VHS Movie Reviews of M Butterfly [VHS]

Movie Review: M. Butterfly
Summary: 5 Stars

At first I didn't know quiet what to make of this movie. Jeremy Irons sure does have the talent to play "STRANGE" beyond words. I don't own the VHS, I have a movie on a CD, but still this is quiet an interesting movie. To love someone for 18 years and NOT know they are man, only proves, "Love is blind". After I watched this a couple of times, I grew to appreciate the talent that REALLY went into this movie. ONLY Jeremy Irons and John Lone could have pulled this off. If you are affended by same sex love, don't watch this!!! I cried at the end... I simply LOVE this movie. I have watched it so many times, and each time, I find something I didn't see before. GREAT directing, GREAT actors and just plain a GREAT movie. It's NOT a porn movie!! It's LOVE at it's deepest. When I first saw John Lone singing [don't know if he did his own singing] I was as amazed as Jeremy Irons. It was beautiful. I really thought she was a "she". To pull off, having a baby was simply super. It ends so sad, I won't say how, due to some who haven't seen this, but I REALLY did cry. I am not the "weapy cry baby" at movies, but this one got to me. I highly recommend this movie. 5 stars aren't enough!

Summary of M Butterfly [VHS]

Jeremy Irons gives another superb and underrated performance in M?Butterfly, an elegant adaptation of the Broadway hit by playwright David Henry Hwang. Irons plays a French diplomat in China in 1964 who falls in love with a star of the Beijing Opera, not realizing that the entrancing performer holds secrets that will ruin his life--that the singer is a spy for the Communist government is only the beginning of the diplomat's troubles. Though M?Butterfly may seem like a departure for director David Cronenberg (best known for horror and science fiction flicks like The Fly and Scanners), the themes of desire and self-deception fit comfortably into his oeuvre, alongside his adaptations of difficult novels like Naked Lunch and Crash. M?Butterfly, like the more popular movie The Crying Game, is a cunning examination of love and denial. Also featuring John Lone (The Last Emperor). --Bret Fetzer
