霸王別姬 farewell my concubine

My birthday are coming up soon , i will be an official mid-girl ( Hong Kong slang , mid-girl mean middle age girl , one step closer to be an old woman ) .The older i get , i am more into old / classic culture , art , history , food , music , costume , architecture even Chinese medicine .Maybe i am at the age of searching for culture roots ,i am born and grow in Hong Kong until 17 then move to London . Hong Kong used to be a colony , as i remember my childhood was quite western , although i am always into old stuff !

I was playing around my utube one night , looking for something interesting to watch , once again this film " farewell my concubine "pop up again , the story is about a Beijing opera house , opera student , gender confusion , homosexual , love , old society , culture revolution ....... the main actor Leslie Cheung , one of the best entertainer /artists in Hong Kong have pass away in real life from depression suicide , which made the film more realistic,  it almost like acting the story of himself in real life but in a different era .

The film over all , best actor/actress , beautifully done story line , costume , style , setting .One of my best film all time !
