Jeremy is so sexy and such a great actor. But his movie loves in the 90's seem to ALL be screwed up. Damage, Lolita and now he's gay! God, he just can't catch a break!

he just didnt want to believe that she was a boy. I think

[SabonninFilms]

weird movie

[darqjade]

@germansuse it's not. it's considered romantic drama. Just because David Cronenberg directed it, doesn't automatically make it horror. 

[darqjade]

movies like this really confuse me. HOW could you not know it was a boy if you were having sex with the person??!!

[germansuse]

Can this movie belong to the Horror genre?

This is the best movie ever! it's so alike gender performance theory of Judith Butler, so deconstructionist theory of Jacques Derrida. And during the trial when it is known by everyone that they lived and made love together so many time without striping her it reminds me of Michel Foucault saying that we should produce new pleasures, new ways to satisfy ourselves, new ways to live, to love and to fuck in order to scape from stablished power in interpersonal daily life.

""Rule Two: As soon as a Western man comes into contact with the

East he’s already confused. The West has sort of an international rape

mentality towards the East . . .The West thinks of itself as masculine —big

guns, big industry, big money— so the East is feminine—weak, delicate,

poor . . . but good at art, and full of inscrutable wisdom— the feminine

mystique."

by David Henry Hwang, author of M. Butterfly

[jotogoloso]

"If the play serves as a means to counter-resist the Orientalist vision of and

domination over the East, then the art of resistance is embodied by Song’s

performance that contradicts the polarization of genders (Man/Woman) and

races (West/East)."

by By Eileen Chia-Ching Fung, Associate Professor in English Department, University of San Francisco

[jotogoloso]

"The power of Song’s subversion is her/his ability to manipulate and exploit the ideology that governs the West in their relationships with the East. Song’s self-empowerment is the very performative nature of her identity; she takes the construction of her gender into her own hands. "

by By Eileen Chia-Ching Fung, Associate Professor in English Department, University of San Francisco

[jotogoloso]

"While the construction of 'Butterfly' is demeaning and self-effacing, Song’s performance reminds us of the power of parody which s/he acts, imitates, and personifies with self-consciousness and difference. Self-consciousness is seen in his awareness of the role as an actor."
