M butterfly play5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() This almost unbelievable story stimulated Hwang’s imagination, and from it he created a drama that plays with ideas on a grand scale and manages at the same time to be witty and entertaining. The diplomat apparently became aware of the deception only in 1986, when he was charged by the French government with treason-it transpired that his companion had been an agent for the Chinese government, and had passed on sensitive political information that he had acquired from the diplomat. ![]() The play is based on a bizarre but true story of a French diplomat who carried on a twenty-year affair with a Chinese actor and opera singer, not realizing that his partner was in fact a man masquerading as a woman. Butterfly enjoyed a popular run on Broadway and when it moved to London’s Shaftsbury Theatre in 1989 it broke all box office records in the first week. It was first produced in 1988 and won numerous awards, including the Tony Award for Best Play of the Year, the New York Drama Desk Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Broadway play, and the John Gassner Award for the season’s outstanding new playwright. Butterfly is one of the most celebrated of recent American plays, and the first by an Asian-American to win universal acclaim. ![]()

Lunar chronicles cinder5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Sailor Moon was my all-time favorite TV show and manga as a child. someone had answered my prayers! I don't think you can understand my excitement for that. But then shortly before I read it, another blogger informed me that not only is it a Cinderella retelling, but also had Sailor Moon elements. Marissa Meyer, my hat's off to you because a cyborg Cinderella in New Beijing, China? Badass. When I first heard of Cinder before it's release, it was gaining quite a bit of buzz known for the retelling of Cinderella. But all that doesn't really matter now because I've remedied the problem and absolutely fallen in love with this wonderful story. What a HUGE mistake! I even had the nerve to go into my local bookstore twice, pick Cinder up, and put it right back down. Why in the world did I procrastinate with reading it? I've had Cinder sitting on my Kindle for a few months now and I continued to put it off over and over again. Let me go ahead and get this out of the way. ![]()

But overall it was a very good comedy with an original story. The only problem with the projection that I have attended was the quality of the actual film, I don't know if it was intended (maybe) or not but a lot of exterior scenes had a yellowish halo to it like if the director would have put a yellow filter over the camera lense and also the quality of the film with some badly made cut overs was questionnable. I hope that this movie will come out on VHS format so I can buy it and show it to my friends. I would recommend it no question ask to anyone. The story, the actors and the settings was entertaining and well rendered, this is a very good comedy to me. That movie is based on a Mario Vargas Llosa book is very very good piece on entertainment.
