Ele é Uma Mulher, Ela é Um Homem

It was a happy story in the movie, but a sad ending in real life. A lyric song by Leslie goes, "Singing in the wind with a smile, even bitter can become happiness". The song is charming. Leslie wrote it for a couple who are his father's friends.

Leslie Cheung has two kinds of state. He likes playing music with his father's friends, which suggested he is a gay. He can't tell anybody, especially in the past entrainment circle of Hong Kong. He likes two ladies in the movie. He choose the second. Because she is pure. She believe dreams and future. When Leslie said Africa, she looked forward to go, like a young girl. Leslie wrote the second song, "Ordinary is important".

Your typical boy meets girl (only masquerading as a guy) story. Although the story is set in a modern-day Cantonese milieu, this story has a number of parallels with Victor Victoria.

A straight man is attracted to someone he believes is a man and is worried about his sexuality. Of course his love interest is a woman so the audience can enjoy a laugh at his expense without being made uncomfortable themselves.

There is an older openly out gay man who is consulted for advice and generally accepted but he is used throughout for comedic affect and seems to be the only gay man in their immediate circle who's `getting any'.

This is another of those films that seems to be using gay themes to titillate the audience and sell tickets without actually showing any truly positive gay images but at least it's not anti-gay. Used to be there was a class of movies called `Blacksploitation' films. I'd suggest that this film and others like it (`In and Out', `Victor/Victoria') will one day be labeled `Gaysploitation' in much the same way.

On a technical level, the film is well done and enjoyable but the DVD copy had some problems. The white subtitles were often unreadable against the white backgrounds and some went by so fast that I found myself constantly pausing and replaying a scene to see what was said. The translation was a bit off as well. There were frequent misspellings and grammar errors and several of the Cantonese songs were not translated at all. What made this particularly annoying was that the subtitles only had one setting (English and Mandarin) so when these un-translated Cantonese songs were going on the Mandarin subtitles continued.

I'm a bit surprised by the relatively low rating this movie has on this website. I found this film to be both genuinely funny, and also heartfelt at the same time.

Leslie Cheung and Anita Yuen give excellent performances in this movie, playing their respective parts perfectly. Carina Lau also shines in her role as the "other" woman.

Although this trope of gender swapping and miscommunication isn't new, this version of it is especially well done. It's not over the top or too silly, but does have many moments that will make you laugh out loud, cry, and contemplate what you would do in the same situation.

If you're a fan of romcoms I definitely recommend this movie!

Rose (Lau) & Sam (Cheung) are a superstar singer and her brilliant manager. They are also lovers. Wing (Yuen), a spunky and resourceful young woman, is one of their biggest fans. When Sam holds a contest to find a new male pop star, Wing cuts her hair and ... you can guess the rest. Misunderstandings and love triangles!

"Tootsie" & "Victor, Victoria" are two movies that deal with similar issues of gender and fame, and this movie is just as entertaining. Anita Yuen is very good (& attractive) as BOTH a boy and a girl, and it's easy to see why Sam and Rose fall for her. Leslie Cheung sings a terrific song called "Chase," and Carina Lau makes a great bossy diva.

This film is my heart. I have watched it too many times and I am already familiar with it. Every time I take it out, I have to wait for it instead of watching a movie. I wait for every funny joke. Play "Chasing" in front of the piano and wait for him to say to her, "Good male and female, I know that I like you." Then I will laugh at every laugh, when "Chasing" sounds The handsome man intoxicated by his different angles will shed tears of joy in the hot kiss at the end of his confession.

I like this fairy tale, to the point where I can't say the plot briefly, I can recite every detail of it, but I won't tell it, because I can't tell more than the movie itself. If I must say, I can only summarize it in four words, the ideal of love, which is the ideal of love, aside from identity, status, appearance and gender, the only thing I care about is the matching of the soul, the important thing is only you. In a comic that I love about homosexual love, the actor has such a fierce confession, "If it were me ... whether he was a man or a woman ... whether it was a cat or a dog, or a plant OK ... the machine ... I will always find him, and ... I will absolutely love him ", every word of this paragraph is knocked on my heart, makes me smile, in the ideal of love, you are You, heaven and earth, and truth, exist when you say it, worship when you make it, and you love me if you call me. So, staying in the sea with flashing eyes, or some boobs, or a flowing white skirt, it does n't matter anymore, even the dark claustrophobia is not important. Kiss up, in the end, Liang Chen and the beautiful scenery have not failed.

Such a person performs a good show and sings a good song. His friends miss it every year after his death. The fans never forget it. Of course it is not difficult to imagine how he treated people with gentleness and loyalty during his lifetime. Thinking of this, dignity cannot be extricated.

Interviewing Chen Kexin, he said this: "In Hong Kong, whether it is his perfectionism, his private life or his acting skills, our minds are too small."

If we can leave you, how good? Do n't say anything that just passed away like this before the demise of the wind, we are equally happy to see you slowly grow old but calm and peaceful face, will not abandon you, just do n't be so tragic, always remember , Touched, and sighed that he couldn't stop himself, it was too cruel.
