My Body is a Cage • Farewell my Concubine

My most favourite movie ever and amazing song about being caged in your own body... It’s story about Cheng Dieyi, young actor who is obsessed with his role- Yu Concubine (虞姬), who is dedicated to it and his friend Xiaolou, who plays King Xiang Yu of Chu. They both playing in famous Peking Opera, which is traditional and beautiful part of chinese culture. 霸王别姬 (Ba Wang Bie Ji, aka Farewell my Concubine) is masterpiece. I highly recommend you to watch this movie. My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love My mind holds the key My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key I’m standing on a stage Of fear and self doubt It’s a hollow play But they’ll clap anyway --- Time taken: 14 hours Movie: Farewell my Concubine Music: Peter Gabriel- My Body is a Cage Starring: Leslie Cheung, Zhang Fengyi, Gong Li, Ge You
