearing this she is saddened and leaves him forever. So the triangle passionate was finishes. Those, when there are only two, and finally the government of China undertook than Opera was classical, culture was only roots, finally, when everything is already Douzi is called the men was represents a women in The Concubine Opera. In middle of the presentation and they public of these, he commits suicide. In conclusion, they are victim of the society, poverty, and the love. This  story could seem unreal, but actually  is very common  because many people to stay without parents or couples looking for love right where it should be and these tend to be more passionate solve and given that no other. I think because this relation was prohibited.
