Watched M. Butterfly yesterday with Karen. And finally understood what Agnes and Durga meant by, "It's a really nice movie.". Nice? Yes... But also absolutely revolting. And yet, it's also absolutely memory-reviving... After watching the movie yesterday, I kept thinking back to the scene where "Butterfly" revealed "her" body to Rene G. And then thought back to other scenes in the movie. It's almost like a merry-go-round, where I go round and round, recalling scenes from the movie... Argh... Can I stop thinking???

Anyway, the movie was a really different adaption from the original Broadway play. I think I would prefer the play to the movie itself. At the very least, the play conformed to all normal and digestable standards. Sure, in Madama Butterfly, Butterfly commits suicide so as to safeguard her son's future. In a way, it's a noble maternal act. An act of maternal concern and love for one's child. And yet, the movie deletes such an act of maternal nobility. Instead, it changes into one of pure disgust and revolt. "Butterfly" turns out to be a scheming spy, a spy who is willing to go to all levels to achieve "her" goals. Never mind "she" is a spy, why did she have to turn out to be a man as well??? No wonder I only saw the two leading guys' names on the cover of the videotape... and thought it strange? I was wondering throughout the movie who the other guy is throughout the movie... And now I know... And I kinda admire the guy who acts as the spy... He is super super convincing as a woman... Even I am fooled... '-'

Whatever it is, still kudos to the director and scriptwriter of the movie... It totally upset conventions, all that we believe in, and turned it 360 around...
