| Brilliantly Shines His Talents By Man Kit Wah From Ming Pao Translated by Dreamer I attended the special edition of "Goodbye to my Concubine" in "Leslie Cheung Film Festival Program" on a Sunday afternoon, ran into one of my friend who can only purchase a "standing ticket". My friend has been working on directing the Arts and Cultural program for many years, he also said regretfully : Just to get the memoir is already worth it, why it is after he had died, then we would realized how charismatic and beautiful he is ? who can replace him ? When a beautiful person is no longer stay in our world, the emotional impact would really caused this kind of behaviors : people would go to the coffee shops or places he used to go, had seen or imagine he had been there before. Would stay outside the door lamenting hurted. Moreover, if that person has lived up a kind of ideality, as he had left us, those who miss him would take their time to reflect a little, why they still want to live ? For what better reasons to go on their lives happily ? That memoir which has been circulating among audience, has been quoted into a lot of articles, but all I can see are not my most shared voice. Because of this, I can't help myself to take risk of being guilty for "lazy" or "cheating on writer's wages", I swear I have to quote a few in here. For these few people that honored Leslie, they are also honoring our growth up's decades, the most concentrated of fineness from the shared common livelihood and the dreams that once we had possessed. ( People says : The light and shadow on silver screen doesn't distinguish among interests together with title, power along with sexual gratification, talents combined with passion, all these things eventually are transcripting into the audience's dreams). " Actors use their selected acting roles as a self promotional means. Leslie.... has revealed the narcissism, requisite needfulness and ignoring public values as for being an actor. We all say Ching Dep Yee and him are not two different persons, "As for him, there is no distinction between on or off stage, man or woman, don't you think so ?" ( Richard Corliss commenting on " Fairwell to My Concubine " ). Au Young Feng said under the script : " Perhaps because I'm afraid of being refused by others, that's why I refuse them first.".....that is quivering to me, after you had passed away, whenever listening to your songs; watching movies of yours, every word; sentence and image from them, are all seems to be reflecting your life. "Legend" ! Isn't that what is it all about ? ( Shu Kei said in " Ashes of Time" ) "The sources of Leslie's self confidence is relying upon his acute judgement for holding firmly to the acting character with elaborating from actuality. Thus, in every acting he had pressed down his egoism, directly reborned himself to live into the character...... disrelishing those who are lack of skills and knowledge in acting. He is a real artist." ( Tam Gar Ming said in "Nomad". ) "Leslis's withering is signaling to the end of an era. What he had left behind for us are not just lot of images, but also his fragrance and his affectionated beauty, will be kept on bringing up again and again for many years to come." ( Chen Kaige commenting on Leslie ) |
