A true masterpiece of Chinese Cinema! The women characters were all victims of tradition dominated and dictated by rich and powerful males - all trapped like animals in a dog-eat -dog world ; and all within the confines of a gorgeous mansion. Beautifully acted, photographed , scored and directed. The art design, first rate. The costumes are stunning. This is my second visit, having seen this film decades ago, and it's still such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for posting.
It’s really not that good. You’re over exaggerating yourself and it’s really embarrassing.
This movie won BAFTA award for best film and the national Society of Film Critics Award for Best Cinematography. Truly a great movie. This will be the 4th time watching it.
Thank you very much for uploading this complete version with English subtitles. Such a profound movie. So visually beautiful. So subtle. So tragic. Thank you.
没看出受到高等教育的智 2:01:14 慧和见识，倒是勾心斗角的害人害己。无聊的很
Gong Li is such a versatile and authentic actor. My all-time favorite.
I was finishing college in the 90s. For some reason, there was a lot of fine art Asian movies. Chicago had movie theaters that showed primarily fine art films. Ah, how wonderful were those days.
Such a great movie. So powerful.
Gong Li and He SaiFei (third mistress) are so talented.
While serving as a Visiting Professor in Shanghai many years ago, I watched this film on Chinese TV, and then purchased the DVD set. Still have it, among many other Chinese movies, this is an incredibly well-made historic film that shows an accurate and intense side of Chinese culture.
this movie is based on a novel, not a legend or historical.
So rich chines men in past not un like epstean and other rich Americans?
WAS THE CULTURE more than 100 years ago...
The story was artistically exaggerated n dramatized.
@@areechonpasuwan1592 The novel has no historical prototype? Not part of humanity? Which man in China doesn’t want to be emperor? The owner in this movie is just a local emperor. Is there any difference between hanging a lantern and an emperor's flop? What is the difference between these women and the concubines in the palace? Be confident and dare to face your own culture.
One of my all time favourites, I still think it’s the best work from director Zhang Yimou! Brilliantly filmed and acted especially the great Gong Li.
Fine movie but so is The Road Home
@@ianoates378 I totally agree with you. I have all his films on DVDs. Love his early films!
I like this movie but I also think it's a little pompous. I liked "Ju Dou" more.
Just brilliant!
I love this film so much and I’ve watched it so often that I know the script without subtitles. Every frame is perfect and beautiful and the story is heartbreaking.
This is more realistic than the other shows that r put on and I personally feel more of the truth and sorrow when ur looked at as a possession and not a loved one sadly. Thanks for uploading it xo
I have watched this film when first played in the cinema and I have never forgotten it. It was so powerful and my first meeting with this excellent director Yimou. Thank you for uploading this film and I had the opportunity to watch it again❤❤
Thnx for sharing this movie
Gong li is a beautiful authentic famous actress all time favorite ❤️🌷
Hope she continues her movie making
An amazing movie ! I saw it long ago. It still evokes the same emotions in me the second time around.
Thanks for posting. Please post more such great movies.
Pls post Farewell My Concubine and all the great films of Zhang Yi M oui U and Cheng Yi (?) China's films from the 80s and 90s!
Her first mistake was keep Ya'ner the servant girl by her side even after knowing she is not loyal to her mistress.
I have been looking for this film for so long and here it is.! TY.
For those who think there is nothing worse than being at the mercy of a person's WILL, doesn't this movie remind us there is something far worse--being at the mercy of a person's WHIMS?
NOP! This film has to be seen in the context of the plight of women, the expectations made on them - to be a a faithful wife, to bear children esp. afraid of a male heir, to remain a passive female suffering the follies of men.
I watched this decades ago and still remember it clearly today. A wonderful movie, a real story, too painful to watch again.
The movie is beautiful and haunting at the same time.
Day by day I'm learning from this amazing and controversial culture... Thank you for uploading this movie... How sad could a person feel? Alone and vulnerable... it's a mix of feelings and questions without answers... it's difficult to comment it because what was good in the past now is bad .... it depends of the context the year and the country... it's a good idea to watch it again to a better analysis...
A million thanks for sharing this wonderful film with us. What great story with great acting and great direction. Very powerful stuff!
Saw it years ago still remember it as it was great
This is one of my all time favorite movies!! Thanks so much 🙏🏾💓
Song Lian is a more complex character in the original novel. She was given the choice between working in a factory or getting married, she chose to marry, indicating that while she was an educated modern girl in the outside, at core she was drawn to the power and wealth of the old system…
The servant girl watching her lanterns burn. Her dreams of being a mistress and not a servant. That the master would "love" her instead of use her. All up in flames. She would not apologize for her dreams of being with the master. She "loved" him. Yet, he was only concerned about his reputation if she died. He did not care about HER. She was nothing to him. All of those women were not people to him, but property.
Trophy wives.
Confucianism in a nutshell.
Birds in a gilded cage.
Ver y sad 😢 dos not like it
Communist confusianism; XI Jin Ping democracy with communism characteristics.
Every time I watch this, I see new nuances. This time I saw that 2nd mistress was so nice to 4th mistress, because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". 3rd Mistress replaced 2nd mistress, and now 4th mistress will replace 3rd mistress. Every time 3rd mistress was upset, 2nd mistress was pleased. But as new mistresses kept coming, she would soon be forgotten like 1st mistress, so she really hated all of them.
1st Mistress was the bride of his youth.
2nd mistress was younger, pretty, fun, bubbly. 1st mistress could not compete with that.
3rd Mistress was a glamorous celebrity. 2nd mistress could not compete with that.
4th mistress was younger still, and "educated". 3rd Mistress could not compete with that.
and 5th mistress is an inexperienced child, unaware that she has been dropped into a pool of piranhas. As 1st mistress said in the beginning: such sins. She has watched her young handsome husband turn into a selfish, lecherous, unfeeling, murderer and child molester. But she is also happy to use her power when she has the chance to destroy the other mistresses. And why should the master marry the slave? He owns all the slaves. He can have whomever he wants at any time. They are ALL nothing but property to him, even the mistresses. He has no "love" for any of them.
The word 'mistress' is an incorrect translation. The 'first/elder mistress' is actually the wife (and usually the first wife, hence older), and the only one that can normally accompany the husband to outside functions. The wife also typically needs to match his social status (coming from a family with similar social standing) and is not considered 'property' like the other concubines, which can be easily be discarded (sold, kicked out of the household or killed). All other 'mistresses' are legally married 'concubines' (not illicit mistresses in the western sense). No matter which 'mistress' is being favored, the wife is tasked with keeping the 'order' within the household and holds the power in the household. While the husband can acquire or dispose of as many 'mistresses' as he wishes (aka killing the third 'mistress'), he cannot easily get rid of his wife. Weddings are normally conducted for the marriage to the wife, and only very rarely can a concubine get a wedding, because concubines don't have the same social standing as the master of the household nor his guests. This was shown in the movie where the 4th and 5th 'mistress' entered the household without any wedding.
Thank you for uploading this movie, i was searching for a long time, i viewed that movie in the 1992.
I like this movie and rewatched it several time. Thanks for sharing
Amazing movie. Long, long time since I saw it on the big screen. Gong Li!!!!!!!
The architecture is amazing!
Saw this movie years ago really good. Gong Li is so beautiful
🇫🇷 J’ai vu ce film au cinéma, j’ai le DVD et le revois encore comme la première fois. Je le vois avec une émotion intense, avec une angoisse présente qui m’étreint chaque fois. La sobriété de la mise en scène accentue l’anticipation d’une tragédie que l’on sait avoir commencé dès les premières scènes. C’est un film d’une grande intensité et d’une qualité extrême.
Marie-Christine, je suis tout a fait d'accord avec votre commentaire.
@@taravaotahiti oui ! C’est un film tout à fait remarquable. Merci pour votre aimable commentaire.
Wow. Amazingly beautiful and haunting film!
After watching this movie I have deepest gratitude for my life. It was heard but I did experience freedom to make my decisions. Life without freedom is absolut waist. I love my body that belongs to me as much as soul. That is power, only treasure we can find. I feel sorry for thous WHO posses others, they live in poverty. 😢
Beautiful film, absolutely amazing work in cinematography.
It's a suck movie!
No blood , no violence, no Guns, no nudity , no bad words , no special effect ,,,GREAT moovie
Perfect words... Totally agree
This is among top 100 movies in the last century
One of Zhang Yi Mou's cinematic masterpieces.
One of the world's best films ever ❣️
Beautiful movie..just sad ending.
I saw this on the big screen in SF when it came out. It still haunts me.
Thank you for this wonderful drama and blessings for the english subtitles 👍🙏
A tragic ending. Visually perfect
Thank you for the upload. Though the ending is sad but it showed the reality of the women’s life at that time. N made me realise to appreciate my current life in current time and world.
Thank you!❤
Tqvm fr sharing this movie. Gong Li❤
One of the defining films of the 90's, and one of the best in world cinema. This is Yimou's masterpiece!
So special movie👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
An excellent movie, so galvanising
Is it just me? But I felt the director intentionally only focused on the female characters. I tried hard to see The master. But he was never shown in close up.
It was amazing to able to see the artistic building. It felt like a small village rather than a house. I loved the veranda.
The director was amazing to actually showcase major events with simplest of action. This thing is rare in modern cinema these days.
That’s the point. The viewers are supposed to see the situation through the lens of the mistresses.
I like how the director did this, you really get a sense of the distance from the master, a reflection of the relationship of the master and his concubines.
Masterpiece.
I saw this years ago. It was amazing.
My favourite film. At last, I can share what I've been talking about for many years.
In what way? What part was significant to you?
💖 excellent! I saw this over 20 years ago... It's still good! 💖
Absolutely love this movie, I watched so many times over the years 💕
why would you "love" a movie like this? Tormented ladies trying to survive in a sick household.
@@mallikadasiDon’t be so simple, I don’t love the torture of the characters. It’s the acting , the production..the glimpse into an unknown world. You know the things people love about cinema.
This is masterpiece 👏👏👏
I watched this film in the mid 90s, it left a lasting impression. They don't make them like this anymore.
Such a fine director. I also enjoyed The Road Home
Good quality movie.
Different type of movie that most would watch but it’s good. Read the comments and you’ll see that not much have changed😢
Masterpiece, unforgettable.
Wow, maravillosa. La había visto hace muchos años, nunca pensé tener nueva oportunidad de apreciarla. Gracias, youtube!!!!!❤️🏮🪭🎎
This is pure "Art" ..
I have nothing to add
the music is soo candid , sounds almost like indian music over here in mountain regions and rural areas of orissa and chhattisgarh.
THANK YOU
The details of the story as presented in this Movie may be a thing of the past. But the message of the story is very relevant. A patriarchal society that uses women for their selfish comforts is oppressive any time anywhere. Today only the means and methods of oppression have changed but the reality remains.
A Movie for which it is worth spending two hours.
It sucks being a woman sometimes lol no matter how educated this is how we are treated while men can do whatever they want and get away with it especially if they are rich and powerful. He can have so many wives but once one cheats, its the end of the world. And we have to suck it up even when they do wrong we are supposed to stay silent and act happy like we are okay.
love this move
I enjoyed the movie. It’s unfortunate that 4th wife never escaped from there. I thought there would be a turning point because she was so sure she would turn things into her favor.
This is why women must be empowered
There is nothing romantic about the movie but it is interesting, a sad reality for women in the past and for many in the present worldwide.
Yes, sad reality , because they sell themselves to rich men , then they say they are treated like possessions.
@@MarianLuca-rz5kk Most men worldwide, rich or poor, eventually in a relationship, treat their woman like an object, no matter why she married him, that's just how it is. About the movie, In many countries like China women married because their family would receive money or favors. So most often girls were married or were sold to help their families. Also, like in the movie, girls were *forced* to become a concubine or a legal wife according to whomever the parents chose.
There's nothing to suggest this is a romantic film!
Magnificent movie! Very sad too🥲🥲🥲
Yes very sad These 4 mistresses are worth nothing for this rich man..He only wants trophies and satisfy his needs and have a son, a future heir..but they are objects for him properties, nothing more .. Its sad ..They live in a gilded cage just to compete with each other and be the favorite of the master ..They have no aim for them no purpose nothing..They could have studied , read in their room and written memoirs or learnt to sing or play an instrument..
Thank you for uploading this one of my favourite movies. I watched it twice. This movie is so perfect allure and excellent background music. Anyway, even nowadays some Asian men are still treating women (even wives) as their property and not the loved ones.
WHAAAAAAT THAAAAAANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU
I love this movie so much and it is difficult to get!
Amazingly beautiful!
Blla🥰 Admindaa amjilt goyo kino bna. 👌
that man had four wives but still had that maid by his side disgracing his legal wives, that man is not satisfying his wives who had nobody but that old sick man as a husband but he has all variety of age to satisfy his vicious lust for women, he fails to run his household with faithfullness what a looser a weak man, this movie is brilliant, actors did a phenomenal performance well done director, but they should have punished second wife for her sins too in the story
I think we all amuse ourselves to keep on living.
Traduccion en español por favor gracias
Gong Li ~ The Worlds Most Beautiful and Talented Actress
It's interesting after 4th mistress said, "We are not people in this house, but we are treated like dogs, cats or rats". Then the maid dies and she is taken back to her grieving family. The maid was a person too. She was an ignorant, helpless little girl, trapped, just like she is.
That’s true, but the maid (rat) betrayed the 4th mistress. It wasn’t Songlians’ fault Yan er was holding onto the false promises the master gave her. That and second mistress was helping her against another rival.
She was a pawn for one wife, a servant to another and a toy to the master. Songlian was right. It was better for the servant to die than to go on suffering.
If a good system brings out the best in people, doesn't a bad system bring out the worst?
can admin pl upload other gong li movies. this has been repeated many times. tq
I wish this movie could just end i am half way through its to painful to watch anymore💔
I saw the movie in 1993 for the first time at a film festival in college in Malaysia, just realized that’s 30 years ago. 😂
Wow that's amazing, Im watching this right now as a part of my Chinese Cinema class in college 31 years later! Good day to you my friend!
Malaysia is an excellent country. I would rather be poor in Malaysia instead of being middle class(no such thing)in the USA.
@@youknowkbbabyAs someone who have lived in both the U.S. and Malaysia, I live a much better quality of life and pays a lot less taxes in Malaysia. 😂
@lees7340 I envy you bro. Well the great Malay people have earned every bit of success. They followed the asian way of caring for parents, and parents caring for their grandchildren. They believe in free markets and giving the common man the opportunity to open a business easily. The USA dropped the ball big time. 🇲🇾 💪
É uma pena que não tenha legendas em português.
I am giving this a 10 + rating
Epouses et Concubines sortie en France en 1991, je me souviens. Je vais le regarder avec les sous-titres en anglais.
Merci pour le partage.

Could this Winston Churchill quote also apply to customs?: "We shape our buildings and afterward our buildings shape us."
Maybe this is the true story longtime ago about Chinese b4, Sad
Nice
This movie is mentioned in the 2022 article "Movies Which Explore the Consequences Borne by People Removed From Traditional Group Norms".
NONSENSICAL!
Not a Romance movie, but a Traggic one. Oahu, Hawaii USA
It is, in my opinion, sad and an awful plight of women in that period of time. Having to be one of many to marry a man they didn't have a choice in and having to compete with favors for his attention. So disappointed, this was no romantic movie. Scary
I am half way into the movie. Just curious to know what other viewers thoughts. You said it right not "romantic " at all. It's all about a rich man who can afford concubines. Not much of a creativity in the production (action wise)
Yes this is not love move, absolute tragedy, so this is very deep and artistically move ever seen, really impressed me too much, I'm 50 & saw too much films in my whole life but this is very different form at all, also compare to the time of made very post modern at all, plot or direct or cut or light or camera angle or etc... In short very amazing move but huge difference & bitter mixed truth of human life... In one word Absolutely tragic story... Tribute to this director, screen written and film at all... Tribute
Terrible movie. I waisted my time watching it hoping a better ending outcome for the 4th mistress. Aloha! Oahu, Hawaii USA
This was also a time where treating your child as a product was fairly acceptable. Parents could legally sell their children.. so cultural twists on filial piety becomes a shackle on the society.
Gong Li young and naive at 19. She's the smartest among the four concubine. Chinese are typically known to have mistresses outside marriage even till this days. The more sugar the plenty are the bees attracted. The maid is the key to ruins and damages so never trust them with your secrets.
A very disturbing movie. A prison! What a waste of a woman’s life!
15:25 I can just see a modern film maker failing to make this scene so powerful. She cries in the mirror? Okay film it, done.
But this movie does it so well! She walks over, picks up a red lantern, one of the literal motifs of the movie, and stands emotionlessly in front of the mirror. She has a metaphorical mask on, one where she betrays no emotion. She has been sold off to an old rich man, violated, disrespected by the third mistress, and left alone on her “wedding night”. A single tear falls down her cheek, and her mask slips. She gives in momentarily to a moment of despair at the fate she has been dealt, and then the mask comes back on.
Masks like the second wife wears, or the third mistress has in her literal house. This is such a beautiful and despairing movie.
I like her outfits very flattering colors..the third mistress is so needy!
1:58:38 what song is this I love this song and I really love this movie
The Chinese Shakespeare!
25:58
It's interesting that the 3rd mistress said the 2nd mistress has the face of Buddha, but a wicked heart. 2nd mistress seemed very kind n patient, with a smiley face, but she is a conniving witch with an evil heart. Why didn"t she get her comeuppance at all... She used other people to bring misery to her "enemy"/competitor. The naïve 4th mistress learnt her lessons too late n got manipulated by the 2nd and 3rd mistresses. None of the mistresses looked happy, the 5th one looked so scared like she was about to cry on her wedding day. Sucks to be a woman... To be trapped and hopeless 😢😢
She didn't get her 'comeuppance' because it mirrors 'real life'--people who are cunning, generally will be able to get away with things. And the cycle continues as mistress 5 will be deceived also by her, and she will have no one to warn her (she'll learn herself). And as mistress 2 grows older (less attractive), her master/husband will definitely prefer his younger concubine BUT, with age, her master/husband will prefer companionship to sex, as he may not be as spry as he used to be. And mistress 2 is excellent at being amiable and 'sweet.'
@tracys169 Isn't the best way to bring out deviousness and slyness in people to enslave them by denying them the possibility of having normal relationships which is part of leading a normal life?
It's because this is a tragedy and unfortunately more realistic in that the reckless sociopaths often win over the good, kind people.
