    Farewell My Concubine

    The defeated king who once was the mightiest, holding on dear life for him and his beloved horse but mostly for his horse that he couldn't even see him killed in front of his eyes he had to kill himself using his own sword, the way they perceived the loss of the horse and the king is truly inspiring for the work they'd later do (which was even more tragic than the opera itself) it indeed was a traumatic experience…

    من الفقر إلى الفقر ومن البداية إلى البداية، حلقة من المعاناة، تمر بيها عوائل هواي سببها التربية الخطأ اللي متأثرة بعوامل اجتماعية وسياسية وعادات وتقاليد تدمرهم بالكامل، ليلى تذرف الدموع على مستقبل الأطفال المجهول خوف منها على ان يعانون نفس ماعانوا ظل كل هالظروف اللي دمرتهم وعلي رضا يخفي نحيبه على والده الكهل بصوت ضحكات الاطفال

    In my life, I was Noel Gruber who worked at Taco Bell
    In Uranium City, Saskatchewan
    But, in my dreams, I played a different role
    I was Monique Gibeau in post-war France
    A hooker with a heart of black charcoal
    I write poems to burn by firelight
    Drink champagne and guzzle gin
    Good girls call me "The Town Bicycle"
    Don't knock it 'til you've tried my life of sin
    Oh, Claude, my pimp, knows never mess with me
    Last prick…

    I love how surreal lynch's films are. This movie is a meditation on the nature of dreams and the blurred lines between fantasy and reality. The film can be seen as a reflection of Hollywood's dark underbelly and the price of fame, as well as a commentary on the way we construct our own realities through storytelling.
